The Viking Stack - Terms of Service Agreement

Welcome to The Viking Stack. This platform is operated by Tovsen Development & Technology Solutions LLC ("TDTS," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using The Viking Stack platform, website, software, mobile applications, SMS services, and related services (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Terms of Service Agreement (the "Agreement") and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. This Agreement contains important provisions including an arbitration agreement that requires disputes to be resolved on an individual basis rather than through jury trials or class actions. By using the Service, you agree to these terms.

We may update this Agreement from time to time. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with TDTS and only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations.

Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.

Account Termination and Refund Policy

IMPORTANT - Account Termination Rights:

TDTS reserves the right to suspend, terminate, close, or delete your account at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to: violation of this Agreement, fraudulent activity, abuse of the platform, non-payment, or at our sole discretion.

No Refund Policy: All fees paid for the Service are non-refundable. If your account is terminated or suspended for any reason, including termination by TDTS, you will not be entitled to any refund of fees already paid. This no-refund policy applies to all subscription plans, one-time purchases, and additional services.

Data Deletion Requests: You may request deletion of your account data by contacting us at [email protected]. Upon receiving a valid data deletion request, we will process the request within ninety (90) days. However, we may retain certain information as required by law, for legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention, accounting, or resolving disputes), or as specified in our Privacy Policy.

Effect of Termination: Upon termination of your account, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. We may, but are not obligated to, provide you with a limited period to export your data before permanent deletion.

Service Availability and Limitation of Liability

IMPORTANT - No Liability for Downtime or Service Interruptions:

TDTS is not responsible and shall not be held liable for any downtime, service interruptions, denial of service, system outages, or inaccessibility of the Service for any period of time, regardless of cause.

Business Impact Disclaimer: You acknowledge and agree that TDTS shall not be liable for any impacts to your business, including but not limited to: lost revenue, lost profits, business interruption, loss of business opportunities, loss of data, or any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to service downtime or unavailability.

Maintenance and Updates: We may perform scheduled or emergency maintenance that may result in service interruptions. We will attempt to provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance when reasonably possible, but are not obligated to do so.
