We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to our Services and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether there is any repeat infringement or not. Enforcement of this section of the Terms is solely at our discretion, and failure to enforce this section in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in other instances. In addition, this section of the Terms does not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation that our Services will not contain any content that is prohibited by such rules.

User Accounts: To access certain areas of our Services, you may be required to register for an account. If you register for an account, you agree to provide accurate information and promptly update this information if it changes. You must also maintain the security of your account and promptly notify us if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your account without your permission. If you permit others to use your account credentials, you are responsible for the activities of such users that occur in connection with your account. We reserve the right to reclaim usernames, including on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim, including trademark rights, in those usernames.

Indemnification: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OBS, our officers, directors, agents, partners, employees, independent contractors, service providers, and consultants, and their respective directors, employees and agents, including, without limitation, Harper Law Offices, Inc., P.C., Joseph T.G. Harper, Joseph M. Vincent Ltd. P.C., and Joseph M. Vincent (individually and collectively, the “OBS Parties”), from and against any losses, claims, damages, demands, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Claims”) arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of our Services; (b) your User Content or Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct in connection with our Services.

You also agree that the OBS Parties will have control of the defense or settlement, at our sole option, of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and the OBS Parties.

Disclaimer: Except as expressly provided in writing by us, our Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not represent or warrant that our Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. While we attempt to make your use of our Services safe, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that our Services or its servers are free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of our Services.

Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the OBS Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, warranty or otherwise—for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or lost profits, even if we or the other OBS Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall our aggregate liability, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive, or imputed), product liability, strict liability, or other theory, arising out of or relating to these Terms exceed the greater of any compensation you pay, if any, us for access to or use of our Services, or fifty dollars ($50.00). The limitations set forth in this section of the Terms will not limit or exclude liability for our or the other OBS Parties’ gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct, or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Modifying and Terminating Services: We reserve the right to modify our Services or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of our Services at any time. You also have the right to stop using our Services at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.

Governing Law and Venue: Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of our Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Washington state, except to the extent preempted by United States federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of Washington state or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms will be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Pierce County, Washington, and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these Terms.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Miscellaneous: Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights on any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between you and OBS may be conducted electronically.

First and foremost, we DO NOT sell your personal information. However, when you visit or interact with our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, we or our authorized service providers may use cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to make your experience better, faster, and safer, for advertising purposes and to allow us to continuously improve our sites, services, applications, and tools. Any personal information or data collected by these technologies is used only by us or by our authorized service providers on our behalf, and you always have full control over whether these technologies work on your devices.

You are in control. Other than for those that are considered “essential” (more on that below), if you do not wish to accept these technologies in connection with your visit to or use of our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, you may exercise options that are described below.

What are cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies? These technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device (“collectively, a “device”) that allows us to record information when you visit or interact with our websites, service, applications, messaging, and other tools. Though often these technologies are generically referred to as “Cookies,” each functions slightly differently, and is better explained below:

Cookies: Cookies are small (often encrypted) text files placed in the memory of your browser or device when you visit a website or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. There are several types of cookies:

• Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session and allow us to link your actions during that browser session.
• Persistent cookies are stored on your device in between browser sessions, allowing us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites.
• First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time to preserve your settings (e.g., while on our site).
• Third-party cookies are placed in your browser by a website, or domain, that is not the website or domain that you are currently visiting. If a user visits a website and      another entity sets a cookie through that website this would be a third-party cookie.

Cookies are used for a variety of purposes on our website. As an example, we use cookies to store information that allows us to present our site in your local language, or prices in local currency. We also use cookies to communicate data to our servers when you visit, allowing you to stay logged in to your account during your visit or maintain the site preferences you select. Preventing your browser from accepting first-party cookies will prevent the placement of some cookies that are classified as “essential.”

Web beacons: A web beacon (also called “tracking pixels” or “image tags”) is a small file (most often a transparent, 1x1 GIF file) that may be loaded on our web pages. These pixels may work in concert with cookies to collect information about your visit, your web browser/device, browsing activity, or onsite behavior and provide that information to service providers. Pixels are commonly used to collect anonymous traffic metrics (page visits, button clicks, order completion) used to analyze site performance.

Scripts: A script is a small piece of website code placed on our websites to power customer service tools like live chat, allow for the delivery of video tutorials, and allow us to provide interactive experiences to visitors. They are also used to collect data that we use for website analytics, or to provide data on the effectiveness of our advertising.

Similar technologies: There are other technologies that store information in your browser or device utilizing local shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other web application software methods. These technologies can operate across all your browsers. In some instances, these technologies may not be fully managed by your browser and may require management directly through your installed applications or device. We do not use these technologies for storing information to target advertising to you on or off our sites.

What technologies do we use and why
Our cookies, web beacons and similar technologies serve various purposes, but generally they (1) are necessary or essential to the functioning of our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, (2) help us improve the performance of or provide you extra functionality of the same, (3) help us to serve relevant and targeted advertisements, or (4) allow us to offer support tools that you utilize to interact with our care guides:

Strictly Necessary or Essential: "Strictly necessary" or “essential” cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies let you move around the website and use essential features like secure areas and shopping baskets. Without these technologies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. Please note that these technologies do not gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet. Accepting these technologies is a condition of using our sites, services, applications, tools, or messaging, so if you utilize tools that might prevent these from loading, we cannot guarantee your use or how the security therein will perform during your visit.

Performance: Performance technologies may include first or third-party cookies, web beacons/pixels, and scripts placed to gather information about how you use our website (pages you visit, if you experience any errors, load times). These cookies do not collect any information that could identify you and are only used to help us improve how our website works, understand the interests of our users, and measure how effective our content is by providing anonymous statistics and data regarding how our website is used.

Advertising: Advertising technology may include first or third-party cookies, web beacons/pixels, and scripts placed to gather information on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, deliver personalized content, or to generate data that allows for the delivery of advertising relevant to your specific interests on our sites, as well as third-party websites. We also utilize 3rd party service providers to assist us in delivering on the same functions, which means that our authorized service providers may also place cookies, web beacons and similar technologies on your device via our services (first- and third-party cookies). They may also collect information that helps them identify your device, such as IP address, or other unique or device identifiers.

Support: Support technologies may include first or third-party cookies, web beacons / pixels, and scripts placed to provide tools for you to interact with our customer support teams. This technology allows us to provide chat services, gather customer feedback, and other tools used to support our visitors. Data collected for these purposes is never used for marketing or advertising purposes.

How to manage, control and delete these technologies

You may block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies), it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our website or service. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit our site. Please note, as further described in our Privacy Policy, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser.

Internet browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your internet browser. To understand these settings, the following links may be helpful. Otherwise, you should use the 'Help' option in your internet browser for more details.

We may also collect personal information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through the Services. For example, we may use information from LinkedIn to update information about you in our contact database. 

Personal Information We Derive

We may derive information or draw inferences about you based on the other types of personal information we collect.

In its 10-K Annual Report filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission for the period ending December 31, 2020, GoDaddy represented that it has data center locations in the United Stated in the states of Arizona, California, Missouri, Virginia, and New York, as well as international data center locations in the countries of France, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.) While in another jurisdiction for processing, your personal information may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities of that jurisdiction. These jurisdictions may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

GoDaddy.com, LLC is responsible for the processing of personal information it receives, under each Privacy Shield Framework, and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. GoDaddy.com, LLC, complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal information from the EU and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions.
