THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION GIVEN BY KODEXIO' EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE THAT MAY BE RECOMMENDED FOR PURCHASE AND/OR USE WITH THE SERVICE) SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.

If you are dissatisfied with the Service or these Terms and Conditions, your sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement.


Domain Name Registration


At your request Kodexio may register a domain name(s), provided that you represent and warrant to Kodexio that any name you submit to Kodexio for registration and all intellectual property rights therein are owned exclusively by you at the time of the request, or that you have all necessary rights to register such name, and you agree to indemnify Kodexio against all losses incurred by Kodexio as a result of a breach of this warranty. You agree that any domain name Kodexio registers to use as part of your subscription or access to Kodexio's service(s) will be registered using Kodexio as the registrant, administrative, and technical points of contact. This in fact gives Kodexio full ownership of the domain name and it allows Kodexio to access the domain records as needed. Kodexio does not see retaining domain names for its own uses or reselling domain names as a primary business activity, but it may do so at its own discretion if you fail to request a domain name transferred to a different registrar during the domain expiry grace period. Kodexio regularly transfers domain names to clients who wish to use their domain for another purpose if the request is made while a FolioLink account is active or during the domain expiry grace period (it typically lasts 30-45 days). However, Kodexio retains the right to retain, transfer, renew or cancel any domain name it manages through its outsourced registrars. Furthermore, Kodexio shall not be responsible for its inability to register, transfer or renew any domain name(s). Clients who wish to transfer their domain to an account they own and manage with their own choice of registrar need to provide that transfer out request in writing at least 21 days before the domain's expiration date to ensure ample time for the transfer process to complete successfully. Unless and until a domain name is transferred to a Kodexio client the domain name shall be considered the property of Kodexio and Kodexio will be the sole recipient of all ICANN regulated notices including expiration and renewal notices.


Intellectual Property


All software programs in the service developed and operated by Kodexio are the property of Kodexio.
You agree not to remove our copyright text or make it hard to read.


You shall not copy, distribute, license, or resell the FolioLink service, designs, templates, or any web site created with The Service without Kodexio' prior written consent.


You may not use Kodexio' name in trademark, trade names or other proprietary identifying symbols without prior written approval.
Kodexio owns all of the right, title and interest in the FolioLink service, the assets included in FolioLink for building, presenting and delivering content and for creating design and template variations, and all derivative works comprised of those assets, including the FolioLink design and template variations that you create, modify, and capture in screen shots using the FolioLink service. You may use only the assets supplied with the FolioLink service to create template variations that will be used in the FolioLink service. All rights not expressly granted herein, are reserved by Kodexio.


With the exception of your uploaded images, MP3s, original text and/or video files created by you outside of the FolioLink service, in exchange for use of the FolioLink service, and to the extent that your contributions through use of the FolioLink service give rise to any copyright interest, you hereby grant Kodexio an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully transferable and sub-licensable worldwide right and license to use your contributions in any way and for any purpose in connection with the FolioLink service and related merchandise, including the rights to reproduce, copy, adapt, modify, perform, display, publish, broadcast, transmit, or otherwise communicate to the public by any means whether now known or unknown and distribute your contributions without any further notice or compensation to you of any kind for the whole duration of protection granted to intellectual property rights by applicable laws and international conventions. This right and license of your contributions granted to Kodexio survives any termination of your subscription to the FolioLink service. To illustrate, and without limiting the statements above, if you create a Template variation or a new Template design and upload it (pursuant to Kodexio' agreement) to the FolioLink service, you acknowledge and agree that any other person can make the same or different Template variation or other assets that you created with the FolioLink service without any compensation or notice to you.

Dispute Resolution. Any cause of action you may have with respect to the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action is barred. Any dispute relating to this Agreement that cannot be resolved by negotiation shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as amended by this Agreement. The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the prevailing party in the arbitration. Each party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its case. The parties agree that the arbitrator's authority to grant relief shall be subject to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1-16 et seq. ("USAA"), the provisions of this Agreement, and the ABA-AAA Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes. The arbitrator shall have no power to make any award that provides for punitive or exemplary damages. The arbitrator's decision shall follow the plain meaning of the relevant documents, and shall be final and binding. The award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. All post-award proceedings shall be governed by the USAA.


Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Service and can be modified only by Kodexio.


Modifications. Neither the course of conduct between you and us shall modify any provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by both you and us.

Severability. In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties and the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
