9.3.7. SmartFuture AB accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any structure built, in whole or in part, based on Generated Structures produced by the Service.
9.4. Plant Data
9.4.1. The Service includes a plant database containing information on over 400,000 species. This data is sourced from third-party databases, including botanical data imported from Trefle.io, PlantSmart toxicity data, OpenPlantBook sensor data, and other publicly available and commercial botanical databases. The specific sources in use may change as we update the database. SmartFuture AB does not independently verify, curate, or guarantee the accuracy of individual plant database entries.
9.4.2. Plant Data is of varying quality and may contain factual errors, omissions, outdated information, or information that is incorrect for your specific region or conditions.
9.4.3. The following categories of Plant Data carry particular risk and must always be independently verified before reliance:
(a) Toxicity and edibility information. NEVER rely solely on the Service's plant database for toxicity or edibility determinations. Misidentification of toxic plants as non-toxic, or inedible plants as edible, can cause poisoning, severe allergic reactions, or death. Always verify toxicity and edibility information with authoritative botanical, toxicological, or medical sources, particularly when designing gardens accessible to children, pets, or vulnerable persons.
(b) Hardiness zone data. Climate zone information may not reflect local microclimates, recent climate changes, elevation effects, or regional variations. Consult local horticultural extension services for site-specific guidance.
(c) Mature size and spacing data. Growth patterns vary significantly depending on local soil conditions, climate, water availability, pruning practices, and other environmental factors.
(d) Water and sun requirements. Optimal conditions vary by region, microclimate, soil type, and season.
(e) Soil pH requirements. Site-specific soil testing by a qualified laboratory is required for reliable pH data.
(f) Invasive species status. Invasive species designations vary by jurisdiction. Some species may be legally prohibited, regulated, or subject to reporting requirements in certain regions. Planting invasive species may result in legal fines and penalties. Verify invasive status with local environmental or agricultural authorities.
(g) Allergen information. Individual sensitivities vary widely. Persons with known allergies should seek medical advice before exposure to any plant.
(h) Root system behavior. Root spread and aggressiveness toward foundations, pipes, pavements, and neighboring properties vary with conditions and cannot be reliably predicted from database entries alone.
9.4.4. SmartFuture AB accepts no responsibility for plant death, poor growth, property damage, personal injury, allergic reactions, poisoning, legal penalties, or any other loss or damage arising from reliance on Plant Data.
9.4.5. You must consult qualified horticultural, botanical, or arboricultural professionals for plant selection decisions, particularly regarding toxicity, edibility, invasive status, and suitability for specific sites and climates.
9.5. AI Outputs
9.5.0. This section applies only to features explicitly designated as AI-powered within the Service. If no such features are currently available in your subscription tier, this section is informational only.
9.5.1. All AI Outputs -- including suggestions, recommendations, design modifications, and text responses generated by AI-assisted tools -- are for informational and inspirational purposes only.
9.5.2. AI Outputs may be incorrect, incomplete, misleading, outdated, or inappropriate for your specific circumstances. AI systems can produce plausible-sounding but factually wrong information.
9.5.3. AI Outputs regarding plant selection, plant placement, hardscape design, drainage, lighting, irrigation, terrain, cost estimation, or any other topic are not professional advice of any kind.
9.5.4. AI may suggest plants that are toxic, invasive, allergenic, or inappropriate for your climate zone, soil type, or site conditions. AI may suggest structural configurations, dimensions, or materials that are not safe, structurally sound, or code-compliant.
9.5.5. AI Transparency Disclosure. In accordance with the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), Article 50(1), you acknowledge that AI Outputs are generated by automated artificial intelligence systems and not by humans. When you interact with any AI-powered features within the Service, you are interacting with an AI system, not a human professional. SmartFuture AB will clearly indicate within the Service's user interface when content or interactions are AI-generated or AI-assisted.
9.5.6. Third-Party AI Providers. AI-powered features may be provided through third-party AI providers. Inputs, context, images, prompts, and outputs may be transmitted to and processed by those providers as described in the Privacy Policy and Sub-Processor list. Do not submit confidential, sensitive, or unnecessary personal data to AI-powered features.
9.5.7. You are solely responsible for evaluating, verifying, and validating any AI Output before implementation. AI Outputs must be verified by qualified professionals before any construction, planting, procurement, or modification work.
9.6. No Professional Advice

Landscape and garden construction work may be subject to local building codes, planning regulations, environmental regulations, utility easements, setback requirements, and other legal requirements. The Service does not verify compliance with any such requirements.
