Last Update: January 15, 2024

1. ACCEPTANCE

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of BUP.ai (the “Platform”). These Terms have a force of a legally binding agreement, even if you are simply browsing without intention to contact us or register an account. The term "us," "we" or "our" refers to BUP Technologies Inc. which owns and operates this Platform. The term "you" refers to the viewer of the Platform. Privacy Policy https://www.bup.ai/privacy-policy is another important document that you should familiarize yourself with because it describes our practices with respect to your personal information. You cannot visit the Platform if you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy. Sometimes we modify these Terms. We don't notify users about every change to the Terms but you can see the date of the last update at the top of this page. If you still wish to visit the Platform after said date, that constitutes your agreement to the updates.

IMPORTANT: review the “ARBITRATION” section below. Your use of the Platform constitutes your agreement to arbitrate disputes instead of having them resolved by a court. You hereby waive any right to a jury trial you may have had. You also waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding against us.

2. NEUTRAL VENUE

You agree that, because of the limited nature of such communication, any guidance you may receive can be incomplete and may even be misleading. Therefore, any assistance you may receive using any our Platform’s interactive features does not constitute specific advice and should not be relied upon without further competent independent confirmation.
  • c) DRIVING. DO NOT USE THE PLATFORM IN ANY MANNER THAT DISTRACTS YOU FROM DRIVING OR IS ILLEGAL (E.G., IN JURISDICTIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE USE OF MOBILE DEVICES WHILE DRIVING). WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH TRAFFIC LAWS.
  • d) Third Parties. The Platform contains references to third party websites and rely on third party services for support. We shall not be liable for any third party venues and cannot guarantee their performance. We do not monitor all content submitted to the Platform. We shall not be liable for user submissions or any third party content on the Platform.
  • e) No Professional Advice. Nothing on our Platform constitutes legal, career or any other type of professional advice on our part. Your use of the Platform does not form an attorney-client, employer-employee or any other professional relationship between you and us. If you engage anybody listed on our Platform, we are not a party to your interactions and transactions.

3. AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

This Platform contains affiliate links. We receive a small percentage of a final sale if you buy something after following any of those affiliate links. But your trust is of utmost importance to us. That’s why, even though we sometimes receive affiliate compensation, we always provide only our honest ratings, reviews, opinions or experiences on everything you see on our Platform. We review all products we find useful, not just the affiliate ones. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be independently verified with the vendor, manufacturer, expert, service provider or other party in question.

The arbitration shall be conducted by submission of documents only, without any personal appearances. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

  • f) Assignment. We have the right, at our sole discretion, to assign or subcontract our rights or obligations outlined in these Terms.
