2. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, purchasing a product or membership, submitting materials, or selecting a button indicating acceptance, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Additional rules, releases, agreements, or terms may apply to a specific:

• Contributor relationship;

3. Eligibility

The Services are intended for a general audience.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use an interactive feature unless a different minimum age is stated.

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use accounts, memberships, public profiles, purchases, applications, submissions, events, or interactive features only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian where required.

You must be legally capable of entering a binding contract to:

• Purchase a membership;
• Make a purchase;
• Submit material subject to contractual rights;
• Enter a commercial relationship; or
• Accept terms on behalf of a company.

If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

4. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Services, business practices, or legal requirements.

The revised Terms will display an updated effective date.

When legally required, we will provide additional notice of material changes.

Changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise stated or permitted by law.

Your continued use of the Services after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of those Terms. If you do not agree with a revision, stop using the Services and cancel any affected recurring service before the revision takes effect.

Material changes to a paid membership will be handled in accordance with applicable law and any disclosures presented at purchase.

5. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how IOM collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information.

The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

By using the Services, you acknowledge the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

Where required, separate consent will be requested for nonessential cookies, promotional communications, public-profile information, or other processing activities.

6. Accessibility

IOM is committed to providing an inclusive digital experience.

Our Accessibility Statement explains our accessibility objectives, ongoing efforts, known or potential limitations, and methods for requesting assistance.

Accessibility questions may be sent to:

Hello@iconicoriginalmedia.com

Use the subject line:

Accessibility Request

7. Accounts and Security

Some Services require an account.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate and current information;
• Maintain and update your account information;
• Protect your password and authentication credentials;
• Use a strong, unique password;
• Accept responsibility for activity occurring through your account;
• Notify IOM promptly of suspected unauthorized activity; and
• Avoid sharing, selling, transferring, or sublicensing your account.

You may not:

• Impersonate another person;
• Create an account using false information;
• Register an account for someone without authority;
• Circumvent account restrictions;
• Create accounts through automated means;
• Use another person’s account without permission; or
• Attempt to access private administrative features.

IOM may require identity or account verification when reasonably necessary for security, payment, membership administration, rights requests, or fraud prevention.

We may suspend or restrict an account when we reasonably believe it has been compromised or used in violation of these Terms.

8. Memberships

IOM may offer monthly, annual, promotional, complimentary, or other membership plans.

Current standard offers may include:

• Monthly membership: $7.99 per month
• Annual membership: $79.99 per year

The price, billing frequency, included features, renewal terms, and other material conditions displayed during checkout form part of your membership agreement.

Membership features may include:

• Access to designated articles;
• Access to designated videos or interviews;
• Digital content;
• A personalized member profile;
• Saved content;
• Member communications; and
• Other benefits identified at purchase.

Features may evolve over time. We will not materially reduce a prepaid benefit without providing any notice or remedy required by law.

Membership does not guarantee:

• Access to every publication or product;
• Physical magazine delivery;
• Event admission;
• Personal editorial coverage;
• Publication of a profile or submission;
• Brand partnerships;
• Advertising opportunities; or
• Participation in a separate IOM program.

Any benefit not expressly included remains separate.

9. Automatic Renewal

If you purchase an automatically renewing membership, you authorize IOM and its payment provider to charge the applicable membership fee and disclosed taxes at each billing interval until you cancel.

Before purchase, the checkout must clearly disclose:

• The membership price;
• Whether the plan renews automatically;
• The billing frequency;
• How to cancel;
• When cancellation becomes effective; and
• Any material restrictions.

Monthly memberships renew approximately every month.

Annual memberships renew approximately every year.

Renewal timing may vary slightly because of payment processing, weekends, holidays, or the original purchase date.

You must cancel before the next renewal charge is processed to avoid the next billing period.

Deleting an account does not necessarily cancel an active paid subscription. Use the subscription-management or cancellation process provided in your account or contact customer service.

IOM will provide renewal reminders where required by law.

