whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”) and Collabora Ltd, doing
business as Apertis Project ("Apertis Project", “we”, “us”, or “our”),
concerning your access to and use of the https://www.apertis.org website as
well as any other website, media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile
application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the
“Site”). You agree that by accessing the Site, you have read, understood, and
agreed to be bound by all of these Terms of Use.
**IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY
PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.**
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site
from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We
reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to
these Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any
changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Use, and you
waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your
responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed of
updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of
and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms of Use by your continued
use of the Site after the date such revised Terms of Use are posted.
The information provided on the Site is not intended for distribution to or use
by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution
or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any
registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly,
those persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their
own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if
and to the extent local laws are applicable.
