1. Scope of ITI Services
1.1 Scope. Welcome to OperatorPro, provided by ITI. The Services allow individuals or entities who use the Services (each, an “Operator”) to create a customized digital log book of equipment operation, which includes features such as:
i. recording of equipment use, equipment operation or shifts, activities (such as lift details, mobilization time goals, load descriptions and training sessions) and hours of use (collectively, “Shifts”);
ii. filtering, creating, editing, duplicating or deleting Shift information;
iii. posting and sharing Shift data with other Operators;
iv. interacting with other Operators and provide feedback relating to their Shifts;
v. the completion of equipment competence evaluations; and
vi. the creation and editing of digital images of physical certification cards.
1.2 No Endorsement. As the provider of the Services, ITI does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, endorse or supply: (i) any Operator services provided outside of the Services, including, without limitation, any crane rigging, equipment handling or otherwise (collectively, “Operator Activities”); or (ii) any equipment discussed by any Operator through the Services. Operators alone are responsible for their performance of any Activities. ITI is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Operator, except as specified in these Terms.
1.3 No Control. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, ITI has no control over and does not guarantee: (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Operators or the information provided by such Operators; (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Shifts, reviews, resumes or other Operator Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance of any Operator Activities or the conduct of any Operator or third party. ITI does not endorse any Operator or its Activities. You should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to rely on any Operator-provided information, or communicate and interact with other Operators, whether online or in person.
1.4 Independent Contractor. If you choose to use the Services, your relationship with ITI is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of ITI for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of ITI. ITI does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control you generally or in your performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with any Operator Activities. You acknowledge and agree that you have complete discretion whether to list your Shifts or Activities or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities.
1.5 Display of Operator Content. To promote the Services and to increase the exposure of such Services, Operator Content (as defined below) may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements. To assist Operators who speak different languages, Services and other Operator Content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages from time to time in the discretion of ITI. ITI cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and Operators are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations.
1.6 Third Parties. The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. ITI is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement in any way by ITI of such Third-Party Services.
1.7 No Guarantee. Due to the nature of the Internet and mobile application services, ITI cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Services. ITI may restrict the availability of the Services or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of Services. ITI may improve, enhance and modify the Services and introduce new Services from time to time.

2.2 Compliance. You will comply with any applicable export control laws in your local jurisdiction. You also represent and warrant that: (i) neither you nor your Operator Activities are located or take place in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
2.3 Access and Use. ITI may make access to and use of the Services, or certain areas or features of the Services, subject to certain conditions or requirements, such as completing a verification process or meeting specific quality or eligibility criteria. The access to or use of certain areas and features of the Services may be subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that you accept additional terms and conditions, before you can access the relevant areas or features of the Services. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms and conditions applicable to a specific area or feature of the Services, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your access to or use of that area or feature, unless specified otherwise in the latter terms and conditions.
2.4 Operator Verification. Operator verification through the Services is difficult and we do not assume any responsibility for the confirmation of any Operator’s identity. Notwithstanding the above, for transparency and fraud prevention purposes, and as permitted by applicable laws, we may, but have no obligation to: (i) ask Operators to provide information or undertake additional checks designed to help verify the identities or backgrounds of Operators, or (ii) screen Operators against third party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers.
3. Modification of these Terms. ITI reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time, and from time to time, in accordance with this provision. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Application and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. We will also provide you with notice of the modifications by email at least thirty (30) days before the date they become effective. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate these Terms with immediate effect by: (i) no longer accessing the Service in any capacity; and (ii) deleting or removing any access to the Services you may have on your phone, tablet, computer or otherwise. If you do not terminate these Terms before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the Services will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
4. Account Registration

If you are registering an Account for a business, organization or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind that entity and grant us all permissions and licenses provided in these Terms.
4.2 Procedure.

