We may restrict an Agent's access to, use of, or interaction with the Service by any means, including technical measures.

Agent/[Agent Name]

thereby clearly disclosing the Agent's identity;

(ii) not conceal or obscure the fact that the access, use, or interaction originates from an Agent, including by:

  • (a) imitating human behavior or interaction patterns; or
  • (b) completing or attempting to bypass CAPTCHAs or other measures intended to distinguish humans from automated systems;

(iii) respond truthfully to any questions or prompts intended to determine whether an interaction originates from a human or from a computer; and

The information provided on or through the Service is for general informational purposes only.

We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such information. Any reliance you place on such information is entirely at your own risk.

We disclaim all liability arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you, other visitors to the Service, or anyone who may be informed of its contents.

Except as expressly stated by EKUNI LOOSE SOCKS™, the Service and all products made available through the Service are provided "as is" and "as available," without any representations, warranties, or conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant, represent, or guarantee that your use of the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.

Because some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, certain disclaimers above may not apply to you.

Section 17 – Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither EKUNI LOOSE SOCKS™, nor our partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, service providers, licensors, Shopify, or Shopify's affiliates shall be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages.

Section 18 – Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless EKUNI LOOSE SOCKS™, Shopify, and our affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, or reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of or relating to:

  2. your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party; or
  3. your access to or use of the Service.

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim. However, failure to provide prompt notice will not relieve you of your obligations unless such delay materially prejudices your ability to defend the claim.

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, including the selection of legal counsel.

We will not settle any claim that imposes any non-monetary obligation upon you without your prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

You agree to cooperate in the defense of any indemnified claim, including providing relevant documents and information as reasonably requested.

Section 19 – Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall nevertheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

The unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms, and such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Section 20 – Waiver; Entire Agreement

No waiver by us of any right or provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such right or provision, nor shall our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

These Terms, together with any policies or operating rules posted by us on this website or relating to the Service, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us regarding your use of the Service.

They supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us, including, without limitation, any prior versions of these Terms.

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
