If we allow you to create a user account for any of our Services, you are responsible for any activity that occurs through your account and you agree you will not sell, transfer, license or assign your account, username, or any account rights. All information you provide or provided to us must be true, accurate, current and complete and you agree to update your information as necessary to maintain its truth and accuracy. You are responsible for keeping your password for the Services (if any) secret and secure. If anyone other than yourself uses your credentials (or credentials you assigned to them) to access your account, they may also perform actions available to you, and view or make changes to your account, and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf, whether or not specifically authorized by you. You should therefore only share account credentials with people you trust, and will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.
You represent that at all relevant times you own all necessary rights in and to any content uploaded, developed or provided by you, or imported, connected, copied or uploaded through our Services (“User Content”), including any text, images, designs, animations, videos, audio files, fonts, logos, code, illustrations, compositions, or other content or media, as necessary to legally access, copy, use, publish, transfer and license such User Content in the provision of the Services and for other purposes provided under these Terms. You further represent that you have obtained all third-party consents and permissions required under applicable laws regarding the collection, processing, storing, posting and transmission of any personal information and/or image or likeness of any person, entity or property which is part of the User Content, and you will adhere to all such applicable laws.
We do not claim ownership rights to any of your User Content. However, you hereby grant us a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise disclose to third parties any information that you send to us through the Services or otherwise in order to provide our Services and to maintain and improve the Services in accordance with these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Personal information collected by us in connection with the Services will be maintained in accordance with our posted Privacy Policy.
Intellectual Property Rights
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for lawful and intended purposes in accordance with these Terms and our Privacy Policy. The Services contain Materials owned or licensed by us, including name, logo, text, images, audio/visual works, icons and scripts and other materials provided on or through the Services. Except as provided herein, none of the Materials may be copied, distributed, displayed, downloaded, or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior written permission from us or the third-party owner. Unauthorized use of any Materials provided by the Services may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and/or other regulations and statutes.

We may pursue legal action under applicable laws and/or report to law enforcement for any violations, and we may terminate the account of any user believed to violate our Terms. We may also disable any social media features and any links at any time without notice in our sole discretion.
Trademarks and service marks that may be referred to in the Services are our property or their respective owners. Nothing in the Services should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any trademark without our written permission. You are not authorized to use our company and brand names and logos without express written permission, except to the extent otherwise permitted by law.
If you choose to send us feedback, recommendations, issues, information, ideas, suggestions, or other materials in connection with our business or Services, you agree that we are free to use it for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing and marketing products and services, without any liability or payment of any kind to you, and without any commitment to confidentiality unless we expressly provide otherwise.
We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we prohibit users of our Services from submitting, uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting any materials that violate another person’s intellectual property rights or these Terms. If you believe that any material available on or through the Services infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify us via the contact information provided at the end of these Terms.
Materials
We may update the content in our Services and Materials from time to time, but it will not necessarily be complete or up-to-date. You acknowledge that we may not always identify promoted services or content, or commercial communications as such. Although it is our intention for the Services to be available as much as possible, there may be occasions when the Services may be interrupted, including, without limitation, for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, for emergency repairs, or due to failure of telecommunications links and/or equipment. We may remove any content from the Services for any reason, without prior notice. Content removed from the Services may continue to be stored by us, including, without limitation, in order to comply with certain legal obligations, but may not be retrievable without a valid court order or similar legal process.
Links in the Services
Although we may control some of the hyperlinks in the Services, other links within the Services may lead to third-party sites such as online retailers and social media platforms. We include these third-party links solely as a convenience to you. The presence of a link does not imply an endorsement of the linked site, its operator, or its contents, or that we are in any way affiliated with the linked site. The Services do not incorporate any materials appearing in such linked sites by reference. We reserve the right to terminate a link to a third-party web site at any time. The third-party sites are not controlled by us, and may have different terms of use and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
Linking to the Services
You may link to our website homepage, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, but you must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval, or endorsement on our part without our express written consent. The Services may provide certain social media features that enable you to: link from your own or certain third-party websites to certain content on our Services; send communications with certain content, or links to certain content, using the Services; or cause limited portions of content on the Services to be displayed or appear to be displayed on your own or certain third-party websites. You may use these features solely as they are provided by us, and must not otherwise: establish a link from any website that is not owned by you; cause the Services or portions of it to be displayed on, or appear to be displayed by, any other site (for example, scraping, framing, deep linking, or in-line linking); or take any action with respect to the Services that is inconsistent with these Terms. We may disable any social media features and any links at any time without notice in our sole discretion.
Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability
YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND MATERIALS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES AND MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS OR CONTENT CONTAINED ON THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT OUR SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE SERVICES. THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED OR TO MANDATORY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES THAT APPLY TO YOU UNDER THE LAW.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability or rights to the extent such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law. Where you are a consumer, mandatory statutory rights and remedies remain unaffected, including any rights relating to faulty or misdescribed goods or services, digital content or services, cancellation or withdrawal, or other protections that cannot lawfully be waived or limited.
The provisions in these Terms are intended to be only as broad as permitted by applicable law. If any limitation or exclusion of liability or other provision is not enforceable in your jurisdiction, that provision will apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law and will not affect the remainder of these Terms.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses, damages, and costs, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting, whether directly or indirectly, from your unauthorized use of the Services; your User Content; your violation of these Terms; or any unlawful or unauthorized activity associated with your account.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution
We are reachable via the contact information at the end of these Terms to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Services. Except for a legal proceeding seeking solely non-monetary injunctive relief, the parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations for at least 30 days (including, if we request, an in-person or virtual meeting directly between the parties and not just counsel), which shall be a precondition to initiating any legal action on such issue.
Except where applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, as applicable to the Company’s relevant place of establishment. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services shall be subject to the courts of that jurisdiction, except that a consumer may bring proceedings in any court where mandatory applicable law gives that consumer the right to do so. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any mandatory consumer protection, statutory right, or other legal protection that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) are expressly excluded from these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms waives or limits any right that cannot lawfully be waived or limited. In particular, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Where you are a consumer, any mandatory rights and remedies under applicable UK consumer law remain unaffected. No provision of these Terms prevents a consumer from bringing a claim or exercising a statutory right in a court or forum in which that right may lawfully be exercised.
