Registration
You are not required to register for a TopHap account to see complete home listings. However, even unregistered Users are bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Users may choose to register for a TopHap account in order to avail themselves of enhanced services and features provided by the Company. By registering for a TopHap account you are, among other things, also entering into this Agreement. You are responsible for all activities related to the Services that occur through your account. It is your responsibility to keep your Account Profile information accurate. You agree to keep your password confidential, not use others’ accounts, nor permit others to use your account. TopHap reserves the right to terminate any accounts in its sole and absolute discretion.
Registered Accounts
Trial Period
Users who register for an account will automatically receive a free trial period (at no charge) for a defined period of time (“Trial Period”). Both the exact length of the Trial Period (e.g. two weeks, one month, etc.) as well as the consequences of Trial Expiration will be indicated to the User at the time of registration. Only one Trial Period will be offered to any particular User. No User is eligible for more than one Trial Period, and the same User may not obtain additional Trial Periods by re-registering for duplicate accounts.
The Company reserves the right to change, modify, alter or discontinue the length of the Trial Period in its sole and absolute discretion. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, offer differing Trial Periods from time to time.
Expiration of Trial Period
When the applicable Trial Period expires (“Trial Expiration”), the registered account will then either: (a) if the User did not provide the User’s payment information at the time of registration or prior to the time of Trial Expiration, then the account shall automatically expire and the User’s access to such account will be permanently discontinued unless the User elects to instead become a paying subscriber by providing TopHap with the necessary payment information at or prior to the time of Trial Expiration; or (b) if the User previously provided TopHap with payment information at the time of registration or prior to the time of Trial Expiration, then the account shall automatically convert into a paid subscription account and the User will be charged the recurring subscription fee as of the time of the Trial Expiration.
Account Billing and Payments
The following information in this section entitled “Account Billing and Payments” applies to Users who register for an account and then become paying subscribers for TopHap services.
Monthly Subscription(s)
The Company charges every registered User a monthly subscription fee of $ 49.95 (Forty-Nine Dollars and Ninety-Five Cents) for access to the TopHap account and associated features and services. The fee is charged in advance in respect of each monthly period (i.e. a fee charged today to a User applies to, and covers, the following monthly period).
Recurring Fee
Once the subscription fee is first charged to a particular User, the fee is then automatically charged to that particular User every month (or every year, in the case of an annual subscription) on each successive monthly anniversary date (or yearly anniversary date in the case of an annual subscription) of the first payment. If any payment date falls on a holiday or weekend, the Company may (in its sole and absolute discretion) charge the subscription fee on the business day that is immediately preceding (or following) the holiday or weekend dates. The subscription fee shall be recurring, with no end date, until such time as the User’s account is terminated or cancelled.
Annual Option
The Company may choose, in its sole and absolute discretion, to offer Users the option to pay their subscription fees in advance for an entire annual period (i.e. in lieu of twelve (12) monthly payments, the User would make one single, lump-sum payment in advance to cover the entirety of the next annual period of twelve (12) months). In the event that such an annual payment option is offered to Users, the Company may set the cost for such an annual subscription in its sole and absolute discretion (and such annual subscription cost may or may not present an aggregate discount to the monthly subscription fee).
The annual subscription fee is charged in advance in respect of each annual period (i.e. a fee charged today to a User applies to, and covers, the following annual period).
Billing Cycle(s)
As discussed above, we automatically bill you each month (or each year, in the case of annual subscriptions) on the calendar day corresponding to the date on which you first commenced payment for the subscription. Although TopHap endeavors to bill you as described herein above, we reserve the right to change the timing of billing as necessary, from time to time, and at any time in our sole and absolute discretion.
Account fees are fully earned upon payment. You must pay undisputed portions of any billing statement when due. In the event of your non-payment by the applicable due date, TopHap may elect (in its sole and absolute discretion) to immediately limit or suspend (temporarily) or terminate (permanently) your access and use (in whole or in part) of your account. Such suspension or termination of your account shall be without limitation to any and all other rights or remedies available to TopHap at law, in equity, under contract (including this Agreement), or otherwise, all of which are hereby expressly and fully reserved.
Changes to Subscription Fee
TopHap may, from time to time and at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, change or modify the amount of, or the basis for, determining any fees or charges to Users. Any such changes to the amount of the subscription fee will be electronically communicated to Users. The modified fee amount will thereafter take effect on the next monthly payment date (or annual payment date, in the case of yearly subscriptions).
