2.Account Activation

Only one person can be the “Account Owner”, usually the person signing up for the our Service. The Account Owner is responsible for the Account, is bound by these Terms of Service and is responsible for the actions of others accessing the Account. If you sign up on behalf of your employer, your employer is the Account Owner responsible for your Account.

We may automatically create certain accounts for you to access certain services. You are responsible for activating and deactivating these accounts and complying with their terms, which may be with various third parties. Any domain you purchase through us will automatically renew unless you opt out.

2.1 Account Owner

1 Subject to Section 2.1.2, the person signing up for the Service by opening an Account will be the contracting party (“Account Owner ”) for the purposes of our Terms of Service and will be the person who is authorized to use any corresponding Account we may provide to the Account Owner in connection with the Service. You are responsible for ensuring that the name of the Account Owner (including the legal name of the company that owns the Account, if applicable) is clearly visible on the Account’s website.

2 If you are signing up for the Services on behalf of your employer, your employer will be the Account Owner. If you are signing up for the Services on behalf of your employer, then you must use your employer-issued email address and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind your employer to our Terms of Service.

3 Your ARDesigns.ca Account can only be associated with one Account Owner. An Account Owner may have multiple ARDesigns.ca Accounts.

2.2 Staff Accounts

1 Based on your ARDesigns.ca pricing plan, you can create one or more staff accounts (“Staff Accounts”) allowing other people to access the Account. Each Staff Account must include a full legal name and a valid email account. With Staff Accounts, the Account Owner can set permissions and let other people work in their Account while determining the level of access by Staff Accounts to specific business information (for example, you can limit Staff Account access to sales information on the Reports page or prevent Staff Accounts from changing general Account settings).

2 The Account Owner is responsible for: (a) ensuring its employees, agents and subcontractors, including via Staff Accounts, comply with these Terms of Service; and (b) any breach of these Terms of Service by the Account Owner’s employees, agents or subcontractors. The Account Owner acknowledges and agrees that Account Owner will be responsible for the performance of all of its obligations under the Agreement, regardless of whether it sublicenses or subcontracts any such obligations to any third party, including but not limited to any affiliates or subsidiaries of Account Owner.

3 The Account Owner and the users under Staff Accounts are each referred to as a “ARDesigns.ca User”.

2.3 Domain Names

1 Upon purchasing a domain name through ARDesigns.ca, domain registration will be preset to automatically renew each year so long as your ARDesigns.ca Account remains active. You acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to deactivate the auto-renewal function should you choose to do so.

3.ARDesigns.ca Rights

ARDesigns.ca has the right to control who we make our Services available to and we can modify them at any time. We also have the right to refuse or remove Materials from any part of the Services, including your Account. We may offer our services to your competitors, but we will never share your confidential information with them in doing so. In the event of an ownership dispute over a ARDesigns.ca Account, we can freeze a ARDesigns.ca Account or transfer it to the rightful owner, as determined by us.

1 The Services have a range of features and functionalities. Not all Services or features will be available to all Customers at all times and we are under no obligation to make any Services or features available in any jurisdiction. Except where prohibited in these Terms of Service or by applicable law, we reserve the right to modify the Services or any part thereof for any reason, without notice and at any time.

2 ARDesigns.ca does not pre-screen Materials and it is in our sole discretion to refuse or remove any Materials from any part of the Services, including if we determine in our sole discretion that the goods or services that you offer through the Services, or the Materials uploaded or posted to the Services, violate our Terms of Service.

3 Verbal or written abuse of any kind (including threats of abuse or retribution) of any ARDesigns.ca employee, member, or officer will result in immediate Account termination.

4 We reserve the right to provide our Services to your competitors and make no promise of exclusivity. You further acknowledge and agree that ARDesigns.ca employees and contractors may also be ARDesigns.ca customers and that they may compete with you, although they may not use your Confidential Information (as defined in Section 6) in doing so.

