Please read carefully. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Site.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and all content, downloads, and services on it are provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lightyard and its suppliers and licensors expressly disclaim all warranties and conditions, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components; that defects will be corrected; or that the Site or any download will meet your requirements. Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through the Site is accessed at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for any damage to your computer, device, or data that results.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) In no event will Lightyard or its owners, members, officers, employees, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or data; business interruption; or damage to, or malfunction of, any computer, device, hardware, operating system, or other software, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site, under any theory of liability, even if Lightyard has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(b) Lightyard's total cumulative liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Site will not exceed the greater of (i) the total amount you actually paid Lightyard in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) fifty U.S. dollars (US$50.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some or all of the above may not apply to you; in such jurisdictions, Lightyard's liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

12. Governing law; binding arbitration; class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects how disputes are resolved.

12.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and, where applicable, the United States Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

12.2 Informal resolution first. Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact us at support@winstrix.app and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith.

12.3 Binding individual arbitration. Except as provided in Section 12.6, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-current applicable rules (including its Consumer Arbitration Rules where they apply), and not in court. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language and seated in Pinellas County, Florida, or, at your election, by telephone/video or on documents only. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.

12.4 Class-action and jury-trial waiver. You and Lightyard agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding. You and Lightyard each waive any right to a jury trial.

12.5 30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (Sections 12.3–12.4) by sending written notice to support@winstrix.app within 30 days of your first acceptance of these Terms, stating your name and intent to opt out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 12.7.

12.6 Exceptions. Either party may (a) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information, and (b) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies.

12.7 Forum for non-arbitrable matters. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and Lightyard consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Pinellas County, Florida.

12.8 Limitations period. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after it arises; otherwise it is permanently barred.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lightyard LLC and its owners, members, officers, employees, suppliers, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any law or any third-party right.

14. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@winstrix.app (or to our designated agent at 7901 4th St N STE 300, St. Petersburg, FL 33702) that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf. We may remove allegedly infringing material and terminate repeat infringers.

15. Changes to the Site and to these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Site at any time without notice or liability. We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version with a new "Effective date." Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Site.

16. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without cause or notice. Sections 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 17 survive termination.

17. General

17.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the EULA, the Privacy Policy, and any commerce-provider terms, are the entire agreement between you and Lightyard regarding the Site and supersede all prior understandings.

17.2 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. If the class-action waiver in Section 12.4 is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court under Section 12.7, while arbitration of all other claims continues.

17.3 No waiver. No failure or delay in exercising any right waives it.

17.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

17.5 Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

17.6 Consumer rights. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any right or remedy you may have that cannot be limited or excluded under the mandatory law of your jurisdiction.

17.7 Headings; language. Headings are for convenience only. The governing language of these Terms is English.