10. Cancellation

You may cancel an automatically renewing membership through the available account or subscription-management controls.

If those controls are unavailable or malfunctioning, contact:

Hello@iconicoriginalmedia.com

Use the subject line:

Membership Cancellation

Include the email address associated with the membership.

Unless otherwise disclosed or required by law:

• Cancellation stops future renewal charges;
• Cancellation becomes effective at the end of the current paid billing period;
• Access may continue through the end of that period; and
• Partial billing periods are not prorated.

A cancellation request is not complete until it is processed or confirmed. Keep the cancellation confirmation for your records.

IOM may cancel a membership and provide an appropriate refund or continued access where required.

11. Prices and Price Changes

Prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Applicable taxes, shipping, delivery, processing, currency conversion, or other authorized charges may be added and disclosed before completion of the transaction.

IOM may change prices prospectively.

A price change will not retroactively alter a completed one-time purchase.

For automatically renewing memberships, advance notice of a material price change will be provided where required by law. Continued renewal after the effective date of the disclosed change constitutes authorization to charge the new amount, subject to applicable law.

If you do not accept a future membership price, cancel before the new price takes effect.

12. Payments

Payments may be processed through independent payment providers.

You authorize the applicable provider to charge the payment method selected during checkout.

You represent that:

• Payment information is accurate;
• You are authorized to use the payment method;
• Charges are permitted by the payment account holder; and
• You will update payment information when necessary.

IOM generally does not receive or store complete payment-card numbers.

We may delay or cancel a transaction when reasonably necessary to address:

• Suspected fraud;
• Unauthorized payment;
• Pricing or technical errors;
• Product unavailability;
• Legal restrictions; or
• Violations of these Terms.

If a charge fails, membership or product access may be delayed, suspended, or canceled.

13. Refunds

Unless a product page, checkout disclosure, separate agreement, or applicable law provides otherwise:

• Membership charges are nonrefundable after the applicable access period begins;
• Partial membership periods are not prorated;
• Digital editions and downloaded digital products are nonrefundable after access or delivery;
• Shipping charges are nonrefundable after shipment, except where required;
• Event and promotional purchases are governed by the applicable event terms; and
• Physical merchandise may be eligible for return only under the return conditions displayed at purchase.

Nothing in these Terms limits a non-waivable refund, cancellation, cooling-off, or consumer-protection right.

If IOM makes a billing error or fails to provide a purchased item, contact customer service promptly.

Refund abuse, chargeback fraud, or repeated misuse may result in account restrictions.

14. Physical Products

Product descriptions, images, colors, dimensions, availability, and delivery estimates are provided in good faith.

Actual colors and appearance may vary by screen, production process, or manufacturing batch.

IOM may limit quantities, refuse orders, correct errors, and discontinue products.

Shipping times are estimates and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated.

Risk of loss and title pass according to applicable law and the shipping terms presented during purchase.

Inspect physical items after delivery and report an incorrect, damaged, or defective order within the period stated in the applicable return policy.

Do not return merchandise without following the provided return instructions.

15. Digital Editions and Digital Products

Digital editions and products are licensed, not sold, for personal, noncommercial use unless IOM expressly grants additional rights.

You may not:

• Republish;
• Redistribute;
• Resell;
• Upload publicly;
• Share access credentials;
• Remove copyright notices;
• Circumvent access controls;
• Extract substantial portions;
• Create unauthorized derivative works; or
• Use digital content to build a competing publication, database, archive, or service.

Download availability and device compatibility may depend on the product and third-party platform.

Unless otherwise disclosed, purchasing a digital edition does not transfer ownership of the underlying intellectual property.

16. Intellectual Property

The Services and their contents are owned by or licensed to IOM and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, contract, and other laws.

Protected material may include:

• Articles;
• Interviews;
• Headlines;
• Photographs;
• Illustrations;
• Videos;
• Audio;
• Podcasts;
• Magazine layouts;
• Digital editions;
• Graphics;
• Logos;
• Names;
• Designs;
• Databases;
• Software;
• Code;
• Page layouts;
• Selection and arrangement of content; and
• Branding.

