AXORA TERMS OF USE

Please read these Terms of Use (these “Terms”) carefully. They contain important terms about your rights to use the website www.axora.com and the platform made available by Axora, as well as any subsequent versions (collectively, the “Platform”) and our obligations to you in relation to your Platform use.

These Terms are between you, as the individual using the Platform (or, if you are using the Platform on behalf of an organisation, that organisation) (“you”) and Axora Limited (“Axora” or “we” or “us”).

These Terms apply to your use of (including any access or posting to and downloading from) the Platform, including any materials and services available therein.

Depending on your intended use of the Platform, you may also be subject to Axora’s Seller User Contract Terms (if you are using the Platform to sell or license products).

By browsing our website and/or clicking or tapping any button or box marked “accept,” “agree” or “ok” (or a similar term) referencing these terms, you agree to be bound by these terms and affirm that you are an authorised representative of your organisation and that you are of legal age where you live and have the legal capacity to enter into these terms


1. YOUR RIGHTS
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, and for so long as you are permitted by Axora to use the Platform, you may view and use any portion of the Platform to which we provide you access under these Terms, solely in accordance with the functionality that we make available to you. You use the Platform at your own risk, and we make no representations or warranties that the Platform will be suitable for your intended use or any particular purpose.

2. CHANGES

2.1
We may change these Terms from time to time by informing you of such changes, by the means specified for notices in Section 17, at least two weeks before any change becomes effective. If you do not object to such changes becoming effective within that time period, your consent to such modification is deemed given.

When we inform you of changes to these Terms, we will also inform you about this effect of your silence. If you object to the modifications becoming effective, which you can do by following the procedure set out in Section 16, we may terminate these Terms with immediate effect. Also, your clicking or tapping any button or box marked “Accept,” “Agree” or “OK” (or a similar term) in connection with being notified about the change and a reviewable version of the new terms will constitute your acceptance of such changes.

The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when these Terms were last changed. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which the change becomes effective.

2.2 We may modify all or part of the Platform at any time. When making changes to the portion of the Platform used by you based on these Terms, we shall take into account your reasonable interests. A change is deemed reasonably acceptable for you in particular if it is necessary to adapt the Platform to reflect technological developments (in particular, information security developments), market requirements, as well as any changes in the applicable law, and in case of any new features, functions, or services added to the Platform. If a change to the Platform is not reasonably acceptable to you, you have the right to terminate these Terms, by ceasing to use the Platform.

2.3 At any time and without liability or prior notice, we may suspend or discontinue all or part of the Platform (including access to the Platform via any third-party links), or offer opportunities to some or all Platform users. We reserve the right to introduce new features or functionality for which the payment of fees may be required.

We make no representations as to the accuracy, validity, timeliness, completeness, reliability, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness or safety of any or all of the Resources and the Platform, or any intellectual property rights therein. Please seek the advice of professionals, as appropriate, regarding the evaluation of any User Content or Resources. Resources are subject to change at any time without notice.

We have no obligation to monitor Third Party Resources, and we may block or disable access to any Third Party Resources (in whole or part) through the Platform at any time. In addition, the availability of any Third Party Resources through the Platform does not imply our endorsement of, or our affiliation with, any provider of such Third Party Resources even if such Third Party Resources are marketed or distributed via the Platform or any of the other material provided by us, nor does such availability create any legal relationship between you and any such provider.

It is your responsibility to carry out your own investigations on third parties and Third Party Resources before proceeding with any transactions on, or using, such Third Party Resources.
