        1. User is bound by all terms of this Agreement in their entirety. Partial acceptance of terms is not permitted. Should User disagree with any provision herein, User’s sole recourse is to discontinue all access to and use of the Websites. This Agreement does not confer any enforcement rights upon third parties.

          User possesses the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement;

        4. Access to and use of the Websites is contingent upon acceptance of this Agreement. Acceptance may be manifested electronically, which is legally equivalent to a physical signature. User’s assent to this Agreement is demonstrated through actions including, but not limited to:

          Entering User’s name in a designated signature field;
          Selecting a checkbox or clicking a button labeled “I agree,” “Continue,” or similar affirmative language;
          Accessing any part of the Websites;

        8. Company commits to updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Agreement upon any revision. User agrees to periodically review this Agreement, including using their browser’s refresh function, and to note the last revision date.
        9. If the “Last Updated” date remains unchanged since User’s last review, User may assume no changes have been made. A change in the “Last Updated” date indicates revisions have occurred, necessitating User’s re-review to understand any modifications to their rights and responsibilities.
        10. Should any court deem acceptance of a modification ineffective, the parties intend for the most recent, previously accepted version of the Agreement to be enforced.
        11. User’s failure to periodically review this Agreement for changes constitutes a waiver of their right to review amended terms. User assumes full responsibility for such failure, and Company bears no responsibility for User’s neglect of their legal rights.
