Terms of Service

Scope

These terms, and the accompanying privacy policy at liquid.trade/privacy, which is incorporated into and a part of these terms, govern the use of the Liquid website at liquid.trade and the associated tools and services.

Collectively, the website and the associated tools and services are referred to as the “Services” in these terms. The operator may offer other products and services. The Services are limited to software, user-interface, data-display, and transaction-preparation tools that allow users to view information, configure transaction parameters, and, where supported, transmit user-authorized instructions to unaffiliated third-party venues, protocols, smart contracts, wallets, or other service providers. We do not operate any exchange, designated contract market, swap execution facility, broker-dealer, introducing broker, futures commission merchant, clearing organization, sportsbook, gaming platform, or prediction-market venue.

The Services do not include outside websites or platforms which may be linked or interconnected to the Services. Such outside platforms may have their own terms of service, which control for all transactions on such platforms. These outside platforms may include, but are not limited to:

• The Hyperliquid interface, owned by HyperLiquid Corp., at app.hyperliquid.xyz

The operator is not responsible for any transactions on other platforms and disclaims all liability for such transactions.

These terms include important provisions governing your use of the Services. These provisions affect such matters as your right to use the Services, actions you are prohibited from taking with respect to the Services, disclaimers regarding liability, and your waiver of the right to bring a suit in a court of law and to a jury trial, and the requirement that any dispute between you and the operator be resolved by binding individual arbitration. Before using the Services, make sure that you read and understand all of these terms and the accompanying privacy policy at liquid.trade/privacy.

Where the Services connect to or display information from a third-party venue, protocol, exchange, prediction market, registered entity, liquidity source, or other service provider, you understand that any account, membership, eligibility determination, KYC review, order acceptance, trade execution, clearing, custody, settlement, market surveillance, event-contract resolution, or dispute process is provided by that third party and governed by that third party’s rules and agreements. You may be required to establish and maintain a direct relationship with the relevant third party. The operator does not guarantee that any third party will accept, route, execute, clear, settle, resolve, or cancel any transaction.

LiquidX AI, Inc. a Delaware C Corporation, operates the Services. It and its affiliates are referred to in this document as the “operator,” “we,” or “us.”

Important Terms

These terms include a number of especially important provisions that affect your rights and responsibilities, such as the disclaimers in Disclaimers , limits on the operator’s legal liability to you in Limits on Liability , your agreement to reimburse the operator for problems caused by your misuse of the Services in Your Responsibility , and an agreement about how to resolve disputes in Disputes .

Using the Services may require that you pay a fee to other users of the Services (such as merchants) or to the operator. Using the Services may also require that you pay a fee to parties other than users or the operator, such as gas charges on the blockchain to perform a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that the operator has no control over any such transactions, the method of payment of such transactions or any actual payments of transactions. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of the applicable cryptocurrency tokens stored at your protocol-compatible wallet address to complete any transaction on the blockchain or Services before initiating such transaction.

Your Permission to Use the Services

Subject to these terms, the operator gives you permission to use the Services. You can’t transfer your permission to anyone else. Others need to agree to these terms for themselves to use the Services.

Conditions for Use of the Services

Your permission to use the Services is subject to the following conditions:

• You must be at least eighteen years old.

• You are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

• You may no longer use the Services if the operator tells you that you may not.

• You must follow Acceptable Use and Content Standards .

• You are not a resident, national, or agent of the Crimea region, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or any other country to which the United States, the United Kingdom, or the European Union embargoes goods or imposes similar sanctions.

The Services

The App is a visual representation of the underlying smart contracts for the Hyperliquid protocol (the “Protocol”) which comprises open-source software deployed in a permissionless manner by the operator or other parties. The App provides an interface which allows users to view and administer their interactions with the Protocol.

The operator has deployed the smart contracts underlying the Protocol on the relevant blockchain network for users to use in accordance with these terms. Users may directly call the functions of the smart contracts directly, or access them via the user interface provided by the App.

