The arbitral proceedings and award shall be confidential.

Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to limit the Parties’ rights to seek interim injunctive relief or to enforce an arbitration award in any court of law. With respect to any violation of any intellectual property rights and/or confidential information of Trustmary and/or payment obligations under these Terms, Trustmary shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to seek remedies in public courts within any applicable territory.

Changes to the Service, Service Fees or Terms

Trustmary may make modifications or changes to the Service at any time at its sole discretion and without notification, provided that such changes do not materially negatively affect the Customer, Users or the usability of the paid subscription of the Service.

If Trustmary introduces changes materially negatively affecting the Service in respect of paid subscriptions, Trustmary will notify the Customer with a paid subscription thereof at least 30 days in advance in writing and the Customer is entitled to object to the revised terms, in which case Trustmary may elect to have the prior terms control, to negotiate an alternate solution with Customer, or if neither of the foregoing is applicable then Customer may terminate the subscription of the Service to end on the date the change is notified to take effect in case the Customer does not accept the changes. In respect of paid subscriptions, Customer’s continued use of the Service following notice, and/or Customer’s failure to object in writing to a proposed change within the thirty (30) day period, constitutes Customer’s acceptance of and agreement to the revised terms.

Trustmary may, at its discretion, make changes to the Service Fees. Trustmary will notify Customers with paid subscriptions of such changes at least 30 days in advance. Such changes shall not be applied during an ongoing Subscription Period.

Trustmary may occasionally update these Terms. When we do so, we will also revise the ”last update” date and, in case of a material update, notify our Customers with a paid subscription by email at least 30 days in advance. By continuing to access or use the Service after those changes become effective, Customer and Users agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

Trustmary may make any changes to the Service or its Terms applicable to or affecting the Free Subscription of the Service or the Customers or Users using such Free Subscription (including material changes and discontinuation of parts of the Service under the Free Subscription) without prior notification or notice to the Customer and Users. However, Trustmary will provide an advance notification on its website visible to Users of the Free Subscription in case the Free Subscription will be discontinued as a whole. We recommend periodically reviewing these Terms, as by continuing to access or use the Service after changes become effective, each Customer and User agrees to be bound by the revised Terms.

Severability and Assignability

If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court, tribunal or other authority having jurisdiction, this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of these Terms. Instead, these Terms shall be construed and interpreted so that its effect shall remain as close as legally possible to the effect it would have had without such invalidity or unenforceability.

These Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Party. Trustmary may, however, assign all or any of its rights or obligations hereunder in whole or part to an affiliate or successor or to a purchaser or acquirer of its business assets without the prior consent of Customer.
