Please be careful about what files you choose to share. Shuttle doesn't actively monitor the files you upload, download or share. However, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to remove files you store with Shuttle and/or suspend your access to your account in the event we become aware that your use of our services or files violate any of Shuttle's Terms or applicable policies, or any applicable law and/or regulations, such as copyright infringement, we learn the material is patently unlawful, we learn the material is malware or supports the distribution of malware, etc. We assume no liability for any content that you or anyone else stores with Shuttle.

Disclaimers

Shuttle is provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. Except where otherwise prohibited by law, Shuttle disclaims all warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Shuttle shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from (A) your access to, use of, inability to access, or inability to use Shuttle; (B) any third party conduct or content on Shuttle, including any defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of third parties; or (C) any unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your content.

Arbitration and opt out

We'd like to resolve any disputes fairly and quickly. Toward that end, if you have any issue with Shuttle, please contact us at [email protected] and we'll work with you in good faith to try to resolve the matter. If we can't solve the dispute informally, you and Shuttle agree to resolve any claim against each other through final and binding arbitration, including claims against Shuttle affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents, and Shuttle affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents. You and Shuttle agree to submit the dispute to a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide whether a dispute can be arbitrated. If you opt out of the arbitration agreement (as provided below), or if the arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, you agree to resolve any claim you have with Shuttle exclusively in Dutch court. Nothing shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property, or unauthorized access to the services. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to file any claim you may have against Shuttle within one year after such claim arose. Otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

Class action and trial waiver

You and Shuttle agree that each party may bring disputes against the other only in an individual capacity and not on behalf of any class of people. You and Shuttle agree not to participate in a class action, a class-wide arbitration, claims brought in a representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person's account. You and Shuttle agree not to combine a claim subject to arbitration under this agreement with a claim that is not eligible for arbitration under this agreement. You and Shuttle agree to waive the right to a trial by jury for all disputes.

Your right to opt out of arbitration

You may opt out of the agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor Shuttle can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify Shuttle within 90 days of the date that you first agreed to these Terms. Your written opt-out notice must include (1) your name and residence address; (2) the email address associated with your account; (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement; (4) date sent, and (5) your signature. You can opt out online by sending an email with the above information to: [email protected].

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Shuttle from and against all liabilities, damages, and costs (including settlement costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of any claim by a third party against Shuttle and its affiliates regarding (a) files stored with us by you or your users, (b) your domains, or (c) your or your users' use of Shuttle in violation of these terms.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the Netherlands, except for its conflict of laws principles. For claims that aren't subject to arbitration, we each agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a court located in the Netherlands.

Entire agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Shuttle. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver

No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be a further or continuing waiver of that term. Shuttle's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Modification

The Terms may be modified from time to time. The date of the most recent revisions will always be at www.shuttle.zip. If we make changes that we believe will substantially alter your rights, we will notify you. If you continue to use Shuttle after modifications of the Terms, by doing so you agree to accept such modifications.
