By accessing or using the Websites, the User agrees to comply with the terms set forth in this Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that the Company is not responsible for the outcomes of any contact or meeting, whether in person, by telephone, or through any other means, with any Advertiser or third party regarding any Advertisements or any other viewing or use of the Websites or Materials, either directly or indirectly. Furthermore, you acknowledge that, aside from the age and identity verifications of Advertisers as outlined in this Agreement or the Advertiser Agreement, the Company does not perform any additional screening of Users or Advertisers. The Company has no control over their actions and makes no representations or warranties regarding their character, truthfulness, age, health, or any other attributes.

Under no circumstances, and regardless of the cause of action or legal theory, shall the Company, its suppliers, licensees, resellers, or other Users or Advertisers, or their suppliers, licensees, resellers, or customers be liable to you or any other individual for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any commercial damages resulting from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other destructive software, or from your use of the Websites. This disclaimer of warranty is a fundamental part of this Agreement. Some states do not permit the exclusion of implied warranties, so this disclaimer may not apply to you, and you may have additional legal rights that vary by state or jurisdiction.
Any liability of the Company, including but not limited to failures in performance, errors, omissions, interruptions, deletions, defects, delays in operation or transmission, communication line failures, theft, destruction, or unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use of records, whether arising from breach of contract, tort, negligence, or any other cause of action, shall be strictly limited to one hundred dollars ($100). Some states do not allow limitations or exclusions of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to you.
The Company makes no warranties regarding any information, services, or products provided through or in connection with the Websites or Advertisements, and expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to: (1) any warranties regarding the availability, accuracy, or content of the Materials and any information, products, or services offered in the Advertisements; and (2) any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so this exclusion may not apply to you.
You acknowledge that your use of the Websites and any services offered in the Advertisements is at your own risk. We do not represent or endorse the accuracy, reliability, or legality of any services offered in the Advertisements. The Company is not liable for damages resulting from the dissemination, failure to disseminate, or incorrect or inaccurate dissemination of any Advertisement. You further acknowledge that, while we reserve the right to do so, we are not obligated to screen, endorse, monitor, control, investigate, supervise, or remove any Advertisements. You release us from any and all liability and responsibility in connection with any Advertisement.
Some Materials may be accessed by you through hyperlinks that connect you to third parties or third-party websites. We have no editorial control or oversight over the selection or display of content provided by those third parties or third-party websites, and those parties are solely responsible and liable for that content.

Notifications from the Websites to authorized Users may be delivered through electronic messages or by general announcements on the Websites. Communications from you to the Company can be sent via electronic messages to [email protected], unless otherwise stated in the Agreement.
7. Copyright Issues and/or Concerns
We honor the intellectual property rights of all parties and fully comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). We do not allow copyright infringement or violations of other intellectual property rights on Xgigs, and we will remove any user-generated content if we are properly notified that it infringes on a third party’s copyrights. We have implemented a policy for terminating repeat copyright infringers in accordance with the DMCA, and we reserve the right to revoke a user’s access to Xgigs based on our DMCA Policy or Repeat Infringer Policy. Copies of our Repeat Infringer Policy are available to registered Users upon request. Misuse of the DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy will be considered a violation of this Agreement.
8. General
This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between you and the Company regarding your use of the Websites and all Materials related to it, including Advertisements. This Agreement overrides all previous written and oral agreements, understandings, and representations, and can only be modified with notice from the Company.
The parties agree that this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, as applied to agreements between residents of Switzerland that are entered into and performed within Switzerland. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. In the event of a dispute arising from or related to this Agreement, the parties will meet and negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the issue. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute through direct or informal negotiations, the dispute will be finally settled under the Arbitration Rules of the Zurich Chamber of Commerce by one arbitrator with expertise in Internet and e-Commerce disputes, appointed according to those rules. The arbitration proceedings will take place in Zurich and will be conducted in English, except for claims seeking injunctive relief, which must be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in Zurich.
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable for any reason, that provision will be modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the provisions of this Agreement will survive its termination.
We may assign any rights or delegate any obligations under this Agreement without notifying you. You may not assign, delegate, or sublicense any of your rights or responsibilities without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment or delegation that violates this provision will be considered void.
All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive. The assertion of any right or remedy by a party does not preclude the assertion of any other rights or the pursuit of any other remedies available at law, in equity, by statute, or in any other agreement between the parties.
This Agreement benefits and binds the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This section does not address whether a party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement.
We are not liable for any failure to perform due to unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: Acts of God, such as fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, or other natural disasters; epidemics; pandemics; war, riots, arson, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, or terrorism; fiber cuts; strikes; or shortages in transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials; failures in telecommunications or information services infrastructure; hacking, spam, data breaches, malware, or any failures of computers, servers, networks, or software, as long as the event continues to delay our performance; and unlawful acts by our employees, agents, or contractors.
You agree to be bound by any affirmation, consent, or agreement you transmit through the Websites. You acknowledge that when you click on an “I agree,” “I consent,” or similarly worded button, checkbox, or entry field using your mouse, keystroke, or other computer device, your agreement or consent will be legally binding and enforceable, equivalent to your handwritten signature.
We have drafted this Agreement and our related website policies in English. You represent that you understand and agree to the English version of this Agreement as published. We are not liable for any costs or expenses incurred in translating this Agreement. If you choose to translate this Agreement, you do so at your own risk, as only the English version is binding.
You understand that the software components of the Websites may be subject to government regulations that prohibit the export or diversion of software and other goods to certain countries and third parties. Diversion of such elements contrary to international law is prohibited. You will not assist or participate in any such diversion or violation of applicable laws and regulations. You warrant that you will not license or otherwise allow anyone not authorized to receive controlled commodities under applicable laws and regulations, and that you will comply with such laws and regulations. You agree that none of the elements are being or will be acquired for, shipped, transferred, or re-exported, directly or indirectly, to prohibited or embargoed countries or their nationals or used for prohibited activities.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create, imply, or recognize a partnership, employment relationship, joint venture, or any formal business entity of any kind; the rights and obligations of the parties shall be limited to those expressly stated herein.
No waiver or action taken by us shall be considered a waiver of any subsequent default of the same provision of this Agreement. If any term, clause, or provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that invalidity will not affect the validity or operation of any other term, clause, or provision, and the invalid term, clause, or provision will be deemed severed from this Agreement.
All headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning, interpretation, or effect of this Agreement.
We make no representation that Xgigs is suitable or available for use in all locations. You may not access or use Xgigs from jurisdictions where its contents may be illegal or otherwise prohibited. Those who choose to access and use Xgigs from such locations do so at their own initiative and are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable local laws. Nothing in this Agreement should be interpreted as an admission that we are subject to the laws of any country other than Switzerland.
The services offered by Xgigs are VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW. If you use Xgigs while located in a prohibited jurisdiction, you will be violating the laws of that jurisdiction and this Agreement, and your account may be suspended or terminated without notice. You agree that we cannot be held liable if the laws applicable to you restrict or prohibit your participation. We make no representations or warranties, either implicit or explicit, regarding your legal right to participate in any services offered on Xgigs, nor does anyone affiliated with us have the authority to make such representations or warranties. We reserve the right to restrict access to and use of Xgigs in any jurisdiction.