9.6.4. Not Construction Documents; No Substitute for Professional Judgment. Service outputs — including plans, drawings, models, dimensions, measurements, quantities, and cost estimates — are not construction documents and are not a substitute for your own professional judgment or for independent design, analysis, measurement, and verification performed by appropriately licensed professionals. You must verify all dimensions, quantities, and specifications independently before any construction or procurement decision.

(l) Your use of the Service to generate or distribute unlawful, misleading, or harmful materials.
14.1.2. Express Negligence. THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 14.1.1 APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, OR SOLE) OF SMARTFUTURE AB, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES. THIS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS ARISING FROM SMARTFUTURE AB'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE (GROV VÅRDSLÖSHET) OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
14.2. Indemnification Procedure
14.2.1. SmartFuture AB will: (a) promptly notify you in writing of any claim for which it seeks indemnification (provided that failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve you of your indemnification obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such failure); (b) grant you sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim (provided that you may not settle any claim that imposes liability on SmartFuture AB or requires SmartFuture AB to take or refrain from any action without SmartFuture AB's prior written consent); and (c) provide you with reasonable cooperation in the defense, at your expense.
14.3. Company Indemnification
14.3.1. SmartFuture AB will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless you from claims by third parties that the Service itself (excluding User Content, Service outputs, open-source components, and third-party integrations) directly infringes a valid patent, copyright, or trademark in the country of your principal place of business, subject to the aggregate liability cap in Section 13.2. This indemnification does not apply to claims arising from: (a) use of the Service in combination with products, services, or data not provided by SmartFuture AB; (b) modification of the Service by anyone other than SmartFuture AB; (c) use of the Service in violation of these Terms; or (d) continued use of a version of the Service after a non-infringing update has been made available.
15. Data Loss and Backup Responsibility
15.1. User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of all User Content and project data. SmartFuture AB strongly recommends that you regularly export your designs and data to your own storage systems.
15.2. No Backup Guarantee. SmartFuture AB does not guarantee the preservation, integrity, or recoverability of User Content or project data. Deletion of data may be irreversible.
15.3. No Restoration Guarantee. SmartFuture AB does not guarantee restoration of deleted, corrupted, or lost data. In the event of data loss, SmartFuture AB's sole obligation is to use commercially reasonable efforts to restore data from available backups, if any exist. There is no guarantee that any backup exists or that restoration will be successful.
15.4. Causes of Data Loss. SmartFuture AB is not liable for data loss resulting from, among other things: infrastructure failures, software bugs or defects, security breaches, human error (by SmartFuture AB or its providers), force majeure events, Account termination or suspension, system updates or migrations, third-party service failures, or any other cause.
15.5. Infrastructure Limitations. The Service relies on Supabase for database hosting and Vercel for application hosting. Supabase database backups do not include objects stored via Supabase Storage API. Both Vercel and Supabase disclaim liability for data loss in their own terms of service. SmartFuture AB cannot offer data recovery guarantees beyond what its infrastructure providers offer.
15.6. Autosave. The Service's autosave functionality is a convenience feature, not a backup guarantee. Autosave may fail silently. You should not rely on autosave as your sole method of preserving work.
15.7. Post-Termination Data Retention. Following subscription cancellation or Account termination, the Account is suspended and User Content is retained for a grace period of at least thirty (30) days (and in any event no more than ninety (90) days) (the "Export Window"). During the Export Window: (a) you may resubscribe at any time to fully restore Account access without data loss; and (b) you may request a copy of your User Content and Account data by emailing hello@gardenly3d.com — SmartFuture AB will deliver the export to the Account administrator in structured, machine-readable formats within one (1) month of the request. After the Export Window, User Content and Account Data may be permanently and irreversibly deleted. SmartFuture AB has no obligation to retain User Content after the Export Window.
15.7.1. Per-Project Export. During an active subscription and during the Export Window, individual design projects may also be exported one at a time using the export feature within each project. Bulk Account-level exports are provided on request rather than as a self-serve action so that SmartFuture AB can verify the requester's identity and protect the design data of other users on shared Accounts.
15.8. Legal Retention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SmartFuture AB may retain limited data as required by applicable law, including for legal, tax, accounting, security, fraud prevention, or regulatory compliance purposes.
16. Service Changes, Discontinuation, and Shutdown
16.1. Feature Modification and Removal
16.1.1. SmartFuture AB reserves the right to modify, update, replace, deprecate, or remove any feature, tool, wizard, analysis capability, database, integration, API, or other functionality of the Service at any time.
