- INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless 3GStrong and our officers, directors, employees, successors, licensors, service providers, and assignees from and against any claims, actions, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising from or relating to your breach of this Agreement or your access to, use, or misuse of the 3GStrong Content or our Sites. We shall provide notice to you of any such claim, suit, or proceeding and shall assist you, at your expense, in defending any such claim, suit, or proceeding. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter that is subject to indemnification under this section. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense of such matter.
IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY (OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON CLAIMING RIGHTS DERIVED FROM SUCH PARTY'S RIGHTS) FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST TIME, LOST MONEY, LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS OR GOOD WILL, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN WITH RESPECT TO ANY USE OF THE MATERIALS OR OTHERWISE ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF 3G STRONG OR ITS LICENSORS FOR WHATEVER CAUSE EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE MATERIALS DURING THE THEN CURRENT TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. To the extent the foregoing exclusion of liability is not permitted under applicable law, 3G Strong's liability in such case will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
- COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS . We control and operate our Sites from our offices in the United States of America. We do not represent that materials on our Sites are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Persons who choose to access our Sites from other locations do so on their own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. All parties to these terms and conditions waive their respective rights to a trial by jury.
- PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS.
All prices posted on our websites are subject to change without advance notice. The price charged for the Product will be the price posted on our website at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your Order Confirmation. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling. All such taxes and charges will be added to your total amount due. We are not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors and we reserve the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.
We currently use third parties to process payments. Our third-party payment processors ("Payment Processor") accept payments through various credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, as detailed on the applicable payment screen. You must provide current, complete, and accurate payment information in order to complete a purchase. You should immediately contact your card issuer, and promptly notify us and change your password as soon as possible if your payment information is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as if your username or password is lost or stolen or you believe there has been unauthorized disclosure or use of your account.
- NOT FOR RESALE OR EXPORT.
You agree that your subscription is for your own use, not for resale, export, re-export, or transfer. Your purchase is subject to, and you are responsible for, compliance with the export control and economic sanctions laws of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions ("Export Laws"). Your purchase may not be sold, leased, or transferred to restricted countries, restricted end users, or for restricted end uses according to the Export Laws.
- THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.
The Product may contain links or connections to third-party websites, services, or other technology provided by third parties that are not owned or controlled by us ("Third-Party Services"). When you access Third-Party Services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that we are not responsible for such risks. A Third-Party Service may include or be accompanied by a separate service, license, privacy policy, or other agreement ("Third-Party Agreement"), in which case that Third-Party Service is provided solely under the terms of that separate Third-Party Agreement. The applicable supplier of any Third-Party Service is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce such terms directly against you with respect to such Third-Party Services. By using Third-Party Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any such Third-Party Service. If there is a dispute between users, or between users and any third party in relation to a Third-Party Service, we are under no obligation to become involved.
- PRODUCT SUBSCRIPTIONS AND AUTO-RENEWALS.
Your subscription is subject to auto-renewal. This means that your subscription will automatically renew for a given term as communicated to you in the manner described below without any further action taken by you. Auto-renewal ensures continued access to the Sites until you cancel your subscription, with no need to keep track of renewal dates. Subscription periods shall commence upon the date of your subscription. We will automatically renew your subscription on the applicable renewal dates presented to you on the Product checkout page using the payment method you used to pay for the initial subscription, until you cancel your subscription. You must cancel your subscription 30 days before it automatically renews at the end of the then-current subscription period (or free trial if applicable) in order to avoid renewal charges. 3GStrong will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you 45 days prior to the notice date, but the responsibility to terminate prior to the autorenewal date is yours. Your access is conditioned upon timely payment of the applicable subscription fee. You will not have access to the relevant subscription Product beyond your then-current paid period if your subscription is cancelled, allowed to lapse, or terminated for non-payment.
You may cancel your subscription by following the directions for cancellation in your Order Confirmation or by signing into your account, visiting your account information page, and following the instructions for cancellation or opt out for auto-renewal, or by contacting info@3GStrong. You may cancel a subscription at any time, but the cancellation will only become effective at the end of your current billing period (or free trial if applicable). If you cancel your subscription in the middle of a billing cycle, you will not receive a refund of any prepaid subscription fees. Cancellation will only take effect at the end of your current billing period (or free trial if applicable) and we will allow you to access the Sites until your most recently paid-up subscription period ends.
- DISPUTES, BINDING ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
GOVERNING LAW. These Consumer Purchase Terms and the relationship between you and 3G Strong will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
ARBITRATION. You and 3GStrong agree to submit to the personal and exclusive arbitration of any disputes relating to your use of the Sites under the rules of the American Arbitration Association Rules for Arbitration of Consumer-Related Disputes, except with respect to disputes arising out of (i) violations of our intellectual property rights or (ii) individual claims made in small claims court. Any such arbitration will be conducted in Collin County in the State of Texas. You covenant not to sue 3G Strong in any other forum. Discovery and rights to appeal in arbitration are generally more limited than in a lawsuit, and other rights that you and we would have in court may not be available in arbitration.
- FORCE MAJEURE.
We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in our performance (including a delay in access to the Sites) under this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, pandemic, quarantines, lockdowns, lockouts, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to our workforce), restraints or delays affecting carriers, inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.
- MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and commitments with respect thereto. There are no other oral or written understandings, terms or conditions with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and neither party has relied upon any representation, express or implied, not contained in this Agreement. Neither party will be liable to the other party for any consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or special damages arising from or relating to this Agreement. The rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and not alternative. No waiver of any rights is to be charged against any party unless such waiver is in writing signed by an authorized representative of the party so charged. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and, if legally permitted, such offending provision will be replaced with an enforceable provision that as nearly as possible effects the parties' intent. User may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of 3GStrong, which consent 3GStrong may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. Any purported or attempted assignment or other transfer or delegation in violation of this Section shall be null and void.
