Thank you for visiting the websites and associated domains of Data Studio Guru (including websites located at datastudio.guru, shop.datastudio.guru, collectively referred to in this document as the “Sites”) and/or using any of Data Studio Guru’s software, products, services, and features we make available to you as part of the Sites (collectively, the “Service”).
These Terms of Service (“Terms'') govern your access to and use of Data Studio Guru’s Sites and Service.
1.2 Applicable Terms
Your use of the Service is subject to these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy (this document is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference and together with these Terms are collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). As pertains to the Service, (1) the “Effective Date” of the Agreement is the earlier of the date of (a) your initial acceptance of these Terms (or Updated Terms, as applicable) and access to the Service through any online provisioning, registration, or order process; or (b) the effective date of the first Order Form between you and Data Studio Guru referencing this Agreement; and (2) the “Term” of the Agreement shall be as of the Effective Date until you terminate your Account and/or the expiration or termination of the last outstanding Order Form. As used herein, “Order Form” means the Data Studio Guru ordering document governed by this Agreement that is signed by Data Studio Guru and you and specifies the products or offerings procured by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, as pertains to the Sites, these Terms remain in full force and effect as of the Last Modified date above.
Please read this Agreement carefully and make sure you understand it. If you do not understand the Agreement or do not accept any part of it, then you are not permitted and may not use the Service.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICE OR ANY RELATED DATA STUDIO GURU OFFERINGS. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS THE FULL RIGHT, POWER, AND AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO AND PERFORM THIS AGREEMENT, AND THIS AGREEMENT IS A VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATION ON SUCH PARTY.
IF YOU ARE USING OR ACCESSING THE SERVICE OR ANY RELATED DATA STUDIO GURU OFFERINGS AS AN EMPLOYEE, CONTRACTOR, OR AGENT OF A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP OR SIMILAR ENTITY, THEN YOU MUST BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN FOR AND BIND SUCH ENTITY IN ORDER TO ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO AND SHALL BE LIABLE TO DATA STUDIO GURU FOR ANY VIOLATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT BY YOU OR SUCH ENTITY.

1.3 Who is Who
The Sites and the Service are provided by Mark Hendriksen, trading in The Netherlands as Data Studio Guru, (inclusive of our Affiliates, collectively referred to as “Data Studio Guru”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
As used in the Agreement, “You” means the individual or entity you are accessing the Sites or using the Service on behalf of. As used in the Agreement, Affiliates means, with respect to a party, an entity that directly or indirectly controls (e.g., subsidiary), is controlled by (e.g., parent), or is under common control with (e.g., sibling) such party; and the term “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means either: (a) ownership or control of more than 50% of the voting interests of the subject entity; or (b) the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through ownership, by contract, or otherwise.
1.4 Eligibility
The Service is available only for individuals aged 13 years or older or the digital age of consent in your country, if older. If you are age 13 or older but under the age of 18, or the legal age of majority where you reside (if that jurisdiction has an older age of majority), then you agree to review these Terms with your parent or guardian to make sure that both you and your parent or guardian understand these Terms and you agree to have your parent or guardian review and accept these Terms on your behalf. If you are a parent or guardian and are agreeing to these Terms for the benefit of a child over the age of 13 (or the digital age of consent in your country, if older), then you agree to accept full responsibility for that child’s use of the Service, including all financial charges and legal liability that they may incur. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer the Service to any person or entity and change the eligibility criteria for using the Service at any time. The right to access the Service is revoked where these Terms or use of the Service is prohibited or to the extent any offer, sale, or provision of the Service conflicts with any applicable law, rule, or regulation.

The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and lawful assigns.
12.4 No waiver
Any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provisions of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our rights to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
12.5 Attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, remedies
In any action to enforce the Term, the prevailing party shall be entitled to attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and costs.
You agree that Data Studio Guru's remedy at law for any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and that Data Studio Guru shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, or both, in addition to any damages that Data Studio Guru may be legally entitled to recover, together with reasonable expenses of any form of dispute resolution, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees.
No right or remedy of Data Studio Guru shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation damages injunctive relief, attorneys' fees, and expenses. No instance of waiver by Data Studio Guru of its rights or remedies under these terms and conditions shall imply any obligation to grant any similar, future, or other waiver.