Billing Information
Charges are billed to the credit or debit card provided by a User through their TopHap account. You agree to pay all such amounts billed. You are also separately responsible for the payment of any and all taxes, fees, and other charges, if any, that are now or may in the future be assessed in connection with your access or use of your TopHap account.
Please be advised that State and local taxes, or reimbursement charges for gross earnings taxes, may apply in certain jurisdictions.
All payments are to be made directly by Users to TopHap, unless TopHap expressly authorizes otherwise. TopHap shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide any accounts, services, features or functionality for any accounts for which payment is made by a User to a third party or for which payment is made by a third party on a User’s behalf.
The Company does not provide paper bills. The Company may choose, in its sole and absolute discretion, to provide electronic statements to Users. However, the failure to receive a bill or statement, whether a paper bill or an electronic statement, does not release or relieve you from your payment obligations under this Agreement.
Late Payments
In the event of any late payments by a User, TopHap may unilaterally terminate, limit or suspend that User’s account (with or without notice) for any such failure to timely pay any amounts by the required due date.
Registration of Credit or Debit Card
Users are required to register a valid credit or debit card to process payments of the associated fees. When you register your credit or debit card for your account, you expressly authorize TopHap to place a pending charge to the credit or debit card to verify your billing address and the validity of your credit or debit card. These pending charges are temporary and will not be converted into an actual charge to you. However, please note that pending charges, while pending, will typically reduce the amount of credit available to you for use on your credit or debit card. Once your credit or debit card information is authenticated, the credit or debit card that Customer registered with your TopHap account will then be automatically charged for each transaction without having to reenter or verify that same credit or debit card information again.
You are solely responsible and liable for any and all fees charged to you by your credit or debit card and the card’s issuer, bank, or financial institution, including (without limitation) fees for membership, any overdraft or insufficient funds, or for exceeding any applicable credit limit).
You expressly represent, warrant, agree and authorize that the issuer of any credit or debit card that you register in your TopHap account will: (a) accept the billing and payment terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) pay any and all amounts due on your behalf and that are billed in connection with your TopHap account and (c) make any and all payments due on your behalf without the Company needing to submit a signed receipt or proof of your signature.
Credit/Debit Cards
You agree to provide TopHap with updated credit or debit card information upon request and also any time the information you previously provided is no longer valid. You are solely responsible for maintaining and updating your credit or debit card information.
Without limiting the applicability of any other provisions of this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge and agree that TopHap will not have any liability whatsoever for any non-sufficient funds or other charges incurred by you as a result of our attempts to charge, and/or place holds on, your credit or debit card.
Billing Errors
If you believe that you have been billed in error, you must contact us immediately, and in no event more than thirty (30) days following the date you are erroneously billed. Failure by you to timely notify TopHap of any billing dispute will constitute your acceptance of the corresponding billed amounts, and you agree to waive any future claims that such billed amount(s) are, or were ever, in error.
Returns, Credits and Refunds
YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGES AND EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT PAYMENTS (AND TOPHAP SUBSCRIPTIONS) ARE NONREFUNDABLE. TOPHAP IS NOT OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO, ANY CREDIT, REFUND, RETURN, PRICE ADJUSTMENT OR ANY OTHER DISCOUNT, COMPENSATION OR OTHER FORM OF RECOMPENSE (AND REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS OR THEORY OF YOUR CLAIM FOR CREDIT, REFUND, RETURN, PRICE ADJUSTMENT, OTHER DISCOUNT, COMPENSATION OR FORM OF RECOMPENSE). WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE FOREGOING, TOPHAP FURTHER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL FORMS OF LIABILITY FOR ANY CREDIT, REFUND, RETURN, PRICE ADJUSTMENT, OTHER DISCOUNT, COMPENSATION OR FORM OF RECOMPENSE FOR ANY CLAIMS THAT A USER ONLY PARTIALLY USED THE ACCOUNT SERVICES OR DID NOT FULLY DOWNLOAD OR VIEW SERVICES, FEATURES OR FUNTIONALITY OF THE TOPHAP ACCOUNT.
Although not required or obligated (as explained above), TopHap reserves the right to evaluate or elect to provide credits, refunds, price adjustments or other discounts, compensation or form(s) of recompense, from time to time, and at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, that any such elections to offer any such credits, refund, price adjustments or other discounts, compensation or form(s) of recompense in any one instance or situation does not entitle any User to the same or any such benefit in the future for similar or unrelated instances or situations, nor does it create any obligation whatsoever for TopHap to offer such benefit to any User in connection with or relating to any past, present, or future requests for the same under any circumstance(s) whatsoever.
