GLIF Terms of Service

Date of Last Revision: March 8th, 2023

Acceptance of These Terms of Service

GLIF Ltd. (“GLIF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a website-hosted user interface (the “Interface”) for accessing GLIF Pools, a decentralized protocol on the Filecoin blockchain for deploying, managing, and upgrading custom Filecoin staking pools (the “Protocol”), and certain Filecoin tools and applications built by GLIF (“Applications”) through our website located at https://glif.io (the “Site”) and through our related technologies (the Interface, Protocol, Applications, Site and such technology, including any updated or new features, functionality and technology, collectively, the “Service”). All access and use of the Service is subject to the terms and conditions contained in these Terms of Service (as amended from time to time, these “Terms of Service”). By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site, the Interface, or any other aspect of the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company, business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to this Agreement, in which case the terms “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity and its affiliates. If you do not accept the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, you will not access, browse, or otherwise use the Service.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service at any time. If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these Terms of Service were last revised. You may read a current, effective copy of these Terms of Service by visiting the “Terms of Service” link on the Site. We will also notify you of any material changes, either through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. You should periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Service so you are aware of any revisions. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Service, you will not access, browse, or use (or continue to access, browse, or use) the Service.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONTAIN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS. THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE REQUIRES (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) THAT YOU SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION, AND FURTHER (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST GLIF ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, (2) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND (3) YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US RESOLVED BY A JURY OR IN A COURT OF LAW.

Your Privacy: At GLIF, we respect the privacy of our users. For more information please see our Privacy Policy, located at https://glif.io?privacy=1 (the “Privacy Policy”). By using the Service, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of personal data and other data as outlined therein.

Additional Terms: In addition, when using certain features through the Service, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such features that may be posted on or within the Service from time to time. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.

Access and Use of the Service

Legal Compliance: To access or use the Service, you must be able to form a legally binding contract with us. Accordingly, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (e.g., eighteen years old) and have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and comply with these Terms of Service on behalf of yourself and any company or legal entity for which you may access or use the Service. You further represent that you are not a citizen, resident, or member of any jurisdiction or group that is subject to economic sanctions by the United States, or where your use of the Service would be illegal or otherwise violate any applicable law.

Noncustodial: In order to access or use the Service, including the Protocol or Applications, you may be required to connect your digital wallet (e.g. MetaMask) or hardware wallet (e.g. Ledger) as allowed on the Service. GLIF will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of a wallet in a manner not supported or allowed on the Service. GLIF does not have possession, custody or control over any digital assets appearing on the Service, your digital or physical wallet, or any of your funds. You understand that when you interact with the Service, you retain control over your digital assets and wallet, including the private keys for such wallet. You alone are responsible for securing your private keys. GLIF does not have access to your private keys and does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet nor the ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. Due to the noncustodial and decentralized nature of the Service, we are not intermediaries, agents, advisors, or custodians, and we do not have a fiduciary relationship or obligation to you regarding any decisions or activities that you engage in when using our Service.

Modifications to Service: GLIF reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that GLIF will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

If you are blocked by GLIF from accessing the Service (including by blocking your IP address), you agree not to implement any measures to circumvent such blocking (e.g., by masking your IP address or using a proxy IP address or virtual private network).

Commercial Use: Unless otherwise expressly authorized herein or in the Service, you agree not to display, distribute, license, perform, publish, reproduce, duplicate, copy, create derivative works from, modify, sell, resell, grant access to, transfer, or otherwise use or exploit any portion of the Service for any commercial purposes. The Service is for your personal use.

Ownership; Restrictions: The technology and software underlying the Service or distributed in connection therewith are the property of GLIF, its affiliates, and its licensors (the “Software”). You agree not to copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, or otherwise transfer any right in the Software. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by GLIF.

Special Notice for International Use; Export Controls: GLIF is headquartered in the United States. Whether inside or outside of the United States, you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with the laws of your specific jurisdiction. Software available in connection with the Service and the transmission of applicable data, if any, is subject to United States export controls. No Software may be downloaded from the Service or otherwise exported or re-exported in violation of U.S. export laws. Downloading, accessing or using the Software or Service is at your sole risk.

No Professional Advice and No Fiduciary Duties

The information on the Site and any information provided in connection with the Service are provided for informational purpose only and do not constitute, and should not be construed as, investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, transfer, or otherwise transact in any digital asset or engage in any digital asset trading strategy, including in conjunction with GLIF Pools or an invitation, offer or solicitation to engage in any investment activity or trading strategy with respect to any digital asset.

