Upon termination of your Account, you shall no longer have the right to use and/or access the Services or Platform. This may include suspending or terminating your access to our Discord community.

These Terms together with the Privacy Policy set out the entire Agreement between us relating to the subject matter herein and supersede and any all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between us.
This provision survives termination of these Terms. All parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute relating to the access or use of the Websites or Services on an individual basis. If you have a question or concern about the Website or Services, please contact us first at support@joshwcomeau.com. Our support team will try to answer your question or resolve your concern. In the event we are unable to resolve the dispute directly, the parties agree to resolve any and all disputes through binding arbitration or in small claims court (to the extent the claim qualifies) instead of in courts of general jurisdiction, and only on an individual basis. Each party will initially bear its own attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any dispute resolution.
These Terms and your use of the Services or Websites are governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the applicable laws of the Province of Québec and the Federal Laws of Canada without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any cause of action brought to enforce these Terms, or in connection with any matters related to the Websites or Services shall be brought only before the Courts of Québec, sitting in Montréal, Canada, and you hereby irrevocably consent and attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of that Court.
The headings and subheadings herein are provided for convenience of reference only and are not to be used in construing these Terms or any provision thereof.
These Terms are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or convey these Terms to a third-party without restriction or notice to you.
Josh W Comeau shall be excused for the period of any delay in the performance of any of its obligations under these Terms when such delay is due (in whole or in part) to a cause reasonably beyond our control, including, without limitation, labor disputes, pandemics, epidemics, civil commotion, war, governmental regulations or controls, government action, fire or other casualty, weather, and/or acts of God.
Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We do not guarantee we will take action against all breaches of these Terms.
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any law, such provision or part thereof shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of these Terms but the legality, validity and enforceability of the other provisions in these Terms shall not be affected. In that event, the parties shall replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof with a provision or part thereof that is legal, valid and enforceable and that has, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof, given the contents and purpose of these Terms.
Any provisions of these Terms, the performance of which by either or both parties, or by their sense and context, are intended to survive, will survive the completion, expiration, termination or cancellation of these Terms.
We may, in our sole discretion, update these Terms to, for example, reflect changes to our practice or to the law. Please review the Terms regularly. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you should discontinue your access or use of Websites or Services. Your continued use of the Websites or Services shall mean that you accept those changes. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.