“Iconic Original Media,” its publication names, logos, and related marks may not be used without written authorization.

No right is granted except the limited permission expressly stated in these Terms.

17. Limited Personal-Use License

Subject to these Terms, IOM grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and nonsublicensable license to access and use the Services for lawful personal and noncommercial purposes.

You may share links to publicly available IOM content.

You may quote limited portions for commentary, criticism, education, or reporting where permitted by law and accompanied by appropriate attribution.

You may not reproduce complete articles, galleries, videos, digital editions, or substantial portions of the Services without written authorization.

18. Prohibited Uses of IOM Content

Without prior written permission, you may not:

• Copy or republish substantial content;
• Systematically download or archive content;
• Scrape or crawl the Services beyond ordinary indexing permitted by IOM;
• Reproduce photographs or videos;
• Sell or license IOM content;
• Remove rights-management information;
• Misrepresent content as your own;
• Create a confusingly similar publication or service;
• Use IOM trademarks in advertisements or domain names;
• Frame or mirror the Services;
• Bypass a paywall, access restriction, or technical protection;
• Share membership credentials;
• Use automated systems in a manner that burdens the Services;
• Use content to impersonate IOM or its personnel; or
• Use content for unlawful, defamatory, deceptive, or infringing activity.

19. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Unless IOM expressly authorizes it in writing, you may not use automated systems to collect, reproduce, extract, or process substantial IOM content for:

• Training artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models;
• Creating or improving generative systems;
• Retrieval-augmented generation databases;
• Commercial data mining;
• Synthetic-content production;
• Model evaluation; or
• Building a competing content product.

This restriction does not limit uses that cannot lawfully be restricted, including applicable exceptions under law.

Search engines may index publicly available pages only in accordance with IOM’s technical instructions and applicable law.

20. Permissions and Licensing

Requests to reproduce, syndicate, translate, distribute, screen, exhibit, license, or commercially use IOM content must receive written approval.

Contact:

Hello@iconicoriginalmedia.com

Use the subject line:

Permissions and Licensing

Silence or failure to respond does not constitute permission.

Permission concerning third-party material must be obtained from the applicable rights holder.

21. User Submissions

“User Submissions” include information or material you voluntarily submit through the Services, such as:

• Comments;
• Profile information;
• Photographs;
• Videos;
• Audio;
• Story pitches;
• Written material;
• Portfolios;
• Reviews;
• Applications;
• Event materials;
• Social-media links; and
• Other content.

You retain ownership of rights you lawfully hold in your User Submissions.

By submitting material for display through a public or member-facing feature, you grant IOM a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, adapt for technical display, distribute, and display that material as reasonably necessary to operate the feature.

This public-feature license ends within a commercially reasonable period after the material is removed, except for:

• Cached or archived copies;
• Backups;
• Legal records;
• Content already shared by others; and
• Uses separately authorized by you.

Submitting material for editorial, commercial, production, contributor, advertising, sponsorship, or program consideration does not automatically grant IOM unrestricted publication rights. Those rights may be governed by separate submission terms, permissions, releases, licenses, or agreements.

22. Your Representations About Submissions

You represent that:

• You own or control the necessary rights;
• You are authorized to submit the material;
• The submission is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
• The submission does not infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights;
• You have obtained necessary permissions from identifiable people;
• The submission does not contain unlawful or malicious material;
• The submission does not include confidential information you are prohibited from providing; and
• Providing the submission does not violate another agreement.

Do not submit material concerning a minor without appropriate authority and permission.

You remain responsible for your User Submissions.

23. Editorial Submissions

Submitting a pitch, press kit, interview response, biography, photograph, video, or other editorial material does not guarantee:

• Review;
• Response;
• Acceptance;
• Publication;
• Placement;
• Timing;
• Compensation;
• Continued availability;
• Social-media promotion;
• Print inclusion; or
• A commercial relationship.

