Software

Our Services allow you to download client software for your desktop computers and mobile devices, as well as firmware installed on instruments ("Software") which may update automatically. So long as you comply with these Terms, we give you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the Software, solely to access the Services. To the extent any component of the Software may be offered under an open source license, we'll make that license available to you and the provisions of that license may expressly override some of these Terms. Unless the following restrictions are prohibited by law, you agree not to reverse engineer or decompile the Services, attempt to do so, or assist anyone in doing so.

Beta Services

We sometimes release products and features that we are still testing and evaluating. Those Services have been marked beta, preview, early access, or evaluation (or with words or phrases with similar meanings) and may not be as reliable as PhotosynQ's other services.

Content

You agree that PhotosynQ is not responsible for, and does not endorse, Content posted within the Service. PhotosynQ does not have any obligation to pre-screen, monitor, edit, or remove any Content. If your Content violates these Terms of Use, you may bear legal responsibility for that Content, and you will not hold PhotosynQ liable for any of your posted Content and indemnify PhotosynQ for any lawsuit against us as a result of your posted Content.

PhotosynQ reserves the right to remove any Content from the Service for any reason, without prior notice. Content removed from the Service may continue to be stored by PhotosynQ, including, without limitation, in order to comply with certain legal obligations, but may not be retrievable without a valid court order. Consequently, PhotosynQ encourages you to maintain your own backup of your Content. In other words, PhotosynQ is not a backup service and you agree that you will not rely on the Service for the purposes of Content backup or storage. PhotosynQ will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services, or the loss of any Content.

Links

PhotosynQ has not reviewed all of the sites linked to its website and is not responsible for the contents of any such linked site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by PhotosynQ of the site. Use of any such linked website is at the user's own risk.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend access to our Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.

All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

Warranties

Instruments sold by PhotosynQ have a limited warranty of 6 months. All prices shown exclude sales tax, shipping and handling. The Customer will be responsible for all import duties, tariffs, and charges. If the case of the MultispeQ is opened or the instrument has been subjected to usage outside of normal circumstances by the customer, the warranty is waived.

Returns

Instruments sold by PhotosynQ have a return window of 30 days. The cost of the return shipment and any important duties, tariffs, and charges in turn is the responsibility of the customer. If the case of the MultispeQ is opened or the instrument has been subjected to usage outside of normal circumstances by the customer, the return will not be accepted and refunded.

Changes

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to provide at least 30 (change this) days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

Although it is PhotosynQ's intention for the Service to be available as much as possible, there will be occasions when the Service may be interrupted, including, without limitation, for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, for emergency repairs, or due to failure of telecommunications links and/or equipment. You also acknowledge that the Internet may be subject to breaches of security and that the submission of Content or other information may not be secure.
