We are committed to making the Site accessible to users of all abilities, including those with disabilities.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, and uninterrupted access.

We do not warrant that the Site will be error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Andy Galpin and any affiliated parties, contributors, or service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including damages for loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or any content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00) or the amount you paid us in the preceding twelve months, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Andy Galpin and any affiliated parties from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

13. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site or any services at any time, without notice, for any reason — including violation of these Terms. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, arbitration, and governing law) will continue to apply.

14. Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, except as set forth below. Arbitration will be administered by [INSERT - e.g., JAMS or the American Arbitration Association] in accordance with its then-current rules. The arbitration will take place in [INSERT COUNTY, STATE], unless you and we agree otherwise, and the arbitrator's decision will be final and binding. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver

You and Andy Galpin agree that any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for matters relating to intellectual property infringement, unauthorized access, or misuse of the Site.

30-Day Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to [INSERT EMAIL] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

15. Modifications to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the Site.

16. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [INSERT STATE], without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions in Section 14, any dispute not subject to arbitration will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [INSERT COUNTY, STATE], and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

17. General Provisions

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent.

Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, government action, labor disputes, or internet or infrastructure failures.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior agreements or understandings on the subject.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce that or any other provision in the future.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms or our rights under them without restriction.

Headings

Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
