You agree that these Terms, including all other policies and agreements incorporated herein, apply to all of your activities on our Websites and/or us of our Extensions, as it relates to our Platform and any other related services we provide (collectively referred to through these Terms as the “Services”).

For example purposes, Your Public Content may include comments you post concerning the development of a website made available by you to others.
b. All of Your Content remains yours and Iteration X does not claim any ownership rights in any of Your Content. Nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to use and exploit Your Content. You represent and warrant that you or your licensors own all right, title and interest in and to Your Content and that you have all rights in Your Content necessary and sufficient to transmit to, upload to, transfer to, process on, store in, or cause to interface with, your Account or the Services, and to grant the rights contemplated by these Terms to us. You are solely responsible for all of Your Content, including but not limited to the development, transmission, operation, maintenance, storage, claims, and use of Your Content.

5. Charges and Payment.
a. Depending on your selection, different pricing plans for the Services are available at www.IterationX.com/pricing. The features and limitations of these plans can be found on the aforementioned link. Your rights, usage, and responsibilities concerning the Services will be influenced by the pricing plan you opt for.
b. When you initiate a purchase for our Services, termed as a “Subscription”, you are giving express authorization to either us or Stripe, our designated third-party payment processor to levy charges for the said Services. It is imperative that you ensure all payment methods provided to us are legally usable by you. All mentioned fees are stipulated in euros (unless stated otherwise during the transaction), are non-refundable, non-cancelable, and not open to setoff or deduction. Should you fail to fulfill the complete payment due to us, we reserve the right to restrict your access to the Services, alongside any other applicable remedies.
c. All Subscriptions come with recurring fees, termed as “Subscription Fee”, which could be levied monthly, quarterly, or annually based on your chosen plan. It is pertinent to note that these fees might undergo changes, but you will be duly informed before any such amendments. By agreeing to these terms and procuring a Subscription, you acknowledge the recurring payment nature of the Subscription and agree to bear all such recurring obligations until the Subscription is terminated by either you or Iteration X. We, or our payment processor, will automatically deduct the stipulated amount as per the term of your Subscription using the provided payment details.
d. If you wish to cancel your Subscription, it is possible at any time. However, the termination will only come into effect at the end of the ongoing Subscription term. It's important to understand that, unless mandated by law, there will be NO REFUNDS for any portion of the Subscription fee already paid. Cancellation can be initiated by emailing [email protected] or, where applicable, through the Iteration X account settings. Post-cancellation, you will still be liable for the Subscription Fees due for the current term. This cancellation does not result in the termination of your Iteration X account.
e. The mentioned fees do not account for taxes. It's your responsibility to:
f. All payments from you to us, as per these terms, are exclusive of any deductions or withholdings. If any legal mandate requires such deductions or withholdings, you will pay additional amounts to ensure the net amount received by us is equivalent to the full amount without such deductions. Both parties will collaboratively strive to minimize or eliminate any mandatory withholdings or deductions, and ensure all applicable exemptions are leveraged.
6. Ownership.
Iteration X and its licensors reserve sole and exclusive ownership of the Services, the Platform, the Websites, the Extensions, and all copyrights, patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or created through exercise of the Rights Granted to us (other than Your Content or content that would meet the definition of Your Content of other users of the Services) (the “Iteration X Materials”). You may not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices appearing on or through use of the Services. If you provide Iteration X with any suggestions, comments, or other feedback regarding the Services (“Feedback”), you acknowledge that such Feedback will become the exclusive property of Iteration X, and Iteration X may use (or not use) any such Feedback in any manner and for any purpose, without compensation to you and without implying or creating any interest on your part in any of Iteration X’s products or services that may be based on such Feedback. You hereby irrevocably assign and agree to assign to Iteration X all right, title, and interest in any Feedback you provide.
7. Account Termination and Suspension.

You agree not to hold us responsible for the actions or inactions of any such Service Users, including things posted or offered to you. You acknowledge that Iteration X is solely a facilitator of information provided to it by its Service Users through the Platform. We are not involved in the actual development of the content submitted by Service Users (collectively “Other User Content”) and have detrimentally relied on the representations made by you and other Service Users in order to provide the Services. We have no control over and do not guarantee (a) the truth or accuracy of any Other User Content, or (b) any Service User will perform any services or transaction with you to your satisfaction or accurately represent any project such user promotes (directly or indirectly) through the Platform.
b. If you have a dispute with one or more users of the Services or any Service Advertiser, you release Iteration X (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
9. Privacy and Security Policy.
Iteration X’s Privacy and Security Policy is incorporated herein for all purposes and each Party agrees to the provisions contained therein. If any portion of these Terms conflicts with any portion of the Privacy and Security Policy, the Privacy and Security Policy shall govern for all purposes.

If you submit a DMCA Notice hereunder, you shall be deemed a "Complaining Party" for purposes of these Terms. Please note that, due to security concerns, attachments cannot be accepted. Accordingly, any notification of infringement submitted electronically with an attachment will not be received or processed.

(1) Remove or disable access to the material that is alleged to be infringing;
(2) Forward the written DMCA Notice to such alleged infringer ("Alleged Infringer");

(1) A physical or electronic signature of the Alleged Infringer;
(2) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
(3) A statement under penalty of perjury that the Alleged Infringer has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
(4) The Alleged Infringer's name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the Alleged Infringer consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the Alleged Infringer's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the Iteration X may be found, and that the Alleged Infringer will accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA Notice or an agent of such person.