You hereby authorize TopHap to use outside payment processing agencies or other companies for purposes of paying any refund owed to you. You also agree that TopHap may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the form and manner of any refund that TopHap may choose to issue to you, and that such form or manner of refund may include (without limitation) account or billing credits for past or future TopHap services, a cash payment by check, a credit to a User’s debit or credit card account, or a prepaid debit card.
Any amounts refunded by TopHap shall, at TopHap’s sole election, normally be issued in the form of TopHap credits for past billing or a TopHap credit against future bills for account services (i.e. such credits will not normally take the form of cash refunds or credits directly applied to the User’s credit or debit card). TopHap reserves the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to issue cash payments (or credits applied to credit or debit cards), but makes no guarantees or promises that that the Company will issue cash payments (or credits applied to credit or debit cards) in any particular instance.
Refunds, whether consisting of billing credits or cash payments or any other form of refund, shall be inclusive of all applicable taxes, fees and surcharges that were originally paid on such amounts. Credit amounts that do not represent a refund of, or a discount to, the price paid for any service will not result in the refund of any tax, fee, or surcharge previously paid.
Subscription Termination by the User
A subscription may be terminated at any time by the User by electing such termination through the user administration console within the User’s TopHap account. The termination, once elected, will be automatically effective at the end of the then-current subscription term (i.e. at the end of the subscription month or year during which termination is elected). Any and all fees due to TopHap as of, and at, the effective date of termination shall nevertheless be deemed to have been fully earned by the Company. You are liable and responsible for any and all fees and charges up and through the date that voluntary termination of your account is effective.
Suspension or Termination by TopHap
As discussed herein above, accounts and subscriptions may be terminated if any payment owed to the Company is past due. TopHap may also limit, suspend or terminate services and accounts of any User if it is determined by TopHap (in its sole and absolute discretion) that there is any previously unpaid, undisputed, and/or outstanding amounts due to the Company from the User.
In the event of TopHap limiting, suspending or terminating a User’s subscription or account, such limitation, suspension or termination (as applicable) shall typically continue until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of any and all past unpaid charges and fees then-owning to TopHap. While an account or subscription is suspended, the User may have no use of the User’s account and any of its services, features or functions.
TopHap may also immediately terminate, limit or suspend any User account or subscription (in whole or in part), with or without notice, for User conduct that TopHap believes, in its sole and absolute discretion, is (a) illegal, fraudulent, harassing, abusive, or intended to intimidate or threaten; (b) a violation of any law, regulation, or tariff (including, without limitation, copyright and intellectual property laws), or (c) a violation of this Agreement, or any of TopHap’s policies or guidelines (including, but not limited to, the Company’s Privacy Policy).
Restarting Subscription Services
In the event that TopHap limits, suspends or terminates any User’s account or subscription for any reason whatsoever under this Agreement, TopHap is in no way obligated (directly or indirectly) to reestablish such User’s account, access to services or subscription.
TopHap may require such User to pay, and such User must then pay, a fee to restart the User’s account services and subscription. Any such restart fee payable by the User shall be in addition to any and all amounts past due amounts and charges (if any) hereunder that the User shall also responsible to pay before TopHap reestablishes the User’s account and subscription.
Without limiting the foregoing, TopHap may also require certain Users, whose accounts were limited, suspended and/or terminated on account of lack of payment or similar non-performance, to make an additional reasonable deposit of fees in advance to cover future User expenses and to protect TopHap from the risk of loss, non-payment or other similar User issues. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any such advance deposits will not be held segregated from other funds and will not earn or accrue any interest.
Collections
TopHap may utilize, in its sole and absolute discretion, one or more attorneys or collection agencies to assist TopHap in collecting any outstanding monies that Users may owe to TopHap or to assert any other right that TopHap may have against Users (e.g. any breach of this Agreement). You hereby agree to pay and be liable for any and all of the reasonable costs of such collection efforts or actions. These costs may include, without limitation, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

You expressly agree that you will, at your own expense, defend, indemnify and hold harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each and all of the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and agents, and any and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, contractors, employees and customers (each, an “Indemnitiee”, and collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all loss, cost, expense, damage, claim, demand, or liability (a “Claim), including (without limitation) all reasonable attorney and professional fees and costs (including, but not limited to, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) incurred in connection with investigation of, preparation for and defense of any pending or threatened Claim and any litigation or other proceeding arising, connected or related thereto (whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which the Company or any other indemnified person is a party), and the cost of settlement, compromise, judgment, or verdict incurred (including, but not limited to, actual and consequential damages) by, or demanded of, an Indemnitee, that, directly or indirectly, arises out of, results from or occurs in connection with: (a) your use of, or inability to use, the Site and TopHap services; (b) any publications, uploads, transmissions or distributions made by you, (c) your violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or your violation of any rights of a third party; (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations; (e) your negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; (f) your breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Privacy Policy; or (g) (i) infringement by you of any intellectual property, proprietary or other rights of any third party, including (without limitation) any patent, copyright or trademark, (ii) unlawful disclosure, use, or misappropriation of a trade secret by you, or (iii) violation of any other third-party intellectual property right, or other property or personal right of any person or entity; or (c) your use of (or inability to use) the Site or any Company service, software or website, in any manner whatsoever.