You must immediately notify ITI if you know or have any reason to suspect that your credentials have been lost, stolen, misappropriated, or otherwise compromised or in case of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Account. You are liable for any and all activities conducted through your Account, unless such activities are not authorized by you and you are not otherwise negligent (such as failing to report the unauthorized use or loss of your credentials).
4.5 Credentials; Operator Connections. ITI may enable features that allow you to authorize other Operators or certain third parties to take certain actions that affect your Account. For example, we may enable Operators to have the ability to connect with other Operators in order to review and approve Shift activity or complete equipment competence applications. These features do not require that you share your Account credentials with any other person. No third party is authorized by ITI to ask for your credentials, and you shall not request the Account credentials of another Operator.
5. Content
5.1 Operator Content; ITI Content. ITI may, at its sole discretion, enable Operators to: (i) create, upload, post, send, receive and store content, such as text, photos, notes, equipment information, Activity information, or other materials and information on or through the Services (“Operator Content”); and (ii) access and view Operator Content, and any content that ITI itself makes available on or through the Services, including, without limitation, proprietary ITI content, intellectual property and any content licensed or authorized for use by or through ITI from a third party (“ITI Content,” and together with Operator Content, “Collective Content”).

Insofar as Operator Content includes personal information, such Operator Content will only be used for these purposes if such use complies with applicable data protection laws in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Unless you provide specific consent, ITI does not claim any ownership rights in any Operator Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to use or exploit your Operator Content.
5.6 Responsibility for Operator Content. You are solely responsible for all Operator Content that you make available on or through the Services. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all Operator Content that you make available on or through the Services or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to ITI the rights in and to such Operator Content, as contemplated under these Terms; and (ii) neither the Operator Content nor your posting, uploading, publication, submission or transmittal of the Operator Content or ITI's use of the Operator Content (or any portion thereof) as contemplated under these Terms will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Most Orders are completed through our online payment process or via in-app purchase. All payments are due in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated on the Order Form or invoice. You are responsible for providing true, complete and accurate billing and contact information to ITI and updating ITI of any changes to the same. All fees paid are non-refundable for the Subscription Term unless otherwise set forth in these Terms and are not subject to set-off by you. "Subscription Term" means the initial term of your subscription to the applicable Service, as specified on your Order Form(s), and each subsequent renewal term (if any). For Free Trials, the Subscription Term will be the period during which you have an account to access the Services. “Free Trials” means the Service (whether limited or otherwise) or other products or features made available by us to you on an unpaid trial or free basis.
6.2 Invoicing & Payment. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form, all fees will be invoiced or billed in advance. All invoices issued under these Terms are due and payable according to the payment terms in the Order Form, if applicable, or within 30 days from invoice send date. If you are paying by credit card, all fees are due and payable immediately, unless otherwise specified in a specific Order Form. If you require the use of a purchase order or purchase order number, you: (a) must provide the purchase order number at the time of purchase; and (b) agree that any terms and conditions contained in such purchase order will not apply to these Terms and are void.
6.3 Credit Card Payment. If you provide ITI with credit card information for payment, you acknowledge that an invoice may not be sent, and you hereby authorize ITI to charge the credit card for the Services listed in the Order Form on the payment schedule set forth in the Order Form for the Term of use of the Services, and any renewal. If you pay by credit card, you hereby authorize ITI to charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable during the Subscription Term. You further authorize ITI to use a third party to process payments, and you hereby consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party.
ITI MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY, RENEWALS, ADDITIONAL ORDERS, AND FEES) DURING THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY ITI) THAT YOU WILL TERMINATE THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISHES TO CHANGE THE PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE ITI RECEIVES YOUR NOTICE.
6.4 Free Trials and Other Promotions. Any free trial or other promotion that provides you with access to Services must be used within the specified time of the trial. IF YOU ARE IN A TRIAL PERIOD AND YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED A METHOD OF PAYMENT TO ITI FOR THE USE OF THE SERVICES, ITI MAY CHARGE SUCH METHOD OF PAYMENT AUTOMATICALLY AT THE END OF THE TRIAL, UNLESS YOU NOTIFY ITI THAT YOU WANT TO CANCEL THE USE OF THE SERVICES.
6.5 Discontinuation of Services. If you choose to discontinue, cancel or terminate any Services for which you have agreed to in an Order Form before the end of the Subscription Term agreed to in such Order Form, ITI shall have the right to immediately invoice you or bill your authorized credit card for any balance due for the remainder of the Subscription Term.
6.6 Late Payments. Past due amounts are subject to a finance charge equal to the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by law from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be solely and exclusively responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by ITI in collecting past due amounts. If your fees are past due, ITI may suspend the Services automatically and provide notice of termination to you for material breach.
6.7 Billing Disputes. If you dispute any invoices, fees or charges, you must send ITI written notice within thirty (30) days after the date that ITI invoices or bills you for the disputed amount. Otherwise, such invoices, fees or charges shall be considered irrevocably accepted and correct by you.

