Disputes and Jurisdiction

Translation Commons is based in the United States. It is not designed, customized or intended for, or directed to, any other country. Those who choose to access, visit and/or use Translation Commons do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. We make no representation, warranty or guarantee that Translation Commons, or any merchandise, products, services, and/or Content available on or through Translation Commons are appropriate, available, or legal in any particular geographic location.

In any dispute between us, your sole remedy is to stop using your account/profile and/or Translation Commons, including without limitation cancelling any or all services. This includes any dispute related to or arising out of: (i) rules, restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions that apply to Translation Commons, whether listed in this User Agreement and Privacy Policy, posted at various points in Translation Commons, or otherwise communicated to you, including our enforcement, non-enforcement, or application of any such rules; (ii) any of our policies and/or practices, including our enforcement, non-enforcement, or application of any such policies and/or practices; (iii) any Content available on or through Translation Commons, or any edits, deletions, additions, or other changes thereto; (iv) your ability or inability to access, visit and/or use portions of Translation Commons, or Translation Commons as a whole, or features, functionality, and/or Content available on or through Translation Commons; or (v) the amount, type, and/or basis for determining any Fees, any changes thereto, or additional Fees.

You agree that in the event of any dispute between us, you will first contact us and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action. In the event of any court action, all disputes will be resolved individually, without resort to any class action, and you specifically waive your right to a trial by jury. Furthermore, you agree that any cause of action must commence within one (1) year after the underlying issue first arose; otherwise, you waive any right to bring such cause of action and such cause of action is permanently barred.

You agree that, regardless of where you access, visit and/or use Translation Commons, all issues concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of the Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and Nevada State, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws. Any disputes that result in court action will be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and you specifically consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any claim of forum non-conveniens. Should there be a conflict between the laws of Nevada and any other laws, the conflict will be resolved in favor of the laws of Nevada. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all judgments or awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket damages (excluding attorneys’ fees) and shall not include any indirect, punitive, incidental and/or consequential damages.

If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Agreement, or portion thereof, to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision or portion will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of the Agreement will continue to be valid and enforceable in full force and effect.

General

We reserve the right to post, from time to time, additional rules that apply to certain portions of Translation Commons, or Translation Commons as a whole. Such additional rules will be posted in the relevant portions of Translation Commons, and are hereby incorporated into the Agreement by this reference. Your continued access, visitation and/or use of Translation Commons constitutes your agreement to comply with these additional rules.

The rules, restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions that apply to Translation Commons, whether listed in this User Agreement and Privacy Policy, posted at various points in Translation Commons, or otherwise communicated to you, constitutes the Agreement and entire understanding between the parties, and supersedes prior agreements between the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Unless explicitly stated in writing by us, any new or additional features, functionality, or Content that augment or enhance Translation Commons, including the release of updates, upgrades, new products and/or services, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

Any delay or failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by us shall have effect unless such waiver is set forth in writing, signed by us; nor shall any such waiver of any breach or default constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

We may sub-license, transfer, sell or assign the Agreement, and/or any of our purported obligations hereunder, at any time to any person or entity, with or without notice. You may not sub-license, transfer, sell, or assign the Agreement at any time to any person or entity, and any attempt to do so will be null and void.
