5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Our Property: The Service, including its design, software, graphics, text, and other content provided by ExoRealms (but excluding User Content), is owned by or licensed to ExoRealms and is protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features without our prior written consent.

5.2 Feedback: Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide about the Service ("Feedback") are voluntary. You grant ExoRealms a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, incorporate, and commercialize such Feedback without any obligation to you.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXOREALMS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. EXOREALMS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. EXOREALMS DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY USER CONTENT OR OTHER CONTENT ON THE SERVICE.

7. Limitation of Liability

7.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EXOREALMS, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF EXOREALMS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7.2 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXOREALMS'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO EXOREALMS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ExoRealms and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of or access to the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (e) your infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property or other right of any third party. ExoRealms reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with ExoRealms's defense of those claims.

9. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

9.1 Informal Resolution: Before filing any formal legal proceeding, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at support@exorealms.com. We will try to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.

9.2 Binding Arbitration: If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (including any question of its existence, validity, or termination) shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

9.3 Class Action Waiver: YOU AND EXOREALMS EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both parties waive any right to a jury trial and waive the right to participate in a class action.

9.4 Exceptions: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

9.5 Opt-Out: You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@exorealms.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration under Section 9, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

11. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date above and, where practicable, provide notice through the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any reason or no reason, without notice and without liability. Upon termination, all licenses granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Sections 2.2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 shall survive termination.

13. Miscellaneous

13.1 Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms you agree to, constitute the entire agreement between you and ExoRealms regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.

13.2 Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

13.3 No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.

13.4 Assignment: You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may freely assign these Terms.
