IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITES AND/OR THE SERVICE.

3. Modification

3.1. We reserve the right to change, modify, add to, or remove portions of these Terms in our sole discretion at any time, and we will, at our sole discretion, either post the modification on </legal/terms-of-service/> or provide you with email notice of the modification.

In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Agreement, the Agreement will prevail.

11.2. To the extent applicable state law does not allow the exclusions and disclaimers of warranties as set forth in this Section 11, some or all of the above exclusions and disclaimers may not apply to you, in which case such exclusions and disclaimers will apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. You acknowledge that the disclaimers, limitations, and waivers of liability set forth in this Section 11 shall survive any expiration or termination of these terms or your use of the Sites and/or Service.

Additionally, to the extent applicable state or other law does not allow the exclusions and limitations of damages as set forth in this Section 12, some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you, in which case Astronomer’s liability to you will be limited by this section to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Assignment

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Astronomer without restriction.

15.1. Content may be made available via the Sites by third parties not within our control. We are under no obligation to, and do not, scan such content for the inclusion of illegal or impermissible content.

16. Miscellaneous

16.1. The failure of either party to act upon any right, remedy, or breach of these Terms or an Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that or any other right, remedy, or breach. No waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party.

16.2. These Terms, any Agreement, and any claim arising out of these Terms and/or Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, excluding its conflict of laws principles, unless otherwise determined in an Agreement.

16.3. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms that is not resolved by you and us directly will be settled by mediation and, if mediation is unsuccessful, by binding arbitration.

16.4. The provisions of these Terms are severable. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in effect.
