Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and share information, and your rights under laws like the GDPR/UK GDPR and, where applicable, the CCPA/CPRA. Where required, we offer mechanisms to exercise rights such as access, deletion, and objection to processing, and to opt out of the “sale”/“sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnity) will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pennsylvania, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Venue and Jurisdiction for any permitted court action will lie exclusively in the courts located in Pennsylvania, United States of America.

  • No Arbitration Clause. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts specified above.

20) Severability; Waiver; Entire Agreement

If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be replaced with a valid term that most closely reflects the original intent, and the rest will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersedes any prior understandings.