By accessing the Protocol via the App, users would be able to access a digital wallet service allowing users to self-administer their digital assets held, as well as trade digital asset pairs and perpetual contracts directly in a peer-to-peer manner. Users will be able to act as market makers for these transactions by staking/pooling their digital assets into decentralized liquidity pools to provide the necessary liquidity for perpetual transactions by other users. These digital assets may comprise various fungible cryptocurrencies in the market.

All transactions on the Protocol operate in a peer-to-peer manner. Traders on the Protocol enter into a direct contractual relationship with other users and/or supported third party protocols via the autonomous smart contracts underlying the Protocol, and there is no further control by or interaction with the operator. The operator is not a party to this peer-to-peer direct contractual relationship and is not liable for performance of any obligations thereunder. The operator does not bear any financial or commercial risk or provide any warranties or assurances in connection with the same.

The App merely provides a visual user interface allowing users to access liquidity provided by liquidity providers but does not act as an agent for any of the users. As such, the operator’s involvement in any order submission is limited to passively providing software (the App) which enables users to transmit their orders directly to third parties. The operator does not have any affirmative involvement with any particular orders. At no point in time does the operator generate express “buy” or “sell” signals, or exercise discretion with respect to the routing or execution of orders.

Although the App is intended to display accurate and timely information regarding possible swaps and transactions, the App or relevant tools/information may not always be entirely accurate, complete or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. The pricing information data provided through the App does not represent an offer, a solicitation of an offer, or any advice regarding, or recommendation to enter into, a transaction with the operator or the App. Accordingly, users should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the App or tools/information tools are at the sole responsibility of each user. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions in these Terms, any photographs, graphic illustrations, videos, models, charts, designs, or examples on the App are strictly for information purposes only and have no contractual value nor do they form the basis of any contract with the operator.

Neither the operator nor the App provides any digital asset exchange or portfolio/fund management services in connection with any transaction. If you choose to engage in transactions on the Protocol, then such decisions and transactions and any consequences flowing therefrom are your sole responsibility. In no event shall the operator, its affiliates or their respective directors or employees be responsible or liable to you or anyone else, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss arising from or relating to any interaction or continued interaction with the Protocol, or reliance on any information provided on the App (including, without limitation, directly or indirectly resulting from errors in, omissions of or alterations to any such information).

The App solely functions as a visual user interface. None of the operator, the smart contracts underlying the Protocol, or the App are a digital asset exchange, broker, dealer, fund manager, financial institution, exchange, custodian, robo-advisor, intermediary, or creditor. The operator is not a counterparty to any transaction facilitated by the smart contracts underlying the Protocol, the App or for any user of the App. Neither the smart contracts or the App provides financial advisory, legal, regulatory, or tax services directly, indirectly, implicitly, or in any other manner, and you should not consider any content contained in these terms or otherwise posted on the App to be a substitute for professional financial, legal, regulatory, tax or other advice. The operator does not support or endorse any liquidity pool created by any user of the Protocol or any third-party protocol, and each such creator is an independent agent with no employment or other contractual relationship with the operator.

The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the App by any user of for any reason whatsoever (including without limitation for a breach of these Terms). You agree that the Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any suspension or termination of any user.

Access to the smart contracts underlying the Protocol or the App may become degraded or unavailable during times of significant volatility or volume. This could result in the inability to interact with third-party services for periods of time and may also lead to support response time delays. The Company cannot guarantee that the smart contracts underlying the Protocol or the App will be available without interruption and neither do we guarantee that requests to interact with third-party services will be successful.

The Services may display market data, indicative prices, available venues, potential execution routes, fees, estimated network costs, or other transaction-related information. Any filtering, sorting, default display, default venue, or default transaction parameter made available through the Services is based on objective and pre-disclosed factors, which may include availability, compatibility, asset type, liquidity, price, network costs, latency, security, transparency, or other technical or operational criteria. As such, we do not independently determine any trading venues. The Services do not represent that any displayed route, venue, price, or transaction parameter is the “best,” “most reliable,” “most suitable,” or otherwise recommended option. You remain solely responsible for reviewing, modifying, approving, and submitting all transaction parameters.