5 In the event of a dispute regarding Account ownership, we reserve the right to request documentation to determine or confirm Account ownership. Documentation may include, but is not limited to, a scanned copy of your business license, government issued photo ID, the last four digits of the credit card on file, or confirmation of your status as an employee of an entity.

6 ARDesigns.ca reserves the right to determine, in our sole discretion, rightful Account ownership and transfer an Account to the rightful Account Owner. If we are unable to reasonably determine the rightful Account Owner, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, ARDesigns.ca reserves the right to temporarily suspend or disable an Account until resolution has been determined between the disputing parties.

4.Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for your Business, the goods or services you sell, and your relationship with your customers, not us.

1 You acknowledge and agree to provide public-facing contact information, a refund policy and order fulfilment timelines on your ARDesigns.ca Account.

2 You acknowledge and agree that the Services are not a marketplace, and any contract of sale made through the Services is directly between you and the customer. You are the seller of record for all items you sell through the Services. You are responsible for the creation and operation of your ARDesigns.ca Account, your Materials, the goods and services that you may sell through the Services, and all aspects of the transactions between you and your customer(s). This includes, but is not limited to, authorizing the charge to the customer in respect of the customer’s purchase, refunds, returns, fulfilling any sales or customer service, fraudulent transactions, required legal disclosures, regulatory compliance, alleged or actual violation of applicable laws (including but not limited to consumer protection laws in any jurisdiction where you offer products or services for sale), or your breach of these Terms of Service. You represent and warrant that your Account, your Materials and the goods and services you sell through the Services will be true, accurate, and complete, and will not violate any applicable laws, regulations or rights of third parties. For the avoidance of doubt, ARDesigns.ca will not be the seller or merchant or record and will have no responsibility for your Account or items sold to customers through the Services.

3 You are solely responsible for the goods or services that you may sell through the Services (including description, price, fees, tax that you calculate, defects, required legal disclosures, regulatory compliance, offers or promotional content), including compliance with any applicable laws or regulations.

4 You may not use the ARDesigns.ca Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws), the laws applicable to you in your customer’s jurisdiction, or the laws of Canada and the Province of Ontario. You will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to obtaining and complying with the requirements of any license or permit that may be necessary to operate your Account or that may be held by you) in your use of the Service and your performance of obligations under the Terms of Service.

5. Payment of Fees and Taxes

A valid payment method (such as a credit card) must remain on file to pay all service fees, including the subscription, transaction and additional fees required for all Accounts. You will be billed for your Subscription Fees every 30 days. Any Transaction Fees or Additional Fees will be charged to your payment method. If we are unable to process payment of Fees using your payment method, we may make subsequent attempts to process payment of Fees using your payment method. If payment of Fees is unsuccessful within 28 days of our initial attempt to process payment, ARDesigns.ca may freeze your Account. You are responsible for all taxes relating to your Account or use of the Services. You may be required to remit Taxes to ARDesigns.ca or to self-remit to your local taxing authority. No refunds.

