You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Deftle, its parent legal entity,, officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the site and our services, or your violation of these Terms of Service.

This includes, but is not limited to: (i) your responsibilities or obligations under these Terms of Service; (ii) your violation of any third-party right, including any copyright, property, or privacy right; (iii) any claim that your content caused damage to a third party; (iv) any misrepresentation made by you; and (v) any breach of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by you herein.

Deftle reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify Deftle, and you agree to cooperate with Deftle's defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Deftle. Deftle will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

At Deftle, we expect our users to resolve any disagreements or disputes in a professional and amicable manner. However, should a dispute arise that involves the website or is due to the use of our services, this section outlines the process by which such disputes will be addressed and resolved.

This includes but is not limited to disputes between users and Deftle, legal jurisdiction, venue for disputes, and class action waiver. Please read the following subchapters carefully, as they have important legal implications.

In the event of a dispute arising between a user and Deftle, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the issue informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any formal proceedings. This informal negotiation period begins upon written notice from one party to the other.

Users should send their written notice, which includes a brief written statement explaining the name, address, and contact information of the party raising the dispute, the facts leading to the dispute, and the relief requested, to Deftle’s designated contact address listed in section 18 of this ToS.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through this informal process, either party may initiate formal proceedings in accordance with the terms outlined in sections 15.2 and 15.3.

All disputes arising out of or related to these Terms of Service, the Website, or any associated services, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.

Users and Deftle agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in San Francisco, California or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

The parties expressly agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial as set forth in section 15.3.

You and Deftle agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute, whether through a court of law or arbitration, will be conducted solely on an individual basis. You specifically agree not to sue Deftle as a class plaintiff or class representative, join as a class member, or participate as an adverse party in any way in a class-action lawsuit against Deftle regarding your use of its services.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial. This class action waiver provision will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent or affiliated companies of Deftle to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Website, and/or the provision of services, and/or your relationship with Deftle.

If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, including this Class Action Waiver, you should not continue your use of Deftle services. Nothing in this paragraph, however, limits your rights to bring a lawsuit as an individual plaintiff.

Deftle reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms of Service at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Website. While we will make every effort to provide notice of any significant changes, you are responsible for regularly reviewing the Terms of Service to ensure you are aware of any changes.

When we make significant changes, we will also revise the 'last updated' date at the bottom of these Terms of Service. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of changes will mean that you accept and agree to the changes. If you disagree with the changes to these Terms of Service, you should discontinue your use of the Website.

You understand and agree that your continued use of the Website after the Terms of Service have changed constitutes your acceptance of the Terms of Service as revised. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you should stop using the Website.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Service remain in full force and effect.

Waiver: No waiver of any term of these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Deftle's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Service or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms of Service, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms of Service at any time without notice to you.

Entire Agreement: These Terms of Service (and any additional terms, rules and conditions of participation in particular Services that Deftle may post on the Service) constitute the entire agreement between you and Deftle with respect to the Service and supersede any prior agreements, oral or written, between you and Deftle.

Survival: Upon termination of these Terms of Service, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration.
