K3 Connect Terms of Service

PKinno Inc. (“Company”) provides: (1) a user account website that may be accessed at http://www.k3connect.net/ (“Site”), (2) “K3 Connect” software that may be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet to access Service (“Mobile Apps”), all for use in conjunction with compatible hardware products (“Products”). The term “Service” means the Site and Mobile Apps.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Service. These Terms give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other legal rights in addition, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under these Terms will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.

Please read and understand these Terms of Use before using the Sites or Services. By using the Service, you signify your acceptance of these Terms, and acknowledge and agree to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Service. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of changes to these Terms will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.

THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT. BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY YOU REPRESENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACCESS. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY YOU REPRESENT. YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF SUFFICIENT LEGAL AGE IN YOUR JURISDICTION OR RESIDENCE TO USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE AND TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
