General
The Website is hosted in the United States of America. The Operators make no claims that the Content on the Website is appropriate or may be downloaded outside of the United States of America. Access to the Content may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Website from outside the United States of America, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.
We strive to make the Website accessible to individuals with disabilities. If you encounter accessibility barriers, please contact us.
The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms. A party may give notice to the other party only in writing at that party's principal place of business, attention of that party's principal legal officer, or at such other address or by such other method as the party shall specify in writing. Notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery or facsimile, or, if sent by certified mail with postage prepaid, 5 business days after the date of mailing, or, if sent by international overnight courier with postage prepaid, 7 business days after the date of mailing. If any provision herein is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being affected in any way. Further, the parties agree to replace such unenforceable provision with an enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the unenforceable provision. Section headings are for reference purposes only and do not define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section. The failure of the Operators to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by you or others does not constitute a waiver and shall not limit the Operators' rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. Any action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or User's use of the Website must be brought in the courts of the State of Utah, United States of America, and you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. However, in some jurisdictions (including certain states, provinces, or countries), limitations on contractual "choice of forum" clauses may apply. In such cases, some or all of this provision may not apply to you, and you may have the right to bring claims in your local courts under applicable law. Any cause of action you may have with respect to your use of the Website must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. In some jurisdictions, contractual clauses that shorten the statute of limitations are legally void or may be deemed unenforceable, so the one-year limit may not apply to you. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and the Operators with respect to your use of the Website and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements or understandings relating to the same subject matter.
However, if you have entered into a separate signed written agreement with us governing your relationship or specific services, that signed agreement will control in the event of any conflict with these Terms.
Links to Other Materials
The Website may contain links to sites owned or operated by independent third parties. These links are provided for your convenience and reference only. We do not control such sites and, therefore, we are not responsible for any content posted on these sites. The fact that the Operators offer such links should not be construed in any way as an endorsement, authorization, or sponsorship of that site, its content, or the companies or products referenced therein, and the Operators reserve the right to note its lack of affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement on the Website. If you decide to access any of the third-party sites linked to by the Website, you do so entirely at your own risk. Because some sites employ automated search results or otherwise link you to sites containing information that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, the Operators cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in third-party sites, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such sites.
Notification Of Possible Copyright Infringement and DMCA Notices
The Operators of this Website respect the intellectual property rights of others and comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on this Website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify our Designated Agent as set forth below.
To be effective under the DMCA, your notification must be in writing and include the following information (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

3. A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Website (including a URL, if possible);
4. Your address, telephone number, and email address;

6. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
In compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the personal data of individuals located in California and the European Union collected in connection with DMCA notifications or infringement claims will be processed lawfully, transparently, and securely. Personal information submitted as part of such notices will be used solely for the purpose of investigating and resolving copyright infringement claims and will not be shared with third parties except as necessary to comply with legal obligations or enforce rights.
