You acknowledge and agree that BuildHouse has made the Service available to you and entered into these Terms in reliance upon the limitations of liability set forth herein, which form an essential basis of the bargain between you and BuildHouse.

Our maximum aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you have paid to BuildHouse in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred dollars ($100), whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or conditions, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will cease immediately.

If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using the Service or contact us to request account deletion. We will process your request in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable laws.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

By using our Service, you consent to the application of Philippine law in all matters relating to your use of the Service. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BuildHouse regarding the use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and BuildHouse relating to your use of the Service.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.
