4. Third Party Services And Sites, User Content and Soarsilk Specialists

and products. Examples of Third Party Services include our domain registrar, social media
platforms, Soarsilk Specialists (as defined below), eCommerce Payment Processors (as defined
below), stock images and email service subscriptions for sale via the Services and other
integration partners and service providers.
These Third Party Services may have their own terms and policies, and your use of them will be
governed by those terms and policies. We don't control Third Party Services, and we’re not
liable for Third Party Services or for any transaction you may enter into with them, or for what
they do. Your security when using Third Party Services is your responsibility. You also agree
that we may, at any time and in our sole discretion, and without any notice to you, suspend,
disable access to or remove any Third Party Services. We’re not liable to you for any such
suspension, disabling or removal, including without limitation for any loss of profits, revenue,
data, goodwill or other intangible losses you may experience as a result (except where
prohibited by applicable law).
4.2. Third Party Sites. The Services may contain links to third party sites. When you access
third party sites, you do so at your own risk. We don’t control and aren’t liable for those
sites and what those third parties do.

(a) that is offensive or objectionable; (b) that contains errors; (c) that violates intellectual
property, trade secret, privacy, publicity or other rights or the good name of you or third
parties; (d) that is harmful to your or others’ computers or networks; (e) that is unlawful or
illegal; or (f) the downloading, copying or use of which is subject to additional terms and
policies of third parties or is protected by intellectual property, trade secret, privacy or
other laws. By operating the Services, we don’t represent or imply that we endorse your or other
users’ User Content, or that we believe such User Content to be accurate, useful, lawful or
non-harmful. We’re not a publisher of, and we’re not liable for, any User Content uploaded,
posted, published or otherwise made available via the Services by you or other users. You're
responsible for taking precautions to protect yourself, and your computer or network, from User
Content accessed via the Services.

US and foreign laws. This Agreement doesn't grant you any right, title or interest in the

or otherwise create derivative works of the Services or others’ User Content.

including without limitation text, photos, images, graphics, audio and video (“Demo Content”),
to provide you with ideas or inspiration. Unless we tell you otherwise, Demo Content (or any
portion of it) may not remain on Your Site or be distributed, publicly displayed, publicly
performed or otherwise published.
5.4. Our Betas Are Still In Beta. We may release products and features that we’re still testing
and evaluating. Those Services will be marked as beta, preview or early access (or a similar
phrasing), and may not be as reliable as our other Services.
6. Our Rights
6.1. Important Things We Can Do. We reserve these rights, which we may exercise at any time and
in our sole discretion, and without liability or notice to you (except where prohibited by
applicable law): (a) we may change parts or all of the Services and their functionality; (b) we
may suspend or discontinue parts or all of the Services; (c) we may terminate, suspend, restrict
or disable your access to or use of parts or all of the Services; (d) we may terminate, suspend,

change our eligibility criteria to use the Services (and if such eligibility criteria changes
are prohibited by law where you live, we may revoke your right to use the Services in that
jurisdiction).
6.2. How We Handle Ownership Disputes. Sometimes, ownership of an Account or site is disputed
between parties, such as a business and its employee, or a web designer and a client. We try not
to get involved in these disputes. However, we reserve the right, at any time and in our sole
discretion, and without notice to you, to determine rightful Account or site ownership and to
transfer an Account or site to such owner. Our decision in that respect is final. If we feel
that we can’t reasonably determine the rightful owner, we reserve the right to suspend an
Account or site until the disputing parties reach a resolution. We also may request
documentation, such as a government-issued photo ID, credit card invoice or business license, to
help determine the rightful owner.
6.3. HTTPS Encryption. We may offer HTTPS encryption for Your Sites. By registering a custom
domain via the Services, or pointing a custom domain to the Services, you authorize us to create
and maintain a certificate for the limited purpose of providing HTTPS for Your Sites.
6.4. Illegal Content. We reserve the right to refuse and or remove a site that hosts or
promotes illegal content at our discretion. If you believe that your site has been removed
without basis or by mistake, you can appeal by reaching out to the Soarsilk team via
support@soarsilkcom.
7. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share your personal information for our own
purposes. Be sure to read it carefully, but note it is not part of this Agreement and can
change. It is really important that you comply with data protection laws when using the
services, such as when you collect others’ personal information or use cookies or similar
technologies (including those we drop for you at your request, such as for web analytics).
7.1. Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you confirm that you have read and understood our
Privacy Policy. However, it is not a contractual document and does not form part of this
Agreement and we may change it from time to time.
7.2. You Must Comply With Data Protection, Security And Privacy Laws. You agree and warrant
that you are solely responsible when using Your Sites or the Services for complying with
applicable data protection, security and privacy laws and regulations (including, where
applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the EU e-Privacy
Directive/Regulation), including any notice and consent requirements. This includes without
limitation the collection and processing by you of any personal data, when you use Your Sites
and the Services to send marketing and other electronic communications to individuals and when
using cookies and similar technologies on Your Sites (including, in particular, those which we
place for you at your request as part of the Services, such as to undertake analytics for you).
7.2.1. Privacy Policies. If applicable law requires, you must provide and make available to
your End Users on Your Sites a legally compliant privacy policy.
7.2.2. Cookies And Similar Technologies. If applicable law requires, you must provide and make
available to your End Users on Your Sites a legally compliant cookie policy. You must capture
valid consent, both for you and us, for any cookies or similar technologies used on or through
Your Site (including those we drop on your request or with your permission) where required,
including, where applicable, by the EU e-Privacy Directive/Regulation and under national laws
implementing the same.
7.4. Protect And Improve The Services. You agree that we may protect and improve our Services
through analysis of your use of the Services, your End Users’ use of Your Sites and/or analysis
of your and your End Users’ personal information in anonymized, pseudonymized, de-personalized
and/or aggregated form. If applicable law requires, you should explain this in your privacy
policy. See our Privacy Policy for more information about how and what we do in this regard.
8. Copyright
We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that you do too. We respond to notices
of alleged copyright infringement if they comply with the law, and such notices should be
reported via info@Soarsilk.com. We reserve the right to delete or disable content alleged to be
infringing, and to terminate Accounts of repeat infringers without any refunds.
9. Paid Services And Fees
9.1. Fees. You can access certain portions of the Services by submitting a fee payment (such
additional services, “Paid Services”). Paid Services will remain in effect until cancelled or
terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Fees for Paid services can include but not limited
to various Subscription fees, Translation Services, Audit Reports as well as variable cost based
on usage in accordance to the fees disclosed in the Subscription package that you have
subscribed to. We’ll tell you about fees for Paid Services before charging you. You may cancel
Paid Services at any time via the Services. If you don't pay for Paid Services on time, we
reserve the right to suspend or cancel your access to the Paid Services. Transaction fees and
additional fees may also apply to certain portions of the Services, and we’ll tell you about
those fees before charging you. Our fees will appear on an invoice that we provide via the
Services, within your eCommerce Payment Processor account(s) and/or on a mobile app store
invoice, unless otherwise indicated. Please note that different Paid Services have different
fees and payment schedules, and canceling one Paid Service may not cancel all your Paid
Services.
9.2. Taxes. All fees are exclusive of applicable national, provincial, state, local or other
taxes (“Taxes”), unless explicitly stated otherwise. You're responsible for all applicable
Taxes, and we'll charge Taxes in addition to the fees for the Services when required to do so.
If you're exempt from Taxes, you must provide us with valid tax exemption documentation. We
reserve the right to determine if the documentation provided is valid. Tax exemption will,
provided we’re satisfied it's valid and applicable, only apply from and after the date we
receive such documentation. If Soarsilk has a legal obligation to pay or collect indirect Taxes
(such as value-added tax or goods and services tax) on the sale to you under the laws of your
country (where you are established, have a permanent address or usually reside), you shall be
liable for payment of any such indirect Taxes. Where Soarsilk does not have a legal obligation to
pay or collect indirect Taxes on a sale of Paid Services to you, you may be required to
self-assess those Taxes under the applicable laws of your country (where you are established,
have a permanent address or usually reside).
