except for the limited rights that enable us to offer the Services.

We need your permission to do things and take actions that enable us to deliver you our Services, including,

without limitation, hosting Your Things, backing it up, and sharing it when you ask us to. To provide these and

other features, Forward accesses, stores, and scans Your Things. You give us permission to do those things,

and this permission extends to our affiliates and trusted third parties we work with.

fees will be subject to Forward’s sole discretion and if the subscription is based on a yearly commitment with

monthly payments (or any other term with instalment or periodical payments), all payments until the end of the

commitment become due as of the cancellation.

We may change the fees in effect on renewal of your subscription, to reflect factors such as changes to our

product offerings, changes to our business, or changes in economic conditions. We will give you no less than 30

days’ advance notice of these changes via a message to the email address associated with your account and you

Services. If after such notice you fail to take the steps we ask of you, we will terminate or suspend your access to

the Services.

We will not provide notice or an opportunity to export Your Things before termination or suspension of access

compromise our ability to provide the Services to our other users, or (iii) we are prohibited from doing so by

law.

we will give you reasonable prior notice so that you can export Your Things from our systems (we will give you

no less than 30 days’ notice where possible under the circumstances). If we discontinue the Services in this way

before the end of any fixed or minimum term you have paid us for, we’ll refund the portion of the fees you have

pre-paid but haven't received Services for.

Services “AS IS”

We strive to provide great Services, but there are certain things that we can't guarantee. TO THE FULLEST

EXTENT   PERMITTED   BY   LAW,   Forward   AND   ITS   AFFILIATES,   SUPPLIERS   AND

DISTRIBUTORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SERVICES.

THE   SERVICES   ARE   PROVIDED   "AS   IS."   WE   ALSO   DISCLAIM   ANY   WARRANTIES   OF

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Limitation of Liability

WE DO NOT EXCLUDE OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU WHERE IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL TO DO

SO—THIS   INCLUDES   ANY   LIABILITY   FOR   Forward’S   OR   ITS   AFFILIATES’   FRAUD   OR

FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION IN PROVIDING THE SERVICES. IN COUNTRIES WHERE THE

FOLLOWING TYPES OF EXCLUSIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO YOU ONLY

FOR   LOSSES   AND   DAMAGES   THAT   ARE   A   REASONABLY   FORESEEABLE   RESULT   OF   OUR

FAILURE TO USE REASONABLE CARE AND SKILL OR OUR BREACH OF OUR CONTRACT WITH

YOU. THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT AFFECT CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED OR

LIMITED BY ANY CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE AN EU OR UK CONSUMER, THESE

TERMS DO NOT EXCLUDE Forward’S LIABILITY FOR LOSSES AND DAMAGES THAT ARE A

RESULT   OF   OUR   FAILURE   TO   USE   REASONABLE   CARE   AND   SKILL   IN   PROVIDING   THE

SERVICES OR OF OUR BREACH OF OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU, AS LONG AS THOSE LOSSES

AND DAMAGES ARE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.

IN   COUNTRIES   WHERE   EXCLUSIONS   OR   LIMITATIONS   OF   LIABILITY   ARE   ALLOWED,

Forward, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR DISTRIBUTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR (1) ANY

INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR

(2) ANY LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY.

LIABILITY   TO   YOU   TO   100%   OF   ANY   AMOUNT   YOU   HAVE   PAID   UNDER   YOUR   CURRENT

SERVICE PLAN WITH Forward.

Resolving Disputes

We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Forward,

you   agree   to   try   to   resolve   the   dispute   informally   by   sending   us   a   written   Notice   of   Dispute   at

[email protected] that includes your name, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. We

will try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 60 days

after submission, you or Forward may bring a formal proceeding.

Settlement of Disputes

You and Forward agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve claims relating to these Terms or the Services

will be brought in the High Court of Justice in London, UK, and will be settled by application of the laws of

England and Wales, disregarding their rules regarding conflict of laws.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Forward with respect to the subject matter of

these Terms and supersede and replace any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions

applicable to the subject matter of these Terms. Our past, present, and future affiliates and agents can invoke our

rights under this agreement in the event they become involved in a dispute with you. Otherwise, these Terms do

not give rights to any third parties.

Waiver, Severability & Assignment

Forward’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found

unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be

substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms,

and any such attempt will be void. Forward may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to

any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.

Modifications

We may revise these Terms from time to time to better reflect (i) changes to the law, (ii) new regulatory

requirements, or (iii) improvements or enhancements made to our Services.

If an update affects your use of the Services or your legal rights as a user of our Services, we will notify you

prior to the update's effective date by sending an email to the email address associated with your account or via

an in-product notification. These updated terms will be effective no less than 30 days from when we notify you.

If you do not agree to the updates we make, please cancel your account and stop using the Services before the

updated Terms become effective. Where applicable, we will offer you a prorated refund based on the amounts

you have prepaid for Services and your account cancellation date. By continuing to use or access the Services

after the updates come into effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
