Any future third-party links or references would remain subject to the terms and policies of the relevant third parties.
9. Third-Party Links and Resources
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, tools, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by us. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse, monitor, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products, services, privacy practices, or policies.
Your use of third-party websites is at your own risk, and you should review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. We also do not guarantee that any content on the Site will always be current, complete, or accurate.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Palatly and its owners, contributors, affiliates, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site or reliance on any content provided on the Site.
This limitation applies whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Because some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Palatly and its owners, contributors, employees, contractors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:
- Your use of the Site;
- Your violation of these Terms;
- Your violation of any law or the rights of a third party;
- Any content or information you submit to us.
13. Privacy and Data Use
Your use of the Site is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use information, including email addresses submitted for newsletter subscriptions and information collected automatically through cookies or analytics tools.
Because the Site is intended for a United States audience and operates under applicable California privacy requirements, we encourage you to review the Privacy Policy carefully for details about your rights and our data practices.
14. California Privacy Notice
If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Those rights are described in our Privacy Policy. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any rights you may have under applicable privacy law.
15. Children’s Use
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. You may not use the Site if you are under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at [email protected] or through our contact page.
16. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in unlawful conduct, or otherwise used the Site in a way that may harm us, other users, or the integrity of the Site.
Upon termination, the rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease, but the provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect, including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.
17. Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the United States and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree that the appropriate courts located in California shall have jurisdiction, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
18. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
19. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices posted on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and Palatly regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior understandings or communications relating to the Site.
