DISCLAIMERS
Grovero does not guarantee that the site, any content, service, or feature of the site will operate without errors or interruption, or that any defects will be fixed, or that your use of the site will provide specific results. The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” All information on the site is subject to change without notice. Grovero cannot guarantee that files or other data you download from the site will be free from viruses or other harmful elements. Grovero disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, non-infringement, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose. Grovero is not liable for the acts or omissions of any third parties in connection with your use of the site or services.
You assume full responsibility for your use of the site and any linked sites. If you are dissatisfied with the site or any content, your sole remedy is to stop using the site.
The above disclaimer applies to any damages, liabilities, or injuries caused by performance failure, errors, omissions, interruptions, delays, viruses, communication failures, theft, unauthorized access, or any other cause of action, whether in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise.
Grovero reserves the right to: (1) modify, suspend, or discontinue operation of the site or any part of the site without notice; (2) update or change the site or any of its content, policies, or terms; and (3) interrupt or suspend the operation of the site as needed for maintenance or other reasons.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Except as prohibited by law, Grovero shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, or preventive damages, including lost profits, even if Grovero has been advised of the risk of such damages.
If, despite any other provision in these Terms of Use, Grovero is found liable to you for any damages arising from or related to your use of the site or its content, Grovero’s liability will not exceed (1) the total amount of any subscription or similar fees for any service or feature used in the six months preceding the original claim filed against Grovero (excluding the purchase price of any products or support programs), or (2) €100. In jurisdictions that do not allow limitations of liability, this limitation may not apply to you.
COMPENSATION
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Grovero and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, subsidiaries, and affiliates from any claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including legal fees) brought by third parties due to or arising from your use of the site.
VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE
Grovero may disclose information about you (including your identity) if it is necessary to conduct any investigation or respond to a complaint related to your use of the site. This includes taking action against anyone who harms or infringes upon Grovero’s rights or the rights of users of the site. Grovero reserves the right to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests.
You acknowledge that Grovero may retain and disclose any communications originating from you through the site as required by law, or if Grovero determines that such retention or disclosure is necessary to comply with legal processes, enforce these Terms of Use, respond to infringement claims, or protect the rights and safety of Grovero, its employees, users, or the public.
You agree that Grovero may, at its sole discretion and without notice, terminate your access to the site and/or block future access if it determines you have violated these Terms of Use or other related agreements. Violations may result in unlawful business practices that cause irreparable harm to Grovero, for which monetary damages would be insufficient. You consent to Grovero seeking injunctive or other equitable relief as deemed necessary. These remedies are in addition to any other legal remedies available to Grovero.
You also agree that Grovero may terminate your access to the site for reasons including but not limited to (1) requests from law enforcement or other government agencies, (2) self-initiated account deletion, (3) material modifications to the site, or (4) unforeseen technical issues.
If Grovero takes legal action against you for violating these Terms of Use, you agree to reimburse Grovero for all reasonable legal fees incurred in that action, in addition to any other relief awarded to Grovero. Grovero shall not be liable to you or any other party for termination of access due to violations of these Terms of Use.
APPLICABLE LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION
You agree that all matters relating to your access to or use of the site, including any disputes, will be governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict of law principles. You consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and waive any objections to such jurisdiction or venue.
Any action under these Terms of Use must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; after this period, such claims are barred. Claims under separate terms and conditions for the purchase of goods and services are not subject to this limitation.
The only relief that can be claimed consists of out-of-pocket expenses, with the understanding that the successful party is entitled to reimbursement of the costs of the proceedings and legal assistance incurred. In the event of any dispute between Grovero and you arising out of or relating to your use of the site, the parties will attempt to resolve the dispute promptly and in good faith. If the dispute cannot be resolved within a reasonable time (not exceeding thirty (30) days), either party may submit the dispute to arbitration. If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, the parties are free to seek any right or remedy available under applicable law.
VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW
Grovero controls and operates the site from its headquarters in the Netherlands. Although the site is accessible from anywhere in the world, the facilities, products, or services discussed or provided through the site may not be available to all individuals or in all geographic locations, or may not be appropriate or available for use outside the Netherlands. Grovero reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to limit the availability and offering of individual features, products, and services to certain individuals or geographic areas. If any offer for any feature, product, or service made through the site is prohibited by law, such offer will be deemed void. If you use the site from outside the Netherlands, you do so at your own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
MISCELLANEOUS
You may not use, export, or re-export any content or any copy or adaptation of such content, or any product or service offered on the site in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, including, without limitation, the export laws and regulations of the Netherlands.
If one or more provisions of these Terms of Use are declared null and void or non-binding by a competent court or other authority, those provisions will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and will be replaced by a valid provision that best aligns with the intent of these Terms of Use, ensuring that these Terms remain in full force and effect.
These Terms of Use constitute the sole agreement between you and Grovero regarding your use of the site, nullifying any prior written or oral agreements related to such use. Except as provided in any purchase agreement you enter into with Grovero, Grovero will not accept any counteroffer to these Terms of Use, and all such offers are categorically rejected.
Grovero’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any rights that Grovero may have to enforce these Terms in the future. Additionally, no course of conduct between Grovero and you or any other party will be deemed to modify any provision of these Terms.
Grovero may provide access to international data and may therefore contain references to Grovero products, programs, and services that have not been announced in your country. Such references do not imply any intention to announce such products, programs, or services in your country.