9.3. Automatic Subscription Renewals. To ensure uninterrupted service, we'll automatically bill
you for certain Paid Services from the date you submit your initial payment and on each renewal
period afterwards until cancellation. Your renewal period will be equal in time to the renewal
period of your current subscription. For example, if you're on a monthly subscription plan, each
billable renewal period will be for one (1) month. We’ll automatically charge you the applicable
amount using the payment method you have on file with us. We’ll let you know in advance if
you’re purchasing a Paid Service that includes auto-renewal payments. You can disable
auto-renewal at any time via the Services.
9.4. Refunds. While you may cancel any Paid Services at any time, you won't be issued a refund
except in our sole discretion, or if legally required. Your plan may qualify for a paid trial in
which case you can first try out our Paid Services prior to a full Paid Service subscription.
Please note that applicable statutory rights of cancellation will not result in a refund.
9.5. Fee Changes. We may change our fees at any time. We’ll provide you with advance notice of
these fee changes via the Services. New fees will not apply retroactively. If you don't agree
with the fee changes, you have the right to reject the change by canceling the applicable Paid
Service before your next payment date.
9.6. Chargebacks. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline, chargeback or
otherwise reverse the charge of any payable fees to us (“Chargeback”), we may automatically
terminate your Account. If you have questions about a payment made to us, we encourage you to
contact Customer Care or info@Soarsilk.com before filing a Chargeback. We reserve our right to
dispute any Chargeback.
9.7. Our Payment Processor. We use a third party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to
bill you through a payment account linked to your Account. The processing of payments will be
subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor, in addition to
this Agreement. Our current Payment Processor is Stripe, and your payments are processed by
Stripe in accordance with Stripe’s terms of service and privacy policy. You agree to pay us,
through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any purchase in
accordance with the applicable payment terms. You agree to make payment using the payment method
you provide with your Account. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our Payment
Processor to correct, any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or
received.
9.8. Fees For Third Party Services. Third Party Services purchased via the Services may be
subject to different refund policies that those Third Party Services determine, and they may be
non-refundable. The purchase terms and conditions for such Third Party Services may be displayed
during the purchase process, such as through a link to the purchase terms and conditions. It's
your responsibility to verify your ability to purchase, cancel or obtain a refund for a Third
Party Service. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, we don’t offer refunds for purchases
of Third Party Services.
9.9. Scope of Services. When we Soarsilk a site, it is typically for a single domain name, or
second-level domain, for example: website.com, or the commonly used subdomain: www.website.com.
Soarsilk will not apply to any subdomains, for example: portal.website.com, or
members.website.com, unless otherwise notified and explicitly agreed.
9.10 Changing your plan. You have the option to upgrade your plan at any time. For more, please
visit the Soarsilk Help Centre.
10. Term and Termination
This Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate
this Agreement at any time via the Services. We reserve the right to change, suspend or
discontinue, or terminate, restrict or disable your use of or access to, parts or all of the
Services or their functionality at any time at our sole discretion and without notice. For
example, we may suspend or terminate your use of part or all of the Services if you're violating
these Terms or our Acceptable Use Rules. We will endeavor to provide you reasonable notice upon
suspending or terminating part or all of the Services. All sections of this Agreement that by
their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including without limitation
Your Content, Our Intellectual Property, Warranty Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability,
Indemnification, Dispute Resolution and Additional Terms.
