Subscriptions are month-to-month or year-to- year, as you elect, unless otherwise agreed. The term of your subscription, including the obligation to pay the applicable Service subscription fees, will automatically renew for additional successive terms of the same duration unless terminated as specified in this Section. You may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to HowsThisGoing. For the purposes of providing notice of non-renewal as described in this paragraph, notice via email to HowsThisGoing at kanishk@howsthisgoing.com will be deemed sufficient.

In addition, we may collect registration and other information about your use of the Service.

Confidentiality

Subject to HowsThisGoing’s rights under Sections 10, 16, and 17, HowsThisGoing will not disclose to any third party, without your consent, the information or material you upload to the Service. Although we take security and privacy very seriously at HowsThisGoing, HowsThisGoing makes no warranty or guarantee to you regarding the security or confidentiality of any User Information. HowsThisGoing may, however, disclose that information or material if required by law or if HowsThisGoing reasonably determines that disclosure is necessary to prevent harm to HowsThisGoing or any third party. Your consent to disclosure shall be deemed given when you use HowsThisGoing in connection with a third party application or Third Party Account, solely with respect to disclosure in connection with your use of such third party application (i.e., data is passed to Slack). If HowsThisGoing is required by law to disclose any of that information or material, HowsThisGoing will make reasonable efforts to provide you prompt written notice of that requirement prior to disclosure.

Warranties; Disclaimer

HowsThisGoing warrants that the Service will, during the term of your subscription, materially conform to any description of the Service published by HowsThisGoing. As HowsThisGoing’s sole and exclusive liability for breach of this limited warranty, and your sole and exclusive remedy, HowsThisGoing will make reasonable efforts to correct the non-conformity.

Subscriber represents and warrants that: (a) Subscriber will not upload any information to the Service unless Subscriber has all permissions or licenses necessary to do so and to authorize HowsThisGoing’s use of that information in accordance with this Agreement; and (b) Subscriber’s use of the Service will not subject HowsThisGoing to any liability or cause HowsThisGoing to violate any law, rule, or regulation or guideline.

SOME COUNTRIES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED TERMS IN CONTRACTS WITH CONSUMERS AND AS A RESULT THE CONTENTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND HowsThisGoing EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF THE SERVICE, AND YOU RELY ON THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK. ANY MATERIAL ACCESSED, DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR HARDWARE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY MATERIAL THROUGH THE SERVICE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM HowsThisGoing OR THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT. SOME STATES MAY PROHIBIT A DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

Limitation of Liability

HowsThisGoing WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY 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 HowsThisGoing HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE DAMAGES), RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL HowsThisGoing'S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO HowsThisGoing FOR THE SERVICE. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY HowsThisGoing TO SUBSCRIBER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold HowsThisGoing and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, and employees, harmless from any costs, damages, expenses, and liability caused by your use of the Service, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of any rights of a third party through use of the Service.

Force Majeure

HowsThisGoing will not be liable to you for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement if the delay or failure is due to circumstances beyond HowsThisGoing’s reasonable control.

Assignability

You may not assign this Agreement or any right, duty, or obligation under this Agreement, without HowsThisGoing’s prior written consent. If consent is given, this Agreement will bind your successors and assigns. Any attempt by you to transfer any right, duty, or obligation under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement is void. HowsThisGoing may assign this Agreement or any right, duty, or obligation under this Agreement, at any time without your consent.

Subcontractors

HowsThisGoing may utilize one or more subcontractors or other third parties to perform its duties under this Agreement so long as HowsThisGoing remains responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement.

Waiver

The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.

Severability

If any part of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the use of the Service under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, Subscriber’s right to use the Service will immediately terminate.

Entire

Agreement This Agreement is the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding Subscriber’s use of the Service. This Agreement supersedes, and the terms of this Agreement govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into this Agreement. No employee, agent, or other representative of HowsThisGoing has any authority to bind HowsThisGoing with respect to any statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically set forth in this Agreement. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement signed by an authorized agent of the party against whom enforcement is sought. HowsThisGoing will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to this Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter this Agreement) that is proffered by Subscriber in any receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise, unless HowsThisGoing specifically agrees to such provision in writing and signed by an authorized agent of HowsThisGoing.
