We use a reasonable level of skill and care in the provision of our Services but there are certain things that we don’t guarantee.
Other than as expressly set out in this Agreement, or as may be otherwise agreed in a separate Service Level Agreement entered into in writing between us, neither we or our suppliers or distributors make any specific promises about the Services. For example, we don’t make any commitments about the content within the Services, the specific functions of the Services, or their reliability, availability, or ability to meet your needs. We provide the Services “as is”.
Some jurisdictions provide for certain warranties, like the implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all such warranties.
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, CUTTING ROOM DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THAT ANY CONTENT YOU MAY SUBMIT, STORE OR ACCESS THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO INADVERTENT DAMAGE, CORRUPTION, LOSS, OR REMOVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND CUTTING ROOM SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD SUCH DAMAGE, CORRUPTION, LOSS, OR REMOVAL OCCUR.
It is your own responsibility to maintain appropriate alternate backup of your information and data to your own computer or other device.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our suppliers and distributors, will not be responsible for lost profits, revenues, or data, financial losses or indirect, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total liability of Cutting Room, and its suppliers and distributors, for any claims under these terms, including for any implied warranties, is limited to the amount you have paid us to use the Services.
In all cases, we, and our suppliers and distributors, will not be liable for any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable.
We recognize that in some countries, you might have legal rights as a consumer. If you are using the Services for a personal purpose, then nothing in these terms or any additional terms limits any consumer legal rights which may not be waived by contract.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Cutting Room, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and attorneys harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to or use of the Services and/or the content you submit; (ii) your violation of these terms or the policies or agreements which are incorporated herein; and/or (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any intellectual property or other proprietary right. The indemnification obligations under this section shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement and/or your use of the Services.
If you are using our Services on behalf of a business (for example a company or partnership), that business accepts these terms. Such business will hold harmless and indemnify Cutting Room and its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from any claim, suit or action arising from or related to the use of the Services or violation of these terms, including any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages, suits, judgments, litigation costs and legal fees.
We reserve the right at any time to modify these terms, for example, to reflect changes to the law or changes to the Services. You should look at the terms regularly. We’ll post notice of changes to these terms on this page. Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner than seven days after they are posted. However, changes addressing new functions to our Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified terms, you should discontinue your use of the Services.
These terms control the relationship between you and Cutting Room. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights.
If you do not comply with these terms, and we don’t take action immediately, this doesn’t mean that we are waiving any rights that we may have and we shall retain the right to take action in the future.
If any particular term is found not to be enforceable, this will not affect any of the other terms in this Agreement.
This Agreement incorporates the following documents by reference: Cutting Room Privacy Policy.
This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and permitted assigns. You may not assign this Agreement without Cutting Room prior written consent. No third party shall have any rights hereunder.
The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall in their entirety be governed by Norwegian law.
