TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

Thank you for choosing Flowace.

Welcome to the Flowace Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”).

The Terms you see hereunder are important because they (i) Outline your legal rights on Flowace; (ii) Explain the rights you give to us when you use Flowace; (iii) Describe the rules everyone needs to follow when using Flowace; and (iv) Contain an agreement on how to resolve any disputes that may arise by arbitration.

Your use of Flowace is governed by the following Terms. By accepting the Terms or by using or by continuing to use Flowace, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Terms, accept these Terms and agree to be bound by them. If you don’t agree with (or cannot comply with) the Terms, then you may not use Flowace. Therefore, please read the same carefully.

The Owner may modify or change the Terms or introduce any additional terms that apply to the Services from time to time to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to the Services. You agree and accept to check the Terms and the changes regularly. The Owner will post notice of modifications to the Terms on the Services. Changes to the Terms will become effective as soon as they are posted. Your continued use of Flowace subsequent to such change is construed as your acceptance of those changes.

If there is a conflict between the Terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will override the Terms. The Terms control the relationship between the Owner and the Customer and/ or the Users. They do not create any third-party beneficiary rights. If the User and/or the Customer does not comply with the Terms and the Owner refrains from taking action right away, it does not mean giving up/waiver of the right altogether that
the Owner possesses (such as taking action in the future) and non-applicability of a term or if it turns out that a term cannot be enforced, the other terms are to stay unaffected.
