Limitation of Liability; Waiver. Under no circumstances will the Motiv Parties be liable to you for any loss or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages) that are directly or indirectly related to: (a) the Service; (b) the Motiv Content; (c) Your Content; (d) your use of, inability to use, or the performance of the Service; (e) any action taken in connection with an investigation by the Motiv Parties or law enforcement authorities regarding your or any other party’s use of the Service; (f) any action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property rights; (g) any errors or omissions in the Service’s operation; or (h) any damage to any user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment or technology including, without limitation, damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs, tampering, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line or network failure or any other technical or other malfunction. This limitation of liability includes, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of data, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or computer failure or malfunction, even if foreseeable or even if the Motiv Parties have been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damages, whether in an action of contract, negligence, strict liability or tort (including, without limitation, whether caused in whole or in part by negligence, acts of God, telecommunications failure, or theft or destruction of the Service). In no event will the Motiv Parties be liable to you or anyone else for loss, damage or injury, including, without limitation, death or personal injury. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

By accessing the Service, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and hereby expressly waive, the benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, and any similar law of any state or territory, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
Indemnification. You (and also any third party for whom you operate an account or activity on the Service) agree to defend (at Motiv request), indemnify and hold the Motiv Parties harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the following (including as a result of your direct activities on the Service or those conducted on your behalf): (a) Your Content or your access to or use of the Service; (b) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Use; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; (d) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi- governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; or (e) any misrepresentation made by you. You agree to cooperate as fully required
by Motiv in the defense of any claim. Motiv reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any
claim without the prior written consent of Motiv.

These Terms of Use affect your legal rights and obligations. If you do not agree to be bound by all of these Terms of Use, do not access or use the Service.
Violation. Violation of these Terms of Use may, in Motiv sole discretion, result in a ban of Motiv usage. You understand and agree that Motiv cannot and will not be responsible for Your Content (defined below) on the Service and you use the Service at your own risk.

Motiv, Motiv can stop providing all or any part of the Service to you.

Modification of Terms of Use. Motiv reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change these Terms of Use (“Updated Terms”) from time to time. Motiv may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them on the Service, and your use of the Service after the effective date of the Updated Terms constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of the Service from that point forward. These Terms of Use will govern any disputes arising before the effective date of the Updated Terms.
Dispute Resolution. These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. You agree to resolve any dispute you have with Motiv exclusively in a state or federal court located in San Francisco, California, and to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in San Francisco County for the purpose of litigating all such disputes. You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Motiv must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.
Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Motiv and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Motiv.
Assignment. You will not assign the Terms of Use or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Motiv. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of Motiv will be null and void. Motiv may assign these Terms of Use or any rights hereunder without your consent.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the parties nevertheless agree that such portion will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver. Motiv failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any term of these Terms of Use will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.
