You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CodeUpscale and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.

Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. You may request an export of your data within 30 days of termination. After that period, we may delete your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
