TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: July, 2023

These terms of service (the "Terms of Service") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and us, collectively referred to as "we," "us," or "our." These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of our website and services. By accepting these Terms of Service, accessing or using our Services, or otherwise showing your agreement to these Terms of Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference (together, this "Agreement"). If you do not agree to any of these terms, please refrain from using our Services.

Please note that the sections titled "Binding Arbitration" and "Class Action Waiver" contain a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver that affect your legal rights. It is essential to read and understand these sections.

For terms not explicitly defined in these Terms of Service, please refer to our Privacy Policy for their meaning.

  1. RESTRICTIONS

If you are 13 or older but below the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to ensure mutual understanding. If you are under 13, you can use the Services only with the consent of your parent or guardian.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to deny you access to the Services or any portion of it without prior notice or explanation.

  1. ACCOUNT

If you wish to save preferences on our platform, you must register for an account. You may log in using third-party login providers such as Facebook or Google. If you choose not to use third-party credentials, you will be prompted to create an account, which will require a sign-in name ("Sign-In Name"), password ("Password"), and potentially additional information to authenticate your identity in future logins ("Unique Identifiers"). When creating your account, you must provide accurate, current, and complete information. Each Sign-In Name and corresponding Password is for the exclusive use of a single authorized user. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and proper use of your Sign-In Name, Password, and Unique Identifiers, as well as for any activities or communications made using them. Please inform us promptly of any need to deactivate a Password or Sign-In Name or change any Unique Identifier. We reserve the right to delete or modify your Password, Sign-In Name, or Unique Identifier at any time and for any reason, without any liability to you for resulting losses or damages. We are under no obligation to accept any individual or entity as an account holder and may accept or reject registrations at our sole discretion. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account.