You will pay the Fees applicable to your subscription to Online Service (“Subscription Fees”) and any other applicable fees, including but not limited to applicable fees relating to the value of sales made through your Account when using all payment providers (“Transaction Fees”), and any fees relating to your purchase or use of any products or services such as POS Equipment, shipping, apps, Themes, domain names, or Third Party Services (“Additional Fees”). Together, the Subscription Fees, Transaction Fees and the Additional Fees are referred to as the “Fees”.
You must keep a valid payment method on file with us to pay for all incurred and recurring Fees. ARDesigns.ca will charge applicable Fees to any valid payment method that you authorize (“Authorized Payment Method”), and ARDesigns.ca will continue to charge the Authorized Payment Method for applicable Fees until the Services are terminated, and any and all outstanding Fees have been paid in full. Unless otherwise indicated, all Fees and other charges are either in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars, and all payments will be in either U.S. or Canadian currency.
Subscription Fees are paid in advance and will be billed in 30 day intervals (each such date, a “Billing Date”). Transaction Fees and Additional Fees will be charged from time to time at ARDesigns.ca’s discretion. You will be charged on each Billing Date for all outstanding Fees that have not previously been charged. Fees will appear on an invoice, which will be sent to the Account Owner via the Primary Email Address provided. Users have approximately two weeks to bring up and settle any issues with the billing of Subscription Fees.
If we are not able to process payment of Fees using an Authorized Payment Method, we may make subsequent attempts to process payment using any Authorized Payment Method. If we are unable to successfully process payment of Fees using an Authorized Payment Method within 28 days of our initial attempt, we may suspend and revoke access to your Account and the Services. Your Account will be reactivated upon your payment of any outstanding Fees, plus the Fees applicable to your next billing cycle. You may not be able to make any changes to your services during any period of suspension. If the outstanding Fees remain unpaid for 60 days following the date of suspension, ARDesigns.ca reserves the right to terminate your Account in accordance with Section 14.
All Fees are exclusive of applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future (“Taxes”).
You are responsible for all applicable Taxes that arise from or as a result of your subscription to or purchase of ARDesigns.ca’s products and services. To the extent that ARDesigns.ca charges these Taxes, they are calculated using the tax rates that apply based on the billing address you provide to us. Such amounts are in addition to the Fees for such products and services and will be billed to your Authorized Payment Method. If you are exempt from payment of such Taxes, you must provide us with evidence of your exemption, which in some jurisdictions includes an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date we receive evidence satisfactory to ARDesigns.ca of your exemption. If you are not charged Taxes by ARDesigns.ca, you are responsible for determining if Taxes are payable, and if so, self-remitting Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in your jurisdiction.
For the avoidance of doubt, all sums payable by you to ARDesigns.ca under these Terms of Service will be paid free and clear of any deductions or withholdings whatsoever. Other than Taxes charged by ARDesigns.ca to you and remitted to the appropriate tax authorities on your behalf, any deductions or withholdings that are required by law will be borne by you and paid separately to the relevant taxation authority. ARDesigns.ca will be entitled to charge the full amount of Fees stipulated under these Terms of Service to your Authorized Payment Method ignoring any such deduction or withholding that may be required.
You are solely responsible for determining, collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting applicable taxes, duties, fees, surcharges and additional charges that arise from or as a result of any sale on your ARDesigns.ca Account or your use of the Services. The Services are not a marketplace. Any contract of sale made through the Services is directly between you and the customer.
You must maintain an accurate location on your ARDesigns.ca Account. If you change jurisdictions you must promptly update your location by contacting us with relevant documentation.
ARDesigns.ca does not provide refunds.

6. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to use the other party’s Confidential Information solely as necessary for performing its obligations under these Terms of Service and in accordance with any other obligations in these Terms of Service including this Section 6. Each party agrees that it will take all reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, to prevent the duplication, disclosure or use of any such Confidential Information, other than (i) by or to its employees, agents and subcontractors who must have access to such Confidential Information to perform such party’s obligations hereunder, who each will treat such Confidential Information as provided herein, and who are each subject to obligations of confidentiality to such party that are at least as stringent as those contained herein; or (ii) as required by any law, regulation, or order of any court of proper jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter contained in these Terms of Service, provided that, if legally permitted, the receiving party will give the disclosing party prompt written notice and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such disclosure is accorded confidential treatment. Confidential Information will not include any information that the receiving party can prove: (A) was already in the public domain, or was already known by or in the possession of the receiving party, at the time of disclosure of such information; (B) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the other party’s Confidential Information, and without breaching any provisions of these Terms of Service; or (C) is thereafter rightly obtained by the receiving party from a source other than the disclosing party without breaching any provision of these Terms of Service.

8. Intellectual Property and Your Materials

Any data you provide remains yours (if it was yours) and is your responsibility, but ARDesigns.ca can use and publish the things you upload. Anything provided to ARDesigns.ca remains the property and responsibility of its initial owner. However, ARDesigns.ca will receive a license of materials published through our platform that we may use to operate and promote our Services.