16.1.2. For material changes affecting Paid Services, SmartFuture AB will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice by email and in-app notification.

16.2.1. SmartFuture AB may discontinue any subscription tier (including Free Tier plans) with at least thirty (30) days' notice.
16.2.2. Users on a discontinued paid tier will be offered migration to an available alternative tier or termination with data export. Users on discontinued paid tiers will receive a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of any prepaid subscription period.
16.2.3. Users on a discontinued free tier are not entitled to any compensation.
16.2.4. SmartFuture AB is not obligated to maintain any specific pricing structure, tier structure, or plan offering.
16.3. Complete Service Shutdown
16.3.1. SmartFuture AB may discontinue the entire Service with at least ninety (90) days' advance written notice to all registered Users.
16.3.2. During the 90-day notice period, the Service will remain accessible for normal use and data export.
16.3.3. Users on paid plans will receive a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of any prepaid subscription period.
16.3.4. After the shutdown date, all User Content may be permanently and irreversibly deleted, subject to SmartFuture AB's legal data retention obligations.
16.3.5. SmartFuture AB shall not be liable for any damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising from service discontinuation, including but not limited to: loss of access to designs, projects, or data (after the export window); business interruption or project delays; cost of migrating to alternative software; loss of revenue, contracts, or business opportunities; or any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.
16.4. Limitations on Discontinuation Rights
16.4.1. Regardless of the type of discontinuation, SmartFuture AB will: (a) provide a data export window of at least thirty (30) days; (b) refund prepaid fees for unused periods on a pro-rata basis where applicable; and (c) comply with data retention and erasure obligations under GDPR, the Swedish Bookkeeping Act, and other applicable law.
16.4.2. Service discontinuation does not excuse SmartFuture AB from processing legitimate GDPR data subject access or erasure requests.
16.5. Force Majeure Shutdown
16.5.1. In cases where service discontinuation is necessitated by force majeure events (including regulatory action, infrastructure provider failure, or other events described in Section 17), the notice periods in this Section 16 may be shortened to the extent reasonably necessary. SmartFuture AB will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide as much notice as circumstances permit.
17. Force Majeure
17.1. Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms (other than payment obligations) to the extent that such failure or delay results from events, circumstances, or causes beyond that party's reasonable control.
17.2. Force majeure events include, without limitation: natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions); pandemics, epidemics, or public health emergencies; war, armed conflict, terrorism, or civil unrest; government actions, sanctions, embargoes, regulations, or orders; cyberattacks, distributed denial of service attacks, ransomware, or other malicious cyber events; infrastructure provider outages (including Vercel, Supabase, AWS, Cloudflare, or other cloud service providers); internet backbone disruptions; power failures or utility outages; labor disputes or strikes; supply chain disruptions; changes in applicable law or regulation; and any other events beyond the reasonable control of the affected party.
17.3. The affected party shall: (a) notify the other party within a reasonable time of the force majeure event and its expected duration; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of the force majeure event and to resume performance as soon as practicable.
17.4. If a force majeure event prevents performance for a continuous period exceeding ninety (90) days, either party may terminate the affected portion of these Terms upon written notice to the other party.
17.5. SmartFuture AB's data return and export obligations under Sections 15.7 and 19 survive any termination due to force majeure, to the extent technically feasible.
18. Data Protection and Privacy
18.1. Privacy Policy. SmartFuture AB's collection, use, and processing of Personal Data in connection with the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at gardenly3d.com/privacy. The Privacy Policy forms part of this Agreement.
18.2. Data Processing Agreement. Where you use the Service to process Personal Data of third parties (including your clients' personal data), SmartFuture AB acts as a data processor on your behalf under GDPR Article 28. By accepting these Terms, you are also electronically executing and agreeing to be bound by the Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") located at gardenly3d.com/dpa. The DPA forms part of this Agreement and constitutes a binding contract in writing within the meaning of GDPR Article 28(9).
18.3. Controller and Processor Roles. You are the data controller for any Personal Data you input, upload, or cause to be processed through the Service. SmartFuture AB is the data processor for such Personal Data. SmartFuture AB is the data controller for Personal Data it collects independently (such as account registration data and usage analytics).
18.4. Sub-processors. SmartFuture AB uses Sub-processors to provide the Service. A current list of Sub-processors and their locations is maintained at gardenly3d.com/subprocessors. SmartFuture AB will notify you of the addition of new Sub-processors with sufficient advance notice to allow you to object.
