5. Limitation of Liability

Flout Labs services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by Irish and EU law, Flout Labs makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the reliability, accuracy, or availability of our services.

Flout Labs shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of or inability to use our services.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or your use of our services shall not exceed the amount you have paid to Flout Labs in the twelve months preceding the claim.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Flout Labs, its directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of our services, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

7. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland. Where applicable, EU regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU Consumer Rights Directive, shall also apply.

Any legal proceedings arising from these terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction require otherwise.

8. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute, we encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve the matter informally. Please reach out to [email protected] with a description of your concern, and we will make reasonable efforts to address it within 30 days.

If an informal resolution is not possible, disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Galway, Ireland. EU consumers may also be entitled to use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform.

9. Termination

Flout Labs reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to any of our services at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we determine violates these terms, is harmful to other users, or is otherwise objectionable.

You may stop using our services at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the services ceases immediately, though provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect.

Flout Labs reserves the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users via email or through our products.

Your continued use of Flout Labs services after any changes to these terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.
