By accessing, browsing, or using our website located at www.striveguard.hair (the Site), by engaging with any of our computer systems design and related technical services, or by otherwise interacting with us in connection with our business operations, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service in their entirety. If you do not agree to every provision contained in these terms, you must immediately discontinue all use of the Site and our services.

These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Site and all recipients of our services, including without limitation visitors, prospective clients, registered account holders, and any other individuals or entities that access, link to, or otherwise make use of the Site or our offerings. By continuing to use the Site or our services after any revisions to these terms take effect, you accept and agree to the updated terms. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, as further described in the Changes to Terms section below. You are responsible for periodically reviewing these Terms of Service so that you remain informed of any updates. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with these terms or any modifications thereto is to cease using the Site and our services.

In addition to these Terms of Service, your use of certain features, services, or areas of the Site may be subject to additional guidelines, policies, or agreements that we may post or make available to you from time to time. All such supplemental terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Service and any supplemental terms, the supplemental terms shall govern with respect to the specific feature or service to which they apply, unless expressly stated otherwise. Our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect personal information, is also incorporated into these terms by reference and governs your use of the Site and services.

2. Description of Services

StriveGuard is a computer systems design and related services company that provides a comprehensive range of technology solutions to businesses and organizations worldwide. Our service offerings encompass integrated systems architecture design, custom software development and engineering, information technology infrastructure planning and deployment, cybersecurity assessment and implementation, data analytics and business intelligence, cloud migration and management, technology consulting and advisory, as well as ongoing maintenance and technical support. We work closely with each client to understand their unique requirements, operational constraints, and strategic objectives, and we tailor our services accordingly to deliver solutions that are practical, scalable, and aligned with the best interests of the client organization.

The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, fees, and other terms applicable to any particular engagement shall be set forth in a separate written agreement, statement of work, or service order executed by both parties. These Terms of Service provide the general framework governing all interactions with StriveGuard, while individual project agreements and service contracts establish the detailed parameters of each engagement. To the extent that a provision in a separate written agreement conflicts with these Terms of Service, the separate written agreement shall control with respect to the specific matter addressed therein. Nothing in these Terms of Service obligates StriveGuard to enter into any particular engagement or to provide any service beyond what has been expressly agreed in a signed writing.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of our service offerings — including features, functionalities, pricing, and availability — at any time without prior notice, although we will make reasonable efforts to communicate material changes to affected clients. We further reserve the right to decline to provide services to any person or entity for any reason not prohibited by applicable law, including but not limited to circumstances where we determine that the requested services fall outside our area of expertise, would create an unacceptable risk, or would conflict with our existing commitments or ethical obligations.

3. Website Use and Access

Subject to your strict compliance with these Terms of Service, StriveGuard grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the Site for your personal or internal business purposes. This license does not include any right to reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or create derivative works of the Site or any portion thereof without our express prior written consent.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Site complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Site is accessible and operational on a continuous basis. However, we do not guarantee that the Site will be available at all times, free of errors, or uninterrupted. The Site may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, unscheduled emergency maintenance, system upgrades, equipment failures, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control including force majeure events. We reserve the right to suspend or restrict access to all or part of the Site at any time and for any duration as we deem necessary for operational, security, legal, or other legitimate reasons. We shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience resulting from any unavailability or interruption of the Site.

You are solely responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to access the Site, including obtaining and maintaining compatible hardware, software, and internet connectivity. You acknowledge that your use of the internet to access the Site involves inherent security risks, and you agree that StriveGuard is not responsible for any breach of security, loss of data, or other harm that arises from your use of the internet, your device or network configuration, or any third-party software or services that you employ to access the Site. We recommend that you use up-to-date antivirus software, firewalls, and other appropriate security measures.