IOM retains editorial discretion concerning selection, editing, headlines, timing, placement, formatting, correction, updating, and removal, subject to applicable agreements and law.

Payment for advertising, production, sponsorship, membership, or another service does not guarantee favorable editorial coverage unless a separate written branded-content or advertising agreement expressly states the deliverables.

Sponsored and branded content should be identified appropriately.

24. Contributor, Talent, and Program Applications

Applications to become a contributor, participate in Rising Icons, attend an event, or join another IOM program do not guarantee acceptance.

Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise:

• IOM is not acting as an employment agency;
• IOM is not a talent manager;
• IOM is not a booking agency;
• IOM does not guarantee employment, representation, sponsorship, press coverage, brand partnerships, income, or career results; and
• Submission of an application does not create an employment, fiduciary, agency, partnership, or joint-venture relationship.

Any accepted relationship may be governed by a separate agreement.

25. Public Profiles and Community Features

Information you intentionally publish in a public profile may be viewed, copied, indexed, or shared by others.

Do not publish:

• Private contact information;
• Financial information;
• Account credentials;
• Government identifiers;
• Confidential documents;
• Sensitive personal information; or
• Information you do not have authority to share.

IOM may moderate, restrict, remove, or decline profile content that violates these Terms or creates legal, security, or reputational risk.

IOM does not endorse every statement made by a member or contributor.

26. Prohibited Conduct

You may not use the Services to:

• Violate a law or another person’s rights;
• Harass, threaten, stalk, exploit, or defame;
• Publish unlawful discriminatory or hateful content;
• Upload malware or malicious code;
• Attempt unauthorized access;
• Interfere with security or operation;
• Collect information about users without authorization;
• Send spam or deceptive solicitations;
• Manipulate engagement or account activity;

• Misrepresent an affiliation;
• Post confidential or stolen information;
• Exploit children;
• Publish nonconsensual intimate material;
• Circumvent moderation or account restrictions; or
• Encourage others to engage in prohibited conduct.

27. Moderation and Enforcement

IOM may-but is not obligated to-review, moderate, remove, restrict, preserve, or disclose User Submissions where permitted by law.

Moderation decisions may consider:

• These Terms;
• Editorial judgment;
• Legal risk;
• Safety;
• Privacy;
• Intellectual-property rights;
• Security;
• Community standards; and
• Operational needs.

Failure to remove content does not constitute endorsement.

IOM may cooperate with valid legal requests and preserve relevant information.

28. Copyright Complaints

IOM respects intellectual-property rights.

If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a written notice containing:

• Identification of the copyrighted work;
• Identification and URL of the allegedly infringing material;
• Your contact information;
• A statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act for the rights holder; and
• A physical or electronic signature.

Send the notice to:

Iconic Original Media Corp.
Attn: Copyright
Email: Hello@iconicoriginalmedia.com

Use the subject line:

Copyright Notice

IOM may remove or restrict material while reviewing a complaint.

Submitting a knowingly false copyright complaint may create legal liability.

If IOM registers a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office, the registered agent’s information should replace or supplement the contact information above.

29. Trademarks and Rights of Publicity

If you believe material infringes a trademark, misuses a name or likeness, or violates another proprietary right, contact IOM with:

• The affected right;
• The relevant URL;
• The basis for the complaint;
• Supporting documentation; and
• Your contact information.

IOM may request additional information before acting.

A complaint does not guarantee removal when the use is authorized, editorial, newsworthy, nominative, fair, or otherwise lawful.

30. Corrections and Editorial Complaints

Factual correction requests should follow IOM’s Corrections Policy.

A disagreement with an opinion, review, editorial judgment, headline, or accurately attributed statement does not automatically establish a factual error.

IOM may use:

• Corrections;
• Clarifications;
• Updates;
• Editor’s notes; or
• Retractions.