We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses, and promptly reimburse our reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and professional fees) in connection with, relating to or arising from our defense in such matter. No settlement, compromise or adjudication of any Claim to which indemnity applies hereunder, shall be effective or permitted without the express and prior written consent of the Company.
Changes or Specialized Modifications
The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, modify or change any aspect of the Agreement at any time, in whole or in part and with or without prior notice to you. Please consult the end of this Agreement to determine when the Agreement was last revised. You agree to periodically review this Agreement to ensure that you are in compliance with any ongoing changes or modifications that are made to the Agreement. Your continued use of the Site after any such modifications or changes are posted will constitute your acceptance of such any modifications to the Agreement.
The Company reserves the right to modify the Agreement as it applies to any specific user, provided that any and all such special modifications must be in writing between the Company and the applicable user. Any specialized modifications so made shall apply exclusively and only the user that is a party to such written agreement.
Term and Termination
This Agreement becomes effective and constitutes a binding legal agreement between you and us upon your acceptance of the Agreement by accessing, browsing and/or using the Site and will remain in effect until such time as it is terminated hereunder.
The Company may, at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement with you and your access to the Site with or without notice to you and for any reason or no reason; provided that this Agreement will automatically terminate, at the sole option of the Company, without any further action being required (such as a notice) upon your breach of any of the terms of this Agreement.
Users may elect to terminate this Agreement and discontinue their use of the Site (e.g. deactivate their existing User account) at any time by notifying the Company in writing (or via electronic mail), by visiting your Account Settings (and deactivating the User account) or by contacting Customer Service.
Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all of your applicable obligations, duties and responsibilities of a continuing or ongoing nature in the Agreement will survive termination of your use of the Site and/or the Agreement.
Dispute Resolution
Governing Law: This Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act shall not apply to the Agreement.
Informal Negotiations: To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim arising between you and TopHap, you and TopHap agree to first attempt to negotiate informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon notice from one party to the other party.
If necessary to preserve a claim under any applicable statute of limitations, you or TopHap may initiate arbitration while engaging in the above-referenced informal negotiations.
Mandatory Arbitration: You expressly agree that any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the alleged breach thereof, or relating to our activities or services or to us otherwise under this Agreement, shall be resolved by confidential binding arbitration in the county and State in which the Company maintains its principal place of business. You and the Company shall bear equally the costs of any such arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision that contains the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be binding on the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Waivers: Except as noted below, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you and TopHap agree that no class, collective, aggregate, or representative actions can be asserted in arbitration, litigation, or otherwise (“Class Action Waiver”). All claims must be brought solely in your or TopHap’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative, aggregated, or collective proceeding. Furthermore, you expressly understand and waive your right to trial by a jury.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES FURTHER WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO PURSUE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AGGREGATE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION PERTAINING TO ANY SUCH CLAIMS BETWEEN THEM.
If the Class Action Waiver, or any other provision requiring that claims be brought only on an individual basis and not on a class, collective, or representative basis, is determined to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to any particular claim, then that claim shall not proceed in arbitration but rather will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction. If that happens, however, the arbitration provisions in this Agreement will still be fully enforceable as to all other claims, which must be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis. Any arbitrable claims will be resolved before non-arbitrable claims, which the parties shall jointly request to be stayed pending the conclusion of arbitration.
Equitable Relief:Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions regarding arbitration, the agreement to arbitration set forth above does not limit the ability of the parties to apply for equitable relief (including, but not limited to, an injunction) to a court of competent jurisdiction, including (but not limited to) enforcing the arbitration provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge that violations or breaches of this Agreement by you may cause the Company irreparable harm, and the parties agree that the Company may petition any court of competent jurisdiction worldwide for equitable relief (including, but not limited to, injunctive relief), without the need to post any bond, in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity. Remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and may be enforced singularly or together at any time otherwise permitted. Any requests for injunctive or declaratory relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public, the entitlement and extent of such relief may be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration; provided, that the parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
Attorney’s Fees and Costs: The prevailing party in any controversy or dispute arising hereunder shall be entitled to recovery of its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs from the controversy or dispute as provided herein.
