You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections that by their nature survive termination will survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limitations, governing law).
17) Disclaimers
The Services and all content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and availability.

From time to time we may offer preview, beta or experimental features. They are provided “as is”, may be modified or discontinued at any time, and may be subject to additional terms. We have no obligation to provide support for beta features.
Subject to the above and to mandatory consumer rights, our aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of £50 or the total amounts you paid us (if any) for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability. For free Services, our liability cap is £0.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law (e.g., for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence). Consumers retain any non-waivable rights under applicable law.
Time limit to bring claims
Any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the claim accrues; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred. This does not apply where a longer period is required by mandatory law (e.g., certain consumer claims).
19) Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Habit Mentors and our directors, officers, employees, and partners harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your breach of these Terms or misuse of the Services.
20) Governing law and venue
These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that consumers resident in the EU/UK may also bring claims in their country of residence where required by mandatory law.
21) International use
We operate globally. You are responsible for compliance with local laws where you access the Services. If a feature is unavailable in your country, that does not create a claim against us.
22) Assignment
We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms (e.g., in a sale or reorganisation). You may not assign your rights or obligations without our prior written consent.
23) Force majeure
We are not responsible for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, internet outages, government actions, labour disputes).
24) Entire agreement; severability; waiver
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services. If any provision is held invalid, the remainder remains in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
25) Language and translations
These Terms may be provided in multiple languages for convenience. In case of inconsistency, the English version controls.
