SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
If You are a partner and Your patron, customer, guest, or passenger pays for a Gitback shipment and due to a delay attributable to Your action or inaction, the item was not placed with the carrier in time to meet the purchased delivery time, Your patron, customer, guest, or passenger may request, directly from Us, a refund of the amount paid. If Gitback, it its sole discretion, issues a refund, Gitback reserves the right to withhold any rebates attributable to the item that would have otherwise been due to You. Delays caused by the carrier will not result in a cancellation of rebate for the affected item.
You are responsible for all charges made via the Sites. You shall be responsible for providing for the inclusion of any desired means of protection, cushioning, and securing for the safe transport of your property. You will hold Gitback and its partners harmless from liability for any damage to, destruction of, or loss of your property during or after transport, whether such damage was attributable, in whole or in part, to the nature of the packaging, or the negligence or actions of the shipper. You are solely responsible for securing appropriate and desired levels of insurance, and if so desired, You must contact the person or entity in possession of the Gitback property and request "Third Party Shipment" with the desired additional insurance coverage. All shipping claims must be directed to and settled with the shipping carrier. Gitback does not physically handle your shipped property.
Note that due to shipping regulations, certain items cannot be shipped without proper certifications. Gitback and its partners take no responsibility for your shipping of such controlled items if for any reason you elect to do so, and you will be solely responsible for compliance with all such laws and regulations and solely liable for any shipping in violation of any such laws and regulations.
You shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gitback and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents ("Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, suits, proceedings, investigations or actions (collectively, "Claims") and all resulting losses payable to third parties, settlements, judgments, awards, damages payable to third parties, and any and all legal, accounting and other fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, mitigating or defending any such Claims (collectively, "Losses"), to the extent such Losses are sustained or incurred by any of them and arise out of violation of this Agreement, Your access to or use of the Sites, or Your violation of any laws or regulations related to the contents of your Gitback shipment. You will defend Us against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Us by a third party alleging that Your data, or Your use of any Sites in breach of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third party's intellectual property rights or violates applicable law (a "Claim Against Us"), and will indemnify Us from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Us as a result of, or for any amounts paid by Us under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Us, provided We (a) promptly give You written notice of the Claim Against Us, (b) give You sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Us (except that You may not settle any Claim Against Us unless it unconditionally releases Us of all liability), and (c) give You all reasonable assistance, at Your expense.
This Agreement is the entire agreement between You and Us regarding Your use of the Sites and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter.
You may not assign the Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Gitback. Any such assignment without the prior consent of Gitback shall be void.
No delay or omission by Gitback to exercise any right or power will impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by any party of any of the covenants, conditions, or contracts to be performed by the other or any breach thereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition, or contract herein contained. No change, waiver, or discharge hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party against which such change, waiver, or discharge is sought to be enforced.
Your access to the Sites as well as the terms and conditions and the agreement they create are governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of Nevada, other than such laws, rules, regulations and case law that would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada.

If and to the extent any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof shall be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability and shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. A printed version of the Gitback Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
