We urge you to read our Disclaimers and Disclosures.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website and services are provided “as is,” “where is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Momiverse specifically disclaims any and all warranties, including, but not limited to: (i) any warranties concerning the availability, accuracy, appropriateness, reliability, timeliness, usefulness, or otherwise of the content of the Website or services; and (ii) any warranties of title, warranty of non-infringement, warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This disclaimer of liability applies to any damages or injury caused by the Website, including without limitation as a result of (1) any error, ommission, deletion or defect in the content, or (2) any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use of record, whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence, defamation or under any other cause of action. The Momiverse does not warrant or guarantee (1) that any portion of the Website will be free of infection by viruses, worms, trojan horses or anything else manifesting contaminating or destructive properties; or (2) that access to the Website will be uninterrupted or error-free. The Momiverse does not warrant or make any representations regarding the use or the results of the use of the materials in this Website. You (and not the Momiverse or any of its agents) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

Limitation of Liability

In no event will the Momiverse, its officers, directors, employees, agents, sponsors, advertisers, parents, affiliates, licensees, successors or assigns, be liable to any party (i) for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages or any other damages arising in any way out of the availability, use, reliance on, or inability to use the Website, even if the Momiverse or its agents shall have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise; or (ii) for any claim attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in, or destructive properties of the Website. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the Momiverse’s liability shall be limited to the extent permitted by law.

Indemnification

Upon a request by the Momiverse, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold the Momiverse, its affiliates, officers, directors and employees harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising in any way from your use or misuse of the Website or Services, or the uploading, posting, publishing, e-mailing, reproduction, distribution or transmission of any Content or other materials by you or users authorized by you or any violation of these Terms and Conditions by you. The Momiverse reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with the Momiverse in asserting any available defense.

Applicable Laws / Jurisdiction

You agree that the laws of the State of Arizona, excluding its conflicts-of-law rules, shall govern these Terms and Conditions. Please note that your use of the Website may be subject to other local, state, national, and international laws. You expressly agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute with the Momiverse or relating in any way to your use of the Website resides in the courts of the State of Arizona, and you further agree and expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction in the courts of the State of Arizona, in connection with any such dispute and including any claim involving the Momiverse or its affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors, telecommunication providers and content providers.

Any inquiries concerning these terms and conditions of use should be directed to us by email at info [at] theMomiverse [dot] com.

Provisions Unenforceable or Invalid

If any part of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

Assignment

You shall not transfer, assign, sublicense nor pledge in any manner whatsoever, any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement. The Momiverse may transfer, assign sublicense or pledge in any manner whatsoever, any of its rights and obligations under this agreement to a subsidiary, affiliate, or successor thereof or to any third party whatsoever, without notifying you or receiving your consent.
