4.2 A Party’s rights under these Terms will automatically terminate without notice from Pangea.ai if (i) the Party fails to comply with the Terms or any Pangea.ai Policies, (ii) the Party has violated applicable laws, regulations or third party rights, or (iii) such action is necessary to protect the personal safety or property of Pangea.ai, its Users, its Vendors, or third parties. In case of such termination, said Party must cease all use of the Platform and the Pangea.ai Platform, and Pangea.ai may immediately revoke the access to the Platform and Pangea.ai Platform without notice to said Party and without refund of any fees.

4.3 NEITHER PANGEA.AI NOR ANY OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OF PANGEA.AI SHALL BE LIABLE TO EACH PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER LOSS INCURRED BY SUCH PARTY OR THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS AND THE PLATFORM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES THE LIMITATIONS HEREIN ON PANGEA.AI’ LIABILITY AND AGREE THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THESE TERMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND PANGEA.AI HAS RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE EACH PARTY THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND USE THE PLATFORM PROVIDED FOR IN THESE TERMS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to a Party. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, PANGEA.AI’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

4.4 These Terms constitute the entire agreement, and supersede any and all prior agreements between a Party and Pangea.ai with regards to the use and access to the Pangea.ai Platform. These Terms shall apply in lieu of the terms or conditions in any purchase order or other order documentation the Party or any entity which the Party represent provides (all such terms or conditions being null and void), and, except as expressly stated herein, there are no other agreements, representations, warranties, or commitments which may be relied upon by either Party with respect to the Platform.

4.5 We may amend these Terms from time to time, in which case the new Terms will supersede prior versions. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Platform and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. We will notify each Party not less than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such amendment and the Party’s continued use of Pangea.ai Platform and the Platform following the effective date of any such amendment may be relied upon by Pangea.ai’s as the Party’s consent to any such amendment. We will inform you about your right to terminate the Agreement in the notification email. If you do not terminate your Agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the Platform will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms. Pangea.ai’s failure to enforce at any time any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision of the Terms.

4.6 If any provision in these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as to best accomplish the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in effect.