8.1 Your Materials

We do not claim ownership of the Materials you provide to ARDesigns.ca; however, we do require a license to those Materials. You grant ARDesigns.ca a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to host, use, distribute, expose, modify, run, copy, Account, publicly perform, communicate to the public (including by telecommunication), broadcast, reproduce, make available, display, and translate, and create derivative works of any Materials provided by you in connection with the Services. We may use our rights under this license to operate, provide, and promote the Services and to perform our obligations and exercise our rights under the Terms of Service. You represent, warrant, and agree that you have all necessary rights in the Materials to grant this license. You irrevocably waive any and all moral rights you may have in the Materials in favour of ARDesigns.ca and agree that this waiver may be invoked by anyone who obtains rights in the materials through ARDesigns.ca, including anyone to whom ARDesigns.ca may transfer or grant (including by way of license or sublicense) any rights in the Materials.
If you owned the Materials before providing them to ARDesigns.ca then, despite providing them to ARDesigns.ca they remain yours, subject to any rights or licenses granted in the Terms of Service or elsewhere. You can request termination of your ARDesigns.ca Account at any time. Removing your ARDesigns.ca Account does not terminate any rights or licenses granted to the Materials that ARDesigns.ca requires to exercise any rights or perform any obligations that arose during the Term.
You agree that ARDesigns.ca can, at any time, review and delete any or all of the Materials submitted to the Services, although ARDesigns.ca is not obligated to do so.
You grant ARDesigns.ca a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to use the names, trademarks, service marks and logos associated with your Account (“Your Trademarks”) to operate, provide, and promote the Services and to perform our obligations and exercise our rights under the Terms of Service. This license will survive any termination of the Terms of Service solely to the extent that ARDesigns.ca requires the license to exercise any rights or perform any obligations that arose during the Term.

8.2 ARDesigns.ca Intellectual Property

You agree that you may not use any trademarks, logos, or service marks of ARDesigns.ca, whether registered or unregistered, including but not limited to the word mark ARDesigns.ca, the word mark A R Design and Technology, and the hexagon with A R Design and Technology (“ARDesigns.ca Trademarks”) unless you are authorized to do so by ARDesigns.ca in writing. You agree not to use or adopt any marks that may be considered confusing with the ARDesigns.ca Trademarks.

You agree not to purchase, register, or use search engine or other pay-per-click keywords (such as Google Ads), trademarks, email addresses, social media names, or domain names (including without limitation top-level domains, sub-domains, and page URLs) that use or include ARDesigns.ca or ARDesigns.ca Trademarks or that use or include any terms that may be confusing with the ARDesigns.ca Trademarks.

If you choose to use Third Party Services with ARDesigns.ca, you consent to us sharing your data (and potentially the data of your Customers) to those services. If you use Third Party Services you agree that we do not provide a warranty, so get advice beforehand.

ARDesigns.ca may from time to time recommend, provide you with access to, or enable third party software, applications (“Apps”), products, services or website links (collectively, “Third Party Services”) for your consideration or use.

The availability of Third Party Services on ARDesigns.ca’s websites or the integration or enabling of such Third Party Services with the Services does not constitute or imply an endorsement, authorization, sponsorship, or affiliation by or with ARDesigns.ca. ARDesigns.ca does not guarantee the availability of Third Party Services and you acknowledge that ARDesigns.ca may disable access to any Third Party Services at any time in its sole discretion and without notice to you. ARDesigns.ca is not responsible or liable to anyone for discontinuation or suspension of access to, or disablement of, any Third Party Service. ARDesigns.ca strongly recommends that you seek specialist advice before using or relying on Third Party Services, to ensure they will meet your needs. In particular, tax calculators should be used for reference only and not as a substitute for independent tax advice, when assessing the correct tax rates you should charge to your customers.
If you install or enable a Third Party Service for use with the Services, you grant us permission to allow the applicable Third Party Provider to access your data and other Materials and to take any other actions as required for the interoperation of the Third Party Service with the Services, and any exchange of data or other Materials or other interaction between you and the Third Party Provider is solely between you and such Third Party Provider. ARDesigns.ca is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of your data or other Materials, or for any corresponding losses or damages you may suffer, as a result of access by a Third Party Service or a Third Party Provider to your data or other Materials. Google Maps is a Third Party Service that is used within the Services. Your use of the Services is subject to your acceptance of the Google Maps and Earth Enterprise Universal Acceptable Use Policy, Google Maps and Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy as it may be amended by Google from time to time.

