1. DESCRIPTION OF OUR SERVICES

The details shared through the utilization of our Services are not intended for dissemination or usage by any individual or entity in jurisdictions or countries where such dissemination or usage would breach local laws or regulations, or subject us to registration requirements within those jurisdictions or countries.

Our Services are not designed to comply with sector-specific regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).

2. REGISTRATION OF USER

You may be required to register to use the Services. You agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change a username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

This allows us to finalize your transactions and reach out to you when required. Depending on our discretion, sales tax may be added to the cost of purchases. We reserve the right to alter prices at any given time. Payments will be in US dollars, unless specific countries necessitate compliance with local regulations, in which case we demonstrate flexibility by charging in local currency.

By placing your order, you give consent to pay all charges at the prices effective at that time for your purchases and any associated processing fees. You also authorize us to charge the amounts to the payment provider of your choice. Even if we have previously requested or received payment, we retain the right to correct any pricing errors or discrepancies.

15. APPLICABLE LAW

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.



16. RESOLVING DISPUTES

First, Try to Work It Out

If there's a dispute related to these Legal Terms, both of us will try to resolve it informally for at least 30 days before going to arbitration.


Arbitration

If we can't resolve the dispute informally, we'll go to binding arbitration instead of court. This means you're giving up the right to sue in court or have a jury trial. The arbitration will follow the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. It might happen in person, through documents, over the phone, or online. The arbitrator must follow the law and their decision can be challenged if they don't. The arbitration will take place in Delaware.


Court Cases

If for some reason a dispute ends up in court instead of arbitration, it will be handled in the state and federal courts in Delaware. We both agree to this location and give up any objections to it. You must start any lawsuit within one year after the cause of action arose. If part of this provision can't be enforced, that dispute will be decided in court.


Restrictions and Exceptions

We both agree that arbitration will be between us only, not part of any class-action lawsuit or involving other people. Some disputes, like those over intellectual property, allegations of theft or privacy invasion, or seeking an injunction, are not subject to negotiation or arbitration. If this provision can't be enforced, that dispute will be decided in court.


17. DURATION AND ENDING THE AGREEMENT

These Legal Terms will stay in effect for as long as you use our Services. We have the right to stop you from using our Services and can block specific IP addresses without giving a reason or advance notice. This could happen for violating any part of these Legal Terms or any law. We can end your use of the Services, remove your account, and erase anything you have posted at any time, without warning.

If we close your account for any reason, you can't make a new one using your name, a false name, or another person's name. We can also take legal action against you, including suing for damages or getting a court order.


18. DISCLAIMERS

Even if we have been previously advised of the possibility of such damages, our liability will always be limited to the amount paid by you to us during the six (6) months prior to any cause of action arising. Some jurisdictions do not permit limitations on warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, therefore, these limitations may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.

20. INDEMNITY

You commit to defending, indemnifying, and exempting us, including our affiliates, subsidiaries, and all our respective officers, agents, employees, and partners, from any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. This can be due to or as a result of: (1) your use of the Services; (2) violation of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties mentioned in these Legal Terms; (4) infringement of the rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights; or (5) any explicit harmful act towards another user of the Services whom you connected with via the Services.
