Your use of the service may involve the collection, processing, storage, and analysis of account information, usage data, content, and other data necessary to operate or improve the service.

11. Third-party services and integrations
The service may rely on or integrate with third-party products, infrastructure, payment processors, APIs, identity providers, analytics tools, or app marketplaces. Those components may be subject to separate terms. We are not responsible for third-party services beyond what cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Mobile app marketplace terms
If you access a mobile application distributed through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another marketplace, you acknowledge that the marketplace operator is not a party to this agreement and may impose additional terms on your download or use of the app.
For Apple-distributed apps, you and we acknowledge that:

13. Intellectual property
Except for user content and third-party materials licensed separately, the service and all associated software, interfaces, workflows, branding, designs, documentation, text, graphics, and other materials are owned by SV North Technologies Inc., doing business as Silicon Valley North, or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. This agreement grants only a limited license to use the service and does not transfer ownership.
14. Warranty disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, fitness for every intended purpose, or compatibility with every device, workflow, or third-party system.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the service or this agreement is limited to the amount you paid us for the relevant service during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, business, goodwill, reputation, or anticipated savings.
Nothing in this agreement excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
16. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SV North Technologies Inc., doing business as Silicon Valley North, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your content, your misuse of the service, your violation of law, or your breach of this agreement.
17. Governing law and dispute resolution
This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Except where court relief is expressly permitted below or prohibited by law, disputes arising from or relating to this agreement or the service will be resolved by binding arbitration seated in Vancouver, British Columbia, conducted in English, and administered under the rules of the ADR Institute of Canada by a single arbitrator.
Either party may seek relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in British Columbia for intellectual property disputes, injunctive relief, enforcement of arbitration awards, or matters that cannot lawfully be arbitrated.