IOM is not required to remove accurate or lawfully published content merely because a subject later objects to it, except where required by law or agreement.

31. Advertising, Sponsorships, and Affiliate Links

The Services may contain:

• Display advertising;
• Sponsored content;
• Branded content;
• Affiliate links;
• Product recommendations;
• Advertiser-supplied material;
• Paid partnerships; and
• Promotional offers.

IOM should identify paid or sponsored relationships where required.

If you purchase through an affiliate link, IOM may receive compensation without increasing the price paid by you.

Advertising does not necessarily constitute an endorsement by IOM.

Advertisers and sponsors are responsible for their claims, products, services, fulfillment, and legal compliance.

Separate advertising or sponsorship agreements govern commercial clients.

32. Contests, Sweepstakes, Surveys, and Promotions

A contest, sweepstakes, giveaway, survey, or promotion may be governed by official rules.

The official rules control eligibility, entry, deadlines, prizes, winner selection, publicity rights, taxes, and other conditions.

No purchase is necessary where required by law.

Do not enter a promotion unless you meet its eligibility requirements.

33. Events

Event admission may be subject to:

• Separate ticket terms;
• Venue rules;
• Security procedures;
• Age restrictions;
• Codes of conduct;
• Photography or recording notices;
• Cancellation conditions; and
• Health and safety requirements.

Schedules, speakers, venues, and programming may change.

Event recordings and publicity rights should be addressed through posted notices, registration disclosures, tickets, or releases.

34. Third-Party Services

The Services may link to or integrate:

• Social networks;
• Video and audio platforms;
• Retailers;
• Payment processors;
• Advertisers;
• Event platforms;
• Maps;
• Booking services;
• Embedded content; and
• Other third-party services.

IOM does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their:

• Availability;
• Accessibility;
• Security;
• Privacy practices;
• Accuracy;
• Products;
• Content;
• Transactions; or
• Conduct.

Use third-party services at your own risk and review their terms.

A link does not necessarily indicate endorsement.

35. Editorial and Informational Disclaimer

IOM content is provided for general informational, cultural, journalistic, and entertainment purposes.

Unless expressly stated, content does not constitute:

• Legal advice;
• Medical advice;
• Financial advice;
• Investment advice;
• Tax advice;
• Mental-health treatment;
• Professional consulting; or
• A guarantee or recommendation.

Consult an appropriately qualified professional regarding decisions requiring professional advice.

Opinions belong to the identified authors or speakers and do not necessarily represent IOM.

36. Product Recommendations and Reviews

Product descriptions, recommendations, reviews, travel information, restaurant information, event details, prices, availability, and other time-sensitive information may change.

Verify important information directly with the applicable provider before purchasing, traveling, booking, attending, or relying on it.

Individual experiences may differ.

Editorial recommendations are not guarantees of performance, safety, quality, availability, or suitability.

37. Accuracy and Availability

IOM works to publish accurate and useful information, but the Services may contain:

• Errors;
• Omissions;
• Delays;
• Outdated information;
• Technical problems;
• Third-party inaccuracies; or
• Interrupted availability.

We may correct, update, suspend, remove, or modify content without notice, subject to applicable law and agreements.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

38. Security

You may not attempt to:

• Test or bypass security without authorization;
• Access private systems;
• Introduce malicious code;
• Disrupt service;
• Conduct denial-of-service attacks;
• Harvest credentials;
• Exploit vulnerabilities; or
• Misuse security-reporting channels.

Good-faith security reports may be sent to:

Hello@iconicoriginalmedia.com

Use the subject line:

Security Report

Do not access, copy, alter, or disclose another person’s information while testing.

39. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time.

IOM may suspend, restrict, or terminate access when reasonably necessary because of:

• Violation of these Terms;
• Fraud or payment failure;
• Security concerns;
• Legal requirements;
• Abuse of the Services;
• Harm to IOM or others; or
• Discontinuation of a Service.

Where practical and appropriate, we may provide notice or an opportunity to address the issue.

