FORCE MAJEURE

1. The Parties shall be released from liability for any delay or failure to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement, where such delay or failure is caused by force majeure circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, acts of God, fires, natural disasters, epidemics, strikes, labor unrest, war, civil unrest, government actions, laws or regulations, or any other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, as well as the lack of action or cooperation on behalf of the other Party or its affiliates, including any officers, directors, employees, or agents.

2. In order to invoke force majeure, the affected Party must notify the other Party in writing without undue delay, but no later than five (5) days from the occurrence of the force majeure event. This notice must specify the nature of the circumstances, their anticipated duration, and the extent to which such circumstances have impeded the Party’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

3. A certificate or other official document issued by a competent authority shall serve as conclusive evidence of the existence and duration of the force majeure event.

4. In the event of a force majeure circumstance, the period for performing the affected obligations under this Agreement shall be extended for a duration equal to that of the force majeure event or its consequences.

5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall bear no liability for any delays, interruptions, direct or indirect damages, or losses resulting from the failure of computers, electronic systems, communication channels, or software owned or operated by Third-Parties.

The Company’s liability shall not extend to any failure caused by actions or omissions of Third-Parties.

CONFIDENTIALITY

1. The Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of all information disclosed under this Agreement and shall not use such information for any purpose other than to fulfill their respective obligations hereunder. The receiving Party undertakes to protect confidential information with at least the same level of care as it exercises in protecting its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care.

2. Confidential Information refers to any information disclosed in the course of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, legally protected information or any information designated by the disclosing Party as "Confidential" or "Strictly Confidential" at the time of disclosure, accompanied by the full name and address of the owner. This definition includes key words, topic names, settings, and content generated in the use of the Company’s services.

3. Any Party that discloses confidential information or fails to adhere to the confidentiality requirements set forth herein shall be held liable in accordance with applicable law.

4. Disclosure of confidential information to competent government authorities is permitted where required by applicable law, without entailing liability for the disclosing Party.

5. The Client may provide the Company with information related to identified or identifiable individuals (referred to as "Personal Data" and "Personal Data Subjects"). The Company is authorized to process Personal Data solely for the purposes of entering into and performing this Agreement, or as otherwise required by applicable law (including, but not limited to, compliance with anti-money laundering requirements, financial and currency controls, and debt collection). The Client consents to the Company disclosing Personal Data, without further approval, to other entities within the YouScan group for these purposes. The Company undertakes to process Personal Data with at least the same level of protection as is legally required from the Client. The Client warrants that the Personal Data Subjects have consented to the Company processing their Personal Data as described in this section.

6. Nothing in this section prevents the Company from disclosing the Client’s confidential information to its affiliates, data licensors, third-party vendors, legal advisers, accountants, potential investors, or other professional advisers, as necessary ("Permitted Recipients"), provided that the Company remains responsible for ensuring compliance by the Permitted Recipients with the terms of this Agreement.

7. The obligations of confidentiality set forth in this section shall remain in effect for the duration of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years following its termination.

CLAIMS EXCHANGE

1. This section governs the procedure for exchanging claims between the Parties. The Parties may submit claims to one another via mail, courier, or email. Any claim submitted using these methods shall have the same legal effect and binding consequences for both the sender and the recipient, in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement.

2. Claims sent by e-mail:

   1. The Parties agree that claims sent from the email addresses provided in the contact details of the Parties (or, in the absence of an email address in the Client's contact details, the email address used during the Client's Account registration) shall be treated as having the same legal effect as claims sent in hard copy, signed by an authorized representative. The email message (hereinafter, the "Email") must include an attached file containing the signed claim.

   2. The email address shown in the sender’s email program shall be deemed sufficient confirmation that the claim is being sent directly by a Party to this Agreement and is signed by an authorized person. The authority of the person sending the claim shall be presumed and shall not require additional proof of authorization.

   3. Each Party warrants that only the Party and its duly authorized representatives will have access to the designated email addresses. The Parties further warrant that passwords, keys, and other access credentials for these email addresses will be kept strictly confidential.

