You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on any part of the Service without our explicit written permission.

M•barq integrates with third-party services including Google (for OAuth sign-in), Supabase (for data storage and authentication), Vercel (for hosting), and Resend (for transactional email). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices or content of any third-party services.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

M•barq is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, M•barq shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account at our sole discretion, without notice, if we determine that you have violated these Terms or if your use of the Service poses a risk to other users or the integrity of the platform. Termination of your account does not relieve you of obligations incurred prior to termination.

11. Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by sending an email notification. Your continued use of M•barq after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
