Terms of Service

Welcome to Dehurdle (“we”, “us”, “our”) official website (the “website” or “site”). These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) describe the terms and conditions of how we supply content, products and services to you (“You” and, where applicable, “Your”) through our website, apps, and other digital and online services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree that your use of the Services, and the data we receive from you and relating to you in connection with the Services, is governed by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.

You may also be asked to click “I accept” at the appropriate place prior to access the Services. At such time, if you do not click “I accept”, you may not be able to complete your Services.

In order to participate in certain Services, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions; those additional terms are hereby incorporated into these Terms. Where such terms are inconsistent with these Terms, the additional terms shall control.

If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you hereby represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms, in which case the term “You” shall be construed to refer to such entity. You further acknowledge that you will be responsible for ensuring the compliance with these Terms of all individuals using the Services on your behalf, and that any actions by such individuals in connection with the Services will be treated as your actions for purposes of these Terms.

Dehurdle reserves the right to change or update these Terms, or any other of our policies or practices, at any time, and will notify users by posting such changed or updated Terms on this page. Any changes or updates will be effective immediately upon posting to www.dehurdle.com. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your agreement to abide by the Terms as changed. Under certain circumstances we may also elect to notify you of changes or updates to our Terms by additional means, such as messages within the Services or via email.

Our contact email address for purposes of these terms reach@dehurdle.com. All correspondence to Dehurdle including any queries you may have regarding your use of the Services or these Terms should be sent to this contact email address. THESE TERMS INCLUDE AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND DEHURDLE THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT SUCH PROCEEDINGS ON A CLASS BASIS, AS SET FORTH UNDER THE HEADING “BINDING ARBITRATION; WAIVER OF CLASS CLAIMS” BELOW. IN AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE “BINDING ARBITRATION; WAIVER OF CLASS CLAIMS” SECTION, AND YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE SUCH CLAIMS IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY (SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS EXCEPTIONS DESCRIBED BELOW).

The Services are not targeted towards, nor intended for use by, anyone under the age of 18. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you: (a) are 18 years of age or older; (b) have not been previously suspended from using the Services; and (c) have full power and authority to enter into these Terms and that, in doing so, you will not violate any other agreement to which you are a party.

Individuals under the age of 18 may utilize the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, and are otherwise subject to these Terms. Dehurdle does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 18 without verified parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 18 without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Many aspects of the Services require users to register for an account. Information that you provide to us at the time of registration, along with any other information we receive from you or about you in connection with your use of the Services, will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated in and made part of these Terms.

Your account to use the Services is for use by you and, if applicable, Your designated users and cannot be shared or used by more than one user. You are responsible for all activities that occur in the use of your account. You shall: (i) have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all Submissions you make to the Services; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Services, and notify us promptly of any such unauthorized access or use; and (iii) comply with all applicable local, provincial, state, federal and foreign laws in using the Services.

Dehurdle reserves the right to refuse your participation in our Services in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law. In addition, we, in our sole discretion, reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Services as a result of your fraud or breach of any obligation under these Terms or any negative impact to other users of the Services caused by you, as determined by Dehurdle in our sole discretion. Such suspension or termination may be immediate and without notice.

Access to certain materials on the Services is made available for purchase (“Products”). Your payment for any access to any Products is subject to the following terms:

Fees. The amount of, and terms applicable to, the fees for any Products will be made available via the Services at time of purchase. You may pay for access to the Products in full at the time of your purchase or pursuant to any installment payment plan that we make available.

Installment Payment Plans. If you select an installment payment plan, you hereby grant us permission to automatically charge the applicable fee to your designated payment method at the beginning of each applicable payment period until all payments have been completed, all subject to the terms made available via the Services at the time of your purchase. If you select an installment payment plan, you agree to keep your designated payment method information, including all billing information, current, complete and accurate while any aspect of the payment plan remains outstanding.

Valid Payment Methods. Only valid payment methods acceptable to us, or our designated payment processors, may be used to purchase access to the services. By submitting your order to purchase access to the Products, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use your designated payment method and authorize us, or our designated payment processors, to charge your purchase to that method. If your payment method cannot be verified or is invalid, your order may be suspended or cancelled automatically. You must resolve any problem we, or our designated payment processors, encounter in order to proceed with your order.

Refunds. Please consult our Refund Policy (set forth below in these Terms) for information regarding any refunds that may be available for any Products. To be eligible for a refund, you must make a refund request through our customer service team (reach@dehurdle.com) within the applicable time period set forth in the Refund Policy.

No Cancellations. Other than as expressly stated in our Refund Policy, all sales are final and we do not offer any refunds or cancellations. If you select an installment payment plan, you are obligated to complete all installment payments.