   4. A claim sent via email shall be deemed received by the intended recipient on the first business day following the date the email is sent, as evidenced by the timestamp in the sender’s email program. The date of sending shall be determined by the timestamp recorded in the sender’s email program.

   5. The Parties acknowledge the legal and evidentiary validity of claims sent by email in accordance with these rules, including for the purposes of proving in commercial, civil, administrative, or criminal proceedings, and for demonstrating compliance with any mandatory pre-litigation dispute resolution procedures.

   6. The act of sending a claim via email will be confirmed by the entries in the relevant fields of the sender's email program.

   7. Each Party is responsible for regularly monitoring its designated email address for incoming messages. If a Party fails to do so, it assumes the risk of not receiving such messages. For the purposes of substantive and procedural law, any claim sent to the designated email address in accordance with these rules shall be considered received by the intended recipient.

   8. The Parties agree to ensure the technical capability to send and receive emails of up to twenty megabytes (20MB) in size from the designated email addresses. If the size of an email exceeds 20MB, the sender shall divide the documents into multiple emails, each not exceeding 20MB. For the purposes of this section, the email size includes all attached files.

3. The provisions of these rules shall take precedence over any conflicting provisions in the Order Forms or addendums that directly or indirectly govern the claims exchange procedure, except in cases where the Parties have entered into a specific addendum that expressly modifies these particular rules. Such an addendum must reference the specific sections of this part of the Agreement being amended. Additionally, the provisions of these rules shall remain in effect unless the Parties agree to an addendum specifically changing the email addresses designated for sending and receiving claims.

4. The interpretation and application of this Agreement, including any Order Forms and all matters related thereto, shall be governed by the applicable law, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

TERM OF THE AGREEMENT

1. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Client's acceptance, either during the Client’s registration for the Service via the Website or through the execution of Order Forms. The Agreement shall remain in effect until all Orders have either expired or been terminated in accordance with the terms outlined herein.

2. Mutual Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other Party under the following conditions: (a) The other Party is in material breach of this Agreement, and if such breach is remediable, fails to remedy the breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice specifying the breach; (b) The other Party initiates insolvency proceedings, becomes the subject of a petition for liquidation, or enters into any other proceedings related to insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, including similar proceedings under applicable law;(c) The other Party enters into an arrangement with its creditors due to concerns regarding insolvency.

3. Unilateral Termination by the Company. The Company reserves the unconditional right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the Client. Such notice may be sent to the email address provided during the Client’s registration on the Service. The Agreement shall be deemed terminated immediately upon the Company sending the notice. In the event of early termination by the Company, the Client may be entitled to a prorated refund of any prepaid Fees for the unused portion of the Service, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.

4. Cooling-Off Period (EU Consumers Only). If the Client is a consumer based in the European Union, the Client may have a statutory right to a “cooling-off” period regarding the purchase of certain goods and services. This period, if applicable, begins when the contract is formed and ends fourteen (14) calendar days thereafter. However, by expressly requesting immediate access to the Service upon payment or confirmation of the order, the Client waives the right to the cooling-off period. The Client acknowledges that once such access has been granted, the contract may not be canceled merely due to a change of mind.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

1. Each Party represents and warrants to the other that it possesses all requisite powers, authority, and legal rights necessary to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

2. The Parties further represent and warrant that they uphold and maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward bribery and corruption. This policy strictly prohibits any form of corrupt activity, including but not limited to the making of facilitating payments or any payments intended to expedite formalities related to business activities or to secure an improper advantage in handling specific matters. In connection with this Agreement, neither Party nor their respective affiliates, employees, intermediaries, agents, commission agents, customs brokers, or any other Third-Parties directly or indirectly involved in the performance of this Agreement, will engage in, propose, authorize, or approve, either directly or indirectly, any payment, transfer of funds, or transfer of any valuable assets (whether tangible or intangible) to any person for the purpose of influencing actions or decisions to obtain any improper advantage, circumvent legal procedures, or achieve any other improper purpose.

