All provisions of Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without
limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

## 16. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of United States, which governing law applies to
agreement without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any
provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will
remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service and supersede and replace
any prior agreements we might have had between us regarding Service.

## 17. Changes To Service

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend our Service, and any service or material we provide via Service, in our sole
discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of Service is unavailable at any time
or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of Service, or the entire Service, to users,
including registered users.

## 18. Amendments To Terms

We may amend Terms at any time by posting the amended terms on this site. It is your responsibility to review these
Terms periodically.

Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the
changes. You are expected to check this page frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

By continuing to access or use our Service after any revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised
terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you are no longer authorized to use Service.

## 19. Waiver And Severability

No waiver by Company of any term or condition set forth in Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such
term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Company to assert a right or provision
under Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the
remaining provisions of Terms will continue in full force and effect.

## 20. Acknowledgement

BY USING SERVICE OR OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED BY US, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND AGREE
TO BE BOUND BY THEM.
