You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend OAP and its wholly owned subsidiaries, at your expense, any and all third-party claims, actions, proceedings, and suits brought against OAP or any of its members, officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, and all related liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses) incurred by OAP or any of its members, officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, arising out of or relating to (i) your breach of any term or condition of this Agreement, (ii) your fraudulent or malicious use of the Services, (iii) your violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with the Services.

THE SERVICE, THE SOFTWARE, THE REPORTS, AND ANY AND ALL RELATED AND ANCILLARY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, CLAIMS OR REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY OAP AND AFFILIATES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND REPORTS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NOR ARE THERE ANY WARRANTIES CREATED BY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USAGE. OAP DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES OR REPORTS WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS OR BE FREE FROM ERRORS, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FORMED THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE PRICE CHARGED FOR THE SERVICE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, SO THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
OAP WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIMANT FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA COLLECTED THROUGH THE SERVICE), OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON A CLAIM OR ACTION OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER TORT, BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY DUTY, INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION, OR OTHERWISE.
OAP does not guarantee the Service will be operable at all times or during any down time (1) caused by outages to any public Internet backbones, networks or servers, (2) caused by any failures of your equipment, systems or local access services, (3) for previously scheduled maintenance or (4) relating to events beyond OAP’s control such as strikes, riots, insurrection, fires, floods, explosions, war, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes, natural disasters, or interruptions in Internet services to an area where OAP’s servers are located or co-located. Complete accuracy in all aspects of your reports at all times also is not guaranteed.
If for any reason you are not 100% satisfied, you may cancel your account within the first 7 days and receive a full refund.
Further, the Customer acknowledges and accepts the risk that OAP may not succeed in suppressing all Internet content about the Customer if that is a goal of the campaign. The Customer also acknowledges and accepts the risk that OAP, may not succeed in effecting the suppression of any Internet content about the Customer.
No refunds shall be given by OAP for any reason outside of the 7-day satisfaction guarantee. Further, the Customer hereby acknowledges that the Company cannot and does not make any additional guarantees or warranties, and the Customer therefore understands that he or she foregoes the right to dispute credit card charges on the grounds that the Company has failed to deliver satisfactory services. The Customer further understands that, because the Company is an Internet-based business, the Company never actually takes physical possession of the customer’s credit card; the Customer acknowledges that, for this reason, the Company would normally have difficulty prevailing in credit card charge disputes with the Customer relative to a physically-based business. The Customer therefore foregoes his or her right to dispute the credit card charges he or she incurs with the Company outside of the 7-day satisfaction guarantee.
OAP reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement or any policy governing the Services provided to Customer, at any time, by posting the new agreement to the site (or such other URL as OAP may provide). You are responsible for regularly reviewing the Agreement and related documents. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of OAP or posted to the OAP website by a duly authorized representative of OAP.
MISCELLANEOUS, INTEGRATION, APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE
OAP shall be excused from performance hereunder to the extent that performance is prevented, delayed or obstructed by causes beyond its reasonable control. Among many other factors, our services depend heavily on privacy law in the United States, the various States and Territories, and other jurisdictions. The law can and will change in the future and such changes are outside the control of OAP. We cannot predict the impact of future changes in the law. Some legal changes, including but not limited to legislation or judicial interpretation, may render it more difficult or impossible for us to perform the services offered.
This Agreement (including any amendment agreed upon by the parties in writing) represents the complete agreement between us concerning its subject matter, and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between the parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
his Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of law principles. In the event of any conflicts between foreign law, rules, and regulations, and New York law, rules, and regulations, New York law, rules and regulations shall prevail and govern. Each party agrees to submit to the exclusive and personal jurisdiction of the State and Federal Courts located within New York. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall not apply to this Agreement.
A waiver of any default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. You may not assign or otherwise transfer any of Your rights hereunder without OAP’s prior written consent, and any such attempt is void. Thank you for having read our User Agreement.