We may market, describe, or promote the availability and functionality of the Services, including integrations with third-party venues, protocols, assets, markets, or products. Such communications are not solicitations, recommendations, investment advice, trading advice, or endorsements of any specific transaction, position, asset, contract, venue, market, strategy, or outcome.

Non-Custodial

The App and Protocol are non-custodial in nature. As such, neither the App nor Protocol holds or controls your digital assets. Any digital assets which you may acquire through the usage of the App or the Protocol will be held and administered solely by you; you remain in full control of your digital assets, which are not held or controlled in any way by the operator. We neither own nor control the relevant blockchain network on which digital assets are recorded, or any other third-party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the App or the Protocol. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.

We will not create any hosted wallet for you or otherwise custody digital assets on your behalf. In particular, your private keys to your digital wallet/address will be encrypted and stored on your mobile device, and you are solely responsible for safekeeping them. Solely for your convenience , you may be able to access these keys to control your digital assets and/or approve transactions on the App via your mobile device's biometric login functionality. We do not represent or warrant that the biometric login functionality will be accessible at all times, or function with all of the services that we may offer from time to time.

Neither the Company, the App, nor the Protocol provides any digital asset exchange or portfolio/fund management services. If you choose to engage in transactions with other users via the App or the Protocol, then such decisions and transactions and any consequences are your sole responsibility.

Your content

• The operator is not obligated to review or edit any user-submitted content on the Services.

• Nothing in these terms gives the operator any ownership rights in content or intellectual property that you share with the Services, such as your account information and content you submit to the Services. Nothing in these terms gives you any ownership rights in the operator’s content or intellectual property, either. Unless otherwise noted, the operator owns the intellectual property of the Services and all content it has posted.

• Between you and the operator, you remain solely responsible for content you submit to the Services. You agree not to wrongly imply that content you submit to the Services is from, sponsored by, or approved by the operator. These terms do not obligate the operator to store, maintain, or provide copies of content you submit.

• Content you submit to the Services belongs to you, and you decide how to license it to others. But at a minimum, you license the operator to provide content that you submit to the Services to other users of the Services. That special license allows the operator to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the Services.

• When content you submit is removed from the Services, whether by you or by the operator, the operator’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from the operator’s backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you give for your content may continue after your content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or the operator itself, the right to share your content through the Services again.

• Others who receive content you submit to the Services may violate the terms on which you license your content. You agree that the operator will not be liable to you for those violations or their consequences.

• The operator reserves the right to terminate, in its sole discretion, the accounts of any users who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property of others.

Our Content

• Unless otherwise stated, the operator and/or its licensors own the intellectual property rights for all material in the Services. Certain images, videos, names, logos, trademarks, or brand assets appearing on the Services may belong to third parties, in which case the operator is using such materials as a fair and permissible use and/or with the consent of the copyright holder. Their display is for identification, informational, or compatibility purposes only and does not imply co-branding, sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, affiliation, or any other relationship with the operator unless expressly stated. All intellectual property rights are reserved.

• You may view content in the Services for your own personal use subject to restrictions set in these terms and conditions.

• You may not republish, sell, rent, sub-license, reproduce, duplicate, or copy content from the Services, except with regard to your own content, or content to which you hold a suitably permissive license.

• You may not redistribute content from the services unless such content is specifically designated for redistribution.

• Nothing in these terms confers any license to any intellectual property rights, except as explicitly stated.

Your Responsibility (Indemnification)

You agree to reimburse the operator for all the costs of legal claims by others related to your breach of these terms, or breach of these terms by others using your account, or arising out of your use of the Services. Both you and the operator agree to notify the other side of any legal claims you might have to reimburse the operator for as soon as possible. If the operator fails to notify you of a legal claim promptly, you won’t have to reimburse the operator for costs that you could have defended against or lessened with prompt notice. You agree to allow the operator to take over investigation, defense, and settlement of legal claims you would have to reimburse the operator for, and to cooperate with those efforts. The operator agrees not to enter any settlement that admits you were at fault or requires you to do anything without your permission.

