All Terms apply to both websites equally, except as may be specifically noted herein.

You acknowledge that by using the Site, or its related services and mobile applications, you are agreeing to all of the following terms and conditions of this Agreement. Therefore, please read the entire Terms before registering with, or otherwise using, the Site. You also agree to review this Agreement periodically to be aware of modifications to the Agreement. Your continued use of this Site constitutes your binding acceptance of any such amendments, modifications, additions or deletions.

THESE TERMS CONSTITUTE A LEGAL CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU, AN INDIVIDUAL USER OF AT LEAST EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE (“YOU”, “USER”, “STUDENT”, or “SUBSCRIBER”) AND AVAHI, AND GOVERN YOUR ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SITE, TOGETHER WITH THE SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE.

1. Personal Information and Privacy Policy
You acknowledge and agree that Avahi may use personal information about you or your company which Avahi obtains either directly from you or which it obtains by the nature of your use of the Site for any legitimate business purpose, as outlined in our Privacy Policy, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

2. User Rights
Avahi grants you the right to use the Site in strict accordance with these Terms. These Terms do not grant you the right to use any Avahi trademark, service mark, logo, or other intellectual property owned by Avahi, except as expressly permitted herein.

3. Registration and Site Access
Certain areas of the Site may require that you register for access, or sign up for a service or email communications. Registered users need a user ID or email, password, and/or other information, and we use this information to create and maintain an account for you, or to communicate with you, which is necessary for providing you the content, service, and network management that comes with the Site. Thus, it is a condition of your use of the Site that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete. You agree to treat such Information as confidential, and not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your Information is personal to you, and you agree not to provide any other person with access to the Site using your account Information. Collected information will be used according to the terms of the Avahi Privacy Policy.

4.5. Equitable Relief You acknowledge that a breach of any proprietary rights described in these Terms of Use may cause us irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, you agree that we may institute an action to enjoin you from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy will be cumulative and not exclusive, and we may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which we may be entitled at law or in equity.
