Any individual accessing, using, or purchasing services from any Serendum site (hereafter referred to as the “User”) will be responsible for the activities of their agents, representatives, and end-users and will be responsible for their cooperation with all of the Policies.
If a User becomes aware of any violation of the Policies set forth by Serendum, the User is obliged to notify Serendum immediately with any relevant information.
It is the sole responsibility of the User to review all Policies provided by Serendum for changes, updates, or modifications.
It is prohibited to use any Serendum site, or the products (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Services”) offered on any Serendum site – either now or in the past or future – for illegal, offensive, immoral, or abusive purposes, or in a manner that interferes with or adversely affects Serendum or its agents, representatives, assets, and property including, but not limited to, any actions that would expose Serendum to civil or criminal liability.

Serendum will have final say on what activities constitute a violation of the Services. Some of the Services may have specific terms designated solely to their purpose. These terms will be provided to the User separately, and should be distributed by the User to their agents, representatives, and end-users. The User bears full responsibility for this distribution and ensuring compliance.
Serendum reserves the right to change any of the Policies at any time for any reason, with or without notice to the User. Serendum, where possible, will attempt to notify the User twenty-one (21) days prior to the effective date of any change.

Serendum is not bound or obligated in any way to provide advance notice of changes. The User, by agreeing to the existing Policies, accepts future revisions.
Serendum reserves the right to investigate any actual, suspected, or alleged violations of the Policies. The User will reasonably cooperate with the investigations and any corrective measures necessary in any breach of these Policies by themselves, their agents, representatives, or end-users.
Serendum and its agents, representatives, or vendors may implement technical measures to prevent violations of any of the Policies, including network scanning and analysis or network filters.

Serendum reserves the right to discontinue the relationship with the User at any time should they be in breach of the Policies set forth.

These Policies are governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, United States of America, without regard to the choice-of-law principles thereof. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the Policies. Any action seeking legal or equitable relief, or any dispute arising out of or relating to these Policies, is to be exclusively ruled on by a competent court of the state of Washington or by the district court for the area of Serendum’s registered head office.
If any provision of the Policies is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of the Policies is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision will be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.
This AUP supersedes all other contradictory or overlapping provisions contained in any other policies provided by Serendum. This AUP does not trigger any expiration, termination, or other rights that may be available to Serendum under any of the other Policies.
