3.3. Third party links

Certain content of our services may include materials from third-parties.

Third-party links on this site may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third-parties.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products should be directed to the third-party.

3.4. Accuracy, completeness and timeliness of information

By using our services, you may encounter content or information that might be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed or misleading. The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete or more timely sources of information. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.

This site may contain certain historical information. Historical information, necessarily, is not current and is provided for your reference only. We reserve the right to modify the contents of this site at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information on our site. You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor changes to our site.

3.5.

Greensider reserves the right to limit your use of our services.

3.6.

Greensider reserves all of its intellectual property rights in our services. You agree not to copy, distribute, display, disseminate or otherwise reproduce any of the information on our website, or our website itself, without our prior permission.

4. Disclaimer and Limit of Liability

4.1. No Warranty

Greensider makes no representation or warranty about our services, including any representation that the services will be uninterrupted or error-free, and provides the services, including content and information on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Greensider disclaims any implied or statutory warranty, including any implied warranty of title, accuracy of data, non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

4.2. Exclusion of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law (and unless Greensider has entered into a separate written agreement that overrides this contract), Greensider will not be liable in connection with this contract for lost profits or lost business opportunity, reputation (e.g. offensive or defamatory statements), loss of data (e.g. down time or loss, use of, or changes to, your information or content) or any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages.

Greensider will not be liable to you in connection with this contract for any amount.

4.3. Basis of the Bargain; Exclusions

The limitations of liability in this Section 4 are part of the basis of the bargain between you and Greensider and shall apply to all claims of liability (e.g. warranty, tort, negligence, contract and law) even if Greensider has been told of the possibility of any such damage, and even if these remedies fail their essential purpose.

These limitations of liability do not apply to liability for death or personal injury or for fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or in cases of negligence where a material obligation has been breached, a material obligation being such which forms a prerequisite to our delivery of services and on which you may reasonably rely, but only to the extent that the damages were directly caused by the breach and were foreseeable upon conclusion of this contract and to the extent that they are typical in the context of this contract.

5. Termination

Both you and Greensider may terminate this contract at any time with notice to the other. On termination, you lose the right to access or use our services. The following shall survive termination:

- Our rights to use and disclose your feedback;

- Sections 4, 6, 7, and 8.2 of this Contract;

- Any amounts owed by either party prior to termination remain owed after termination.

6. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

If you live in the European Union (EU), the laws of the EU govern all claims related to Greensider's provision of the services, but this shall not deprive you of the mandatory consumer protections under the law of the country to which we direct your services where you have habitual residence. With respect to jurisdiction, you and Greensider agree to choose the courts of the country to which we direct your services where you have habitual residence for all disputes arising out of or relating to this user agreement, or in the alternative, you may choose the responsible court in Ireland.

For others outside of the EU: You and Greensider agree that the laws of the EU, excluding its conflict of laws rules, shall exclusively govern any dispute relating to this contract and/or the services. You and Greensider both agree that all claims and disputes can be litigated only in courts in the EU, and you and Greensider each agree to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

7. General Terms

If a court with authority over this contract finds any part of it unenforceable, you and we agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and we agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this contract.

This contract (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the services) is the only agreement between us regarding the services and supersedes all prior agreements for the services.

If we don't act to enforce a breach of this contract, that does not mean that Greensider has waived its right to enforce this contract. You may not assign or transfer this contract (or your use of the services) to anyone without our consent. However, you agree that Greensider may assign this contract to a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this contract.

You agree that the only way to provide us legal notice is at the addresses provided in Section 10.
