If you choose to share or publish your Content (whether by collaboration on or sharing files with a project, emailing, sharing a link, sharing files with other applications or services, posting in a forum or gallery or otherwise), then others (including, in some cases, the general public) may be able to use, sell, reproduce, modify, distribute, make available, display, transmit and communicate your Content. Forums and galleries may be public, and submissions are generally public. Once you share or publish your Content, suspending or terminating access will not delete or inhibit access to any of your Content that was earlier copied, transferred or otherwise shared or published. If you do not want others to have any such access or any of those rights, do not use the sharing, publishing or other collaboration features of the Services and set your permissions accordingly.

11. Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability
11.1 Limited Warranty
AirWorks warrants to you that the Application will operate free from material Errors during the term of the Agreement. The foregoing warranty shall not apply to performance issues of the Application (a) caused by factors outside of AirWorks’ reasonable control; (b) that result from any of your actions or inactions or any third parties; or (c) that result from your data structures, operating environment, or equipment. Provided that you notify AirWorks in writing of any breach of the foregoing warranty during the term of this Agreement, we shall, as your sole and exclusive remedy for any Errors with the operation of the Application, (i) provide the technical support services set forth in the applicable Subscription to correct such Error(s), or (ii) if AirWorks is unable to correct such Error(s) within a commercially reasonable amount of time, terminate this Agreement and refund to you the pro-rated portion of any prepaid fees attributable to any unused Services and this Agreement shall thereafter terminate.
11.2 Disclaimer
THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.1 IS MADE FOR YOUR BENEFIT ONLY. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.1 AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND DOCUMENTATION) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND AIRWORKS MAKES NO (AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL) OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR CONDITIONS, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, COURSE OF DEALING, TRADE USAGE OR PRACTICE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE APPLICATION, Documentation, OR SERVICES (IN WHOLE OR IN PART) OR ANY OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY AIRWORKS. AIRWORKS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS CAN BE CORRECTED, OR THAT OPERATION OF THE APPLICATION SHALL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OR LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
11.3 Limitations of liability
Neither AirWorks nor any of its licensors or suppliers will have any liability (directly or indirectly) for any incidental, special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages; loss of profits or revenue; business interruption or loss of use; cost of procurement of substitute goods or services or other cover; failure of or defects in the Output; loss, corruption or deletion of (or failure to delete) data or your content; or damages resulting from Force Majeure (in each case, regardless of the legal theory for seeking such damages or other liability). In addition, the aggregate liability of AirWorks and its licensors and suppliers with respect to any Services or deliverable thereof will in no event exceed the amount paid or payable by you for the Service in the one-year period before the events or circumstances giving rise to the liability first occurred.
The limitations of liability in these Terms will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law to any damages or other liability, however caused and regardless of the theory of liability, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability), indemnification, recourse, statute or otherwise, even if AirWorks has been advised of the possibility of the liability and regardless of whether the limited remedies in these Terms fail of their essential purpose.
You acknowledge that the amounts payable for the Services are based in part on and reflective of the disclaimers of warranties and limitations on liability in these Terms and that such disclaimers and limitations are an essential element of the bargain between you and AirWorks.
Nothing in these Terms purports to restrict or exclude AirWork’s liability for (i) death or personal injury caused by AirWorks’s willful intent or gross negligence or (ii) your damages or losses caused by AirWorks’s fraud. AirWorks does not seek to limit your warranties, your other rights and remedies, or the liability of AirWorks for damages or losses to the extent the limits are not permitted by applicable law (such as statutory warranties, conditions, remedies or liabilities that cannot be excluded by applicable law). Nothing in these Terms restricts the effect of warranties, the liability of AirWorks for damages or losses or other terms that cannot be excluded or otherwise modified under applicable law notwithstanding a contractual restriction to the contrary. These Terms give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other legal rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.
11.4 Third Party Content
By using the Services, AirWorks may provide you with access to third party websites, information, and services, including but not limited to third party databases, networks, servers, software, programs, systems, directories, applications, or products. You hereby acknowledge that AirWorks does not control such third-party websites and services, and cannot be held responsible for their content, operation, or use. AirWorks does not give any representation, warranty, or endorsement, express or implied, with respect to the legality, accuracy, quality, or authenticity of content, information, or services provided by such third-party websites and services. AirWorks disclaims any and all responsibility or liability for any harm resulting from your use of such third-party websites and services, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against AirWorks with respect to the content or operation of any such third-party websites and services.
12. Confidentiality
12.1 Confidential Information
During the term of this Agreement, each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may provide the other party (the “Receiving Party”) with certain information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business, technology, products, or services or other confidential or proprietary information (collectively, “Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Application, Documentation, and all enhancements and improvements thereto, will be considered Confidential Information of AirWorks, and the Subscriber Data will be considered Confidential Information of Subscriber.
12.2 Protection of Confidential Information.
The Receiving Party agrees that it will not use or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information to its employees and contractors who have a need to know, who have confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein, and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. At the Disclosing Party’s request or upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (or permanently erase in the case of electronic files) all copies of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party does not have a continuing right to use under this Agreement, and the Receiving Party shall provide to the Disclosing Party written notice certifying compliance with this sentence.

