Copyright
All contents of the Lantana Website are Copyright 2023 by Lantana and/or its suppliers. All rights reserved.
Trademarks
All Lantana trademarks are strictly owned by Lantana, and nothing in these terms can be construed to transfer ownership rights or grant any permission, license or other rights to any Lantana trademark without written authorization from Lantana.
The names of actual companies and products mentioned within the Lantana Website may be the trademarks of their respective owners.
Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
General legal terms
The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and Lantana and govern your use of the Services (but excluding any services which Lantana may provide to you under a separate written agreement), and completely replace any prior agreements between you and Lantana in relation to the Services.
You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services, which Lantana provides, may change from time to time with or without prior notice to you.
As part of Lantana’s continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Lantana may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at Lantana’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Lantana when you stop using the Services.
You acknowledge and agree that if Lantana disables access to your account, you may be prevented from accessing the Services, your account details or any files or other content, which is contained in your account.
Unless you have been authorized by Lantana, you agree that you will not reproduce, copy, sell, trade, or resell the Services for any purpose. You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Lantana has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under the Terms and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which Lantana may suffer) of any such breach.
You acknowledge and agree that while Lantana may not currently have set a fixed limit on the number of transmissions you may send, receive, or store/manage through the Services, such fixed limits may be set by Lantana at any time, at Lantana’s discretion.
You agree that if Lantana does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which Lantana has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Lantana’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Lantana.
Unless Lantana has given you specific written permission to do so, you may not assign (or grant a sub-license of) your rights to use the Services, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Services, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Software.
If any disagreement or dispute arises regarding these Terms or any rights or obligations conveyed hereunder, the disagreement shall be resolved, whenever possible, by meeting and conferring. If such efforts are unsuccessful, either you or Lantana (collectively “Parties” or individually “Party”) shall seek a resolution via binding arbitration, to be conducted in the State of Vermont and in accordance with the then-prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any award conferred shall be enforceable in any court of suitable jurisdiction in the State of Vermont. The arbitration requirement does not apply to requests for injunctive relief.
Parties agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both Parties each waive any right to a jury trial. Parties both agree that either Party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
The Terms, and your relationship with Lantana under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Vermont, USA, without regard to conflict of laws provisions. You and Lantana agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the State of Vermont to resolve any legal matter arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Lantana shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms, which will remain in full force and effect.
These Terms are effective as of 2 May 2023.