4. The Client represents and warrants that none of the Client, its Subsidiary, any beneficial owner, director, officer, or, to the Client's knowledge, any agent, employee, or affiliate of the Client and its Subsidiary, or any other person acting on behalf of, and with authority from, the Client and its Subsidiary, is an individual or entity that is, or is owned or controlled by an individual or entity that is, (i) the subject of any economic or trade sanctions by the U.S., United Nations Security Council, European Union, or other relevant sanctions authorities (collectively, "Sanctions"), or (ii) located, organized, engaged in any business activities, or having resident status in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions (including the Russian Federation). At the request of the Company, the Client agrees to promptly provide any relevant documents and other necessary information to confirm the above Representations and Warranties, including but not limited to, information on the ownership structure and information on the ultimate beneficiaries. If the above Representations and Warranties are breached, the Company shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement without refund of the fee previously paid by the Client. In the event of such breach, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to temporarily or permanently restrict access to the Client's Account(s) and permanently erase the content, data, or materials associated with the Client's Account(s) without any obligation to provide a refund or similar compensation. Furthermore, the Client shall be liable for any and all damages and expenses incurred by the Company as a direct or indirect result of such breach, including, but not limited to, attorney fees, filing fees, transcript fees, fees for serving process, and any other expenses associated with investigating, remedying, or mitigating the effects of the breach. The Client expressly agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses (including attorney fees) arising from or related to such breach, whether incurred by the Company or any third party. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the obligations for indemnification and reimbursement of costs, damages, and expenses as specified herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter. By entering into this Agreement, the Client acknowledges and consents to the above-stated remedies and acknowledges that they are fair, reasonable, and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and stay in compliance with legal requirements. The Client further acknowledges and agrees that the Company may enforce these remedies at its sole discretion, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the Company under applicable law or this Agreement.

5. In the event that either Party suspects that a breach of any provisions of this Agreement has occurred or is likely to occur, that Party shall promptly and without delay notify the other Party in writing of its suspicions. The written notice must provide reasonable details regarding the suspected breach.

6. The representations set forth in Sections 15.1–15.5 of this Agreement are fundamental to the Company’s decision to enter into and perform under this Agreement. These representations constitute essential terms within the meaning of applicable law, and the Company relies on their accuracy in executing and fulfilling its obligations under the Agreement.

7. Should any of the representations contained in this section prove to be inaccurate or false, the Party that provided such representations shall, upon written demand from the other Party, pay a penalty equal to double the payment amount specified in the respective Order Form. Additionally, the Party providing the inaccurate representation shall fully indemnify the other Party for all losses incurred as a result of the inaccuracy, to the extent such losses are not covered by the penalty payment.

8. The non-breaching Party may unilaterally terminate this Agreement or any specific Order Form by providing written notice to the other Party, with the termination becoming effective as of the date specified in such notice. In such an event, the terminating Party shall not be obligated to reimburse the other Party for any expenses already incurred in relation to compliance with the terms of the Agreement.

2. No Waiver by the Company. The Company's failure to enforce strict compliance with any provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. Such non-enforcement shall not limit the Company's right to enforce such provision or any other provision at a later time. No delay or failure by the Company to exercise any right or remedy under these Terms of Service shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right or remedy. A waiver by the Company in one instance does not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies in any other instance.

3. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or render such term or provision invalid or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to reflect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner, ensuring that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated to the greatest extent possible as originally intended.

For hard copy communications, visual comparison of signatures of the authorized representatives and seal impressions with the Parties' specimen records shall be sufficient to confirm authenticity. For email communications, an email server delivery report shall serve as sufficient proof of receipt.

6. Notification of Contact Information Changes. The Parties shall notify each other of any changes to their respective business addresses, contact telephone and fax numbers, or banking details within five (5) business days of such changes. Changes to email addresses shall be communicated within twelve (12) hours of the change.
