GT Booster Terms of Use




Last updated: 03 July 2023. These Terms replace and supersede all prior versions.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

These General Terms of Use (“General Terms”), along with any applicable Additional Terms of Use (“Additional Terms”) (collectively, the “Terms”), are a legal agreement between you and GT Booster Corporation, its subsidiaries and its affiliated companies (“GT Booster”, “we/our/us”), and govern your access to and use of our (i) websites, customer support, forums, events, or other interactive or cloud services (collectively, the “Services”); and (ii) software, applications, firmware, scripts, instruction sets, and any related documentation (collectively, the “Software”). By accessing and using the Services and Software, you accept and agree to the Terms.

In addition to the General Terms and Privacy Policy (as defined in our Privacy Policy), in certain instances the Services or Software may be accompanied by Additional Terms. Such terms will be presented to you, and your agreement to both the General Terms and the Additional Terms will be mandatory if you decide to use the Services or Software. Any Additional Terms for specific Services or Software control where it conflicts with the General Terms.


Additional Terms

1. Your Agreement with GT Booster

1.1 Acceptance of the Terms. By accessing or using the Services or Software, you accept and agree to all of the Terms.

By agreeing to the Terms, you also accept and agree to our Privacy Policy.

1.2 Acceptance of the Terms for Minors. If you are a minor, which we consider to be an individual under the age of 16 or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction, you are permitted to access and use the Services and Software only after you and your parents (or your guardian) read, understand and accept the rights, obligations, terms and conditions in the Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1.3 Additional Terms. The Services and Software are licensed, not sold, to you and may also be subject to one or more of the Additional Terms. You may not use the Services and Software that is accompanied by or includes an Additional Term unless you agree to the Terms.

The Additional Terms are also subject to change as described in section 1.4 (Amendment to the Terms) below.

1.4 Amendment to the Terms. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, change, modify, update, add or remove portions of the Terms (including any other documents that are referenced in or linked to from the Terms) from time to time without notice. We will change the “last updated” date at the top of the respective document, and, unless otherwise noted, the amended Terms will be effective immediately. It is your responsibility to review the Terms for any changes, and your access to and use of the Services and Software following any amendments to the Terms will signify your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must immediately stop using the Services and Software.

The preceding provision regarding venue does not apply if you are a consumer based in the European Union. If you are a consumer based in the European Union, you may make a claim in the courts of the country where you reside.

13. Dispute Resolution

13.1 Process. In the event of any controversy or dispute between GT Booster and you arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services or Software, the parties shall attempt, promptly and in good faith, to first resolve any such dispute informally. If we are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days), then either party may submit such controversy or dispute to mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, then the parties shall be free to pursue any right or remedy available to them under applicable law. Any claim related to the Terms, Services or Software must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is permanently barred.

13.2 Rules. If you reside in the Americas, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration in your county of residence pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. If you reside in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, mainland China, Hong Kong SAR of China, Macau SAR of China, Taiwan region, South Korea, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal or a member state of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), then the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) will administer the arbitration in Singapore under its Rules of Arbitration, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this section. Otherwise the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) will administer the arbitration in London under LCIA Arbitration Rules. There will be one arbitrator that you and GT Booster mutually select. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, but any witness whose native language is not English may give testimony in the witness’ native language, with simultaneous translation into English (at the expense of the party presenting the witness). Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction over you and us. Where the value of a dispute is US$10,000.00 or less, any hearing will be through a telephonic hearing unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing.

13.3 No Class Actions. YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND YOU MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

13.4 Injunction Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of your or others’ unauthorized access to or use of the Services or Software in violation of the Terms, you agree that we are entitled to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

14. Miscellaneous

14.1 English Version. The English version of the Terms will be the version used when interpreting or construing the Terms.

14.2 No Waiver. The failure of GT Booster to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, nor shall any course of conduct between GT Booster and you or any other party be deemed to modify any provision of the Terms.

14.3 Severability. If any provision of the Terms is found by a statute, regulation or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, you nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the intentions of GT Booster and you as reflected in the provision, and that such provision shall be deemed severable and the other provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

14.4 Headings. The headings in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

14.5 Void Where Prohibited. Contents describing the Services and Software may be accessible worldwide, but this does not mean all Services or Software are available or appropriate for use in your country. Access to certain Services or Software in certain countries may be blocked by us or prohibited by foreign governments. It is your responsibility to make sure your use of the Services and Software is legal or available where you use them. Services and Software are not available in all languages.

Any offer for any of the Services or Software is void where prohibited.

14.6 Force Majeure. GT Booster will not be liable for any alleged or actual loss or damages resulting from delays or failures in performance caused by your acts, acts of civil or military authority, governmental priorities, earthquake, fire, flood, epidemic, quarantine, energy crisis, strike, labor trouble, war, riot, terrorism, accident, shortage, delay in transportation, pandemic (including the Covid-19 pandemic), or any other cause beyond its reasonable control.
