Warranty Disclaimers

We work hard to make the Service great, but the services are provided as is, without warranties.

3.1 Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AIMVC makes no warranties, either express or implied, about the Service. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." AIMVC also disclaims any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from AIMVC, shall create any warranty. AIMVC makes no warranty or representation that the Service will:

  • be timely, uninterrupted or error-free;
  • meet your requirements or expectations; or
  • be free from viruses or other harmful components.

3.2 Exceptions

Under certain circumstances, some jurisdictions don't permit the disclaimers in Section 4.1, so they may not apply to you. However, the disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. You may have other statutory rights and nothing in this Agreement affects your statutory rights or rights under mandatory laws. The duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Limitation of Liability

If something bad happens as a result of your using the Service, our liability is capped.

  3. your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or
  4. any claim that your content caused damage to a third party.

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive this Agreement and your use of the Service.

6. Additional Terms

This section includes some additional important terms. For instance, this Agreement is the whole agreement between us regarding your use of the Service. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York. If we ever change it in a way that meaningfully reduces your rights, we'll give you notice and an opportunity to cancel.

6.1 Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and AIMVC regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes and replaces any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions applicable to the subject matter of this Agreement. You agree that you have not relied upon, and have no remedies in respect of, any term, condition, statement, warranty or representation except those expressly set out in this Agreement.

6.2 Modifications

We may modify this Agreement from time to time, and will post the most current version on our site. If a modification meaningfully reduces your rights, we'll notify you (by, for example, sending you an email or displaying a prominent notice within the Service). The notice may designate a reasonable period after which the new terms will take effect. We may change this Agreement, for example:

  1. to reflect changes to our Service or how we do business - for example, when we add new features or remove old ones,
  2. for legal, regulatory, or security reasons, or
  3. to prevent abuse or harm.

Modifications will not apply retroactively. By continuing to use or access the Services after any modifications come into effect, you agree to be bound by the modified Agreement. If you disagree with our changes, then you must stop using the Service.

6.3 Events Beyond Our Control

We are not in breach of this Agreement or liable to you if there is any total or partial failure of performance of the Service resulting from any act, circumstance, event or matter beyond our reasonable control. This may include where such results from any act of God, fire, act of government or state or regulation, war, civil commotion, terrorism, pandemic, insurrection, inability to communicate with third parties for whatever reason, failure of any computer dealing or necessary system, failure or delay in transmission of communications, failure of any internet service provider, strike, industrial action or lock-out or any other reason beyond our reasonable control.

6.4 Governing Law

All claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service will be governed by New York law, except New York's conflict of laws rules, and will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of New York County, New York, USA. You and AIMVC consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

6.5 Limitation on Legal Action

YOU AND AIMVC AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
