CONFIDENTIALITY

“StarTree Confidential Information” means information that we provide to you during the term of these Terms that is identified at the time of disclosure as confidential including the Materials and this Site, or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.

General Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and StarTree regarding your use of the Site. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision.

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its choice of law provisions. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the free trial or Free tier at any time for any reason with or without notice. This includes changes to the availability of services, features offered, and access to the Free Forever tier or during the free trial period.
