This provision shall apply to prevent liability of HyperOffice for any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, exemplary, or consequential damages whether such action, claim, or suit is based on contract, negligence, tort, warranty, or otherwise (even if HyperOffice has been advised of the possibility of such damages). Such limitation of liability shall apply whether or not the damages arise, directly or indirectly from the use or misuse of, or reliance upon, the Products and Services; from the inability to use the Products and Services, including mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files, errors, defects, delays in operation, or any failure of performance not limited to acts of God, communication failure, theft, or destruction; or from the interruption, suspension, or termination of the Products and Services.

Termination and Cancellation.
Unless superseded by another agreement with HyperOffice, HyperOffice may immediately terminate, at any time and without notice and without penalty, your limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable right to use the Products and Services upon your breach of any provision of these Terms of Use.
Your cancellation of any agreement, whereby you have the right to use the
Products and Services, including your obligation to make timely payment of any
amount owed for the right to use the Products and Services and to adhere to
these Terms of Use, shall not be effective until you complete the cancellation
process through your HyperOffice account by logging into your account and
clicking on the "cancel account" button. No method, other than completion of
the cancellation process through your HyperOffice account shall be effective to
discontinue your obligation to make timely payment of any amount owed for the
right to use the Products and Services and to adhere to these Terms of Use.
If either HyperOffice terminates, or you cancel, your right to use the Products
and Services, HyperOffice shall have all the legally available rights and
privileges to receive any outstanding amount owed by you to HyperOffice. In
addition, if you are a party to a Reseller Agreement, HyperOffice shall have all
the legally available rights and privileges to receive directly from you any
outstanding amount owed by you to Reseller for your right to use the Products
and Services if (i) payment for your right to use the Products and Services has
not been made by you to Reseller; and (ii) Reseller has not effectuated payment
for your right to use the Products and Services to HyperOffice.
Refunds.
Under no circumstances shall you be eligible to receive reimbursement, in whole or in part, of any payment to HyperOffice unless the Products and Services were unable to be used as a result of uptime of the Products and Services below 99.9% for a certain thirty (30) day payment period. In this limited event, you shall be eligible to receive a pro rata (1/30th of the payment due on the payment date immediately subsequent to the date during which the Products and Services were unable to be used) reimbursement for each individual day during the thirty (30) day payment period for which the uptime of the Products and Services was below 99.9%. To qualify for a pro rata reimbursement of payment under this Section, you must notify HyperOffice in writing within seventy-two (72) hours of such inability to use Products and Services. HyperOffice, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether uptime of the Products and Services was below 99.9% for a certain thirty (30) day payment period.

These Terms of Use, including all questions concerning the validity, operation, interpretation, and construction of these Terms of Use, or any litigation or other legal action arising out of these Terms of Use, shall be brought in the proper state or federal courts of Virginia without regard to choice-of-laws rules or any conflict of laws provision if there is a dispute that cannot be amicably settled. HyperOffice will be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs incurred in enforcing these Terms of Use.
In the event that you, in good faith, believe that HyperOffice is not complying with these Terms of Use, and before any claim or cause of action arises for noncompliance, you are required to notify HyperOffice in writing giving sufficient particulars to enable HyperOffice to inquire into the matter and evaluate the alleged noncompliance.

The maximum liability of HyperOffice arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use shall not exceed the duty of HyperOffice to refund the fee paid by you to HyperOffice for the single thirty (30) day period during which the event giving rise to the alleged liability first began.
A breach by you of any of the provisions in these Terms of Use may result in irreparable and continuing harm to HyperOffice for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. You agree that the HyperOffice shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and/or specific performance regarding these Terms of Use and any other relief as may be appropriate (including monetary damages if applicable).
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court, judicial, or administrative body of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be held as if it had never existed, and the remainder of these Terms of Use, including all of the remaining provisions, will remain in full force and effect and will not be impaired, affected, or invalidated in any manner as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been included.
You shall be responsible for the payment of any and all sales, use, value added, or other taxes levied by any government against you in respect of these Terms of Use.
You represent that you are acting on your own behalf and are not acting as an agent for or on behalf of any third party.

Any unauthorized assignment, grant, or transfer, or attempted assignment, grant, or transfer of the Products and Services by you shall be deemed void. These Terms of Use shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of your successors, heirs, and assigns.
HyperOffice will not, by mere lapse of time, be deemed to have waived any breach or strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use by you or preclude any other or further exercise of any right or remedy set forth herein. Further, the waiver by HyperOffice of a particular breach of these Terms of Use will not be construed or constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or a waiver of the breach of the same or other provision of these Terms of Use.
The section and paragraph headings used within these Terms of Use are for convenience only and shall not be considered as substantive parts of these Terms of Use or used to interpret these Terms of Use. No rule resolving ambiguities against HyperOffice, as the drafter of these Terms of Use, shall be applied.