4. User Accounts and Registration

Certain features or areas of the Site may require you to create a user account by completing a registration process and providing accurate, current, and complete information as prompted by the registration form. You represent and warrant that all information you provide to StriveGuard in connection with your account is truthful, accurate, and complete, and you agree to promptly update such information as necessary to maintain its accuracy and completeness. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and to refuse any and all current or future use of the Site and our services if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the information you have provided is inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or otherwise misleading.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your username and password, and for all activities that occur under your account regardless of whether such activities were authorized by you. You agree to notify StriveGuard immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security of which you become aware. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the obligations set forth in this section. You may not transfer, assign, or share your account with any other person or entity, and you may not use another persons account without express permission. You acknowledge that your account is personal to you and that you bear full responsibility for any actions taken through it.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to disable any username, password, or other identifier at any time if, in our reasonable opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Service or if we believe that continued access under that identifier poses an unacceptable security or operational risk. StriveGuard also reserves the right to require you to change your password or other authentication credentials at any time for security purposes. Accounts that remain inactive for an extended period may be deactivated or deleted at our discretion, subject to any data retention obligations we may have under applicable law or contractual commitments.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All content, features, and functionality available on or through the Site — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, video clips, data compilations, page layouts, underlying code, software, algorithms, databases, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof — is owned by StriveGuard, its licensors, or other providers of such material and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws in China, the United States, and internationally. The StriveGuard name, the StriveGuard logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans displayed on the Site are trademarks of StriveGuard or its affiliates or licensors. You may not use such marks without our prior written permission. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans appearing on the Site are the trademarks of their respective owners.

Restrictions on Use of Site Content. You may access and view the content made available on the Site for your personal, non-commercial use only, provided that you do not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices appearing on or within any materials you access or download. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any material from the Site for any commercial purpose without obtaining our express prior written consent. Any use of the Site or its content other than as expressly authorized by these Terms of Service — including any use of data mining, robots, or similar data gathering or extraction methods — is strictly prohibited and will terminate the permission or license granted herein.

User-Submitted Content. In the course of using the Site or our services, you may have the opportunity to submit, post, upload, or otherwise make available content, including but not limited to project specifications, technical requirements, feedback, comments, suggestions, ideas, and other information (collectively, User Content). By submitting User Content to us, you grant StriveGuard a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such User Content in connection with the operation of our business and the provision of our services. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to grant the foregoing license and that your User Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party.

Work Product and Deliverables. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in a written agreement signed by both parties, all work product, deliverables, software code, designs, documentation, and other materials created by StriveGuard in the course of performing services for a client shall remain the exclusive intellectual property of StriveGuard, and the client shall receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use such materials solely for the clients internal business purposes in connection with the project for which they were developed. Any transfer of ownership rights in work product to the client must be expressly set forth in a written agreement. These provisions are without prejudice to the rights of StriveGuard to use general knowledge, skills, and experience — including ideas, concepts, know-how, and techniques — acquired in the course of performing services, provided that such use does not result in the disclosure of client confidential information or the unauthorized use of client-specific intellectual property.

Copyright Infringement Claims. StriveGuard respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Site and our services to do the same. If you believe that any material available on or through the Site infringes a copyright that you own or control, please notify us promptly by sending a written communication to hello@striveguard.hair that includes the following information: a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; your contact information including your address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

6. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree that you will use the Site and our services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms of Service. You are prohibited from using the Site or services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site or interfere with any other partys use and enjoyment of the Site. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion or feature of the Site, to any other systems or networks connected to the Site or to any StriveGuard server, or to any of the services offered on or through the Site, by hacking, password mining, or any other illegitimate means. You may not probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site or any network connected to the Site, nor breach the security or authentication measures on the Site or any network connected to the Site.

Additionally, you agree that you shall not engage in any of the following prohibited activities: uploading, transmitting, or distributing any viruses, worms, Trojan horses, malware, ransomware, or other harmful or destructive code designed to interfere with, disrupt, or impair the operation of any software, hardware, or network; sending unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, spam, junk mail, chain letters, or any other form of duplicative or unsolicited messages; impersonating any person or entity, misrepresenting your affiliation with any person or entity, or otherwise engaging in deceptive or fraudulent conduct; harvesting, collecting, or storing personal data about other users without their express consent; or engaging in any conduct that restricts or inhibits any other users from using or enjoying the Site or our services.

We reserve the right — but undertake no obligation — to monitor your use of the Site and our services to ensure compliance with these Terms of Service and to protect the security and integrity of our systems. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that your conduct violates this Acceptable Use Policy or is otherwise harmful to StriveGuard, our clients, or third parties, we may take any action we deem appropriate, including without limitation suspending or terminating your access to the Site and services, removing any offending content, and cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation and prosecution of illegal conduct. Nothing in this section limits the remedies available to StriveGuard at law or in equity.

7. Confidentiality

In the course of your interactions with StriveGuard — whether as a client, prospective client, or website user — you may have access to or receive certain non-public information that is proprietary or confidential to StriveGuard. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, business plans, strategies, methodologies, technical documentation, software code, pricing information, trade secrets, know-how, internal processes, client lists, and any other information that is designated as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential under the circumstances. You agree to hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence, to use it solely for the purpose of evaluating or receiving our services, and to protect it with at least the same degree of care that you use to protect your own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care.