Termination does not eliminate obligations that arose before termination.

Sections concerning ownership, payments, submissions, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, disputes, and other provisions that should logically survive will remain in effect.

40. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

IOM disclaims implied warranties, including warranties of:

• Merchantability;
• Fitness for a particular purpose;
• Title;
• Noninfringement; and
• Quiet enjoyment.

IOM does not warrant that:

• The Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
• Defects will always be corrected;
• Content will always be complete or current;
• A product or service will meet every expectation;
• A submission or application will be selected; or
• Participation will produce a specific result.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

41. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, IOM and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, contributors, licensors, service providers, affiliates, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to the Services.

This includes, where permitted:

• Lost profits;
• Lost revenue;
• Lost data;
• Loss of goodwill;
• Business interruption;
• Unauthorized access;
• Reliance on content;
• Inability to use the Services; or
• Conduct of third parties.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, IOM’s aggregate liability arising from the Services will not exceed the greater of:

• The amount you paid directly to IOM for the affected Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or
• One hundred U.S. dollars.

This limitation does not apply where liability cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or other non-waivable obligations.

42. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless IOM and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and agents from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from:

• Your unlawful use of the Services;
• Your material violation of these Terms;
• Your User Submissions;
• Your infringement of another person’s rights;
• Your fraud or willful misconduct; or
• Your unauthorized commercial use of IOM content.

IOM may control the defense of a covered claim. You agree to provide reasonable cooperation.

This section does not require you to indemnify IOM for IOM’s own unlawful conduct.

43. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another jurisdiction’s non-waivable consumer law applies.

44. Venue and Disputes

Before filing a claim, you and IOM agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by providing written notice and allowing a reasonable opportunity to respond.

Notices to IOM should be sent to:

Hello@iconicoriginalmedia.com

Use the subject line:

Legal Notice

Unless applicable law requires otherwise, legal proceedings arising from these Terms or the Services must be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.

You and IOM consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

These Terms do not contain a mandatory arbitration provision, jury-trial waiver, or class-action waiver.

45. Time Limit for Claims

To the extent permitted by law, a claim arising from the Services must be brought within one year after the claim arose.

This period does not apply where a longer period cannot legally be shortened or where applicable consumer law provides otherwise.

46. International Use

IOM operates from the United States.

We do not represent that the Services or all content are lawful or appropriate in every jurisdiction.

You are responsible for compliance with local law when accessing the Services from another country.

Nothing in these Terms waives mandatory consumer rights that apply in your country of residence.

47. Force Majeure

IOM is not responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances reasonably beyond its control, including:

• Natural disasters;
• Severe weather;
• Fire;
• War;
• Terrorism;
• Civil unrest;
• Epidemics;
• Government action;
• Labor disruption;
• Internet or utility failure;
• Cyberattack;
• Platform outage;
• Shipping disruption; or
• Failure of a third-party provider.

This section does not excuse obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded.

48. Electronic Communications

You consent to receive agreements, notices, disclosures, receipts, confirmations, and other communications electronically where permitted by law.

Electronic communications satisfy legal writing requirements to the extent permitted.

You are responsible for maintaining a current email address.

Marketing communications remain subject to your communication preferences and applicable law.

49. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without IOM’s written consent.

IOM may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or transfer of the applicable Service, subject to applicable law.

50. No Waiver

Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.

A waiver must be in writing and applies only to the specific circumstance stated.

51. Severability

If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent, and the remaining provisions will remain effective.

52. No Agency or Partnership

These Terms do not create an employment, agency, fiduciary, partnership, joint-venture, franchise, or representation relationship between you and IOM.

53. Entire Agreement

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, applicable checkout disclosures, and any additional terms accepted for a specific Service constitute the agreement between you and IOM concerning that Service.

They supersede prior communications concerning the same subject, except for a separately executed written agreement.

54. Headings

Headings are provided for convenience and do not limit the meaning of any provision.
