Changes to Terms or Services

We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site or through other communications.

Links to Third Party Websites or Resources

The Services and App may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We provide these links only as a convenience and are not responsible for the content or services on or available from those websites or resources or links displayed on such websites. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from, your use of any third-party websites or resources.

Warranty Disclaimers

The Services and Content are provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind. Without limiting the foregoing, we explicitly disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment or non-infringement and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

We make no warranty that the Services will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. We make no warranty regarding the quality, accuracy, timeliness, truthfulness, completeness or reliability of any Content.

Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold harmless Adaptiv and its officers, directors, employee and agents, from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Services or Content or (ii) your violation of these Terms.

Limitation of Liability

Neither Adaptiv nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services or Content will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits, loss of data or goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute Services arising out of or in connection with these terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services or Content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Adaptiv has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

In no event will Adaptiv’s total liability arising out of or in connection with these terms or from the use of or inability to use the Services or Content exceed the amounts you have paid to Adaptiv for use of the Services or Content, or fifty dollars ($50), if you have not had any payment obligations to Adaptiv, as applicable. The exclusion and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Adaptiv and you.

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Adaptiv and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Adaptiv and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Adaptiv’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Adaptiv may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by Adaptiv under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) by Adaptiv via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Adaptiv’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Adaptiv. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
