General Terms

Administrative Information/Jurisdictional Issues

The Sites, Applications, including Mobile Applications, and Services are controlled and operated by ScanBizCards. ScanBizCards makes no representation that content, data, information or other similar materials made available in, on or through our Sites, Applications, including Mobile Applications, and Services are appropriate or available for use in your location. Those who choose to access this Site or Services from any location do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be modified so as to render it enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible in order to effect the intention of the provision; and if a court or arbitrator finds the modified provision invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected in any way.

Entire Agreement

You agree that this Agreement constitutes the entire, complete and exclusive agreement between you and ScanBizCards regarding the Site and Services and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or purchase certain other services, third-party content or third party software.

No informal waivers

Our failure to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to that breach or subsequent similar or other breaches. Except as expressly and specifically contemplated by the Agreement, no representations, statements, consents, waivers or other acts or omissions by us or any affiliate shall be deemed legally binding on us or any affiliate, unless documented in a physical writing hand signed by a duly appointed officer of ScanBizCards.

No Injunctive Relief

In no event shall you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief, or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Site or Services, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith, or exploitation of the Services or any content or other material used or displayed through the Service.

Assignment

In no event shall you assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Agreement to any party. Any purported assignment and delegation shall be ineffective. ScanBizCards may freely assign or delegate all rights and obligations under the Agreement, fully or partially without notice to you. We may also substitute any third party that assumes our rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Governing Law and Venue

DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION AND NO CLASS RELIEF Except with regard to the enforceability of the arbitration agreement contained herein, which shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict of law principles. In the unlikely event an issue arises, except in relation to intellectual property rights as set forth below, we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration with no class relief instead of in courts. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Failure by ScanBizCards to enforce any provision(s) of the Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. If any provision of the Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The User may not assign, transfer, or otherwise convey any rights granted hereunder; provided that, ScanBizCards may assign any of the foregoing without notice or prior written consent. The Terms shall inure to the benefit of ScanBizCards, its successors and assignees. The Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any other legal notices published by ScanBizCards on the Site, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and ScanBizCards regarding use of the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes enforcing, protecting, or concerning the validity of any of your or ScanBizCards’ intellectual property rights (or the intellectual property rights of any of ScanBizCards’ licensors) are not covered by this agreement to arbitrate. If the waiver of the right to participate in a class action set forth above is found to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason whether by judicial, legislative, or other action, than the entirety of the agreement to arbitrate contained above is null and void. In that instance, you and ScanBizCards agree to waive your right to a jury trial. You and ScanBizCards further agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the ScanBizCards Services or your use of the ScanBizCards Services, including the ScanBizCards websites and mobile applications, and these Terms of Use shall be brought in the appropriate state or federal court located in Fairfax County, Virginia; and that we both irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in Fairfax County, Virginia.