Your confidentiality obligations shall not apply to information that: is or becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms of Service by you; was rightfully in your possession without any restriction on use or disclosure prior to receiving it from StriveGuard; is independently developed by you without use of or reference to any Confidential Information; or is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order, provided that you give StriveGuard prompt written notice of such requirement so that we may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and you disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with the legal requirement. You acknowledge that any breach of these confidentiality obligations may cause irreparable harm to StriveGuard for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that we shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any remedies available at law.

Similarly, in the course of providing services to our clients, StriveGuard may receive or have access to confidential and proprietary information belonging to the client. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of all client information and will use such information only for the purpose of performing our obligations under the applicable service agreement. The specific terms governing our handling of client confidential information will be set forth in the relevant engagement agreement or a separate non-disclosure agreement, and in all cases we will handle client information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

8. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, StriveGuard hereby disclaims all warranties and conditions with respect to the Site and services — including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, reliability, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall StriveGuard, its affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, service providers, successors, or assigns be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including without limitation damages for loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of data, business interruption, or any other intangible losses — arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site, any services provided by StriveGuard, or any content, materials, or information made available through the Site, regardless of the legal theory under which such damages are sought (whether based on warranty, contract, tort — including negligence — strict liability, or any other legal theory), even if StriveGuard has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of whether the damages were foreseeable.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, StriveGuard expressly disclaims any and all liability for any damages resulting from: errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content on the Site; personal injury or property damage of any nature resulting from your access to or use of the Site or our services; unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers or any personal or financial information stored therein; any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Site; any bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the Site or our services by any third party; any errors or omissions in any content; or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Site or our services. The foregoing limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms of Service or your use of the Site and services.

In the event that any jurisdiction does not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the liability of StriveGuard in such jurisdiction shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. In no event shall the aggregate liability of StriveGuard to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or your use of the Site and services exceed the greater of the amount, if any, paid by you to StriveGuard in the twelve-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred United States dollars (US $100.00). The existence of multiple claims or suits under or related to these Terms of Service shall not enlarge or extend this limitation.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StriveGuard Trading Co., Ltd., its parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses — including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert witness fees, and court costs — arising out of or in any way connected with: your use of or access to the Site and our services; your violation of any provision of these Terms of Service; your violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation; your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any intellectual property right, privacy right, or publicity right; any User Content you submit, post, upload, or otherwise make available through the Site; or any claim that your User Content caused damage to a third party. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms of Service and your cessation of use of the Site and services.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you under this section, and in such event you agree to cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You shall not, in any event, settle any claim, action, or proceeding subject to indemnification under this section without our prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Your indemnification obligations under this section are expressly intended to protect StriveGuard and its related parties and shall be interpreted broadly to achieve that purpose.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, applications, advertisements, services, or resources that are not owned, operated, or controlled by StriveGuard. These links are provided solely for your convenience and informational purposes. StriveGuard has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, terms of service, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We do not investigate, monitor, endorse, or warrant the offers, information, products, or services made available by any third party, and the inclusion of any link on the Site does not imply our affiliation, endorsement, or adoption of the linked site or any content contained therein. You acknowledge and agree that StriveGuard shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage, loss, or harm of any kind caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with your use of or reliance on any such third-party content, products, or services.

You are strongly encouraged to review the terms of service, privacy policies, and other governing documents of any third-party website or service before engaging with them or providing any personal or financial information. Your interactions with third parties — including payment transactions, software downloads, and any other dealings — are solely between you and the third party. Any complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products or services should be directed to the applicable third party. StriveGuard shall have no obligation to become involved in any dispute between you and any third party relating to their website, content, products, or services.

12. Termination

These Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Site and our services. We may terminate or suspend your access to the Site and our services at any time without prior notice or liability for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach any provision of these Terms of Service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity, any violation of third-party rights, or any conduct that we determine — in our sole discretion — to be harmful to StriveGuard or any other user may be grounds for termination. Upon termination or suspension, your right to use the Site and our services shall immediately cease, and we may deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account without further obligation to you.

All provisions of these Terms of Service that by their nature should reasonably survive termination shall survive termination, including without limitation ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification obligations, confidentiality obligations, and dispute resolution provisions. Termination of your access to the Site and services shall not relieve you of any obligation to pay fees or other amounts that have accrued or become payable to StriveGuard prior to the effective date of termination, nor shall it limit or prejudice any other right or remedy that StriveGuard may have at law or in equity with respect to any breach of these Terms of Service occurring before termination. We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any termination of your access to the Site or services.