Disclaimers

• You accept all risk of using the Services and their content. As far as the law allows, the operator provides the Services and its content “as is,” without any warranty whatsoever. The operator expressly disclaims, and you expressly waive, any representations, conditions or warranties of any kind, including, without limitation, the implied or legal warranties and conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, quality or fitness for a particular purpose, title, security, availability, reliability, accuracy, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement of third-party rights.

• You confirm that you accept all risk associated your personal financial, cryptocurrency, and other crypto asset holdings, staking, and transfers. You agree and acknowledge that the operator is not responsible or liable for any loss, harm, or damage, of any kind, related to or arising from your use of the Services, or arising from disclosure of your personal wallet “key,” even if such loss may be attributed to an error or “bug” in the Services .

• You accept all risks involving: (a) failures or inaccuracies in cross-chain bridges, oracles, or liquidity pools; (b) code vulnerabilities, including potential hacks or exploits; (c) significant slippage or other market risks arising from perpetual futures trading; (d) the risks of trading with leverage, which may lead to immediate and significant losses, including the liquidation of your positions; and (e) potential regulatory or legal issues affecting blockchain transactions or their enforceability.

• These terms do not impose any fiduciary duties on the Company. The Company owes no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party based on your use of the Services. To the extent that any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, you irrevocably waive such duties and liabilities.

• We do not warrant that the Services will be compatible with your mobile device or carrier. Your use of the Services may be subject to the terms of your agreements with your mobile device manufacturer or your carrier.

• At any time, your access to your tokens or other cryptocurrency assets may be suspended or terminated or there may be a delay in your access or use which may result in your tokens or other cryptocurrency assets diminishing in value or you being unable to complete a smart contract.

• You accept all risks associated with the use of the Services to conduct cryptocurrency transactions, including, but not limited to, in connection with the failure of hardware, software, internet connections, and failures related to any supported network.

• The Services may be suspended or terminated for any or no reason, which may limit your access to your cryptocurrency assets.

• The website may hyperlink to and integrate websites and services run by others. The operator does not make any warranty about services run by others, or content they may provide. Use of services run by others may be governed by other terms between you and the one running service.

• You agree that you understand the inherent risks associated with cryptographic systems, including hacking risks and future technological development.

• You agree that you have an understanding of the usage and intricacies of native cryptographic tokens. You acknowledge and understand that with regard to any cryptographic tokens “stored” in a wallet to which you have custody, you alone are responsible for securing your private key(s). We do not have access to your private key(s). Losing control of your private key(s) will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to blockchain resources and your blockchain wallet.

• You agree that with regard to any cryptographic tokens or other assets stored on resources hosted by the operator, the operator is not liable to you for any loss, failure, or unavailability of any kind, of such tokens or assets, for any reason.

• Regardless of anything to the contrary in these terms, nothing in these terms is a waiver, and we will not assert there has been a waiver, that would not be permissible under Section 14 of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 29(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other applicable provision of federal and state securities laws.

• The operator and its affiliates do not provide investment advice or a recommendation of securities or investments. You should always obtain independent investment and tax advice from your professional advisers before making any investment decisions.

• The information and services provided on the Services are not provided to, and may not be used by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction where the provision or use thereof would be contrary to applicable laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority or where the operator is not authorized to provide such information or services. Some products and services described on the Services may not be available in all jurisdictions or to all clients.

• You acknowledge that you are not relying on the operator or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees in making an investment decision. Always consider seeking the advice of a qualified professional before making decisions regarding your business and/or investments. The operator does not endorse any investments and shall not be responsible in any way for any transactions you enter into with other users. You agree that the operator and its affiliates, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees will not be liable for any loss or damages of any sort incurred as a result of any interactions between you and other users.

• It is your responsibility to determine what, if any taxes may apply to the transactions you complete under the Services and it is your responsibility to report and remit the appropriate tax to the relevant taxing authorities. You agree that the operator is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to the exchanges made under the Services.

