Fluid MSP’s inclusion of third-party links, content or services does not imply that Fluid MSP endorses such third-parties.

The Sites are provided to you "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" and with all faults and defects without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Fluid MSP, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates and its and their respective licensors and service providers, expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Sites, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice. Without limitation to the foregoing, Fluid MSP provides no warranty or undertaking, and makes no representation of any kind that the Sites and/or the Billing Portal will meet your requirements, achieve any intended results, be compatible or work with any other software, applications, systems or services, operate without interruption, meet any performance or reliability standards or be error free or that any errors or defects can or will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of or limitations on implied warranties or the limitations on the applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Fluid MSP be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, for loss of data/Content or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, for loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Sites, Billing Portal, the Third-Party Services, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Sites, any conduct of any user of the Sites, any information, materials, or content obtained from or through the Sites, unauthorized access, use or alteration of your transmissions or content, or otherwise in connection with any provision of these TOS), even if Fluid MSP has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. If this exclusion or limitation of liability is held inappropriate or unenforceable for any reason, our maximum liability for any type of damages shall not exceed $100.
All claims against Fluid MSP must be brought within one year of discovery or shall be forever barred.
If any provision of these TOS 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 will continue in full force and effect.
Except as provided herein, the failure to exercise a right or to require performance of an obligation under these TOS shall not affect a party's ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter nor shall be the waiver of a breach constitute waiver of any subsequent breach.
Fluid MSP reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace these TOS at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. We will post the notice of the changes on the homepage of our Sites, for seven days after making the changes. By continuing to access or use the Sites after any revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
You acknowledge and agree that if you provide us with your email address, you grant consent for us to send you notices related to the Sites, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. Therefore, you shall make sure the email address is current and accurate. If you do not want to receive legal notices through email messages, and prefer to receive legal notices by mail, please contact us and let us know.
Arbitration. Please read this Section carefully. It is part of your agreement with us, and it affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION.
You agree that any dispute related to these TOS, your use of the Sites, or any dispute related to your relationship with Fluid MSP or our affiliates, directors, officers, agents, shareholders, members, subsidiaries, parents, shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), located in San Diego, California. The AAA Rules of Arbitration shall govern all aspects of the arbitration you bring, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules of Arbitration are available on the AAA’s website, https://www.adr.org/rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, with the prevailing party to pay all costs and attorney fees. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Jury Trial Waiver. Please read this Section carefully. It is part of your agreement with us and affects your rights. It contains a WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
You hereby waive your constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Fluid MSP in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. Please read this Section carefully. It is part of your agreement with us and affects your rights. It contains a WAIVER OF YOUR CLASS ACTION RIGHTS.
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND FLUID MSP MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions of these TOS by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to team@fluidmsp.com within 30 days from the date that you first visited the Sites. If you send this notice, then the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions will not apply. You must bring claims per the Section labeled “Governing Law,” below. If you do not send this notice, then you agree to be bound by the terms of the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions in this Section. Agreeing to arbitration and waiving your rights to a jury trial and class action participation is an important decision for you to make. It can shorten the litigation process and result in cost savings, but it also takes away certain rights, such as the right to a trial in front of your peers. Thus, please take time to carefully consider the Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver and Class Action Waiver Provisions of these TOS. Since the information provided in these TOS is not intended to contain a complete explanation of the consequences of arbitration, class action or jury waiver, you may want to consult an attorney.
The laws of California, United States, excluding its conflicts of law rules, shall govern these TOS and your use of the Sites. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in San Diego, California. Your use of the Sites may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.

B. No Joint Venture/Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Fluid MSP as a result of these TOS or your use of the Sites.
C. Entire Agreement/Severability. If any part of these TOS is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the TOS shall continue in effect. Unless otherwise specified herein, these TOS constitutes the entire TOS between the user and Fluid MSP with respect to the Sites, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Fluid MSP with respect to the Sites.
D. Form of TOS/Language of TOS. A printed version of these TOS and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these TOS to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
