- This Terms of Service Agreement, along with specific pricing as advertised by the Company, constitutes the entire agreement between the Client and MCG, and governs the Client’s access to the Service, superseding any prior agreements between the Client and MCG (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service or any prior Letters of Engagement). It is agreed that there is no representation, warranty, collateral agreement or condition affecting these Terms of Service except as expressly provided for or mentioned by this Agreement.
- For any portions of this Terms of Service which specify separate terms or provisions based on the residence or location of the Client based on national, state, provincial, or other territorial location, then such terms will apply to the Client based on such location distinction.
- This Terms of Service Agreement is severable. If any provision of these Term of Service is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions of this Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.
- MCG reserves the right to refuse service, terminate subscriptions or limit access to the Services for any reason, and any such determination will be made in our sole discretion. We will undertake reasonable action to notify the Client affected by any of the forgoing measures.
- If any questions arise about these Terms of Service, the applicable parties may contact MCG at: [email protected]
- MCG retains the right to update this Terms of Service Agreement at any time, and will not be liable in any way to the Client or any third party for doing so in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
- If this Agreement is an updated or revised version of an agreement between the Client and MCG, the Client demonstrates their continued consent to the terms of this updated or revised agreement through the Client’s continued subscription to and use of the Services, having been notified of the updated agreement via email from the Company. If the Client does not consent to any of the updated or revised terms of the agreement, the Client is required to immediately cease use of the Website and Services.
- By clicking “I Accept” or “I Agree”, the Client acknowledges having received, read, understood and agree to be bound by this Terms of Service, including the Company’s Privacy Policy. The Client agrees that their electronic signature is the legal equivalent of a manual ink signature and that an electronic signature will be deemed an original and may be used as evidence of execution. The Client further agrees that use of a keypad, mouse or other device to select an item, button, icon or similar act/action signifying acceptance constitutes their signature as if actually signed by the Client in writing. The Client also agrees that no certification authority or other third party verification is necessary to validate their electronic signature, and the lack of such certification or third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of such electronic signature. This Terms of Service Agreement will be deemed to satisfy any writings requirements of any applicable law, notwithstanding that the agreement set out in this Agreement is written and accepted electronically. All contracts between the Client and MCG completed electronically will be deemed for all legal purposes to be in writing and legally enforceable as a signed written agreement.