The information on the Site and any information provided in connection with the Service are provided solely on the basis that you will make your own investment and trading decisions, and GLIF does not and will not take account of your or any other person's individual investment objectives, particular needs and circumstances, or financial situation. In addition, nothing on this Site or any information provided in connection with the Service shall, or is intended to, constitute financial, legal, accounting or tax advice. It is strongly recommended that you seek professional investment, legal, accounting and tax advice before making any investment decision. Any investment decision that you make should be based on an assessment of your risks in consultation with your own professional advisers.

The digital assets about which information is provided on the Site and any information provided in connection with the Service are not viewed by the issuer or sponsor of any such digital assets, or those buying or selling the digital asset, as securities under U.S. laws or relevant applicable laws. As a result it is unlikely that fulsome disclosures from the issuer or sponsor, or any executive officer associated with the digital asset or related protocol have been provided, and others may have better or more information than the information made available to you via the Site or the Interface, any information provided in connection with the Service or to which you may independently have access.

There are risks associated with purchasing, holding, or transferring digital assets and engaging in digital asset trading and lending strategies, including in conjunction with the Protocol. Loss of the full amount of your principal investment is possible. Volatility is highly likely, and some of the protocols and platforms, including the Protocol and Service, may fail entirely due to forking, flaws in the code, smart contract exploits or vulnerabilities, hacking or other malicious attacks.

THE ABOVE TERMS AND ANY ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN DO NOT REPRESENT A COMPLETE STATEMENT OF RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DIGITAL ASSETS OR TRADING STRATEGIES THAT MAY BE VIEWED, TRACKED, OR PURSUED ON THE SITE OR THROUGH THE INTERFACE OR THAT MAY BE FEATURED OR DISCUSSED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THESE RISK WARNINGS CAREFULLY AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ADVICE BEFORE TAKING ANY DECISION TO PURCHASE, TRADE, TRANSFER, TRANSACT OR OTHERWISE INTERACT WITH RESPECT TO A DIGITAL ASSET.

These Terms of Service are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in these Terms of Service.

Intellectual Property Rights

Except as expressly authorized by GLIF, you agree not to modify, copy, frame, scrape, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service or the Service Content, in whole or in part, except that the foregoing does not apply to your own User Content (as defined below) that you upload to or make available through the Service in accordance with these Terms of Service. Any use of the Service or the Service Content other than as specifically authorized herein is strictly prohibited.

Trademarks: The GLIF name and logos are trademarks and service marks of GLIF (collectively the “GLIF Trademarks”). Other GLIF, product, and service names and logos used and displayed via the Service may be trademarks or service marks of their respective owners who may or may not endorse or be affiliated with or connected to GLIF. Nothing in these Terms of Service or the Service should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any of GLIF Trademarks displayed on the Service, without our prior written permission in each instance. All goodwill generated from the use of GLIF Trademarks will inure to our exclusive benefit.

Third-Party Material: Under no circumstances will GLIF be liable in any way for any content or materials of any third parties (including users), including for any errors or omissions in any content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any such content. You acknowledge that GLIF does not pre-screen content, but that GLIF and its designees will have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or remove any content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, GLIF and its designees will have the right to remove any content that violates these Terms of Service or is deemed by GLIF, in its sole discretion, to be otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such content.

User Content: You represent and warrant that you own all right, title and interest in and to such User Content, including all copyrights and rights of publicity contained therein. You hereby grant GLIF and its affiliates, successors and assigns a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable (directly and indirectly through multiple tiers), perpetual, and irrevocable license to copy, display, upload, perform, distribute, store, modify, and otherwise use your User Content in connection with the operation of the Service and the promotion, advertising or marketing of the foregoing in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed. You assume all risk associated with your User Content and the transmission of your User Content, and you have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, legality and appropriateness of your User Content.

You hereby authorize GLIF and its third-party service providers to derive statistical and usage data relating to your use of the Service (“Usage Data”). We may use Usage Data for any purpose in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

Your access and use of the Third-Party Services may also be subject to additional terms and conditions, privacy policies, or other agreements with such third party, and you may be required to authenticate to or create separate accounts to use Third-Party Services on the websites or via the technology platforms of their respective providers. Some Third-Party Services will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to third parties, including through such Third-Party Services, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For more information about the implications of activating Third-Party Services and our use, storage and disclosure of information related to you and your use of such Third-Party Services within the Service, please see our Privacy Policy. GLIF has no control over and is not responsible for such Third-Party Services, including for the accuracy, availability, reliability, or completeness of information shared by or available through Third-Party Services, or on the privacy practices of Third-Party Services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the third parties providing Third-Party Services prior to using such services. You, and not GLIF, will be responsible for any and all costs and charges associated with your use of any Third-Party Services.

