6. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.
Nothing in this Section limits any warranty that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including the non-waivable protections of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code (CDC) for Brazilian users.
7. Limitation of Liability & Availability
We do not guarantee that transmissions will be uninterrupted, fully secure, or free from occasional errors.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Connexage shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, loss of profits, data loss, or loss of business opportunities arising from:
- •(a) your use of or inability to use the services;
- •(b) the conduct or content of third parties within the Platform;
- •(c) unauthorized access to or alteration of your data; or
- •(d) reliance on AI-generated coaching feedback or scoring.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Connexage's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Platform shall not exceed the greater of (i) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100), or (ii) the total amount you paid to Connexage in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including Brazilian consumer protection law (Código de Defesa do Consumidor).
8. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Connexage, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Platform; (b) your content; (c) your violation of this Agreement; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of a third party. This Section does not apply to the extent a claim arises from Connexage's own violation of applicable law, including non-waivable consumer protections under the CDC for Brazilian users.
9. Modifications, Suspension & Termination
9.1 Contractual Amendments
We reserve the right to modify this Agreement periodically. When material changes occur, you will be notified via the Platform or by email and we will require your explicit re-acceptance of the revised terms before you may continue using the Platform. This explicit re-consent requirement applies particularly to Brazilian users in compliance with the Consumer Protection Code (CDC). Where a material change affects the arbitration terms described in Section 10.2, U.S. users will receive a new 30-day opportunity to opt out of arbitration as described in that Section.
9.2 Termination
Either party may terminate this relationship at any time. You may delete your account through your profile settings. Connexage may suspend or terminate your access if there is reasonable suspicion or confirmed violation of this Agreement, applicable law, or the rights of third parties, and will provide notice of the reason for suspension or termination where feasible and not prohibited by law. Sections relating to intellectual property, AI disclaimer, warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution survive termination.
10. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law
10.1 Brazilian Users
For users based in Brazil, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, including the LGPD, the Brazilian Civil Code, and the Consumer Protection Code (CDC). Disputes that cannot be resolved amicably shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the Courts of São Paulo, Brazil, except where the CDC's mandatory venue rules entitle you to bring an action in the courts of your own domicile, in which case that mandatory rule shall prevail.
10.2 United States Users
For users based in the United States, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict of law principles, except that if you reside in a state whose consumer protection laws provide non-waivable rights (including California), nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall, limit those rights. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND CONNEXAGE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
If any part of this arbitration agreement or the class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, that part shall be severed, and the remainder of the arbitration agreement shall remain in effect, except that if the class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that specific claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in court rather than in arbitration, and shall not proceed as a class or representative action.
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first creating your account by emailing legal@connexage.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out.”
10.3 Informal Resolution First
Before initiating any formal dispute process, both parties agree to attempt good-faith informal resolution by contacting support@connexage.com. We will make reasonable efforts to resolve disputes within 30 days of receipt.