18.5. Data Location. The Service's primary processing facilities are located in the European Union. Certain features and functions — including AI-powered generation features, payment processing, content delivery, and off-site backups — involve processing in the United States or other countries, as described in the Privacy Policy and the Sub-Processor list. By using the Service, you acknowledge such processing. International data transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
18.6. Data Breach Notification. In the event of a personal data breach affecting your data, SmartFuture AB will notify you without undue delay and, where required, notify the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, "IMY") within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with GDPR Articles 33 and 34.
18.7. Right to Erasure. Upon your verified request, SmartFuture AB will delete your Personal Data without undue delay, in accordance with GDPR Article 17, subject to: (a) legal retention obligations (including the Swedish Bookkeeping Act's seven-year retention requirement for financial records); (b) data necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; and (c) technical limitations (such as backup retention cycles, which may take up to sixty (60) days to complete across all systems and sub-processors).
19. Data Portability and EU Data Act
19.1. Data Export. During an active subscription and during the Export Window described in Section 15.7, you may obtain your User Content and project data in structured, commonly used, machine-readable formats by: (a) using the per-project export feature within each design project; or (b) emailing hello@gardenly3d.com to request an Account-level export. Account-level exports are delivered within one (1) month of the request, free of charge.
19.2. Termination Notice Period. The maximum notice period for termination or non-renewal of the Service is sixty (60) calendar days, in compliance with the EU Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854).

19.4. Switching Fees. In accordance with the EU Data Act, SmartFuture AB will not charge data egress fees or switching fees for data export or retrieval. The complete phase-out of any transitional charges applies from September 12, 2027, in accordance with the EU Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854) transition provisions.
19.5. Export Format Documentation. Documentation of available export formats and procedures is available within the Service's help documentation and at gardenly3d.com/help.
19.6. Transition Assistance. SmartFuture AB's transition assistance consists of: (a) making your User Content and project data available for export in the formats described in Section 19.1; and (b) providing documentation of export formats. SmartFuture AB does not provide custom data migration, integration engineering, or onboarding support for third-party services as part of transition assistance.
19.7. Why Account-Level Export Is Not Self-Service. Account-level bulk exports are delivered by support request rather than as a one-click action so that SmartFuture AB can verify the requester's identity, protect design data belonging to other users on shared multi-user Accounts, and prevent abuse of the export functionality for purposes other than data portability. This delivery model is consistent with GDPR Article 20, which requires that data be provided on request without imposing a requirement that the controller offer a self-serve mechanism.

25.3. Dispute Resolution — EU/EEA Users
25.3.1. If you are located in, organized under the laws of, or have your principal place of business in a Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area at the time the dispute arises, and the dispute is not resolved through negotiation within the 30-day period described in Section 25.2, either party may submit the dispute to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Sweden, with Jönköping District Court (Jönköpings tingsrätt) as the court of first instance, unless mandatory law requires a different forum.
25.4. Dispute Resolution — Non-EU/EEA Users (Arbitration)
25.4.1. If you are located outside the EU/EEA at the time the dispute arises, and the dispute is not resolved through negotiation within the 30-day period described in Section 25.2, the dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (the "SCC").
25.4.2. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the SCC Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the commencement of the arbitration.
25.4.3. The seat of arbitration shall be Stockholm, Sweden. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
25.4.4. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator, unless the SCC determines that the complexity or value of the dispute warrants a three-member tribunal.
25.4.5. The arbitral award shall be final and binding on the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York, 1958).

Notwithstanding Sections 25.4.1 through 25.4.5, disputes where the total amount claimed by all parties (including counterclaims) does not exceed ten thousand euros (EUR €10,000) may, at the election of either party, be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Sweden, with Jönköping District Court (Jönköpings tingsrätt) as the court of first instance, instead of arbitration.
25.4.7. Expedited Procedure. For disputes where the total amount claimed does not exceed one hundred thousand euros (EUR €100,000), the SCC Expedited Arbitration Rules shall apply unless the parties agree otherwise.
25.4.8. Confidentiality of Proceedings. The existence and content of arbitral proceedings, including all submissions, evidence, and awards, shall be treated as Confidential Information under Section 22, except to the extent disclosure is required by applicable law or necessary for enforcement of the award.