Any dealings you have with third parties while using the Service are between you and the third party. GLIF will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any Third-Party Services.

To the extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GLIF, its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, employees, directors, service providers, licensors, and agents (collectively, the “GLIF Parties”) from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind, and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, any User Content, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms of Service, or your violation of any rights of another. GLIF will provide notice to you of any such claim, suit, or proceeding. GLIF reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section, and you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting GLIF's defense of such matter. You may not settle or compromise any claim against the GLIF Parties without GLIF's written consent.

You expressly agree that you assume all risks in connection with your access and use of the Service, including your interaction with the Protocol and/or Applications. You further expressly waive and release us from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, or damages arising from or in any way relating to your use of the Service, including your interaction with the Protocol and/or Applications. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or releasing party.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

Disclaimer of Warranties

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. THE GLIF PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT THE MARKETS FOR DIGITAL ASSETS ARE HIGHLY VOLATILE DUE TO VARIOUS FACTORS, INCLUDING ADOPTION, SPECULATION, TECHNOLOGY, SECURITY, AND REGULATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THAT THE COST AND SPEED OF TRANSACTING WITH CRYPTOGRAPHIC AND BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SYSTEMS SUCH AS FILECOIN ARE VARIABLE AND MAY INCREASE DRAMATICALLY AT ANY TIME. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THE RISK THAT YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF THEIR VALUE OR MAY BE LOST WHILE THEY ARE SUPPLIED TO THE PROTOCOL OR APPLICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERFACE, YOU MAY SUFFER LOSS DUE TO THE FLUCTUATION OF PRICES OF TOKENS IN A TRADING PAIR OR LIQUIDITY POOL OR AS A RESULT OF DEFAULT OR NON-PAYMENT BY OTHERS WHO BORROW LIQUIDITY FROM THE PROTOCOL, AND/OR EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT PRICE SLIPPAGE AND COST. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE RETURNS FROM DEPLOYING DIGITAL ASSETS TO ANY PARTICULAR STAKING OR LENDING POOL ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND MAY VARY OR BE NEGATIVE. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ANYONE CAN CREATE A TOKEN, INCLUDING FAKE VERSIONS OF EXISTING TOKENS AND TOKENS THAT FALSELY CLAIM TO REPRESENT PROJECTS, AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THE RISK THAT YOU MAY MISTAKENLY TRADE THOSE OR OTHER TOKENS. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THESE VARIABLES OR RISKS, AND CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY RESULTING LOSSES THAT YOU EXPERIENCE WHILE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE. ACCORDINGLY, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL OF THE RISKS OF ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE INTERFACE TO INTERACT WITH THE PROTOCOL OR APPLICATIONS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

  1. Agreement to Arbitrate

    This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and GLIF, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and GLIF are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

  2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

    YOU AND GLIF AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND GLIF AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

  3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

    GLIF is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by emailing customer support at[email protected]. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to GLIF should be sent to Poinciana House, West Mall & Poinciana Drive, Freeport, Bahamas (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If GLIF and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or GLIF may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by GLIF or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or GLIF is entitled.

  4. Arbitration Procedures

    Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, https://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA's consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

    Unless GLIF and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, GLIF agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

  5. Costs of Arbitration

    Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent any Arbitration Fees are not specifically allocated to either GLIF or you under the AAA Rules, GLIF and you shall split them equally; provided that if you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of such Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of any Arbitration Fees, GLIF will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, GLIF will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys' fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

  6. Confidentiality

    All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

  7. Severability

    If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.

  8. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement

    Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, GLIF agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending GLIF written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).

Termination

You agree that GLIF, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your use of the Service for any reason, including if GLIF believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. GLIF may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice. Further, you agree that GLIF will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

User Disputes

You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service, and GLIF will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. GLIF reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.

General

These Terms of Service (together with the terms incorporated by reference herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and GLIF governing your access and use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements between you and GLIF with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use Third-Party Services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and GLIF submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. The failure of GLIF to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of GLIF, but GLIF may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in these Terms of Service, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service. GLIF will not be in default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or causes beyond GLIF's reasonable control.