Remedies
If you are dissatisfied for any reason with the Site, or the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Privacy Policy, your sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or equity) shall be to discontinue your use of the Site and terminate this Agreement as described herein.
You hereby expressly agree that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, you will not, directly or indirectly, attempt to or actually circumvent this Agreement or its purpose or intent.
The Company will not be liable for any failure to perform acts due to causes beyond its control (including, without limitation, electrical outage, Internet Service Provider or wireless network or other service provider downtime, power failure, fire, flood, strike, civil disturbance, terrorism, war or Acts of God). If any such circumstances occur, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to provide reasonable notice to you of the same. The time for Company to perform hereunder will be extended for a period of time equal to the duration of the delay or default caused thereby.
Miscellaneous
Entire Agreement: This Agreement (together with the Privacy Policy) contains the entire, complete and exclusive understanding between Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings (whether oral, written, implied or otherwise, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent) between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or receive certain TopHap services.
Amendments: Except as provided in the paragraph titled “Changes or Specialized Modifications” above, any modification, addendum, or amendment to this Agreement will not be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of Company. This Agreement may not be modified, supplemented or amended by an electronic signature (or electronic correspondence) from Company.
The Company reserves the right to modify, supplement, or replace the terms of this Agreement. We may choose, in our sole discretion, to notify you in advance of any material changes to the Agreement before they take effect so that you can decide whether to continue using the Site. If you do not want to agree to such material changes to this Agreement before the changes take effect, you can terminate this Agreement at any time as provided herein.
Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be modified so as to render it enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible in order to effect the intention of the provision.
Waiver: Failure by a party to enforce any right, remedy or provision hereof will not be deemed a waiver of the same or any future enforcement of that or any other right, remedy or provision. A waiver by a party of any right, remedy or provision hereof shall only be effective if it is in an express waiver thereof.
Time Limit on Claims: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action that you have that arises out of or is related to the use of the Site or this Agreement must be filed by you within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
Notices: Unless otherwise stated herein, any notices hereunder to Company shall be in writing and be delivered by hand or mail (as specified below) to the persons and at the addresses as set forth below and shall be deemed given upon (i) delivery if by hand, (ii) five (5) business days after mailing if by certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) confirmation of delivery in the case of overnight or express mail. Notices to you hereunder may be provided by electronic mail to the electronic mail address provided by you to Company (and such notice shall be deemed given immediately upon transmission thereof by Company). Either party may change its address for receipt of notice to the other party by delivering notice of such change pursuant to this paragraph.
Acceptance: Your written or electronic signature is not necessary to manifest your assent or acceptance of this Agreement, and your use of the Site (as discussed herein) shall in and of itself constitute such assent and acceptance. This Agreement may be accepted and executed in the manner provided herein and such acceptance as provided herein shall constitute a valid and legally binding agreement between the parties.
Binding Authority: By agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, by a click-through or other agreement), the User is waiving, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any rights or legal requirements that require an original (non-electronic) signature or the delivery or retention of non- electronic records in order for a contract to be legally binding.
Assignment: Neither this Agreement, nor any rights or obligations hereunder, may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred (in whole or in part) by you without the prior express written consent of Company. Any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer by you in violation of this paragraph shall be null and voidab initio. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, executors and permitted assigns. The Company may freely assign or transfer (in whole or in part) this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any rights and obligations hereunder) with or without notice thereof to you. The Company may also substitute, by way of unilateral novation, effective upon notice to you, any third party that assumes our rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Headings: The article, section and paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting or construing this Agreement. This Agreement shall be interpreted as having been drafted together by each of the parties and duly reviewed by each party with the assistance of its respective legal counsel. Uses of the words “and”, “or” and “and/or” herein, when used with respect to Site, shall be deemed to include “and” as well as “or” where the applicable context so requires.
Relationship: Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to constitute an agency, partnership, joint venture or employer-employee relationship between the parties. Neither party has the power, and will not hold itself out as having the power, to act for or in the name of, or to bind, the other party. Nothing contained in this Agreement should be construed to give either party the power to direct or control the day-to-day activities of the other party. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of Company and you, and shall create no rights or obligations enforceable by any other party.
International Matters: TopHap is controlled and operated from the United States, with its principal offices located in the State of California. We make no representation that the Site is appropriate or available for use in any particular country or location. Users who choose to access the Site do so on their own initiative and are responsible for their own respective compliance with applicable local laws and regulations.