(2) Inform the Complaining Party that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it within ten (10) business days;
(3) Replace the removed material or cease disabling access to the material within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the Counter DMCA Notice, provided Iteration X's Designated Agent has not received notice from the Complaining Party that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain Alleged Infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Iteration X's network or system.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO CERTAIN OF THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. TO THE EXTENT THAT Iteration X CANNOT DISCLAIM ANY SUCH WARRANTY AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF SUCH WARRANTY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER SUCH LAW.
12. Indemnity.
You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Iteration X and its officers, directors, employee and agents, from and against any third-party claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and professional fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) any violation of these Terms by you, or (ii) allegations that Your Content violates the rights in any manner of another person or entity, provided that Iteration X: (a) notifies you in writing of the claim (inclusive of email or other electronic communication); (b) grants you sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provides you, at your expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim.

14. Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents.
If there is a dispute, our user support team is happy to try to resolve the issue. If that does not work and you live in the United States or Canada, your options are to go to small claims court or bring a claim in binding arbitration; you may not bring that claim in another court or participate in a non-individual class action claim against Iteration X. This Dispute Resolution section applies only if you live in the United States or Canada. If you live outside the United States of Canada, Dispute Resolution for non-US and non-Canadian Residents of these Terms shall apply to you.
a. Small Claims. Either of us can bring a claim in small claims court in (a) [--],
Texas , (b) the county where you live, or (c) another place we both agree on, as long as it qualifies to be brought in that court.
b. Arbitration. If any dispute cannot be resolved amicably and informally and a small claims action is not initiated, Iteration X and you agree to resolve any claims related to these Terms (or our other legal terms) through final and binding arbitration, regardless of the type of claim or legal theory. If one of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated and the other party refuses to arbitrate it, the other party can ask a court to force us both to go to arbitration (compel arbitration). Either of us can also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing. With respect to any arbitration proceeding the following process shall be followed:
i. Any disputes involving a claim or claims of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, in the aggregate must be resolved through binding, non-appearance-based arbitration (i.e., arbitration conducted online, through written filings, and/or via teleconference) (each a “Sub 10K Arbitration”).
ii. Any Sub 10K Arbitration shall be conducted through the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer-Related Disputes.
iii. The following rules will apply to any Sub 10K Arbitration: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions (at the choice of the party seeking relief); (b) the arbitration must not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses (unless we and you agree otherwise); and (c) any judgment on the arbitrator’s rendered award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction.
iv. Disputes that involve a claim (or claims) of more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate must be resolved per the AAA’s rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person.
v. Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator in any arbitration proceeding may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and legally binding.
c. No Class Actions. Iteration X and you each agree that each of us can only bring claims against the other on an individual basis. This means: (a) neither of us can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action; (b) an arbitrator can’t combine multiple people’s claims into a single case (or preside over any consolidated, class, or representative action); and (c) an arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact that user, not other users, and can’t be used to decide other users’ disputes. If a court decides that this “No class actions” clause isn’t enforceable or valid, then this entire Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents section will be null and void, but the rest of the Terms will still apply and the Dispute Resolution for non-US and non-Canadian Residents of these Terms shall apply instead to you with respect to dispute resolution as if you were not a resident of the United States or Canada.
d. Changes to this Section. Notwithstanding the Right to Modify Terms section of these Terms, if Iteration X changes this Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents section after the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms, you may reject any such change by providing Iteration X written notice of such rejection by mail or hand delivery to:
6 RUE DU BOIS SAUVAGE 91000
EVRY-COURCOURONNES
Paris - France.
Attn: Legal, or by email from the email address associated with your Account to: [email protected] , within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated by the "last updated on" language above. To be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents section. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and Iteration X in accordance with the provisions of this Dispute Resolution for US and Canadian Residents section as of the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms.
15. Dispute Resolution for non-US and non-Canadian Residents.
If there is a dispute, our user support team is happy to try to resolve the issue. If that does not work and you live outside of the United States or Canada, you and Iteration X that the federal and state courts within the County of New Castle in the State of Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of these Terms. Each party hereto expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, such courts.
16. Right to Modify Terms.
Iteration X reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms at any time to clarify our practices, reflect new or different practices, comport with changes in applicable law(s) or for any other reason. If we make changes to these Terms, we will notify you using prominent means such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your Account, posting a notice through our Services, and/or requiring you to agree to any such changes upon your attempt to continue to use the Services. Any modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use or access of the Services in any manner after any such changes occur shall constitute your acceptance of the new terms. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms. Should you have any questions regarding the specific provisions of these Terms (as amended), please direct them to [email protected].
17. General
a. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware , without reference to its choice or conflict of law principles.
b. Assignment. Neither Iteration X nor you may assign these Terms without the other party’s prior written consent and any attempt to do so will be void, except that Iteration X may assign these Terms, without your consent, to a successor or acquirer, as the case may be, in connection with acquisition of Iteration X by operation of law or via the sale of all or substantially all of Iteration X’s assets or all or substantially all of the assets that allow for provision of the Services. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
c. No Election of Remedies. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will not be deemed an election of remedies and will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or available at law or in equity or otherwise.
d. Severability.
