Website Terms of Service

Welcome to www.otem.co.uk, a website of Edusensys Ltd. (“Otem,” “we,” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use our website (collectively the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Website Terms of Use (the “Website Terms of Use”) and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered user of our Site. Otem reserves the right to make unilateral modifications to these terms and will provide notice of these changes as described below. These Website Terms of Use applies to all visitors, users, and others who access and/or use the Site (“Visitors”).

For purposes of clarity, these Website Terms of Use apply only to your use of the Site. If you are an end-user of our web and/or mobile software and services, which allow our business partners (“Customers”) to vet and verify the identities and credentials of individuals (the “Service”), then, in addition to these Website Terms of Use, you must read, understand, and agree to the User Terms of Service(the “Terms of Service”), which shall govern your use of the Service. If you are one of our Customers, our separate written agreement with you shall govern your access to and use of the Service.

Please read these Website Terms of Use carefully to ensure that you understand each provision. These Website Terms of Use contains a mandatory individual arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Otem and its subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Site, including any data or content transmitted or received by you; (ii) your violation of any term of these Website Terms of Use, including without limitation your breach of any of the representations and warranties above; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy or intellectual property rights; (iv) your violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (v) any content that is submitted by you including without limitation misleading, false, or inaccurate information; (vi) your willful misconduct; or (vii) any other party’s access and use of the Site with your unique username, password or other appropriate security code.

6. NO WARRANTY

The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Use of the Site is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Site is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Otem or through the Site will create any warranty not expressly stated herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Otem, its subsidiaries, its affiliates, and its licensors do not warrant that the content is accurate, reliable or correct; that the Site will meet your requirements; that the Site will be available at any particular time or location, uninterrupted or secure; that any defects or errors will be corrected; or that the Site is free of viruses or other harmful components. Any content downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the Site is downloaded at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or mobile device or loss of data that results from such download or your use of the Site.

Otem does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or site advertised or offered by a third party through the Site or any hyperlinked website or site, and Otem will not be a party to or in any way monitor any transaction between you and third-party providers of products or services.

Some countries, nations and other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion and limitations of certain implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. These Website Terms of Use gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers and exclusions under these Website Terms of Use will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Otem, its affiliates, agents, directors, employees, suppliers or licensors be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, this Site. Under no circumstances will Otem be responsible for any damage, loss or injury resulting from hacking, tampering or other unauthorized access or use of the Site or the information contained therein.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Otem assumes no liability or responsibility for; 

1. for errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content; 

2. any personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to or use of our site; 

3. any unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal information stored therein; 

4. any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Site; 

5. any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through our site by any third party;

6. any errors or omissions in any content or for any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Site; and/or

In no event shall Otem, its affiliates, agents, directors, employees, suppliers, or licensors be liable to you for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or costs in an amount exceeding the amount you paid to Otem hereunder.

This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if Otem has been advised of the possibility of such damage. The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. These Website Terms of Use gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under these Website Terms of Use will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

Section 8 Governing Law is deep rooted in US enterprises and the industrial/business culture being protected against industrial and class action lawsuits.  I do not think it applied and can be omitted or amended/replaced to reflect a UK based statement for protecting Otem  

8. GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER

A. Governing Law. The terms outlined here shall be governed by and interpreted according to the law of England and Wales and any disputes (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.

B. DISPUTES. The Parties shall resolve any dispute, controversy or claim under the provisions of Section 17.2 of our Terms and Conditions. The procedures set forth in Sections 17.2 shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any Dispute that may arise from time to time.

The Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within 14 days after one Party provides notice to the other Party of such Dispute , either Party may, by written notice to the other Party , refer such dispute to the Chief Operating Officer (or equivalent) of each Party (or their nominee designated in a written notice to the other Party).

C. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the site for personal, commercial or other purposes, all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by entering into these Website Terms of Use, you and Otem are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.

If any provision of these Website Terms of Use is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Website Terms of Use, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

D. No Waiver. No waiver of any term of these Website Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Otem’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Website Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
