Limitation of Liability
In no event shall we, our affiliates, or any of our respective officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to the use of the App or the Account, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory.
Indemnification
The trade account holder agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold us, our affiliates, and our respective officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, or other expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise directly or indirectly out of or from the trade account holder's breach of these Terms or their use of the App or the Account.
Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting, and the continued use of the App or the Account after such modifications will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which our company is registered, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The trade account holder agrees to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the same jurisdiction for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the App or the Account.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable.
Waiver
No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any other agreements, policies, or terms incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the trade account holder and us concerning the use of the App and the Account and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether electronic, oral, or written, between the parties.