11. Limitation Of Liability
Unless you are an EU Consumer, you acknowledge and agree that to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, in no event will Soarsilk and its affiliates and its and their directors,
officers, employees and agents be liable with respect to any claims arising out of or related to
the Services or this Agreement for: (a) any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, punitive
or consequential damages; (b) any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or other intangible
losses; (c) any damages related to your access to, use of or inability to access or use parts,
some or all of your Account, Your Sites or parts or all of the Services, including without
limitation interruption of use or cessation or modification of any aspect of the Services; (d)
any damages related to unavailability, degradation, loss, corruption, theft, unauthorized access
or, unauthorized alteration of, any content, information or data, including without limitation
User Content and Your eCommerce data; (e) any User Content or other conduct or content of any
user or third party using the Services, including without limitation defamatory, offensive or
unlawful conduct or content; or (f) any Third Party Services or third party sites accessed via
the Services. If you are an EU Consumer, we shall, despite any other provision in this
Agreement, provide the Services with reasonable care but will not be liable for any losses which
were not a reasonably foreseeable consequence of our breach of this Agreement (except in
relation to death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or fraud). These limitations
apply to any theory of liability, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, negligence, strict
liability or any other legal theory, whether or not Soarsilk has been informed of the possibility
of such damage, and even if a remedy set forth in this Agreement is found to have failed its
essential purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (whether or not you are an
EU Consumer), in no event shall the aggregate liability of Soarsilk for all claims arising out of
or related to the Services and this Agreement exceed the greater of twenty dollars ($20) or the
amounts paid by you to Soarsilk in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event that
gave rise to such claim. If you are an EU Consumer, Soarsilk is liable under statutory provisions
for intent and gross negligence by us, our legal representatives, directors or other vicarious
agents. An “EU Consumer” means a natural person acting for purposes outside their trade,
business, craft or profession (as opposed to a User for business or commercial purposes)
habitually residing in the European Economic Area.
12. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Soarsilk and
its affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all
damages, losses, liabilities, costs, claims, demands, fines, awards and expenses of any kind
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or related
to: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your User Content, Your Sites and Your eCommerce; (c)
any claims by, on behalf of or against your End Users; (d) your violation of any law or
regulation or the rights or good name of any third party; and (e) any claims from tax
authorities in any country in relation to Your eCommerce operations, including without
limitation your sales to individual consumers (including distance sales) and other operations
for which Soarsilk may be held jointly and severally liable. Your indemnification obligations
under this Section shall not apply to the extent directly caused by our breach of this Agreement
or, where you are an EU Consumer, to the extent that the consequences were not reasonably
foreseeable.
13. Additional Terms
13.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Soarsilk
regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes and replaces any other prior or
contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions applicable to the subject matter of this
Agreement. You agree that you have not relied upon, and have no remedies in respect of, any
term, condition, statement, warranty or representation except those expressly set out in this
Agreement. You also may be subject to additional terms, policies or agreements that may apply
when you use other services, including Third Party Services. This Agreement creates no third
party beneficiary rights.
13.2. Waiver, Severability And Assignment. Our failure to enforce any provision of this
Agreement is not a waiver of our right to do so later. If any provision of this Agreement is
found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect and an enforceable term
will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not delegate, transfer
or assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations hereunder without our prior
written consent, and any such attempt will be of no effect. We may delegate, transfer or assign
this Agreement or some or all of our rights and obligations hereunder, in our sole discretion,
to any of our affiliates or subsidiaries or to any purchaser of any of our business or assets
associated with the Services, with thirty (30) days prior written notice. If you are an EU
Consumer, we will ensure that the delegation, transfer or assignment does not adversely affect
your rights under this Agreement.
13.5. Modifications. We may modify this Agreement from time to time, and will always post the
most current version on our site. If a modification meaningfully reduces your rights, we’ll
notify you (by, for example, sending you an email or displaying a prominent notice within the
Services). The notice will designate a reasonable period after which the new terms will take
effect. Modifications will never apply retroactively. By continuing to use or access the
Services after any modifications come into effect, you agree to be bound by the modified
Agreement and price changes. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using the
Services and cancel all Paid Services.
13.6. Events Beyond Our Control. We are not in breach of this Agreement or liable to you if
there is any total or partial failure of performance of the Services resulting from any act,
circumstance, event or matter beyond our reasonable control. This may include where such results
from any act of God, fire, act of government or state or regulation, war, civil commotion,
terrorism, insurrection, inability to communicate with third parties for whatever reason,
failure of any computer dealing or necessary system, failure or delay in transmission of
communications, failure of any internet service provider, strike, industrial action or lock-out
or any other reason beyond our reasonable control.
13.7. Translation. This Agreement was originally written in English. We may translate this
Agreement into other languages. In the event of a conflict between a translated version and the
English version, the English version will control.
