We will bear any currency exchange costs.

9. Consumer Protection Law

10. Limitation of Liability

Career Expert AI, its officers, directors, employees, and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the Site or its content, except where liability cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Our total aggregate liability to you, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the relevant goods or services in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

This limitation does not exclude or restrict liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Career Expert AI and its affiliates against all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Site or violation of these Terms.

12. Applicable Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

13. Dispute Resolution

If disputes cannot be resolved informally, both parties agree to submit the issue to non-binding mediation.
If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the parties may, by mutual consent, refer it to binding arbitration.
Mediators and arbitrators must be neutral and mutually agreed upon.

Costs will normally be borne by the losing party, unless otherwise directed by the mediator or arbitrator.

Both parties retain the right to bring an action in small claims court or to seek injunctive relief for intellectual property matters.

14. Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.

Career Expert AI shall not be liable for any delay or failure in performing its obligations where such delay or failure arises from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of nature, government restrictions, strikes, or internet outages.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

17. Changes

We may modify these Terms periodically to reflect business or legal changes.
We will notify users by email or by posting a notice on the Site.
Changes will not affect contracts already concluded before the date of amendment.
