2. Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted to you in these Terms of Use will immediately cease.

3. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change these Terms of Use (“Updated Terms”) from time to time. Unless we make a change for legal or administrative reasons, we will provide reasonable advance notice before the Updated Terms become effective. You agree that we may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them in the Application, and that your use of the Application after the effective date of the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms. Therefore, you should review these Terms of Use and any Updated Terms before using the Application. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of the Application from that point forward.

4. We reserve the right to refuse access to the Application to anyone for any reason at any time.

Exercise common sense and your best judgment when interacting with others, including when you submit or post Content or any personal or other information.

7. Functionality on the Application may also permit interactions between the Application and a third-party web site or feature. For example, the Application may include a feature that enables you to share Content from the Application or your Content with a third party, which may be publicly posted on that third party’s service or application. Using this functionality typically requires you to login to your account on the third-party service and you do so at your own risk. ZiMAD does not control any of these third-party web services or any of their content. You expressly acknowledge and agree that ZiMAD is in no way responsible or liable for any such third-party services or features.

Rights

1. ZiMAD does not claim ownership of any Content that you post in or through the Application.

Some of the Application is supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions, and you hereby agree that ZiMAD may place such advertising and promotions in the Application or on, about, or in conjunction with your Content. The manner, mode and extent of such advertising and promotions are subject to change without specific notice to you.

3. You represent and warrant that:

   1. you own the Content posted by you on or through the Application or otherwise have the right to grant the rights and licenses set forth in these Terms of Use;

5.

Also, ZiMAD reserves the right to remove any Content from the Application for any reason, without prior notice. Content removed from the Application may continue to be stored by ZiMAD, including, without limitation, in order to comply with certain legal obligations, but may not be retrievable without a valid court order.

In other words, Puzzle Villa is not a backup service and you agree that you will not rely on the Application for the purposes of Content backup or storage. ZiMAD will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Application, or the loss of any Content. You also acknowledge that the Internet may be subject to breaches of security and that the submission of Content or other information may not be secure.

6. You agree that ZiMAD is not responsible for, and does not endorse, Content posted within the Application. ZiMAD does not have any obligation to prescreen, monitor, edit, or remove any Content. If your Content violates these Terms of Use, you may bear legal responsibility for that Content.

7. Except as otherwise described in the ZiMAD’s Privacy Policy, available at https://zimad.com/policy/, as between you and ZiMAD, any Content will be non-confidential and non-proprietary and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure of Content. You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with ZiMAD is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit any Content does not place ZiMAD in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public, including with regard to your Content. None of your Content will be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of ZiMAD, and ZiMAD will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Content you provide.

 

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Application, including, without limitation, Puzzle Villa content, is provided on an “as is”, “as available” and “with all faults” basis. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither ZiMAD nor any of their employees, managers, officers or agents (collectively, the “ZiMAD Parties”) make any representations or warranties or endorsements of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, as to: (a) the Application; (b) the Puzzle Villa Content; (c) user Content; or (d) security associated with the transmission of information to ZiMAD or via the Application. In addition, the ZiMAD Parties hereby disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, custom, trade, quiet enjoyment, system integration and freedom from computer virus.

The ZiMAD Parties do not represent or warrant that the Application will be error-free or uninterrupted; that defects will be corrected; or that the Application or the company servers is free from any harmful components, including, without limitation, viruses. The ZiMAD Parties do not make any representations or warranties that the information (including any instructions) in the Application is accurate, complete, or useful. You acknowledge that your use of the Application is at your sole risk. The ZiMAD Parties do not warrant that your use of the Application is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and the ZiMAD Parties specifically disclaim such warranties. Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the disclaimer of implied or other warranties so the above disclaimer may not apply to you to the extent such jurisdiction’s law is applicable to you and these terms of use.

By accessing or using the Application you represent and warrant that your activities are lawful in every jurisdiction where you access or use the Application.

The ZiMAD Parties do not endorse Content and specifically disclaim any responsibility or liability to any person or entity for any loss, damage (whether actual, consequential, punitive or otherwise), injury, claim, liability or other cause of any kind or character based upon or resulting from any Content.

 

Limitation of Liability; Waiver

Under no circumstances will the ZiMAD Parties be liable to you for any loss or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages) that are directly or indirectly related to:

• (a) the Application;

• (b) the Puzzle Villa content;

• (c) user Content;

• (d) your use of, inability to use, or the performance of the Application;

• (e) any action taken in connection with an investigation by the ZiMAD Parties or law enforcement authorities regarding your or any other party’s use of the Application;

• (f) any action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property owners;

• (g) any errors or omissions in the Application’s operation;

• (h) any damage to any user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment or technology including, without limitation, damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs, tampering, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line or network failure or any other technical or other malfunction, including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of data, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or computer failure or malfunction, even if foreseeable or even if the ZiMAD Parties have been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damages, whether in an action of contract, negligence, strict liability or tort (including, without limitation, whether caused in whole or in part by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or theft or destruction of the application).

In no event will the ZiMAD Parties be liable to you or anyone else for loss, damage or injury, including, without limitation, death or personal injury. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event will the ZiMAD Parties total liability to you for all damages, losses or causes or action exceed one hundred united states dollars ($100.00).

You agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of ZiMAD’s acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any web site, service, property, product or other content owned or controlled by the ZiMAD Parties, and you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of any web site, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by the ZiMAD Parties.

By accessing the Application, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and hereby expressly waive, the benefits of section 1542 of the civil code of California, and any similar law of any state or territory, which provides as follows: “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

ZiMAD is not responsible for the actions, content, information, or data of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties.

 

Indemnification

You (and also any third party for whom you operate an account or activity in the Application) agree to defend (at ZiMAD’s request), indemnify and hold the ZiMAD Parties harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the following (including as a result of your direct activities in the Application or those conducted on your behalf):

1. your Content or your access to or use of the Application;

2. your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Use;

3. your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right;

4. your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities;

5. any misrepresentation made by you.

You will cooperate as fully required by ZiMAD in the defense of any claim. ZiMAD reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of ZiMAD.

 

Governing Law & Venue

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law and will specifically not be governed by the United Nations conventions on contracts for the international sale of goods, if otherwise applicable. For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms of Use, the Excluded Disputes or if you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, you agree to resolve any dispute you have with ZiMAD exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco, California, for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. ZiMAD’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. ZiMAD reserves the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with ZiMAD.

 

Territorial Restrictions

We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Application or any portion of the Application, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service or other feature that ZiMAD provides.
