Termination/access restriction

To the maximum extent permitted by law, this agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California. Use of the Service is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including, without limitation, this section. In any dispute, the parties agree to attempt resolution through good faith negotiation and, if necessary, resolved by binding arbitration conducted virtually or in a mutually agreed location, applying California law.

​DMT’s performance of this agreement is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in this agreement is in derogation of DMT’s right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Service or information provided to or gathered by DMT with respect to such use.

​If any part of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect.

Unless otherwise specified herein, this agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the User and DMT with respect to the Service and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the User and DMT with respect to the Service.

Changes to the Service

We continuously work to improve the Service and may change it at any time. We may automatically provide updates to the software from time to time. You agree to accept such updates subject to these terms unless other terms accompany the updates. If so, those other terms apply. DMT is not obligated to make any updates available and doesn’t guarantee that we will support the version of the system for which you licensed the Service.

We may release features in a beta version, which may not work correctly or in the same way the final version may work. From time to time, we may stop providing specific features. We may do so for example if it’s no longer feasible for us to provide a feature, the technology advances, customer feedback indicates a change is needed, there are changes to our agreements with third parties, or external issues arise that make it imprudent or impractical to continue providing the feature.
