5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

All content, visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, software, frameworks, analytical models, algorithms, databases, and structural assets incorporated into the Vendoram platform are the exclusive intellectual property of Vendoram or its licensors. These assets are protected by global copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret laws. Your use of the Services grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the platform for internal business purposes only. You acquire no ownership rights or intellectual property interests in the platform or the analytical intelligence provided.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vendoram, its affiliates, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, or licensors shall in no event be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, use, data, procurement losses, operational disruptions, or other intangible losses. This limitation of liability applies whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if Vendoram has been informed of the possibility of such damage. Vendoram provides analytical tools, not legal, financial, or regulatory advice, and businesses are entirely responsible for their own commercial decisions based on our intelligence.

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely secure, or that any defects will be corrected.

8. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Vendoram, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debt, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Services; (b) your violation of any term of these Terms & Conditions; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (d) any claim that your use of the platform caused damage to a third party.

9. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Vendoram's primary corporate entity is registered, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in a court of competent jurisdiction, as stipulated by Vendoram's legal policies.

10. TERMINATION

Vendoram reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate, suspend, or restrict your access to all or part of the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever. Causes for such termination include, but are not limited to, breaches or violations of these Terms, requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, discontinuance or material modification to the Services, unexpected technical or security issues, or prolonged periods of inactivity.
