Breaches of these Terms

Without prejudice to Cirrus’s other rights under these Terms, if you breach these terms and conditions in any way, Cirrus may take such action as Cirrus deems appropriate to deal with the breach, including suspending your access to the Site, prohibiting you from accessing the Site, blocking computers using your IP address from accessing the Site, contacting your internet service provider to request that they block your access to the Site and/or bringing court proceedings against you. The remedies available to Cirrus under these Terms are cumulative and not exclusive.

Governing Law

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with California law, without regard to conflicts of law principles, and any disputes relating to these terms and conditions will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California located in the City of San Francisco. 

Any such dispute shall be resolved on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated with any claim or controversy of any other party (including without limitation any class action claim).  EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE AND THESE TERMS OF USE.

Suggestions And Improvements

By sending us any ideas, suggestions, documents or proposals (“Feedback”), you agree that (i) your Feedback does not contain the confidential proprietary information of third parties, (ii) we are under no obligation of confidentiality, express or implied, with respect to the Feedback, (iii) we may have something similar to the Feedback already under consideration or in development, and (iv) you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, assignable, sublicensable, transferable license to use, modify, prepare derivative works, publish, distribute and sublicense the Feedback, and you irrevocably waive, and cause to be waived, against Cirrus and its users any claims and assertions of any moral rights contained in such Feedback.

Notices and Questions

General

We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Site at our sole discretion, at any time, for any or no reason, and without notice or liability.

Except as otherwise stated in “Indemnity” above, nothing herein is intended, nor will be deemed, to confer rights or remedies upon any third party.

The Terms contain the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site, and supersede any prior agreement between you and us on such subject matter. The parties acknowledge that no reliance is placed on any representation made but not expressly contained in these Terms.

If you are a subscriber to Cirrus services, your service relationship with Cirrus will be governed by a separate user agreement, and these Terms will apply only to your use of the Site.

Any failure on our part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

If any provision of the Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, then only that provision shall be modified to reflect the parties' intention or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

The Terms, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with Cirrus’s prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you shall violate these Terms and be void.

The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