If you wish to terminate your account or discontinue your use of the Site and services, you may simply stop accessing the Site and notify us of your decision. If you are a client with an active service agreement, termination of that agreement shall be governed by the terms set forth in the applicable agreement. Any data or content that you have submitted through the Site may be retained, deleted, or returned in accordance with our data retention policies and any applicable contractual obligations. We encourage you to back up any data or content that is important to you prior to discontinuing your use of the Site.

13. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter, or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Peoples Republic of China, without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded from these Terms of Service. This choice of governing law applies to all aspects of these Terms of Service and to all claims and disputes that may arise between you and StriveGuard, regardless of your location, place of residence, or place of business.

By using the Site or our services, you agree that the courts located in Yangquan, Shanxi Province, China shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any legal proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection that such venue is inconvenient or improper. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service must be filed within one year after the cause of action arose, or such claim or cause of action shall be permanently barred, regardless of any statute of limitations or other law to the contrary. Within the scope of this section, you and StriveGuard each waive any right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service.

14. Dispute Resolution

StriveGuard is committed to resolving disputes fairly, efficiently, and in good faith. Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at hello@striveguard.hair and providing a detailed description of the nature and basis of your claim or dispute, along with the specific relief or remedy you are seeking. Within thirty calendar days of our receipt of your notice, both parties agree to engage in good-faith discussions aimed at resolving the matter amicably. If the parties are unable to reach an agreed resolution within sixty calendar days from the date of your initial notice, either party may proceed to pursue the remedies available under these Terms of Service, including initiating binding arbitration or litigation as applicable.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service — including the breach, termination, validity, or interpretation thereof, as well as any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them — that cannot be resolved through informal negotiation shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) in accordance with its then-current arbitration rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, or, failing such agreement within thirty days, appointed by CIETAC. The seat of arbitration shall be Beijing, China. The arbitral award shall be final and binding on both parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties agree to keep the existence of the arbitration, all documents submitted in the arbitration, and the arbitral award strictly confidential, except as may be necessary to enforce the award or as required by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, StriveGuard shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, confidential information, or other proprietary interests, or to prevent any actual or threatened breach of these Terms of Service that would cause immediate and irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate. Any such action for injunctive relief may be brought in any court having jurisdiction over the matter and over you, without the need for prior informal negotiation or arbitration. For the avoidance of doubt, the existence of this arbitration provision does not preclude either party from seeking provisional or interim measures from a competent court pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal or the issuance of the final award.

15. Changes to These Terms

StriveGuard reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to modify, amend, supplement, or replace these Terms of Service at any time and from time to time. When we make material changes, we will provide notice to you in one or more of the following ways: by posting a prominent notice on the Site, by updating the Effective Date at the top of this page, by sending an email to the address associated with your account (if applicable), or through other reasonable means. The form of notice we choose shall be at our sole discretion, and we encourage you to check this page periodically to stay informed of the current terms. Your continued use of the Site or our services after any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms of Service.

If you disagree with any change to these Terms of Service, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Site and our services and to terminate any active account you may maintain with us. Material changes are those that significantly alter the rights and obligations of either party under these terms, such as modifications to the limitation of liability, dispute resolution, or governing law provisions. Non-material changes — including formatting adjustments, clarifications of existing language, typographical error corrections, or updates to contact information — may be made without direct notification beyond updating the Effective Date on this page. No modification to these Terms of Service proposed by you or any third party in any communication shall be effective unless accepted in a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of StriveGuard.

18. General Provisions

Entire Agreement. These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices or agreements published by StriveGuard on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and StriveGuard concerning your use of the Site and our services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Service shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision in any particular jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties agree that the court or tribunal shall have the power to modify or replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

Waiver. No failure or delay by StriveGuard in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms of Service shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of StriveGuard. A waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service in one instance shall not be construed as a continuing waiver or as a waiver in any other instance.

Assignment. You may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms of Service to any other person or entity without the express prior written consent of StriveGuard. Any attempted assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void.

Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship, or employment relationship between you and StriveGuard. Neither party has the power or authority to bind the other or to incur any liability or obligation on behalf of the other party without the other partys prior written consent. Each party shall be solely responsible for its own expenses and costs incurred in connection with these Terms of Service, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in a separate written agreement.

Force Majeure. StriveGuard shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms of Service where such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, floods, fires, earthquakes, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, strikes, government orders or regulations, Internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, or denial-of-service attacks. StriveGuard shall use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable after the cessation of the force majeure event.
