PART IV – ADDITIONAL TERMS

  1. Except when required by law, Tailwind shall be under no obligation to issue refunds under any circumstances. All fees are non-refundable. In the event that Tailwind determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that you are entitled to a refund of all or part of the fees you paid, such refund shall be made using the payment method originally used by you to make your purchase. Tailwind may decide, in its sole and absolute discretion, that you are entitled to a refund in certain situations, which may include, but are not limited to, situations where an Image fails to meet certain specifications, e.g., Ground Sample Distance, cloud cover, quality (meaning an Image that is of poor quality, blurry, hazy, has read-out issues, etc.) lighting conditions, shadow conditions, over exposure or underexposure, etc.
  2. If Tailwind is required to collect indirect and/or transactional taxes (such as sales tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, et al) under the laws of your state or country of residence, you shall be liable for payment of any such indirect tax. Where Tailwind or you are required to collect or remit direct or indirect taxes, you may be required to self-assess said tax under the applicable laws of your country of residence.
  3. If you use any Image as part of work product created for or delivered to a client or customer, you will disclose the identities of such clients or customers to Tailwind, upon Tailwind’s reasonable request.
  4. Arbitration.
    1. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding individual (not class) arbitration administered under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, rather than in court, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. The place of arbitration shall be Colorado Springs, Colorado. The language of the arbitration shall be English. There shall be one arbitrator to be mutually agreed by the parties. Each party shall bear its own costs in the arbitration. Both parties 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: (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; (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack) (iii) any claim arising solely from Customer’s alleged failure to pay fees due to Tailwind. This arbitration provision will survive termination of this Agreement.
    2. YOU AND TAILWIND AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOU/YOUR/ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and Tailwind agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. You and Tailwind acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable disputes under this Agreement.
    3. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the limitations in this Part IV, Section 4 as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
  5. This Agreement shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning of the language hereof. This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
  6. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of your employer or other entity, you warrant and represent that you have the full right and authority to do so. In the event that you do not have such authority, you agree that you will be personally liable to Tailwind for any breaches of the terms of this Agreement.
  7. You may not assign this Agreement without Tailwind’s prior written approval.
  8. If any individual term of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by any legal or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction, such finding will be limited solely to such invalid or unenforceable part, without affecting the remaining parts of such individual term, or any other part of this Agreement, so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
  9. You expressly agree that any feedback provided to you by Tailwind or its representatives regarding any questions you may have about this Agreement or your use of any Image licensed hereunder, is solely for the purpose of interpreting this Agreement and is not legal advice. Tailwind cannot render legal advice to you and expressly disclaims any liability of any kind related to any feedback provided by Tailwind or its representatives.

Tailwind shall be under no obligation to refund any fees paid by you in the event that your account is terminated by reason of a breach.
  12. Except as expressly set forth herein, Tailwind grants no rights and makes no warranties, with regard to the use of personally identifiable information that may be contained in any Image, trademarks, trade dress or copyrighted designs or works of art or architecture depicted in any Image.
  13. Tailwind’s liability under any individual license purchased hereunder shall not exceed the “Limit of Liability” applicable to the license in effect at the time customer knows or should have known of the claim, and is without regard to the number of times the subject
    Image is licensed or used by you.
  14. Tailwind does not warrant that the Image, Tailwind websites, or other materials will meet your requirements or that use will be uninterrupted or error free. The entire risk as to the quality, performance and use of the Image is solely with you.
  15. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, franchisor/franchisee or employer-employee relationship between you and the Company.
  16. After this Agreement terminates, the terms of this Agreement that expressly or by their nature contemplate performance after this Agreement terminates or expires will survive and continue in full force and effect. For example, the provisions protecting intellectual property, requiring indemnification, payment of licensing fees. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement for any reason will not release you or the Company from any obligations incurred prior to termination of this Agreement or that thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such termination.
  17. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between you and the Company relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and cancels and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, representations, warranties, and other communications between you and the Company, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof and thereof. The section headings in this Agreement are included for ease of reference only and have no binding effect. Even though the Company drafted this Agreement, you represent that you had ample time to review and decide whether to agree to this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation of this Agreement arises, no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring you or the Company because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
  18. The parties to this Agreement will not be responsible for the failure to perform or any delay in performance of any obligation hereunder for a reasonable period due to labor disturbances, accidents, fires, floods, telecommunications or Internet failures, strikes, wars, riots, rebellions, blockades, acts of government, pandemics, epidemics, governmental requirements and regulations or restrictions imposed by law or any other similar conditions beyond the reasonable control of such party.