• Digital assets are not legal tender, are not backed by the government, and are not subject to any "Deposit Insurance Scheme" or protections under any banking or securities laws. The operator is not a bank and does not offer any lending services, fiduciary services, or security broking services.

• The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the value of your digital assets interacting with the Protocol, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot guarantee that any users interacting with the Services, the App, the Protocol and/or underlying smart contracts will not lose money.

• Neither the Services, the App, the Protocol and underlying smart contracts hold in custody, store, send, or receive any of your digital assets. This is because your digital assets exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the relevant blockchain network. Any transfer of digital assets occurs within the relevant blockchain network, and not on the App, the Protocol or underlying smart contracts.

• All smart contracts may contain security vulnerabilities, errors, failures, bugs or economic loopholes which may be exploited by third parties, causing you to suffer losses in connection with any digital assets interacting with the Protocol and/or underlying smart contracts via the App. Interaction with these smart contracts are entirely at your own responsibility and liability, and the operator is not a party to the smart contracts.

• Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Services, the App, the Protocol and underlying smart contracts in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the relevant blockchain network comprises open-source software, there is the risk that the blockchain software underlying the Protocol's smart contracts may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses that may negatively affect the Services or the Protocol's smart contracts, or result in the loss of the user’s digital assets, or the loss of the user’s ability to access or control their digital assets. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy, and users are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.

• The regulatory status of digital assets, and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulation with respect to the Services, the App, the Protocol and underlying smart contracts. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including the Services, the App, the Protocol and underlying smart contracts. Regulatory actions could negatively impact the operator in various ways, and thus the Services may not be available in certain areas.

• The Services, the Protocol and underlying smart contracts may rely on or use a variety of external third party services or software, including without limitation decentralized cloud storage services, analytics tools, oracles, hence therefore the Services may be adversely affected by any number of risks related to these third party services/software, which may be compromised in the event of security vulnerabilities, cyberattacks, malicious activity, or technical interruptions.

• A conflict of interest may arise when the interest of the operator competes or may appear to compete with your interests under these terms. You acknowledge and confirm that: (a) the operator may participate in certain transactions in an individual capacity; (b) the operator may execute at the same time its own orders which may be opposite that of a user; (c) the operator may establish business, including without limitation, trading relationships with other ecosystem players, financial institutions, digital asset owners, digital asset exchanges, issuers of financial instruments and we may have a financial interest in such instruments; (d) the operator may seek to act as a market maker and in this context there may be inherent conflicts of interest; and (e) the operator may compensate or share its revenues from activities in connection with the App, the Protocol and underlying smart contracts with various users, the operator’s affiliates, partners or other similar parties.

• The App may use Stripe or another third-party service provider to facilitate onramp of funds to your wallet. You agree that the operator is not responsible for any error or loss resulting from your use of any fiat onramp functionality in the Services. By using such onramp functionality, you agree to the terms of Stripe or other respective service provider as provided above in the section “Third Party Service Providers.”

• You may not use the Services to trade, attempt to trade, or facilitate trading while in possession of material nonpublic, confidential, classified, misappropriated, or otherwise improperly obtained information relating to the subject of any market or event. You may not trade in a market where you directly or indirectly control, influence, determine, verify, report, or materially affect the outcome or resolution of the underlying event, except where expressly permitted by applicable law and the relevant market’s rules.

• We may receive fees, referral fees, revenue shares, rebates, incentives, grants, or other compensation from users, affiliates, third-party venues, protocols, liquidity sources, service providers, or other persons. The existence, calculation, and structure of material fees or compensation arrangements will be disclosed where required or where material to your use of the Services. Such arrangements may create actual or potential conflicts of interest, including incentives relating to displayed integrations, default settings, available routes, market data, or third-party services.

• As far as the law allows, neither you nor the operator will not be liable to the other for any: (1) financial losses; (2) loss of use, data, business or profits; or (3) indirect, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or any other damages arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms of Service.

• Both you and the operator acknowledge that the limitations of liability in this section are material provisions of these Terms of Service, and that absent those limitations of liability, one or both of the parties would have declined to enter into the Terms of Service on the economic and other terms stated in it.