You shall have no liability for any taxes based upon our gross revenues or net income. If you are located in the European Union, all fees are exclusive of any VAT and you represent that you are registered for VAT purposes in your member state. At our request, you will provide us with the VAT registration number under which you are registered in your member state. If you do not provide us with a VAT registration number prior to your transaction being processed, we will not issue refunds or credits for any VAT that was charged. If you are subject to GST, all fees are exclusive of GST. If you are required to deduct or withhold any tax, you must pay the amount deducted or withheld as required by law and pay us an additional amount so that we receive payment in full as if there were no deduction or withholding.

When creating an Account or Shift information through the Services you must: (i) provide complete and accurate information about your Account or Shift; (ii) act in accordance with these Terms; and (iii) provide any other pertinent information requested by ITI from time to time. You are responsible for keeping your Account and Shift information up-to-date at all times.

Any agreement formed between any Operator and Connected Operator may not conflict with these Terms, the Services or any other Policies applicable to your use of the Services. ITI reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to limit the number of Connected Operators that an Operator may connect with through the Services.
7.2.2 Operators should exercise due diligence and care when deciding who to add as a Connected Operator. Operators remain solely and exclusively responsible and liable for any and all Operator Content published through the Services, including any Operator Content created by a Connected Operator on their behalf. Further, Operators remain responsible and liable for their own acts and omissions, including, without limitation, conduct that causes harm or damage to any Connected Operator. Connected Operators remain responsible and liable for their own acts and omissions when engaging in their roles and responsibilities as a Connected Operator, including, without limitation, conduct that causes harm or damage to any other Operator. In addition, both the Operator and Connected Operator are jointly responsible and severally liable for any third party claims arising from or related to the acts and omissions of the other Operator as related to the use of the Services between Operators and any Connected Operators.
7.2.3 Operators and Connected Operators may terminate their connection at any time. In addition, both the Operator and Connected Operator acknowledge that their connection will terminate in the event that ITI terminates an Operator’s or Connected Operator’s access to the Services. When the connection between an Operator and Connected Operator is terminated, the Operator will remain responsible for all of the Connected Operator’s actions prior to the termination, including the posting or addition of any information relating to such relationship initiated prior to the termination. When an Operator is removed as a Connected Operator, that Operator will no longer have access to any Operator information related to the applicable Operator relationship with a Connected Operator.
7.2.4 Reviews of an Operator by a Connected Operator solely reflect the opinions of individual Operators and do not reflect the opinions of ITI. Reviews are not verified by ITI for accuracy and may be incorrect or misleading. Operators are prohibited from manipulating the Services or review system in place in any manner, such as instructing a Connected Operator to write a positive or negative review about another Operator.
8. Damage to Services, Disputes between Operators.

8.2 Disputes. If another Operator claims and provides evidence that you have caused any damage to personal or other property arising out of or relating to your use of the Services (“Damage Claim”), ITI shall have no liability or responsibility whatsoever regarding such Damage Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Operators agree to cooperate with and assist ITI in good faith, and to provide ITI with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by ITI, in connection with any Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Operators relating to the Services or any personal or other property damaged during any use of the Services.

