The Services are billed in advance on a monthly basis and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months, for account upgrades or downgrades, or for months unused with an open account.

We reserve the right to change service fees upon thirty (30) days notice. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to AVP or by email.

At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Audio Visual Preservation Solutions, Inc. cancels it.

We also reserve the right, but do not have any obligation, to refuse service to anyone and close your account(s) without notice for any or no reason at all.


API Terms

Where applicable, you may access account data via AVP provided APIs (Application Programming Interface). Any use of an API, including use of an API through a third-party product that accesses an AVP provided API, is bound by these Terms.

You expressly understand and agree that we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages) resulting from your use of an API or third-party products that access your data via an API.

Abuse or excessively frequent requests to AVP via API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your access to an API. We may, at our sole discretion, determine abuse or excessive usage of an API. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, your access to an API (or any part thereof) with or without notice.


Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all demands, loss, liability, claims or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) made against us by any third party due to or arising out of or in connection with your use of AVP.


Representations and Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we provide AVP on an “as is” and “as available” basis, which means we don’t provide warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and to any warranties that (i) AVP will meet your specific requirements, (ii) AVP will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, (iii) the results that may be obtained from the use of AVP will be accurate or reliable, (iv) the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you through AVP will meet your expectations, and (v) any errors in AVP will be corrected.


Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume full responsibility for and we disclaim liability to you for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, or punitive damages, including lost profits, even if we had been advised of the possibility of such damages.

We disclaim any and all liability for the acts, omissions, and conduct of any third parties related to your use of AVP and any linked sites and services. Your sole remedy against us for dissatisfaction with AVP is to stop using AVP. This limitation of relief is a part of the bargain between you and us. The preceding disclaimer applies to any damages, liability, or injuries whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence or any other cause of action.

If, notwithstanding the other provisions of the Terms, we are found to be liable to you for any damage or loss which arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of the Website or any of our Services, our liability shall not exceed what you paid us for the Services in the previous month. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.


Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

You agree that all matters relating to your access to or use of AVP, including all disputes, will be governed by the laws of the United States and by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. You agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in New York County, New York, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue. Any claim under these Terms of Use must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred.

No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses, except that the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. In the event of any controversy or dispute between us and you arising out of or in connection with your use of the Websites or Services, the parties shall attempt, promptly and in good faith, to resolve any such dispute. If we are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days), then either party may submit such controversy or dispute to mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, then the parties shall be free to pursue any right or remedy available to them under applicable law.


Force Majeure

You agree that we are not liable for any delays or failure in performance of any part of the Services, from any cause beyond our control.


Severability

If one or more sections of the Terms are held unenforceable, then those sections will be removed or edited as little as necessary, and the rest of the Terms will still be valid and enforceable.


Assignments

You may not assign any of your rights under this agreement to anyone else. We may assign our rights to any other individual or entity at our discretion.


No Waiver

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.


Entire Agreement

These Terms and all documents incorporated into these Terms by reference constitute the entire agreement between you and us and govern your use of AVP, superseding any prior agreements between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).


Amendments and Changes to AVP

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of the Terms, at any time. Amendments or changes to these Terms won’t be effective until we post revised Terms on the Website. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance AVP shall be subject to the Terms.

It is your responsibility to check the Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of AVP following the posting of changes will mean that you accept and agree to the changes.

We reserve the right to do any of the following, at any time, without notice to you: (1) to modify, suspend or terminate operation of or access to AVP, or any portion of AVP for any reason; (2) to modify or change AVP, or any portion of AVP, and any applicable policies or terms; and (3) to interrupt the operation of AVP, or any portion of AVP, as necessary to perform routine or non-routine maintenance, error correction, or other changes.
