Subscriptions bill in advance; fees are non-refundable except where required by law; cancellation stops future charges at period end.

10. Third-Party Services & Links

12. Termination; Data Deletion & Retention

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access and remove content for violations, legal risk, or security concerns. We may delete or anonymize data; we may retain data where required by law, to protect rights/users, for fraud prevention, recordkeeping, or other legitimate business needs. Survival: rights and obligations that by nature should survive (including IP, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law/Disputes) continue after termination.

13. Disclaimers (No Warranty)

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation or accuracy.

As set out in the Membership & Use Agreement: (i) informal resolution first (Notice of Dispute); (ii) binding AAA arbitration on an individual basis; (iii) class-action waiver; (iv) non-waivable rights preserved; (v) batched arbitration permitted for efficiency where applicable. Where prohibited (e.g., EEA/UK/CH consumers), arbitration does not apply.

17. Miscellaneous

These Terms operate together with—and incorporate by reference—the Membership & Use Agreement, the Marketplace Terms, and the Privacy Policy. If a conflict arises, a more specific signed agreement controls; otherwise, the Membership & Use Agreement controls on commercial/dispute terms and these Terms control on platform rules. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains effective. We may assign; you may not assign without consent (subject to mandatory local rights). No waiver is implied by delay or omission.