Neither ITI nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services or Collective Content will be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with: (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the Services or Collective Content, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Operators or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of the Services, or (iv) from your publishing of any information from the Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not ITI has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
In no event will ITI’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the Services including, without limitation, from your publishing of any information in the Application, or from the use of or inability to use the Services, ITI Content or Collective Content, or interactions with any other Operators, exceed the amounts you have paid to ITI to utilize the Services in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or one hundred U.S. dollars (U.S. $100.00), if no such payments have been made, as applicable. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between ITI and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. The disclaimers above do not affect ITI’s liability for any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ABSENT YOUR AGREEMENT TO THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE TO YOU.
13. Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at ITI’s option), indemnify, and hold ITI and its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns and their respective members, managers, owners, officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, fees, claims, causes of action and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms or our Policies; (ii) your improper use of the Services; (iii) your interaction with any Operator, your use of any Operator Activities, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such use; or (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.
14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement.
14.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if your: (i) country of residence or establishment is in the United States; or (ii) your country of residence or establishment is not in the United States, but bring any claim against ITI in the United States (to the extent not in conflict with Section 16).
14.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. ITI is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 14.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with ITI’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 14 and except as provided in Section 14.6). Specifically, the Consumer Arbitration Rules provide:
· Claims can be filed with AAA online (www.adr.org);
· Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
· Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
· Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
· The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
· The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
· The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.
14.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating any arbitration, you and ITI each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact ITI’s customer service team by using the contact information from the Contact Us page. If, after a good faith effort to negotiate, one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
14.4 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and ITI mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Services or the Collective Content (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and ITI agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
14.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and ITI each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction under Section 16: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; or (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
14.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.
14.7 Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, ITI agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted: (a) in Seattle, King County, Washington; (b) in any other location to which you and ITI both agree; (c) via phone or video conference; or (d) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
14.8 Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You and ITI agree that the party initiating arbitration will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AAA Rules in excess of $200 for claims of $75,000 or less. Either you or us may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules.
14.9 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
14.10 Jury Trial Waiver. EACH OF THE YOU AND ITI WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ARBITRABLE DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS.
14.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and ITI acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class representative in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and ITI both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section 14.11 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section 14.11 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and you and ITI agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.
14.12 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of these Terms”), if ITI changes this Section 14 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of ITI’s email to you notifying you of such change. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and ITI (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and ITI.
14.13 Survival. Except as provided in Section 14.12 and subject to Section 10.8, this Section 14 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Services or terminate your Account.
15. Feedback. We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Services (collectively, “Feedback”). You may submit Feedback by emailing us, through the “Contact Us” section of the Services, or by other means of communication provided through the Services or Application. Any Feedback you submit to us will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary to you. By submitting Feedback to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use and publish those ideas and materials for any purpose, and create derivative works thereof, without compensation to you.
16. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms and your use of the Services are exclusively governed and interpreted by the laws of the state of Washington, without reference or regard to Washington’s conflict of laws provisions. Subject to Section 14, you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to submit any legal action or proceeding relating to these Terms or arising out of the relationship of the parties to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the state of Washington located in King County and the courts of the United States located in the Western District of Washington and, in any such action or proceeding, consent to jurisdiction in such courts and waive any objection to the venue in any such court. If any suit or action is instituted in connection with any controversy arising out of these Terms or to enforce any rights hereunder, the substantially prevailing party, as determined by the adjudicator in the suit or action, shall be entitled to recover, in addition to costs, such sums as the court may find reasonable as attorneys’ fees, including litigation expenses and costs, and such similar sums incurred on any appeal.
17. General Provisions.
17.1 Entire Agreement. Except as they may be supplemented by additional or replacement terms and conditions from time to time by ITI and any Policies, these Terms constitute the entire agreement and understanding between ITI and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between ITI and you in relation to the access to and use of the Services.
17.2 No Rights Granted. These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you, ITI, ITI’s affiliates, and ITI’s successors and assigns.
17.3 Severability. Each provision of these Terms shall be considered severable such that if any one provision or clause conflicts with applicable law, or may not be given full effect because of such law, this shall not affect any other provision of the Terms that can be given effect without the conflicting provision of clause; provided; however, that such provision shall be modified, to the minimum extent possible and necessary, to be enforceable to the fullest extent and in compliance with any such applicable laws, prior to it being severed from these Terms in its entirety.
17.5 Waiver. ITI’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.
17.6 Assignment. You may not assign, transfer or delegate these Terms and your rights and obligations hereunder without ITI's prior written consent. ITI may at any time and from time to time, without restriction, assign, transfer or delegate these Terms and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion. Your right to terminate these Terms at any time remains unaffected.
17.7 Communications. Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications to Operators permitted or required under these Terms, will be provided electronically and given by ITI via email, Application notification, or messaging service (including SMS).
