Terms of Use

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, incorporated by reference. Electronic records and signatures are valid and enforceable, and consent may be obtained electronically. (15 U.S.C. § 7001, ESIGN Act; Cal. Civ. Code § 1633.7, California UETA.)

The Service is intended for a general adult audience in the United States. By using the Service you represent that you are 18 years of age or older. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them without verifiable parental consent. (16 C.F.R. § 312.5, COPPA Rule.) If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will promptly delete it.

The Service is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on the Service is, or should be relied on as, legal, tax, or financial advice, and no attorney client or fiduciary relationship is created by your use of the Service.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non exclusive, non transferable, non sublicensable license to access and use the Service for your own personal, non commercial purposes. This license does not transfer any ownership in the Service, our software, or our content.

The Service and all content we create, including text, compilations, organization, layout, design, graphics, logos, and the “Aurelis LLC™” mark and related branding, are owned by Aurelis LLC or its licensors and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license above, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, frame, mirror, sell, license, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Service, including the text of this and other legal pages, without our prior written permission.

If you submit content through the Service, for example a message through the contact form, you retain ownership of that content and grant us a limited, non exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license to host, store, use, reproduce, and display that content solely to respond to you and to operate and improve the Service. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the content you submit and that it does not infringe any third party right or violate any law. Any feedback or suggestions you provide may be used by us without obligation or compensation.

You agree not to:

• violate any applicable law, regulation, or third party right;
• use any automated means (including bots, crawlers, spiders, or scraping tools) to access, copy, harvest, or index the Service without our prior written permission;
• interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of the Service or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, data, or system;
• upload or transmit any virus, malware, or harmful code;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or underlying ideas of the Service; or
• use the Service to spam or harass others, or to build, train, or improve a competing product or service.

The Service may contain links to third party websites and resources. A link is not an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee, or warranty of any third party or its services. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, conduct, products, or services of any third party. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that third party.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE, OR THAT INFORMATION WILL BE COMPLETE OR CURRENT. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights that cannot be disclaimed or waived under applicable law.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AURELIS LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR FRAUD OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Aurelis LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any third party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Service in violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or regulation, any content you submit that infringes third party rights or is unlawful, or your willful misconduct or negligence. This does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of these Terms.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.

Except where prohibited by law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, or by JAMS, at the claimant's election. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. The arbitration will take place in San Diego County, California, or by remote means where available. In California, any waiver of the right to seek public injunctive relief is unenforceable, and nothing in these Terms limits that right. (McGill v. Citibank, N.A., 2 Cal.5th 945 (2017).)

THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS WIDE ARBITRATION.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND AURELIS LLC KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to the Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions above, venue for any action lies exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

We may update, modify, or discontinue any feature of the Service or these Terms from time to time. When required by law, we will provide notice of material changes. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Last updated” date on this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void. We may assign these Terms to any affiliate or successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior communications.

You agree to comply with all applicable U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and represent that you are not located in, or acting on behalf of, any person or entity subject to U.S. sanctions.