Failure to Pay. A failure to pay an installment payment related to any of the Products may result in the immediate suspension or termination of all Services. Upon suspension or termination, you will no longer be able to access your account and any Services. To maintain access to your account and all corresponding Services, your account and payments must be current and in good standing for all programs and Services for which you have registered. Pursuant to our Refund Policy, if your account is suspended or terminated for a failure to pay, you will not receive any refund except at our sole discretion and any scheduled automatic renewals will not occur.

Errors in Charges. In the event of an error that results in an incorrect charge, we reserve the right to correct such errors and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any erroneous amount charged. In addition, we may, in lieu of a refund as provided in this paragraph, opt to provide you with a service credit, with a value equal to the amount incorrectly charged to your payment method.

Taxes. You are responsible for any applicable sales or use tax, duties, or other governmental taxes or fees payable in connection with your purchase. If you do not pay such sales or other tax or fee on a transaction, you will be responsible for such taxes or fees in the event that they are later determined to be payable on such sale, and we reserve the right to collect such taxes or other fees from you at any time.

Automatic Renewal Terms. Certain Services are made available through ongoing subscriptions (“Subscriptions”). By enrolling in a Subscription program, you agree that a Subscription fee will be billed at the price you agreed to when subscribing to the payment you provide for the then-current Subscription period on a recurring basis until you cancel. The time period and recurring nature of the Subscription will be stated at the time you enroll in the applicable Subscription. If you do not wish for a recurring Subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or cancel your Subscription, please email us at reach@dehurdle.com. If you cancel your Subscription, you may use your Subscription until the end of your current subscription term and your Subscription will not be renewed thereafter. You are not eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Subscription fee paid.

Access to Services. You will receive access to the Services during the term of your Subscription or enterprise agreement, subject to the requirement to be in "good standing" as set forth above. We reserve the right to discontinue programs and adjust the Services and programs at our sole discretion.

We may at any time and from time to time, in our sole discretion, change the fees and charges, or add new fees and charges, in relation to any of the Services. We will notify you at least 30 calendar days in advance of any such change. If you do not agree to the change, you may cancel your membership or applicable Subscription(s) in your account settings or by emailing reach@dehurdle.com.

To be eligible for a refund, you must make a refund request through our customer service team (reach@dehurdle.com) within the applicable time period for your program as set forth below.

Our standard refund policy is a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee.

If you are unsatisfied with service, email reach@dehurdle.com during the first 30 days after you submitted the Purchase. We’ll refund 100% of price.

If a different refund time period or other terms are expressly set forth in the terms provided at the time you make a particular purchase, those terms will control any refunds available for that purchase.

Unless otherwise indicated, the Services, including all content, video and other materials on or made available via the Services, are the proprietary property of Dehurdle and its licensors and are protected by Indian and international copyright laws. Any use, copying, redistribution and/or publication of any part of the Services, other than as authorized by these Terms or expressly authorized in writing by us, is strictly prohibited. You do not acquire any ownership rights to any content, video and other materials on or made available via the Services, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms.

When you attend a presentation, webinar, or marketing event hosted by Dehurdle, you grant permission to Dehurdle to make video and/or audio recordings of the event. You further grant to Dehurdle a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to publish such event recordings, including portions containing your image and likeness, for promotional and educational purposes. This clause does not apply to data generated during your use of the coaching platform, which is governed exclusively by our Privacy Policy and is never published, shared, or used for marketing purposes.

You are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable right to access and use the Services in accordance with our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy; provided, however, that such license is subject to these Terms and does not include the right to do any of the following, all of which are prohibited absent separate express written consent by Dehurdle to such action: (a) resell, lease, rent or sublicense any Services or any access to the Services or any content, video and other materials on or made available via the Services; (b) copy, distribute, publicly perform or publicly display any Services or any content, video and other materials on or made available via the Services; (c) modify or otherwise make any derivative uses of any Services or any content, video and other materials on or made available via the Services; (d) download (other than page caching) any content, video and other materials on or made available via the Services, except as expressly permitted in connection with the Services; or (e) use the Services or any content, video and other materials on or made available via the Services other than for their intended purposes. Except as explicitly stated herein, nothing in these Terms shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights.

You acknowledge that certain materials on or made available via the Services constitute the Confidential Information of Dehurdle. Confidential Information refers to certain information that is marked as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or that we reasonably regard as confidential or proprietary relating to our programs, business, products, processes and techniques, including without limitation information relating to our trade secrets, business plans, strategies, methods and/or practices that is not generally known to the public and is disclosed to you pursuant to your express agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

Except as expressly allowed in accordance with these Terms, you agree to hold in confidence and not disclose any such Confidential Information. You agree to protect our Confidential Information from disclosure to any third parties, using at least the same degree of care that you use to protect your own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance, but no less than a reasonable degree of care.

