Should any of your contact information change, including ownership of your telephone number(s), you agree to immediately notify us by texting STOP to any text message or calling us, in accordance with the instructions below. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Carmatic Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), including, but not limited to, claims under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act or its state law equivalent, and including claims arising from your voluntary provision of contact information (including a telephone number) that is not your own, your failure to notify us of any changes to your contact information, including telephone number, and/or from your violation of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance.

17. GENERAL INFORMATION

These Terms of Service may be amended from time to time without notice in Carmatic’s sole discretion. Any changes to the Terms of Service will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Terms of Service on this website. The Terms of Service, including any agreements and terms incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Carmatic and govern your use of the Services, including this website, and supersede any prior version of these Terms of Service between you and Carmatic with respect to the Services. You agree that no agency relationship is created between you and Carmatic as a result of these Terms of Service or your access to and/or use of the Services. The failure of Carmatic to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Service, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms of Service. The headings in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in these Terms of Service, the word “including” is a term of enlargement meaning “including without limitation” and does not denote exclusivity, and the words “will,” “shall,” and “must” are deemed to be equivalent and denote a mandatory obligation or prohibition, as applicable. All definitions apply both to their singular and plural forms, as the context may require. Please report any violations of the Terms of Service to legal@carmatic.com. Questions regarding these Terms of Service should be sent to legal@carmatic.com.