You further agree that ARDesigns.ca may share your contact details and the background information that you submit via the Experts Marketplace with Experts. Experts may require access to certain admin pages on your ARDesigns.ca Account. You choose the pages that the Experts can access.
The relationship between you and any Third Party Provider is strictly between you and such Third Party Provider, and ARDesigns.ca is not obligated to intervene in any dispute arising between you and a Third Party Provider.
Under no circumstances will ARDesigns.ca be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, extraordinary, exemplary or other damages whatsoever, that result from any Third Party Services or your contractual relationship with any Third Party Provider. These limitations will apply even if ARDesigns.ca has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitations will apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
You agree to indemnify and hold us and (as applicable) our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, ARDesigns.ca partners, officers, directors, agents, employees, and suppliers harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of a Third Party Service or your relationship with a Third Party Provider.

ARDesigns.ca welcomes any ideas and/or suggestions regarding improvements or additions to the Services. Under no circumstances will any disclosure of any idea, suggestion or related material or any review of the Services, Third Party Services or any Third Party Provider (collectively, “Feedback”) to ARDesigns.ca be subject to any obligation of confidentiality or expectation of compensation.

ARDesigns.ca reserves the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit Feedback of Third Party Services or Third Party Providers, but does not regularly inspect posted Feedback.

11. DMCA Notice and Takedown Procedure

ARDesigns.ca respects intellectual property rights and you should too. If we receive a DMCA Notice, we may disable access or remove the allegedly infringing content from your Services. If you don’t think the claim is valid, you can send a counter notification. If you believe one of our customers is infringing your intellectual property rights, you can send ARDesigns.ca a DMCA Notice. We will expeditiously disable access or remove the content and notify the customer.

ARDesigns.ca supports the protection of intellectual property and asks ARDesigns.ca customers to do the same. It’s our policy to respond to all notices of alleged copyright infringement. If someone believes that one of our customers is infringing their intellectual property rights, they can send a DMCA Notice to ARDesigns.ca’s designated agent using our form. Upon receiving a DMCA Notice, we may remove or disable access to the Materials claimed to be a copyright infringement. Once provided with a notice of takedown, the customer can reply with a counter notification using our form if they object to the complaint. The original complainant has 14 business days after we receive a counter notification to seek a court order restraining the merchant from engaging in the infringing activity, otherwise we restore the material. Learn more at Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement.

Without limiting any other remedies, we may suspend or terminate your Account or the Terms of Service for any reason, without notice and at any time (unless otherwise required by law), including if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the use of the Services. Termination of the Terms of Service will be without prejudice to any rights or obligations which arose prior to the date of termination.
Upon termination of the Services by either party for any reason:
1. ARDesigns.ca will cease providing you with the Services and you will no longer be able to access your Account;
2. unless otherwise provided in the Terms of Service, you will not be entitled to any refunds of any Fees, pro rata or otherwise;
3. any outstanding balance owed to ARDesigns.ca for your use of the Services through the effective date of such termination will immediately become due and payable in full; and
4. your ARDesigns.ca Account will be taken offline.
If you purchased a domain name through ARDesigns.ca, upon cancellation your domain will no longer be automatically renewed. Following termination, it will be your sole responsibility to handle all matters related to your domain with the domain provider.
If there are any outstanding Fees owed by you at the date of termination of the Service, you will receive one final invoice via email. Once that invoice has been paid in full, you will not be charged again.