• To the extent not expressly prohibited by law, both you and the operator knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally, permanently, and irrevocably:

• AGREE that the rights and obligations of both you and the operator that arise out of or relate to the Services, or any transaction or relationship resulting from the Services or these Terms of Service, are to be defined solely under the law of contract in accordance with the express provisions of these Terms of Service; and

• WAIVE any such obligations allegedly owed by you or the operator that are not expressly stated in these Terms of Service, whether those obligations are alleged to arise in (for example) quasi-contract; quantum meruit; unjust enrichment; promissory estoppel; tort; strict liability; by law (including for example any constitution, statute, or regulation); or otherwise.

• You and the operator specifically agree that each limitation of liability in this section is to apply:

• to both you and the operator, and to the affiliates, agents, and associated individuals of both you and the operator;

• to all claims for damages or other monetary relief, whether alleged to arise in contract, tort (including for example negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct), or otherwise;

• regardless whether the damages are alleged to arise in contract, negligence, gross negligence, other tort, willful misconduct, or otherwise;

• even if the allegedly-liable party was advised, knew, or had reason to know of the possibility of excluded damages and/or of damages in excess of the relevant damages cap, if any; and

• even if one or more limited remedies fail of their respective essential purposes.

• Except as expressly stated otherwise in the Agreement: The cumulative total liability of both you and the operator, for any and all breaches of these Terms of Service, is not to exceed one thousand US Dollars ($1,000.00 USD) OR the amount paid by you to the operator as fees for the use of the Services, whichever is smaller.

• Both you and the operator expressly agree not to seek damages in excess of any applicable limitation of liability stated in these Terms of Service.

• Both you and the operator acknowledge that some jurisdictions might not permit limitation or exclusion of remedies under some circumstances, in which case some or all of the limitations of liability stated in this section might not apply; this sentence, though, is not to be taken as a concession that any particular limitation or exclusion should not apply.

Termination

• Either you or the operator may end this agreement at any time. When this agreement ends, your permission to use the Services also ends.

• If you violate any provision of this agreement for any reason, this agreement will automatically terminate and you must cease and desist from any further use of the Services.

• Any provisions of this agreement that by their nature should survive the termination of this agreement will survive the termination of this agreement.

Disputes

• The law of Delaware, will govern these terms and all legal proceedings related to these terms or your use of the Services.

• We both agree that all disputes related to the Services under these terms, including whether such disputes are arbitrable, will be heard by arbitration. The arbitration will be in English, heard by one arbitrator, and conducted by JAMS.

• The arbitration will be conducted under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, except as modified by these terms. The JAMS rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/.

• The arbitrator’s judgment will be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

• The seat of the arbitration will be Delaware, but the arbitration will be conducted remotely to the extent permitted by the arbitration rules in effect.

• We both agree to maintain the confidential nature of any arbitration proceeding and any award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct any arbitration hearing.

• As a limited exception to the requirement for arbitration, both sides retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

• If, for any reason, a dispute is heard in a court of law, both sides agree to bring any proceedings related to this agreement (other than the enforcement of a judgment) only in courts of competent jurisdiction in Delaware.

• Neither you nor the operator will object to jurisdiction, forum, or venue in those courts.

• Both sides waive their rights to trial by jury, and agree to bring any legal claims related to this agreement as individuals, not as part of a class action or other representative proceeding.

General Terms

• If a section of these terms is unenforceable as written, but could be changed to make it enforceable, that section should be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. Otherwise, that section should be removed, and the others should be enforced as written.

• You may not assign this agreement. The operator may assign this agreement to any affiliate of the operator, any other company that obtains control of the operator, or any other company that buys assets of the operator related to the Services. Any attempt to assign against these terms has no legal effect.

• Neither the exercise of any right under this agreement, nor waiver of any breach of this agreement, waives any other breach of this agreement.

• These terms, plus the terms on any Services incorporating them by reference, are all the terms of agreement between you and the operator about use of the Services. This agreement entirely replaces any other agreements about your use of the Services, written or not.
