THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. LEGIT LEADER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND THOSE ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, BIASES, OR INACCURACIES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEGIT LEADER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES.
IN NO EVENT WILL LEGIT LEADER'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO LEGIT LEADER FOR USE OF THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Legit Leader and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:
These Terms and any claims, causes of action, of any kind or character, or demand arising out of or relating to the Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California. Any claim, cause of action or dispute, arising out of or relating to these Terms shall also be resolved exclusively in any state or federal court located in the City of Los Angeles, California. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
If you and Legit Leader are unable to resolve any dispute, claim or disagreement (collectively, “Dispute”) in accordance with the information dispute resolution set forth above, in the interest of resolving disputes between you and the Company in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in this Section 12, you and the Company agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, use of the Services and/or the subject matter hereof will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate Disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, use of the Services and/or the subject matter hereof, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Despite the provisions of this Section 12, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a state school or institution, Legit Leader acknowledges that mandatory state law may limit or supersede certain provisions of these Terms and agrees that such state law will control over any conflicting provisions.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms (as defined below) incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Legit Leader regarding the Service.
Your use of the Services is subject to all additional terms, policies, rules, or guidelines applicable to the Services or certain features of the Services that we may post on or link to from the Services (the “Additional Terms”). All Additional Terms are incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect and the Company will have the right to modify these Terms so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consumed as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Legit Leader’s prior written consent. Legit Leader may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