15. Modifications

If we make a material change to the Terms of Service that adversely affects your rights under the Terms of Service or your use of our Services in a material way, we will notify you in advance (unless the change relates to legal requirements or to prevent abuse of our Services, among other things).

We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to update or change any portion of the Terms of Service at any time. We will provide you with reasonable advance notice of changes to the Terms of Service that materially adversely affect your use of the Services or your rights under the Terms of Service by sending an email to the Primary Email Address, providing notice through the ARDesigns.ca, or by similar means. However, ARDesigns.ca may make changes that materially adversely affect your use of the Services or your rights under the Terms of Service at any time and with immediate effect (i) for legal, regulatory, fraud and abuse prevention, or security reasons; or (ii) to restrict products or activities that we deem unsafe, inappropriate, or offensive. Unless we indicate otherwise in our notice (if applicable), any changes to the Terms of Service will be effective immediately upon posting of such updated terms at this location. Your continued access to or use of the Services after we provide such notice, if applicable, or after we post such updated terms, constitutes your acceptance of the changes and consent to be bound by the Terms of Service as amended. If you do not agree to the amended Terms of Service, you must stop accessing and using the Services.
ARDesigns.ca may change the Fees for the Services from time-to-time. We will provide you with 30 days advanced notice prior to any changes in Fees by sending an email to the Primary Email Account, providing notice through the ARDesigns.ca administrative console, or by similar means. ARDesigns.ca will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Services (or any part thereof).

16. General Conditions

The Terms of Service, including the documents it incorporates by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and ARDesigns.ca and govern your use of the Services and your Account, superseding any prior agreements between you and ARDesigns.ca (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).
The failure of ARDesigns.ca to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Service, including all terms and conditions and other documents it incorporates by reference, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law, and the remaining provision of the Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect.
Save for ARDesigns.ca and its affiliates, you or anyone accessing ARDesigns.ca Services pursuant to these Terms of Service, unless otherwise provided in these Terms of Service, no person or entity who is not a party to these Terms of Service will have any right to enforce any term of these Terms of Service, regardless of whether such person or entity has been identified by name, as a member of a class or as answering a particular description. For the avoidance of doubt, this will not affect the rights of any permitted assignee or transferee of these Terms.
The Terms of Service will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Manitoba and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
The Terms of Service may be available in languages other than English. To the extent of any inconsistencies or conflicts between these English Terms of Service and ARDesigns.ca’s Terms of Service available in another language, the most current English version of the Terms of Service at ardesigns.ca will prevail. Any disputes arising out of these Terms of Service will be resolved in English unless otherwise determined by ARDesigns.ca (acting in its sole discretion) or as required by applicable law.
All the terms and provisions of the Terms of Service will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to the Terms of Service and to their respective heirs, successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. ARDesigns.ca will be permitted to assign these Terms of Service without notice to you or consent from you. You will have no right to assign or otherwise transfer the Terms of Service, or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, to any third party without ARDesigns.ca’s prior written consent, to be given or withheld in ARDesigns.ca’s sole discretion.
If any provision, or portion of the provision, in these Terms of Service is, for any reason, held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision (or the unaffected portion of the provision) of the Terms of Service, and the Terms of Service will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, or portion of the provision, had never been contained within the Terms of Service.
On termination, all related rights and obligations under the Terms of Service immediately terminate, except that (a) you will remain responsible for performing all of your obligations in connection with transactions entered into before termination and for any liabilities that accrued before or as a result of termination; and Sections 1 (Account Terms), 5 (Payment of Fees), 6 (Confidentiality), 7 (Limitation of Liability and Indemnification), 8.1 (Intellectual Property and Your Materials), 9.1(8)-(10) (Third Party Services), 10 (Feedback and Reviews), 12 (Privacy and Data Protection), 13 (A R Design and Technology Contracting Party), 14 (Cancellation and Termination), 15(1) (Modifications), and 16 (General Conditions) will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms of Service.
