|
|
<h2>8. Changes</h2>
|
|
<p>PwOSS reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace any part of this Agreement. It
|
|
is your responsibility to check this Agreement periodically for changes. Your continued use of or
|
|
access to the Website following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance
|
|
of those changes. PwOSS may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through the
|
|
Website (including, the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or services shall
|
|
be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.<a name="12"></a></p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<h2>9. Termination</h2>
|
|
<p>PwOSS may terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause,
|
|
with or without notice, effective immediately. If you wish to terminate this Agreement or your
|
|
pwoss.org account (if you have one), you may simply discontinue using the Website. All provisions of
|
|
this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination,
|
|
including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations
|
|
of liability.<a name="13"></a><a name="14"></a></p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<h2>10. General</h2>
|
|
<p>The Website is hosted in the United States. The Operators make no claims that the Content on the
|
|
Website is appropriate or may be downloaded outside of the United States. Access to the Content may
|
|
not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Website from outside the
|
|
United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your
|
|
jurisdiction. The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
|
|
will not apply to these Terms. A party may give notice to the other party only in writing at that
|
|
party's principal place of business, attention of that party's principal legal officer, or at such
|
|
other address or by such other method as the party shall specify in writing. Notice shall be deemed
|
|
given upon personal delivery or facsimile, or, if sent by certified mail with postage prepaid, 5
|
|
business days after the date of mailing, or, if sent by international overnight courier with postage
|
|
prepaid, 7 business days after the date of mailing. If any provision herein is held to be
|
|
unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being affected in any
|
|
way. Further, the parties agree to replace such unenforceable provision with an enforceable
|
|
provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the unenforceable
|
|
provision. Section headings are for reference purposes only and do not define, limit, construe or
|
|
describe the scope or extent of such section. The failure of the Operators to act with respect to a
|
|
breach of this Agreement by you or others does not constitute a waiver and shall not limit the
|
|
Operators' rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. Any action or proceeding
|
|
arising out of or related to this Agreement or User's use of the Website must be brought in the
|
|
courts of Belgium, and you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
|
|
Any cause of action you may have with respect to your use of the Website must be commenced within
|
|
one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. These Terms set forth the entire
|
|
understanding and agreement of the parties, and supersedes any and all oral or written agreements or
|
|
understandings between the parties, as to their subject matter. The waiver of a breach of any
|
|
provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.<a

<h2>11. Links to Other Materials</h2>
|
|
<p>The Website may contain links to sites owned or operated by independent third parties. These links
|
|
are provided for your convenience and reference only. We do not control such sites and, therefore,
|
|
we are not responsible for any content posted on these sites. The fact that the Operators offer such
|
|
links should not be construed in any way as an endorsement, authorization, or sponsorship of that
|
|
site, its content or the companies or products referenced therein, and the Operators reserve the
|
|
right to note its lack of affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement on the Website. If you decide to
|
|
access any of the third party sites linked to by the Website, you do this entirely at your own risk.
|
|
Because some sites employ automated search results or otherwise link you to sites containing
|
|
information that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, the Operators cannot be held responsible
|
|
for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in third party
|
|
sites, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such sites.</p>
