We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach any provision of these Terms. Upon termination, all licenses and rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease.

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination — including but not limited to Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, Disclaimers, Indemnification, and Governing Law — shall survive termination.

6.2 Termination by User

You may stop using the Service at any time. If you have created an account (if applicable), you may request deactivation or deletion of your account by contacting us at the email listed in Section 11 (Contact Us). Upon deactivation, your User Content may be removed from the Service, though we may retain copies as required by applicable law or as necessary for legitimate business purposes.

6.3 Effect of Termination

Termination of your access does not relieve you of any obligations that accrued prior to termination, including payment obligations (if any) or responsibility for actions that occurred while your account was active.

7. Dispute Resolution

7.1 Informal Resolution

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service ("Dispute"), the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. The claiming party must send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party at the contact email listed in Section 11. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute within 60 days of such notice.

7.2 Binding Arbitration

If the Dispute cannot be resolved informally within 60 days, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by an arbitral tribunal in accordance with the laws identified in Section 8 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction). The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Each party shall bear its own costs in connection with the arbitration, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator.

7.3 Class Action Waiver

You and Boldica agree that each party may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The parties expressly waive the right to participate in a class action.

7.4 Exception for Injunctive Relief

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or confidential information at any time without first proceeding to informal resolution or arbitration.

8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

8.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

8.2 Jurisdiction and Venue

Subject to the dispute resolution provisions in Section 7, you agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any legal action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, United States of America. You hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection based on improper venue or forum non conveniens.

8.3 Application Across Jurisdictions

These Terms apply to all users of the Service, regardless of geographic location. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

9. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies or guidelines posted on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Boldica regarding the use of the Service and supersede and replace any prior agreements, understandings, or representations, whether oral or written, between the parties regarding the subject matter herein.