14. Term, Termination, Suspension
These Terms become effective on the first date accepted in accordance with the “Acceptance” section (Section 1) and continue in effect indefinitely unless terminated in accordance with this “Term, Termination, Suspension” section (Section 14).
14.1 Your right to terminate
You may terminate your subscriptions and these Terms if AirWorks is in material breach of these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms or any other applicable terms) and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice of the breach.
14.2 AirWorks’ right to terminate
AirWorks may terminate any or all of your subscriptions or other Services, these Terms and/or your account, if (i) you have no current paid subscriptions and haven’t used the Services within 3 months; (ii) you have failed to timely pay any amounts (including fees and taxes) owing with respect to any Services or otherwise owing to AirWorks; (iii) you (including any of Your Authorized Users) are in material breach of these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms, or any other applicable terms) and fail to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice of the breach; or (iv) you become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, become insolvent, make an arrangement with or affecting your creditors (including an assignment for the benefit of creditor) or commence a process of liquidation. These Terms will automatically terminate without further notice or action by AirWorks if you go into liquidation.
14.3 AirWorks’ right to suspend
If AirWorks believes in good faith that your content or your conduct or failure to act (including the conduct or failure of your Authorized Users) may (i) pose a security risk or otherwise adversely impact Services, systems or other users; (ii) constitute or enable tampering with, removing, disabling or otherwise limiting the effectiveness of any technical protections (including any mechanisms for managing, monitoring, controlling or analyzing the installation of, access or, or use of any Services or protections of AirWorks’ intellectual property rights); (iii) subject AirWorks, any reseller or any other user to liability; or (iv) not comply with these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms or any other applicable terms), including failure to pay any amounts owing with respect to any Services, AirWorks has the right, but not the obligation, to immediately disable or suspend your access to and use of any Services and access to and use of your Content. Unless AirWorks reasonably determines that immediate action is prudent, AirWorks will seek to notify you of the planned disabling or suspension before it takes effect.
14.4 Effect of termination of subscription
Upon expiration or termination of a subscription or other Services for any reason, your rights with respect to that Service, including any related Software license or subscription Benefits, will end. At that time, you will stop all access to and use of the Service (including all access and use by your Authorized Users) and uninstall any and all copies of materials related to such Services (including any related Software, Documentation, APIs or other material from AirWorks). In addition, at AirWorks’s request, you will destroy any such copies or return them to AirWorks or the reseller from which you acquired the Service. You will retain proof that you returned or destroyed all such copies. In connection with the expiration or termination of a subscription, (i) as a convenience to you for some Web Services, AirWorks may provide you with a brief period (for example, 30 days) in which you may retrieve your Content after expiration or termination of the Web Services, if you are in compliance with these Terms and pay the applicable fees, if any (for example, AirWorks’s then-current professional services fees for any assistance AirWorks provides), and (ii) otherwise, AirWorks may delete, without notice, any or all of your Subscriber Data, content, including backup and other copies thereof. For paid Subscription according to Section 8.3, AirWorks commits to keep a copy of your Subscriber Data in your account for 3 months after the expiration date of your Subscription, unless the Subscription is renewed or replaced by a paid subscription in which case you will continue to be able to access the Subscriber Data in your AirWorks account. For more information on post-expiration/termination content retrieval, please check with the individual Web Services and Section 8. This convenience for some Web Services, if available, does not relieve you of responsibility for retaining and securing complete copies of your Subscriber Data and content at all times.
14.5 Effect of termination of terms
Upon any termination of these Terms for any reason, (i) your account and your subscriptions and other Services, including those of your Authorized Users, will immediately terminate, (ii) you will cease all access to and use of any Services (including all access and use by your Authorized Users), and (iii) the effects described above with respect to expiration or termination of a subscription or other Services will apply.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms (including any Additional Agreement or Special Terms), if any such modification has a material adverse effect on you and you do not agree to the modification, you may reject the modification by notifying AirWorks of the rejection within 30 days of the Modification Notice. If you reject a modification under these circumstances, (i) your access to and use of any Services affected by the modification will continue to be governed by the terms in effect immediately before the modification (except to the extent the modification was made for security, privacy or legal compliance reasons) until (a) the end of the then-current period for the Subscription or other Services, if applicable, or (b) 180 days after the Modification Notice, whichever is earlier; and (ii) your rights to such Services, including any related subscription Benefits, will then terminate. In the event of such a termination by you, AirWorks (or an applicable reseller) will refund the prorated portion of any prepaid fees applicable to the remaining term of your subscription for the affected Services after the effective date of termination. Such date will be the end of the term of such Services. If the Subscription is renewed or extended, it will be under the then-current Terms. Notices by you or AirWorks will be provided as set forth below, except that you may also provide your notice of rejection (within the 30-day period described above) to the email address, or in any other manner, specified in the Modification Notice.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, modifications to the Privacy Statement, Special Terms, Subscription Types, Subscription Benefits or other policies will be handled as described therein.