The foregoing obligations shall not apply to the extent that Confidential Information: (i) must be disclosed to comply with any requirement of law or order of a court or administrative body; (ii) is known to you, or in your or our possession, prior to receiving the disclosure of such Confidential Information from us as documented by notes or records; (iii) is known or generally available to the public through no act or omission of you or us in breach of these Terms; or (iv) is validly made available free of any legal restriction by a third party. The duties and requirements under this section shall survive termination of these Terms.

You hereby agree that any unauthorized disclosure of Dehurdle’s Confidential Information may cause immediate and irreparable injury to Dehurdle and that, in the event of such breach, Dehurdle will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages.

You may have the ability to use the Services to communicate with other users of the Services and create, post, transmit or store any content on the Services, such as text, photos, video or graphics or otherwise interact with certain aspects of the Services that are available to other users.

You agree that you are solely responsible for any content you post, transmit or store on the Services (your “User Submissions”) and that you use the Services at your own risk.

By posting User Submissions, you grant Dehurdle a nonexclusive, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, and display such User Submissions solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and improving the Services. This license terminates when you delete your User Submissions or your account, except where such content has been shared with other users who have not deleted it. Coaching session data, including conversations with the AI coach, is not considered a User Submission and is governed by our Privacy Policy. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Dehurdle may, but is not obligated to, enforce its rights in the User Submissions against third-party infringers. You represent and warrant that you own and control all of the rights, title and interest in and to any User Submissions you provide or you otherwise have all necessary rights to grant the rights to Dehurdle that you grant in these Terms.

You agree not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish or send through the Services any User Submission that:

• is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, harassing, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable;
• would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, state, national or international law;

Dehurdle takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Submissions posted, stored or uploaded by you or any third party or for any loss or damage thereto, nor are we liable for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography or profanity you may encounter. Enforcement of the Terms is solely in our discretion and the absence of enforcement of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the Terms in other instances. In addition, these Terms do not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation or promise that the Services will not contain any content that is prohibited by these Terms.

Although Dehurdle has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the User Submissions posted on the Services, Dehurdle reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Submissions posted or stored on the Services at any time and for any reason without notice, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies and replacing any User Submissions you post or store on the Services at your sole cost and expense.

Dehurdle respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on or through our Services (including, but not limited to, any Submission) infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify us by following the steps set forth in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy (“Copyright Policy”). As described in more detail in the Copyright Policy, a copy of your notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material addressed in the notification. Please be advised that, pursuant to applicable law, you may be held liable for damages if you make material misrepresentations in a notification made under the Copyright Policy. Thus, if you are not sure that material located on or linked to via our Services infringes your copyright, you should consider first contacting an attorney.

Any inquiries, feedback, suggestions, ideas, other information which is not part of your use of the Services that you provide to us (collectively, “Feedback”) will be treated as non-proprietary and non-confidential. By transmitting, uploading, posting, emailing, or otherwise submitting Feedback to the Services, you grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to Dehurdle an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license to use, telecast, copy, perform, display, edit, distribute and otherwise exploit the Feedback, or any portion thereof and any ideas, concepts, or know how contained therein, with or without attribution, and without the requirement of any permission from or payment to you or to any other person or entity, in any manner (including, without limitation, for commercial, publicity, trade, promotional, or advertising purposes) and in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Feedback, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing without any payment of money or any other form of consideration to you or to any third party. You also acknowledge that your Submissions will not be returned to you and that Dehurdle has no obligation to acknowledge receipt of or respond to any Feedback. If you make a Feedback, you represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control the rights to your Feedback.

Dehurdle is not responsible for any effect or reaction you may experience from using the Services or content provided via the Services. If you experience discomfort, you may discontinue your use of the Services at any time.

Certain techniques taught or suggested in our programs, such as guided reflection or focused attention exercises, include techniques to narrowly focus on one physical sensation or object of attention. You are solely responsible for only using such techniques safely, including by ensuring that you are in an environment and situation that permits you to engage in them safely. You should NEVER use any such techniques when engaged in any activity that requires you to pay attention more broadly in order to keep safe, such as when you are moving or driving.

DEHURDLE DISCLAIMS, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR OTHER LEGAL THEORIES), FOR ANY ADVERSE EFFECT, REACTION OR CONDITION (WHETHER PHYSICAL, MENTAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, OR OTHERWISE) WHICH YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AS A RESULT OF USING THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT PROVIDED VIA THE SERVICES.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dehurdle’s aggregate liability related to these Terms (whether under contract, tort or otherwise) is limited to the amounts paid by you for the Products. Dehurdle will not be liable for accidents, delays, injuries, harm, loss, damage, death, lost profits, personal or business interruptions, misapplication of information, physical or mental disease, condition or issue, or otherwise, due to any act or default of any other person or business, whether owners, staff, agents or otherwise, affiliated with Dehurdle. DEHURDLE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, LOST PROFITS, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE).

