About These Terms

 

We may modify these terms or any additional terms that apply to a Service to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our Services. It is your responsibility to check these Terms regularly for changes and/or updates. We will post notice of modifications to these terms on this page. Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner than fourteen days after they are posted. However, changes addressing new functions for a Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified terms for a Service, you should discontinue your use of that Service immediately. Your continued use of one or more Services shall constitute your acceptance of any and all Terms applicable to that Service at that time.

 

If there is a conflict between these terms and the additional terms that we publish for a particular Service, the additional terms will control for that conflict.

 

No partnership, joint venture, employment arrangement, or other co-venture is created or shall be created between you and us by these Terms or your use of the Services.

 

These terms control the relationship between Hip Wise and you. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights, provided that each member of the group of companies that comprise Hip Wise shall be third party beneficiaries to these Terms and shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of these Terms which confers a benefit on, or rights in favor of, them.

 

If you do not comply with these terms, and we do not take action right away, this does not mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).

 

If it turns out that a particular term in these Terms is not enforceable, that will not affect the rest of the Terms.

 

We may transfer, assign or delegate Hip Wise, the Services, and these Terms and their rights and obligations without your consent. These Terms represent the complete and exclusive statement of our mutual understanding and supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements that may exist between us.

 

The laws of Texas, U.S.A., excluding Texas’ conflict of laws rules, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services. All claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Travis County, Texas, USA, and you and Hip Wise consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
