To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, elitecraft shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

We provide our services and recommendations based on our professional expertise and industry knowledge. However, we make no warranties or guarantees regarding specific outcomes or results from implementing our recommendations.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Disclaimers and Warranties

Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. elitecraft makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to:

• The accuracy, reliability, or completeness of our services or content
• That our services will meet your specific requirements or expectations
• That our services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
• That any defects or errors will be corrected
• The quality of any products, services, or information obtained through our services

We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, the rapidly evolving nature of educational technology means that some information may become outdated. We recommend verifying current information directly with platform providers.

No advice or information obtained from elitecraft or through our services shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless elitecraft, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of and access to our services
• Your violation of any term of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights
• Any claim that your use of our services caused damage to a third party
• Your breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under these Terms

This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of our services.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of Austria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be brought exclusively in the courts of Austria, and the parties hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer under applicable consumer protection laws.

The parties agree to attempt to resolve any disputes through good faith negotiations before resorting to formal legal proceedings. If direct negotiations fail, the parties may consider alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms.

Termination

Either party may terminate service agreements with appropriate notice as specified in individual contracts. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to our services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to:

• Breach of these Terms or any service agreement
• Non-payment of fees when due
• Fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity
• Violation of intellectual property rights
• Any conduct that we believe is harmful to other users or our business

Upon termination, your right to use our services will cease immediately. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

Termination of services does not relieve you of any payment obligations incurred prior to termination.

We may also terminate inactive accounts or services that have not been used for an extended period, with reasonable notice where practical.

Force Majeure

elitecraft shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labour disputes, government actions, or technical failures of third-party systems.

In the event of a force majeure situation, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected clients and resume normal operations as soon as practically possible.

If a force majeure event continues for more than sixty (60) days, either party may terminate the affected service agreement with written notice.

Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect.

Material changes will be communicated through:

• Email notification to registered users
• Prominent notice on our website
• Direct communication for active service clients

Your continued use of our services after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop using our services.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.

Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be replaced by a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

These Terms, together with any service agreements, proposals, and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and elitecraft regarding the use of our services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous written or oral agreements.

No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms may not be assigned by you without our prior written consent, but may be assigned by elitecraft without restriction.
