Nonetheless, if we deem such action necessary based on your violation of these Terms, including Our Policies, or in response to takedown requests that we receive following our guidelines for Reporting Copyright Violations, we may (1) remove Your Data from the Hosted Products or (2) suspend your access to the Hosted Products. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with advance notice of removals and suspensions when practicable, but if we determine that your actions endanger the operation of the Hosted Products or other users, we may suspend your access or remove Your Data immediately without notice. We have no liability to you for removing or deleting Your Data from or suspending your access to any Hosted Products as described in this Section 6.4.4.</p> 6.4.5 No Prohibited Sensitive Personal Information <p>You will not submit to the Hosted Products (or use the Hosted Products to collect) any Sensitive Personal Information.

Any customer who disputes a credit card payment that is found to be valid will be permanently banned from using the Service.</p> 8. No-Charge Products <p>We offer certain Products to you at no charge, including free services and accounts, trial use, and access to Beta Versions as defined below ("<strong>No-Charge Products</strong>"). Your use of No-Charge Products is subject to any additional terms that we specify and is only permitted for the period designated by us. We may terminate your right to use No-Charge Products at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion, without liability to you. You understand that any pre-release and beta products we make available ("<strong>Beta Versions</strong>") are still under development, may be inoperable or incomplete and are likely to contain more errors and bugs than generally available Products. We make no promises that any Beta Versions will ever be made generally available. In some circumstances, we may charge a fee in order to allow you to access Beta Versions, but the Beta Versions will still remain subject to this Section 8 (No-Charge Products).

Your notices to us will be deemed given upon our receipt.</p> <p>Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events which are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency.

As used herein, "including" (and its variants) means "including without limitation" (and its variants). No failure or delay by the injured party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder at law or equity. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement shall not be construed as constituting either party as a partner of the other or to create any other form of legal association that would give on party the express or implied right, power or authority to create any duty or obligation of the other party.</p> 17.1 English version <p>The English version of these terms will be the version used when interpreting or construing these terms.</p> 17.2 Company details <p>Sejda BV is a Dutch company registered with the Chamber of Commerce Amsterdam under number 68286945 (Kvk nummer)</p> <p>Our address: Kanteel 91, 1083DC Amsterdam, Netherlands</p> <p>Our VAT identification is NL857376202B01</p> <p>Questions or feedback?
