Modifications

MaintainWP reserves the authority, at its sole discretion, to modify or update these terms at any time.

What qualifies as a substantial change will be determined solely by MaintainWP. You are responsible for reviewing and familiarizing yourself with any modifications. Continued use of any service or viewing of any content following notification of a substantial change to the terms constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

General Provisions

No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is established as a result of these Terms, and you possess no authority to bind MaintainWP in any manner. The failure of either party to exercise any right provided herein shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent rights. MaintainWP shall not be held liable for any failure to perform obligations when such failure results from causes beyond MaintainWP’s reasonable control, including but not limited to mechanical, electronic, or communications failures or degradation (including line interference). Should any provision of these Terms be deemed unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary while the Terms otherwise remain in full force and enforceable. MaintainWP may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and its rights and obligations without requiring consent. These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of The United States of America, as if executed within Maryland between two Maryland residents, and both parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of Maryland courts. Both parties acknowledge that these Terms represent the complete and exclusive statement of mutual understanding and supersede all prior written and oral agreements, communications, and understandings related to the subject matter, and that all modifications must be documented in writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise specified herein