25.5. General Provisions for Dispute Resolution

25.5.2. Language. The English language version of these Terms is the controlling version. Any translations are provided for convenience only and shall not be binding. All notices and communications under these Terms shall be in English.
25.5.3. Electronic Communications. You agree that electronic acceptance of these Terms and electronic delivery of notices, disclosures, and other communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
26. Limitation Period for Claims
26.1. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be filed within twelve (12) months after the date on which the event giving rise to the claim occurred. After this period, such claim or cause of action is permanently barred.
26.2. This limitation period applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise.
26.3. This limitation period does not apply to claims that, under applicable mandatory law, cannot be subject to a contractually shortened limitation period.
27. Jurisdiction-Specific Provisions
27.1. European Union / European Economic Area. If you are located in the EU or EEA: Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you may have under Directive (EU) 2019/770 (Digital Content Directive), Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), Directive (EU) 2011/83 (Consumer Rights Directive), Directive 93/13/EEC (Unfair Terms Directive), or other mandatory consumer or data protection laws applicable in your country of residence within the EEA. To the extent any provision of these Terms conflicts with such mandatory law, the mandatory law prevails, but only to the minimum extent required.
27.2. Sweden. These Terms are subject to the fairness review provisions of Section 36 of the Swedish Contracts Act (Avtalslagen 1915:218). Any provision of these Terms that is found to be unconscionable or unreasonable under Section 36 shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable, without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions.
27.3. Australia. If you are a consumer within the meaning of the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010): Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms purports to modify or exclude the conditions, warranties, and undertakings implied by the Australian Consumer Law. All other warranties not imposed by the Australian Consumer Law are expressly excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
27.4. United States -- California. If you are a resident of California: The disclaimers and limitations in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by California law, including but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 1792 through 1795.8 and the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in California. California Civil Code Section 1542 provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." You expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under Section 1542 with respect to any claims released in these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by law. You acknowledge that you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as described in our Privacy Policy.
27.5. General Savings Clause. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you may have under mandatory applicable law in your jurisdiction. Where mandatory law provides rights or protections that cannot be waived or limited by contract — including rights under applicable data protection law (including Canada's PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25, Australia's Privacy Act 1988, Brazil's LGPD, New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020, and applicable US state privacy laws), consumer protection law, or other mandatory local law — those protections prevail over any conflicting provision of these Terms, to the minimum extent required. SmartFuture AB respects all mandatory legal requirements in the jurisdictions where it operates.
27.6. United Kingdom. If your principal place of business is in the United Kingdom:
(a) UK GDPR. Processing of your personal data is subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) as retained under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and the Data Protection Act 2018. References in these Terms and the Privacy Policy to "GDPR" include UK GDPR where applicable.
(b) Supervisory Authority. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the competent supervisory authority for UK-based data subjects: Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow SK9 5AF; ico.org.uk.
(c) International Transfers. Transfers of personal data from the United Kingdom to third countries are governed by the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA, effective 21 March 2022) or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses supplemented by the ICO's UK Addendum (effective 21 March 2022). EU SCCs alone do not cover UK-to-third-country transfers.
(d) Governing Law. Swedish law governs these Terms (Section 25.1). Mandatory provisions of UK law that cannot be waived by contract prevail to the minimum extent required.
28. General Provisions
28.1. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.
28.2. Order of Precedence. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the DPA, the DPA prevails with respect to data protection matters. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy, these Terms prevail except with respect to the collection, use, and processing of Personal Data, where the Privacy Policy prevails. In all other cases, these Terms prevail.
28.3. Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without SmartFuture AB's prior written consent. SmartFuture AB may freely assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, without your consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void. These Terms are binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
28.4. Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision or of any other right or provision. A waiver of any right or provision is effective only if made in writing and signed by the waiving party.
28.5. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms are intended solely for the benefit of SmartFuture AB and you. No third party (including your clients, contractors, suppliers, lenders, insurers, or regulators) acquires any rights, claims, or benefits under these Terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no third party is entitled to rely on any Service output or Exported Material, or to assert any claim against SmartFuture AB based on these Terms.
28.6. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between SmartFuture AB and you is that of independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates or implies any partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Neither party has any authority to bind the other party or to incur any obligation on behalf of the other party.
28.7. Notices. All legal notices under these Terms must be in writing and delivered by email or registered mail. Notices to SmartFuture AB must be sent to hello@gardenly3d.com and, for formal legal process, to SmartFuture AB, SciencePark, Gjuterigatan 9, 553 18 Jönköping, Sweden.
