  • Results obtained from using the Service will be accurate or reliable

  • Damages resulting from your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Service
  • Damages resulting from unauthorized access to or alteration of your data
  • Damages resulting from any third-party content or conduct on the Service

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if ClockTools has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Important: ClockTools is not a substitute for professional timing equipment, medical alarms, safety systems, or any other critical timing applications. For situations where timing accuracy is essential for safety or health, use appropriate professional-grade equipment.

7. Indemnification

8. Third-Party Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not control these third-party services and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by their own terms and policies.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive (including, but not limited to, intellectual property provisions, disclaimers, and limitations of liability).

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's rules, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property violations.
