Arbitration
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this TOS, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding individual (not class) arbitration administered under the laws of India for Dispute Resolution in effect on the date of the commencement of arbitration rather than in court. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. The place of arbitration shall be the state and county of Mumbai. The language of the arbitration shall be English. There shall be one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Each party shall bear its costs in the arbitration. Both parties agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack) (iii) any claim arising solely from Customer’s alleged failure to pay fees due to Pichunt. This arbitration provision will survive the termination of this TOS.

YOU AND PICHUNT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and Pichunt agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. You and Pichunt acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable disputes under this TOS.

If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the limitations then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. Neither party may assign this agreement, without the prior written approval of the other party, except that Pichunt may assign this agreement to a subsidiary, an affiliated company within the Pichunt group, the entity that results from a merger or other corporate reorganization involving Pichunt, or an entity that acquires all or substantially all of Pichunt's assets or capital stock. This TOS shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather by the fair meaning of the language hereof. This TOS is governed by and shall be construed by the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

If you enter this TOS on behalf of your employer or other entity, you warrant and represent that you have the full right and authority to do so. If you do not have such authority, you agree that you will be personally liable to Pichunt for any breaches of the terms of this TOS. You hereby grant Pichunt a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited license to use your trademarks in Pichunt's promotional materials, including a public customer list. Pichunt's use of your trademarks shall at all times conform to your then-current trademark use policies as made available to Pichunt and shall at all times inure to your benefit. Pichunt further agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate any particular use of your trademark no later than thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by Pichunt of your email request to contact@pichunt.tech

The number of Content downloads available to you is determined by the product you purchase. For this TOS, a day is defined as the twenty-four (24) hour period beginning when your product is purchased. A month is defined as a calendar month beginning on and including the date you purchase your product and ending on that date which is the earlier of (i) the same date as your purchase in the following month or (ii) the last day of the following month. For example, if you purchase a subscription on March 5, it will renew on April 5. If you purchase a monthly subscription on August 31, your subscription will renew on September 30.

Unless otherwise specified in the coupon, any coupon or discount code applied to a purchase hereunder shall apply only to the first payment made with such purchase. Suppose any individual term of this TOS is invalid or unenforceable by any legal or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction. In that case, such finding will be limited solely to such invalid or unenforceable part, without affecting the remaining parts of such individual term or any other part of this TOS, so that this TOS shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

You expressly agree that any feedback provided by Pichunt or its representatives regarding any questions you may have about this TOS or your use of Content licensed hereunder is solely to interpret this TOS and is not legal advice. Pichunt cannot render legal advice to you and expressly disclaims any liability related to any feedback provided by Pichunt, its representatives, or its partnered sites.

It is expressly understood and agreed that this TOS is entered into solely for the mutual benefit of the parties herein and that it intends no benefits, rights, duties, or obligations to third parties.

Pichunt shall be under no obligation to refund any fees paid by you if your account is terminated because of a breach.

Neither Pichunt nor any of its officers, partnered sites, employees, managers, members, shareholders, directors, or suppliers shall be liable to you or any other person or entity for any general, punitive, special, indirect, consequential, or incidental damages, or lost profits or any other damages, costs or losses arising out of your use of the Content, Pichunt's suggested breach of this agreement, or otherwise, unless expressly provided for herein, even if Pichunt has been advised of the possibility of such damages, costs or losses.
