1. OUR SERVICES

Our Services are not intended for use in any jurisdiction where doing so would violate local law. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you are responsible for complying with your local laws.

Our Services are not designed to comply with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA or FISMA. If your use would be subject to such laws, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our content and trademarks

We own (or license) all intellectual property in our Services — including the source code, databases, designs, text, graphics, audio, video, and logos (our "Content" and "Marks"). These are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

Our Content and Marks are provided "as is" for your personal, non-commercial use or internal business purposes only.

Your license to use our Services

Subject to these Legal Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Services and download or print Content you have properly gained access to — solely for personal, non-commercial use or internal business purposes.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content or Marks for commercial purposes without our written permission. To request permission, contact us at https://www.mattas.net/contact.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. Any breach of these intellectual property rights will be a material breach of these Legal Terms and will terminate your right to use the Services immediately.

License you grant us: By posting Contributions, you grant us an unrestricted, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, reproduce, distribute, display, perform, modify, and create derivative works from your Contributions — in any media format and through any channel — including using your name, likeness, and any trademarks or logos you provide.

Your responsibilities: You confirm that your Contributions are original (or that you have the necessary rights), that they do not infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights, that they are not false or misleading, and that they comply with our Prohibited Activities. You agree to reimburse us for any losses caused by Contributions that violate these terms.

Our rights: We may edit, remove, or reposition any Contribution at any time, for any reason, without notice. We may also suspend or disable your account and report violations to authorities.

This includes using your name, company name, trademarks, and any images you provide. You waive any moral rights in your Contributions.

We do not claim ownership of your Contributions — you retain full ownership and any associated intellectual property rights. We are not liable for any statements in your Contributions. You are solely responsible for them.

We may, in our sole discretion, edit, reclassify, or remove any Contribution at any time, without notice. We have no obligation to monitor your Contributions.

8. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND CONTENT

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites and content that we don't control or monitor. We are not responsible for the accuracy, privacy practices, opinions, or content of third-party sites. Visiting third-party sites is at your own risk, and these Legal Terms no longer apply once you leave our Services. We are not responsible for any purchases you make through third-party websites.

9. SERVICES MANAGEMENT

We reserve the right to monitor the Services for violations, take legal action against violators, restrict or disable access to Contributions or content that is excessive or burdensome, and otherwise manage the Services as needed to protect our rights and ensure proper functioning. We are not required to monitor user activity and disclaim responsibility for misuse of the Services.

Reporting violations

If you believe any content or Contribution violates these Legal Terms, contact us at https://www.mattas.net/contact. If you believe content infringes intellectual property rights, see Section 11.

Mistaken removal

If you think we mistakenly removed your content, contact us and we'll review our decision. The content may remain down during the review.

10. PRIVACY POLICY

We care about your privacy. Please review our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms. By using the Services, you agree to our Privacy Policy.

Our Services are hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in the United States. If you access the Services from another country, you consent to having your data transferred to and processed in the United States.

11. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe material on our Services infringes your copyright, please notify us at https://www.mattas.net/contact. We will send a copy of your notice to the person who posted or stored the material. Please note that under applicable law, you may be liable for damages if you make a false claim of infringement. If you're unsure, consider consulting an attorney first.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Legal Terms remain in effect while you use the Services. We may deny access to anyone, for any reason, at any time, without notice — including for violating these terms or any applicable law. We may terminate your account and delete your content at any time, without warning.

If your account is terminated, you may not create a new account under your name or anyone else's. We may also pursue legal action if appropriate.

Enforcement and consequences

Consequences for violations vary depending on the severity and your history. We may warn you, remove the offending content, suspend or temporarily restrict your account, permanently terminate your account, or notify law enforcement when we believe there's a genuine risk to safety. We exclude liability for any action we take in response to a breach of these Legal Terms.

13. CHANGES AND INTERRUPTIONS

We may change, modify, or remove content from the Services at any time, without notice. We are not obligated to update any information. We will not be liable for any changes, price adjustments, suspensions, or discontinuations of the Services.

We cannot guarantee the Services will always be available. There may be interruptions due to hardware, software, maintenance, or other issues. We are not liable for any inconvenience caused by downtime, and we have no obligation to provide updates, fixes, or releases.

14. GOVERNING LAW

These Legal Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal negotiation first

Before starting formal proceedings, both parties agree to try to resolve any dispute informally for at least 30 days. Informal negotiations begin with written notice from one party to the other.

Binding arbitration

If informal negotiations don't resolve the dispute, it will be settled by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and, where applicable, the AAA Consumer Rules (both available at adr.org). Arbitration may be conducted in person, by phone, online, or through written submissions. The arbitrator's decision must follow applicable law. The arbitration will take place in Butler County, Ohio.

By agreeing to these terms, you waive your right to a jury trial.

Court proceedings

If a dispute goes to court instead of arbitration, it will be heard in the state and federal courts in Butler County, Ohio. Both parties consent to personal jurisdiction there. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and UCITA do not apply.

Time limit

Any dispute must be brought within one (1) year of the cause of action arising.

No class actions

All disputes must be resolved individually. No class actions, consolidated proceedings, or representative actions are permitted.

Exceptions

The following are exempt from the informal negotiation and arbitration requirements: disputes over intellectual property rights, allegations of theft or unauthorized use, invasion of privacy, and claims for injunctive relief.

16. CORRECTIONS

Our Services may contain errors, typos, or inaccurate information. We reserve the right to correct these and update information at any time, without notice.

17. DISCLAIMER

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." YOUR USE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES — EXPRESS OR IMPLIED — INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF OUR CONTENT OR ANY LINKED WEBSITES OR APPS, AND WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR: (1) ERRORS IN CONTENT, (2) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE FROM YOUR USE, (3) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OUR SERVERS OR YOUR DATA, (4) SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, (5) VIRUSES OR MALWARE, OR (6) LOSSES FROM USING ANY CONTENT ON THE SERVICES.

WE DO NOT ENDORSE OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ADVERTISED OR OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, OR LOSS OF DATA — ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED $100.00 USD.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THOSE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

19. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless — including our affiliates, officers, agents, partners, and employees — from any claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (1) your Contributions, (2) your use of the Services, (3) your breach of these Legal Terms, (4) any misrepresentation you make, (5) your violation of third-party rights, or (6) any harmful act toward another user. We may assume control of any defense at your expense, and you agree to cooperate.

20. USER DATA

We maintain certain data you transmit to help manage the Services. While we perform regular backups, you are solely responsible for your data. We are not liable for any loss or corruption of your data, and you waive any claims against us arising from data loss.

21. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

By using the Services and sending us emails or submitting forms, you consent to receiving electronic communications from us. You agree that electronic notices, agreements, and other communications satisfy any legal requirement that those communications be in writing. You agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, and records, and waive any requirements for original signatures or non-electronic delivery.

22. CALIFORNIA USERS AND RESIDENTS

If any complaint is not satisfactorily resolved, California residents can contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services, California Department of Consumer Affairs: 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834 — phone: (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.

23. GENERAL PROVISIONS

These Legal Terms, together with any policies posted on the Services, constitute the entire agreement between you and us. If we don't enforce a provision, that doesn't mean we waive it. These terms operate to the fullest extent permitted by law. We may assign our rights and obligations at any time. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If any provision is found unlawful or unenforceable, it will be severed without affecting the remaining provisions. No joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship is created by these terms. These terms will not be construed against us simply because we drafted them. You waive any defense based on the electronic form of these terms.
