All feedback, comments, requests for technical support, or other communications relating to the Site should be directed to the EngineeringTrainer support team by emailing support@engineeringtrainer.com.

(f) No Agency. Nothing in these Terms of Use will be construed as making either party the partner, joint venture, agent, legal representative, employer, contractor, or employee of the other. Neither EngineeringTrainer nor any other party to these Terms of Use has, or may hold itself out to any third-party as having, any authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action that is binding on the other, except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound.

(g) Assignment. We may freely transfer or assign any portion of our rights or delegate our obligations under these Terms of Use. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your rights, obligations, or duties under these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, in our sole discretion. Any attempted transfer or assignment of these Terms of Use without the prior written consent of EngineeringTrainer will be null and void ab initio. These Terms of Use will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of each party to these Terms of Use.

(h) Miscellaneous. These Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, the Mobile Terms, together with each Sales Order, as applicable, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and EngineeringTrainer with respect to the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Site. The section titles used herein are displayed for convenience only and have no legal effect. Nothing in these Terms of Use confers any third-party beneficiary rights or remedies. The inclusion of your purchase order number on any Sales Order, invoice, or other EngineeringTrainer-provided document is for reference purposes only and is not an acceptance by EngineeringTrainer of your terms or conditions contained therein or elsewhere. The terms on any such purchase order or similar document submitted by you to EngineeringTrainer will have no effect and are hereby rejected. If any dispute should arise between the parties hereto regarding the terms or subject matter of these Terms of Use or the enforcement or breach of such terms, then the party prevailing in such dispute, whether by out-of-court settlement or final judicial determination, will be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all costs and expenses of such dispute incurred by such prevailing party, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees.
