TERMS OF SERVICE
Version 1.0 Last Modified: May 1, 2023

Termination
Your Rights
You may terminate your account or your use of the Services at any time. If you owe us any payments at the time you terminate your account or use of the Services, then you must promptly pay us all such payments after the termination. In all cases, you will remain liable for any damage you caused or may later cause to us or any part of the Services.
Our Rights
We may temporarily or permanently terminate one or both of (a) your account and delete all content (including Your Content) associated with your account, and (b) your licensee to use the Services. We may exercise those rights at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion, with or without notice to you.
Survival of Terms
Even if your account or your license to use the Services is terminated (by either party), the following provisions of these Terms will continue to apply to you and will survive such termination: (a) all provisions restricting your right to use the Services and all provisions limiting our obligations to you, (b) all provisions related to your obligation to pay us sums you owe us, (c) all provisions related to our intellectual property rights and all provisions related to your licenses of (and representations regarding) Your Content, (d) all provisions related to your indemnification obligations and all provisions related to arbitration, governing law,
jurisdiction, and waiver of jury trials, (e) all provisions related to exclusions, disclaimers, and limitations of liability (except as limited by applicable law), (f) all provisions related to termination of your account and license to use the Services, and (g) all miscellaneous provisions.
Indemnification
You shall indemnify us and our parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and the respective owners, directors, officers, managers, employees, contractors, and other representatives, of us and our parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates (the “Protected Parties”) against all reasonable expenses including attorneys’ fees, costs, and damages of every kind (the “Losses”) arising out of any suit, claim, investigation, or proceeding, which is threatened or brought against us, related to your (a) use of the Services, (b) breach of these Terms or any other policies referenced in these Terms, (c) submission of content that violates third party rights or applicable laws, or (d) violation of applicable law. We may, at your expense, assume the exclusive control and defense of any such matter. You shall cooperate, at your expense, with our control and defense of any such matter. You shall not settle any such matter without our prior written consent.
Arbitration
If a dispute arises between you and us related to the Services, your use of the Services, or these Terms or any policies referenced in these Terms, then the dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court (arbitration does not involve a judge or jury and court review of arbitration awards is limited). To initiate an arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent on file with the Arizona Secretary of State. The arbitration proceedings will be held in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA, or virtually if both you and we agree to virtual arbitration.
If this agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to your claim, then both you and we agree that any judicial proceedings will be brought in accordance with the legal provisions below.
Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate above, we may assert a claim seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from any court as necessary to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration.
CLASS ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED: All claims, including all arbitration claims, must be brought on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations, are not allowed.
Legal Provisions
Governing Law & Jurisdiction
Our provision of the Services, your use of the Services, and these Terms and all policies referenced in these Terms, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Arizona excluding its conflict of law principles. With respect to any dispute arising out of or related to any of the foregoing, both you and we consent to jurisdiction in, and the exclusive venue of, the state courts in Maricopa County, Arizona, or when applicable in the U.S. District Court having jurisdiction over that county.
Waiver of Jury Trial
You and we each waive trial by jury in all actions, proceedings, or counterclaims brought by either party against the other on any matter arising out of or in any way connected to the Services, your use of the Services, and these Terms and all policies referenced in these Terms.
Miscellaneous
Entire Agreement
These Terms, and all policies referenced in these Terms (if applicable to you), contain the entire agreement between you and us related to the Services and your use of the Services, and supersede all prior discussions and agreements (whether oral or written) by you and us related to the same.
Waiver
Any failure or delay by us to exercise any right or remedy in these Terms will not operate as a waiver of the same. Any waiver by us of a breach by you of any provision in these Terms will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Any waiver by us will not be effective unless and until it is in written form and signed by us.
Severability
Each provision in these Terms will be treated as separate and independent of the other provisions. Accordingly, if a court with competent jurisdiction declares a provision unenforceable, then the provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that it remains enforceable. If such amendment is not possible, then the unenforceable provision will be deemed removed from these Terms, but the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
Assignment
You may not assign your rights or obligations in these Terms, or any policies referenced in these Terms, without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment by you will be null and void. We may assign our rights and obligations in these Terms at any time, for any reason, with or without notice to you.
Power to Amend These Terms
We may amend these Terms any time, for any reason, with or without notice to you. Your continued use of the Services after the amended Terms are posted on the Services will constitute your acknowledgment and agreement to the amended Terms. However, to the extent the amended Terms materially alter your rights or obligations in these Terms, the amended Terms will become effective upon the earlier of (a) your continued use of the Services with actual knowledge of the amended Terms, or (b) 30 days after the amended Terms are posted on the Services.
