This Agreement governs your use of the DoFlick Website
and access to the DoFlick Technology. This Agreement
does not modify, alter or amend any other agreement
you have entered or will enter into with DoFlick or
any of its related or affiliated entities. To the extent
that any provision of this Agreement or any supplemental
agreement offered as any part of any registration for
use of additional DoFlick Technology, conflicts with
any provision of your other agreements with DoFlick
or any of its related or affiliated entities, the terms
of such other agreement shall, as to the subject matter
of that other agreement, take precedence over the conflicting
term(s) of this Agreement.
20. GENERAL INFORMATION.
This Agreement, together with DoFlick’s Privacy
and Security Policy, constitutes the entire agreement
between you and DoFlick with respect to the subject
matter herein and governs your use of the DoFlick Technology,
superseding any prior agreements between you and DoFlick,
but this Agreement may be supplemented by any other
agreement you enter into with DoFlick pursuant to your
participation in other features of the DoFlick Website.
You further acknowledge and agree that you may not assign
any part of this Agreement without DoFlick’s prior
written consent, but DoFlick may assign any part of
this Agreement without restriction. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of each party’s successors
and assigns. DoFlick shall not be deemed to be in breach
of the Agreement and thereby liable to you or any third
party for any delays in the performance of its obligations
hereunder caused by fire, explosion, act of God, strikes,
war, riot, government regulation, bandwidth limitations,
Internet connectivity, or act or any other cause beyond
the reasonable control of DoFlick. The failure of DoFlick
to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right
or provision. If any provision of this Agreement 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 this Agreement shall 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 the use of the DoFlick Technology or this
Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such
claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
DoFlick reserves the right, at any time and at its sole
discretion, to update, revise or otherwise modify the
terms and conditions of the Agreement without notice
to you.
