These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at www.ottit.com, including all subdomains, sub-sites, microsites, and any related online services made available by us (collectively, the "Site"). The Site is owned and operated by Ottit Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Ottit ("Ottit," "we," "us," or "our").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 17) THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS.

These Terms apply to all visitors, prospective clients, and other users of the Site.

These Terms do not govern Ottit's provision of bookkeeping, accounting, advisory, or related professional services.

3. About Ottit and Scope

Ottit provides bookkeeping, accounting, and related professional services to businesses. The Site provides general information about Ottit, our services, our team, and our content (such as blog posts and educational materials), and offers a means for prospective clients to contact us.

Ottit makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any output generated in whole or in part by the Tools.

You also acknowledge that Ottit may improve the Tools over time, including through engineering, configuration, and refinement of the underlying systems.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL OTTIT, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, INTERNS, SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, THE "OTTIT PARTIES") BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, USE, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT OTTIT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE, THE TOOLS, THESE TERMS, OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Ottit Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Site; (b) any Submission, Feedback, or other content you provide; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law or any right of any third party (including any intellectual property, privacy, or publicity right); or (e) your negligent or wrongful conduct.

16. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site, or your use of the Site (whether sounding in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

17. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND OTTIT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE WAY YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM OTTIT.

17.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal proceeding, you and Ottit agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. To begin informal resolution, you must send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought to Ottit at [email protected].

17.2 Binding Arbitration

Except as expressly provided below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, the Tools, or your relationship with Ottit (a "Dispute") will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or Commercial Arbitration Rules if you are a business), as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The seat of arbitration is Wilmington, Delaware, and arbitration may be conducted in person, by telephone, by videoconference, or based on written submissions, at the arbitrator's discretion. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including any threshold question of arbitrability or the validity, scope, or enforceability of this Section 17. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.3 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND OTTIT EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS HELD UNENFORCEABLE AS TO ANY DISPUTE, THEN THAT DISPUTE (BUT ONLY THAT DISPUTE) IS SEVERED FROM THIS SECTION 17 AND MUST BE BROUGHT IN COURT UNDER SECTION 17.6. YOU AND OTTIT EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

17.4 Exceptions

Notwithstanding Section 17.2, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for any qualifying Dispute, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party's intellectual property rights, confidential information, or trade secrets.

17.5 Limitations Period

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, THE DISPUTE IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

17.6 Court Disputes Carved Out

For any Dispute that may not be resolved in arbitration under this Section 17, you and Ottit each consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware.

17.7 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this Section 17 by sending a written opt-out notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your full name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes through arbitration. Opting out of arbitration will not affect any other part of these Terms.

18. Force Majeure

Ottit will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, fires, floods, earthquakes, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, war, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, cyberattacks, supplier or service provider failures, or third-party infrastructure outages.

19. Notices

We may give notices under these Terms by posting to the Site, sending email to an address you have provided, or by any other reasonable means. Notices to Ottit under these Terms must be sent to:

Ottit Inc.1954 Placentia Ave, Suite 208Costa Mesa, CA 92627Email: [email protected]

Notices are effective on receipt.

20. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any rights or obligations under these Terms without Ottit's prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without such consent is void. Ottit may freely assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with any merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or operation of law, without your consent and without notice to you.

21. Relationship of the Parties

You and Ottit are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment, fiduciary, or attorney-client relationship between you and Ottit. Neither party has authority to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other's behalf.

22. No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms are for the benefit of you and Ottit only. Nothing in these Terms confers any right, remedy, or benefit on any third party.

23. Severability and Reformation

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if it cannot be so modified, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

24. Waiver and Entire Agreement

No failure or delay by Ottit to enforce any right or provision of these Terms operates as a waiver. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Ottit. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Service Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Ottit regarding the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements regarding the same subject matter.

Ambiguities in these Terms will not be construed against the drafting party.

25. Changes to These Terms

Ottit may modify these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on the Site with an updated "Effective Date." If we make material changes, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice (such as by posting a notice on the Site). Your continued use of the Site after the Effective Date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Site.
