If Company furnishes you with any advice or assistance concerning any services, products, subscriptions, or systems which is not required pursuant to these Terms, the furnishing of such advice or assistance shall not subject Company to any liability whatsoever to you, whether in contract, in tort (including negligence), under warranty or otherwise.
Your use of the site is at your own risk. The site is provided on an “as is” and “with all faults” basis, without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, the warranties of merchantability, non-infringement and fitness for particular purpose.

The Site may contain links or references to other websites or feature services of third parties for the convenience of users: (a) in locating information, products, or services that may be of interest; and/or (b) with performing or receiving the services made available through the Site, and complying with any requirements associated with such transactions.

Company encourages you to read the privacy policies and terms of use linked or referenced in connection with third party websites.
- Service Access
While Company endeavors to ensure that the Site is normally available 24 hours a day, it will not be liable if for any reason it is unavailable at any time or for any period. Access to the Site may be suspended temporarily and without notice in case of a system failure, maintenance or repair or for reasons beyond our control.
- Limitation of Liability
In no event will the company be liable for damages other than actual and direct damages proven either in a court of law or through arbitration. In no event shall the company's liability exceed the price you paid for services or products that are the subject of the claim. If any part of this limitation of liability is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, then the total liability of the company and its licensors shall not exceed ten us dollars.
In as much as permitted by law, and except for damage caused by willful intent or gross negligence, company and their affiliates, subsidiaries and licensors and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders or agents of any of them, exclude all liability and responsibility for any amount or kind of loss or damage that may result to you or a third party (including any indirect, or consequential loss or damage, or any loss of income, profits, goodwill or data) in connection with (a) the use of products or services obtained on or through the site; (b) the site, user content, or site content in any way; or (c) the use, inability to use or the results of use of the site, any websites linked to the site or the material on such websites, including loss or damage due to viruses that may infect your computer equipment, software, data or other property on account of your access to, use of or browsing of the site or your use of any site content or any websites linked to the site; all the foregoing regardless of legal theory, whether or not you or we had been advised of the possibility or probability of such damages, and even if the remedies otherwise available fail of their essential purpose.
If you are dissatisfied with the site, services, or with any of these terms, or feel we have breached these terms, your sole remedy is to discontinue using the site.
- Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company, its parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors and suppliers, from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Site and Services; (b) your violation of any of these Terms, including the Privacy Policy; (c) your fraud, violation of law, negligence, or willful misconduct; (d) your violation of any third party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights; and (e) the use of the Site by any person using your account or account login. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive the termination or cessation of these Terms and your use of the Site. Company reserves the right, at Company’s own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you hereunder, and you shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in such defense. You may not settle any claim that is referenced or otherwise covered by this Section 12 without the prior written consent of Company.
- Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Requirements
You represent and warrant that you: (a) will comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements of any governmental or supranational body with jurisdiction over these Terms or either party, which include: (i) anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, and (ii) international trade laws and regulations, including those of the US, EU, UK, and UN (“Sanctions”); (b) you are not (and to the extent you act on behalf of your company, your company is not) a target of Sanctions; (c) to the extent that you act on behalf of your company, your company is not owned or controlled by any person or entity that is a target of Sanctions; and (d) you are not (and to the extent you act on behalf of your company, your company is not) located in a jurisdiction that is a target of Sanctions (including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea Region of the Ukraine) (“Sanctioned Jurisdiction”). You further represent and warrant that you will not (and to the extent you act on behalf of your company, your company will not) transfer, provide access, or use the Site and Services (including tools and intellectual property) to or for the benefit of any Specially Designated National and Blocked Person (as designated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control), to or in any Sanctioned Jurisdiction, or to any other party if such transfer, access, or use would constitute a violation of Sanctions.
- Arbitration
You and Company agree that any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site and/or the Services, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, which cannot be resolved informally, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before one (1) arbitrator; provided, however, in the event that the dispute involves an allegation of liability in excess of $250,000 USD, three (3) arbitrators shall be used. Any dispute arising out of these Terms shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual; and an arbitrator must also follow and enforce these Terms, as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except those issues relating to arbitrability and the scope or enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. Arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California, unless Company elects otherwise.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Company users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Company user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
You acknowledge and agree that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. You further acknowledge and agree that you waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Company otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.
In the event this Section 14 is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 14 will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Section 14 will survive termination of the Terms and your use of the Site.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Site, the Services, and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to its choice or conflict of law provisions or rules. Subject to the arbitration requirements set forth herein, to the extent that any legal suit, action or proceeding arises out of, or relates to, these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Site, or the Services, such suit shall be instituted exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California or the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California. You waive any objection to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
- Operation of the Site and United States Law
The Site is controlled and operated from within the United States. Without limiting anything else, Company makes no representation that the Site, Site Content, services, products, information, or other materials available on, in, or through the Site is appropriate or available for use outside the United States, and access to them from territories where they are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Site from outside the United States do so on their own will and are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
- Notice of Infringing Content
While we are under no legal obligation to actively screen or edit User Content, we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to modify, edit or remove any User Content, or to request a user to modify or edit his or her User Content, if a complaint or notice of allegedly infringing materials is received with respect to the User Content, or for any other reason.
To complain about User Content and/or to provide notice of allegedly infringing materials on the Site, please contact us using the contact information provided above.
- Miscellaneous
These Terms, including the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire legal agreement between you and Company regarding the Site and govern your use of the Site, Services, and any transactions you may have with Company through the Site. These Terms completely replace and supersede any prior agreement or understanding, arrangement, undertaking, or proposal, written or oral, between you and Company regarding these matters. In the event any other rule, code of conduct, or other matter posted on the Site conflicts with these Terms, these Terms shall govern. No oral explanation or oral information given by any party shall alter the interpretation of these Terms.
You understand that Company may make changes to these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to these Terms will be considered your consent to those changes. When these changes are made, Company will make a new copy of the Terms available on the Site. You agree that Company is under no obligation to provide you with notices regarding changes to these Terms. You understand that it is your responsibility to check the Terms regularly for changes.
You agree that any failure or delay by Company to exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy contained in or made available by these Terms (or that Company has the benefit of under any applicable law) will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Company’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Company. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide a matter arising out of these Terms, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from these Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms and the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the whole, or any part of, the Site and the Services, without notice, and that we will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, to you or any other person or entity for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of any such modifications or discontinuance.
These Terms are binding upon you, your heirs, executors, beneficiaries, successors and assigns and you may not assign these Terms to any other party without our prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in our sole and absolute discretion.