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Dehurdle (and its directors, officers, members, investors, managers, employees and agents) harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising in any way from your use of the Services, your placement or transmission of any message, content, information, software, or other submissions through the Services, or your breach or violation of the law or of these Terms. Dehurdle reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with Dehurdle’s defense of such claim.

You agree not to impersonate any other person while using the Services, conduct yourself in an offensive manner while using the Services, or use the Services for any illegal, immoral or harmful purpose.

Breach of these provisions may constitute a criminal offense under applicable laws. We may report any such breach to the relevant law enforcement authorities and we may cooperate with those authorities by disclosing your identity to them. In the event of such a breach, your right to use the Services will cease immediately.

Dehurdle uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to deliver its coaching and behavioral intelligence services. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated coaching outputs, insights, and recommendations are provided for informational and developmental guidance purposes only, and do not constitute professional medical, psychological, therapeutic, or legal advice.
• Dehurdle does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated output. You should exercise independent judgment before acting on any AI-generated recommendation.
• The AI coaching system is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, counselor, or medical professional. Its design is informed by the ethical guidelines of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), but it is not a substitute for professional human coaching or therapy.
• AI models may occasionally produce outputs that are inaccurate, incomplete, or contextually inappropriate. Dehurdle is not liable for any decisions or actions you take based on AI-generated content.
• Your coaching data is processed transiently through AI systems and is not used to train, fine-tune, or improve any third-party AI models. See our Privacy Policy for details on our zero-payload architecture.

For enterprise clients and organizations that subscribe to the Dehurdle platform on behalf of their employees or members, Dehurdle offers a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that governs the processing of personal data on behalf of the client in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India), and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU). To request a copy of the DPA, please contact us at reach@dehurdle.com.

Dehurdle will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available with minimal downtime. Service availability targets and remedies, if applicable, are set forth in the applicable service level agreement or enterprise contract between Dehurdle and the customer. Scheduled maintenance windows will be communicated in advance where practicable.

Upon termination of your account or the applicable enterprise agreement, Dehurdle will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at reach@dehurdle.com.

Certain data may be retained in fully anonymized and aggregated form for platform improvement purposes. Retention beyond 30 days applies only where required by law (e.g., financial transaction records for tax compliance).

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay arises from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of that party, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, acts of government, telecommunications or internet failures, power outages, cloud infrastructure provider outages, cyberattacks, wars, or civil disturbances.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions set forth above, the courts of New Delhi, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms. For users located in the European Union, nothing in these Terms shall deprive you of any mandatory consumer protection rights granted under the laws of your country of residence.

In the interest of resolving disputes between You and Dehurdle in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Dehurdle agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms of Use will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement with You to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, You and Dehurdle are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

Notwithstanding the paragraph immediately above, You and Dehurdle agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit Your rights or our rights to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court where permitted under applicable law, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek available injunctive or other equitable relief for disputes relating to intellectual property, proprietary data, confidential information or to enforce this dispute resolution clause, or (iv) file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims not otherwise precluded by these Terms.

Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New Delhi, India, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance-based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the applicable arbitration rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

YOU AND DEHURDLE AGREE THAT YOU EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both You and Dehurdle agree otherwise, You will not request the arbitrator or court to consolidate more than one person’s claims, or to otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all notices given by you to us must be given to reach@dehurdle.com. We may give notice to you at the email address you provide to us when you register, or delivered through the Services. Notice will be deemed received and properly served immediately when posted on the Services or when an email or other electronic communication is sent. In proving the service of any notice via email, it will be sufficient to prove that such email was sent to the specified email address of the addressee.

These Terms shall become effective with respect to you on the date you first accept these Terms by using the Services or otherwise, and shall remain in effect at all times while you continue to have an account with us or otherwise use the Services.

Relationship of Parties. You and Dehurdle are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties. Except as provided in these Terms, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in effect.

You may not assign these Terms or any of Your rights or obligations under these Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Dehurdle. We may assign these Terms to any third party in our discretion. Any attempt by a party to assign its rights or obligations under these Terms in breach of this section shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted. Notwithstanding any contrary language herein, the terms of any separate written agreement entered between Dehurdle and You with respect to any commercial relationship or other business interactions between us, including but not limited to any Certifications, or coaching activities by you, shall apply to such activities while these Terms shall continue to govern Your use of the Services defined herein.
