Indemnification Clause
By using the Optiserves website, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Optiserves, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from your use of the site or your violation of these Terms of Use. This means that you bear the responsibility for any repercussions which may arise from your actions as a user, including but not limited to disputes with software providers mentioned in our articles.
Limitation on Damages
Under no circumstances shall Optiserves or its affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access or use of, or inability to access or use, the website. This limitation applies to all aspects of liability, including breaches of contract, negligence, and strict liability, even if Optiserves was made aware of the possibility of such damages. Therefore, it is crucial for users to understand that their engagement with the platform involves certain risks and challenges.

Optiserves shall not be held responsible for any liability that arises during your use of the site. It is not our intention to limit our circumstances for liability in regards to suite of services provided on the platform, but rather to provide a clear understanding of what users can expect. In the unlikely event that liability is established, the maximum amount for which Optiserves may be liable is limited to any amounts paid by you directly to the site for services provided, in the most recent twelve-month period leading up to the event causing the damage.
Termination and Suspension
Conditions for Termination
Optiserves reserves the right to terminate or suspend user access to the website at any time, without prior notice, for any reason deemed appropriate. Reasons for termination may include violations of these Terms of Use, fraudulent activities, or any behavior that compromises the integrity of the platform. Users who violate terms, engage in malicious activities, or undermine the trust of the Optiserves community may face immediate terminations without the possibility of reinstatement. It is the responsibility of users to adhere to these guidelines to maintain access to our valuable resources and services.
User Account Suspension
In certain circumstances, Optiserves may choose to impose a temporary suspension of user accounts instead of outright termination. Account suspensions may occur when a user’s conduct is under investigation or if it has raised concerns regarding compliance with our Terms of Use. During the suspension period, users will be unable to access their accounts or utilize any features of the website. Notifications will be sent to the registered email address with details about the suspension, its duration, and any necessary actions to rectify the situation.
Post-Termination Use Restrictions
Upon termination or suspension of a user’s account, all rights granted under these Terms of Use will immediately cease. Users will no longer have access to their accounts, contents, or any personal data associated with Optiserves. Furthermore, any attempts to create a new account after a termination must be communicated and approved by Optiserves to ensure compliance with our policies. Any persistent violation will result in a permanent ban from the platform without a chance of appeal.
Effect of Termination on Rights
Termination of an account does not affect any prior obligations or liabilities incurred by the user. Any agreements, licenses, or permissions granted prior to termination shall remain in force as necessary. However, users will lose their access to Optiserves's resources and will no longer be able to reap the benefits of the platform’s comprehensive insights and analyses. Optiserves encourages all users to stay informed about their rights and obligations to avoid situations that lead to account termination.
