To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless BRANDKIND, its officers, directors, employees, and our partners and their officers, employees, directors and agents from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any Content or User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any laws or the rights of a third party (“Claims”). This release is intended to be a general and complete release of all Claims and all released persons may plead the existence of this release as a full and complete defense to any Claim.

 

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ENTER INTO THIS RELEASE FREELY, KNOWINGLY, AND VOLUNTARILY, AND THAT YOU INTEND IT TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

15. Modification of Terms

BRANDKIND reserves the right to make changes to our Services, policies, and these Terms of Services at any time.

 

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Services and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and BRANDKIND shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in the state of California for any matter or dispute arising in relation to these Terms. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

 

17. Severability and Non-Waiver

If any provision of these Terms of Services deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Services and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

 

18. General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us and govern your use of our Services. The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent, but we may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. Under no circumstances shall we be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control.
