    We will retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

In addition, We will investigate and provide You with all reasonably available and relevant information regarding the Security Breach and take reasonable steps to remediate the cause of the Security Breach to the extent it is caused by CHECKTOBUILD. You acknowledge and agree that the Security Breach notification obligation is not an acknowledgment that You are entitled to any remedy, including damages, in the event of a Security Breach.

    8. Termination

    8.1 Termination by Us

    We may suspend or terminate Your access to all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. If We terminate Your subscription for Paid Services without cause, We will refund You on a pro-rata basis for the remainder of Your subscription period.

    Upon termination of Your account, Your right to use the Services will immediately cease, and We shall have no obligation to maintain or forward any content in Your account. All of Your Content may be permanently deleted by Us upon termination of Your account. If You terminate Your account, We will have no obligation to maintain or forward any content in Your account. We may terminate Your access to all or any part of the Services if We determine, in Our sole discretion, that You have breached these Terms. Termination of Your access to and use of the Services shall not relieve You of any obligations arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability that You otherwise may have to Us or any third party.

    8.4 Liability of Termination
    Except for Our breach of confidentiality, We will not be liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred by You or any third parties as a result of the termination or deletion of Your account in connection with the use of the Services. Further, You agree that We will not be liable to You or any third-party for any termination by Us of Your account or access to Services as permitted by these Terms.

    9. Confidential Information

    The term “Confidential Information” encompasses all proprietary, non-public information exchanged by either You or Us (referred to as the “Disclosure”) to the other party (referred to as the “Receiver”), whether conveyed orally or in writing. This information is considered confidential when it is explicitly labeled as such by the Disclosure or should reasonably be recognized as confidential by the Receiver, considering the nature of the information and the context in which it is disclosed. Not included in Confidential Information are: (i) information that becomes publicly known without any violation of obligations to the Disclosure, or (ii) information that was already known to the Receiver prior to receiving it from the Disclosure.

    9.1 Safeguarding and Disclosure of Confidentiality
    The Receiver commits to the following:

    i. Safeguarding the confidentiality of the Confidential Information with a level of care equivalent to that applied to its own confidential information of a similar nature, but no less than reasonable care.

    ii. Restricting the use of Confidential Information to purposes directly related to these Terms.

    iii. Not disclosing Confidential Information to any third party, except for Our third-party service providers.

    iv. Limiting access to Confidential Information to employees, contractors, advisors, and agents with a legitimate need to know such information. We shall retain responsibility for ensuring that Our third-party service providers comply with these Terms.

    The Receiver acknowledges that a breach of this Section 9.1 and the unauthorized disclosure, reproduction, or use of Confidential Information by itself, its employees, contractors, advisors, agents, and/or third-party service providers could result in irreparable harm to the Disclosure. Monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the Disclosure for such a breach. Consequently, the Receiver agrees that, in the event of such a breach, the Disclosure is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court with jurisdiction, without the necessity of posting a bond. The Receiving Party will not contest the issuance of an injunction or other equitable relief on the grounds of an adequate legal remedy. This remedy is supplementary to any other remedies available to the parties under these Terms or in accordance with the law.

    10. Disclaimers

    10.1 No Warranty

THESE DISCLAIMERS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE TERMS. YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY PURCHASE OR USE ANY ITEMS OFFERED BY US EXCEPT UNDER THE CONDITIONS OUTLINED IN THESE DISCLAIMERS. IF IMPLIED WARRANTIES CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THEN ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE PERIOD REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE DURATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

    11. Indemnity

    You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold CHECKTOBUILD, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers, harmless from and against any claims, actions or demands, liabilities and settlements including without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, resulting from, or alleged to result from, Your violation of these Terms or any other CHECKTOBUILD policies, including without limitation, the Acceptable Use Policy or Privacy Policy.

    If either party becomes aware of a matter giving rise, or likely to give rise, to a claim against it in relation to which it is entitled to be indemnified by the other party under these Terms, it shall: (a) to the extent legally permissible to do so, notify the other party of the claim as soon as practicable and consult with the other party with respect to the claim; (b) provide such assistance as the other party may reasonably request to dispute, resist, appeal, compromise, defend, remedy or mitigate the claim or enforce the other party’s rights in relation to the matter, and, if the other party requests, allow the other party the exclusive conduct of any related proceedings, and (c) not admit liability, incur any expense, make any offer in compromise in respect of or settle the claim without first obtaining the indemnifying party’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

    12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

    12.1 Governing Law

    These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the state of Florida in each case located in the city of Miami and county of Miami, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

    12.2 Dispute Resolution

    (a) Informal Resolution. If You have any dispute with Us, You agree that before taking any formal action, You will contact Us at info@checktobuild.com and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and Your contact information (including Your username, if Your dispute relates to an account). Except for intellectual property claims, You and We agree to use best efforts through good faith negotiations to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in informal resolution discussions before initiating any court proceeding.

    (b) Arbitration Agreement. If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute through informal resolution within sixty (60) days after the date of Your initial contact, then either party may elect to have the dispute resolved by binding arbitration as set forth in this paragraph. Unless otherwise agreed, any arbitration will take place in Miami County, Florida.

    (i) Right to Opt Out of Arbitration. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If You do so, neither You nor CHECKTOBUILD can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, You must notify Us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that You first became subject to this arbitration procedure. You must use this address to opt out:

    CHECKTOBUILD, Inc.
    Attn: Arbitration Opt-out
    120 NE 27th St Ste 900
    Miami, FL 33137
    You must include Your name and residence address, the email address You use for Your CHECKTOBUILD account (if any), and a clear statement that You want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

    (ii) Small Claims Court. As an alternative to opting out of the arbitration procedure, any dispute may be resolved in small claims court, if the claim qualifies, in accordance with the Florida Code of Civil Procedure.

    (c) Binding Arbitration. Any

    dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Miami, Florida before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms.

    (d) No Class Actions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You and CHECKTOBUILD each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, We each waive any right to a jury trial.

    13. Miscellaneous

    CHECKTOBUILD shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
