You represent and warrant that any information that you provide to Groq in connection with the Websites is complete, accurate, and current.

If we do this, depending on the nature of the change, we will post the changes on this page and indicate at the top of this page the date these Terms were last revised or notify you, either through the Website's user interface, in an email notification, or through other reasonable means and as required by applicable law. Except where otherwise prohibited by applicable law, your continued use of the Websites after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

You acknowledge and agree that the Websites may contain content that is protected by intellectual property rights, such as copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other rights and laws. You agree not to copy, modify, or create a derivative work of, sell, resell, sublicense, transfer, or distribute any content on the Websites, in whole or in part. In connection with your use of the Websites you will not engage in or use any data mining, robots, crawling, scraping, or data gathering or extraction methods.

Except for the limited license granted in Section 1, Groq and its licensors reserve all rights in and to the Websites, including all related intellectual property rights.

4.2 Trademarks. Groq’s logos, product and service names, slogans, and the look and feel of the Websites are owned by Groq and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. GROQ is a trademark or registered trademark of Groq in the U.S. and other countries. All other trademarks, registered trademarks, product names, and company names or logos mentioned on the Websites are the property of their respective owners. Reference to any products or services does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by us. Nothing contained on the Websites should be construed as granting any license, interest, or right of any kind to use any trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos appearing on the Websites without the express prior written consent of the owner.

4.3 Copyright Complaints. Groq respects the intellectual property of others. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please follow our Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement.

5. Third-Party Materials

The Websites may display links or references to third-party websites or other third-party material (“Third-Party Materials”). You acknowledge and agree that Groq is not responsible for examining or evaluating the content, accuracy, completeness, availability, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality, or any other aspect of such Third-Party Materials. We do not warrant or endorse and do not assume and will not have any liability or responsibility to you or any other person for any Third-Party Materials. Links to other websites are provided solely as a convenience to you. Your dealings or correspondence with third parties and your use of or interaction with any Third-Party Materials are solely between you and the third party. We have no obligation to monitor Third-Party Materials, and we may block or disable access to any Third-Party Materials (in whole or part) at any time. Your access to and use of such Third-Party Materials may be subject to additional terms, conditions, and policies applicable to such Third-Party Materials (including terms of service or privacy policies of the providers of such Third-Party Materials).

6. Feedback

If you elect to provide feedback or suggestions to Groq (“Feedback”), then Groq may use that Feedback without restriction and without obligation to you.

7. Product Listings

The Websites may make available listings, descriptions, and images of products, as well as references and links to products and pricing information (“Listings”). We attempt to ensure that any such Listings are complete, accurate, and current, but despite our efforts, the Listings may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, validity, or timeliness of such Listings (including any features, specifications, and prices contained in such Listings). Such Listings and the availability of any product (including the validity of any coupon or discount) are subject to change at any time without notice.

8. Reviews, Comments, Communications, and Other Content

Some of our Websites may allow you to post reviews, comments, and other content; and submit demonstrations, suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information (that is not submitted to us as Feedback), and you may do so, so long as the content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of spam. You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of content. Groq does not regularly review posted content but reserves the right (without obligation) to remove or edit such activity or content. If you do post content or submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant Groq a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media. You grant Groq and sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you post; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify Groq for all claims resulting from content you supply. Groq takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content posted by you or any third party.

9. Indemnity and Release

9.1 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Groq and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agents (“Groq Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), rights, claims, actions of any kind (including any inquiries or investigations), and injury arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Websites or your connection to the Websites, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any rights of any third party (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights). You will promptly notify Groq Parties of any such third-party claims. Groq reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and, in such case, you agree to cooperate with Groq in the defense of such matter. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in any written agreement between you and any Groq Parties.

9.2 Release. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Groq and the other Groq Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

10. Disclaimers

YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITES (INCLUDING ANY THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE WEBSITES, AND THE INFORMATION AND CONTENT PROVIDED ON OUR WEBSITES (INCLUDING ANY THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS), ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED, GROQ EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. GROQ MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT (A) THE WEBSITES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (B) THE WEBSITES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (C) THE RESULTS OR CONTENT THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE WEBSITES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR (D) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE WEBSITES WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS. WHILE GROQ ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR USE OF OUR WEBSITES AND ANY CONTENT PROVIDED ON OUR WEBSITES (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) SAFE, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR WEBSITES OR ANY CONTENT PROVIDED ON OUR WEBSITES (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS OR CONTENT OR MATERIALS.

11. Limitation of Liability

11.1 YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE GROQ PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF THE GROQ PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE.

11.2 IN NO EVENT WILL THE GROQ PARTIES' TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE WEBSITES, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, EXCEED USD$100.

11.3 THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 11 WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF THE GROQ PARTIES OR FOR ANY MATTERS IN WHICH LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. ADDITIONALLY, SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS STATED ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE WEBSITES OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE WEBSITES.

12. Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure

If you have a concern that needs special attention, Groq is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. However, we can only do this if we know about it. Therefore, for any concern you may have related to these Terms, you agree to first send a written description of it to our legal team so we have an opportunity to address it. You agree to work with Groq in good faith to resolve the concern. If for some reason the concern is not resolved satisfactorily within 60 days after we receive your email, and all necessary information, you may file a claim in accordance with the governing law and venue provisions below.

13. Governing Law and Venue

All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether California's conflicts of laws rules or any other jurisdiction). The state and federal courts located in the County of Santa Clara, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over such claims. You and Groq waive any objection to the venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.

14. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Groq and govern your use of the Websites, superseding any prior agreements between you and Groq with respect to the Websites. Except as otherwise provided, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. The failure of Groq to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Websites or these Terms must be filed within 1 year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms without the prior written consent of Groq, but Groq may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically. Notices may be sent by email or physical mail. Under no circumstances will Groq be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control. The Websites may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Websites.
