You agree to release, indemnify, and protect us, along with our affiliates and their officers, employees, directors, and agents (together referred to as ‘Indemnitees’), from any losses, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, as well as any claims or actions of any kind and any resulting injuries (including death) that may arise from or be connected to your use of the Service, any content provided by members, your connection to the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your infringement of someone else’s rights.

6) DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICE IS OFFERED ON AN ‘AS IS’ AND ‘AS AVAILABLE’ BASIS. WE, WITH THIS, DISCLAIM ALL FORMS OF WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. THIS INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT (I) THE SERVICE WILL FULFILL YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (II) THE SERVICE WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, BE TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (III) THE OUTCOMES DERIVED FROM USING THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR (IV) THE QUALITY OF ANY SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIALS THAT YOU PURCHASE OR ACCESS THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

YOU EXPLICITLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS. THIS INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE LOSS OF GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIMS ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND ARE RELATED TO (I) YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, (II) THE EXPENSES INCURRED IN OBTAINING SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES DUE TO ANY PRODUCTS, DATA, INFORMATION, OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR RECEIVED, OR TRANSACTIONS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE, (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA OR TRANSMISSIONS, (IV) THE ACTIONS OR STATEMENTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY USING THE SERVICE, (V) ANY OTHER ISSUES CONNECTED TO THE SERVICE.

CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR DISCLAIMER OF SPECIFIC WARRANTIES NOR ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. AS A RESULT, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS MENTIONED ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU OR MAY BE UNENFORCEABLE IN YOUR CASE, AND THEY ARE INTENDED TO BE AS COMPREHENSIVE AS THE LAW PERMITS IN THE RELEVANT STATE. IF ANY PART OF THESE PROVISIONS IS DEEMED INVALID BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE INVALIDITY OF THAT SECTION WILL NOT IMPACT THE VALIDITY OF THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE RELEVANT SECTIONS. SHOULD YOU FIND YOURSELF DISSATISFIED WITH ANY ASPECT OF THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO STOP USING THE SERVICE.

8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION – PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

a) Agreement To Arbitrate:

This ‘Dispute Resolution through Binding Arbitration’ section will be called the ‘Arbitration Agreement’ within these Terms. By agreeing to these Terms, you consent that any disputes or claims that may arise between you and us—whether related to these Terms (including any alleged violations), the Services we provide, advertising, or any other aspects of our relationship—will be exclusively resolved through final and binding arbitration, rather than through court proceedings, as outlined in this Arbitration Agreement. However, you retain the right to pursue individual claims in small claims court, provided they meet the court’s criteria. Additionally, this Arbitration Agreement does not prevent you from raising issues with federal, state, or local agencies, which may seek relief on your behalf if law permits. By accepting these Terms, both you and we are relinquishing the right to a jury trial or participation in a class-action lawsuit. A neutral arbitrator will adjudicate your claims rather than a judge or jury. The United States Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

b) Confidentiality:

Every element of the arbitration process, along with any rulings, decisions, or awards made by the arbitrator, will be kept completely confidential to protect the interests of all parties involved.

c) Severability:

If a court or arbitrator determines that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (excluding subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to substitute the invalid term with a valid and enforceable one that closely aligns with the original intent of the term. As modified, this Arbitration Agreement will remain in effect.

Conversely, suppose a court or arbitrator finds any provisions within subsection (b) titled ‘Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief’ invalid or unenforceable. In that case, this Arbitration Agreement will be rendered null and void unless such invalidity or unenforceability pertains strictly to claims for public injunctive relief. All other Terms of Service will remain in force.

d) Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement:

Despite any conflicting terms in this Terms of Service, we acknowledge that if there are any modifications to this Arbitration Agreement (excluding changes to the Notice Address) while you remain a Member of the Services, you can reject those changes. To do so, you must send us a written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of changing the Notice Address listed above. Should you reject any future alterations, you agree to resolve any disputes between us according to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement as they were when you first accepted them (or when you accepted any later modifications to these Terms of Service).

9) TERMINATION

  1. You acknowledge that we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account—or any portion thereof—at our discretion. This includes accessing the Service and removing any associated content for any reason we see fit. This may occur for reasons such as infrequent usage or if we determine that your conduct is inconsistent with the terms and spirit of these Terms. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal behavior may be reported to relevant law enforcement agencies as grounds for termination of your access to the Service.
  1. We may also choose to cease offering the Service, in whole or in part, at any time without prior notice. You understand that if your access to the Service is terminated under any clause of these Terms, it may occur without warning. In this event, we may promptly deactivate or delete your account and all associated information and files, preventing further access.
  1. You agree that we will not be held responsible for any consequences arising from the termination of your access to the Service or any resulting financial losses. Regarding any modifications to this Agreement (other than updates to the Notice Address), as long as you remain a Member of the Services, you have the option to reject such changes by submitting written notice to us within thirty (30) days of the change to the Notice Address specified above. Suppose you choose to reject any future amendments. In that case, you agree that any disputes between us will be resolved through arbitration under the terms outlined in this Arbitration Agreement, starting from the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any revisions made after that).

10) MEMBER DISPUTES

You acknowledge that you are responsible for interacting with other members while using the Service. We will not be liable for any issues arising and retain the right, though we are under no obligation, to engage in any disputes between you and other members of the Service.

11) GENERAL

  1. These Terms represent the complete agreement between you and Free Universal Network LLC, regulating your use of the Service and replacing any previous agreements between you and us regarding the Service. Additionally, you may encounter extra terms and conditions when using affiliate or third-party services, content, or software. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the United States, excluding its conflict of law provisions. In the event of any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as mentioned previously, you and we consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of Wyoming, United States. Should we fail to assert or enforce any right or provision outlined in these Terms, this will not be interpreted as waiving that right or provision.
  2. Should any clause of these Terms be deemed invalid by a court with appropriate authority, the parties involved acknowledge that the court will strive to uphold the parties’ original intent as expressed in that clause. Additionally, all other provisions of these Terms will remain fully operational. You also consent that, despite any conflicting laws or statutes, any claims or legal actions related to your use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be initiated within one (1) year from the date the claim or action arose, or they will be permanently barred.
  3. A printed copy of this agreement and any notifications sent electronically will be accepted as valid in judicial or administrative proceedings related to this agreement, just like any other business documents and records originally created and preserved in printed format. You are not allowed to assign these Terms without our prior written approval. However, we reserve the right to assign, sublicense, or transfer any or all of our rights and obligations under these Terms without any limitations. The titles of the sections within these Terms are solely for your convenience and do not carry any legal or contractual significance. You may receive notifications via SMS, email, or traditional mail. Additionally, the Service may inform you of changes to these Terms or other important information by displaying prominent notices or links to notices on the Service.
