Services.

In order to provide the Services, the user agrees to allow LFC to submit reports, follow up with various entities, and assist in reporting lost items on the user's behalf.

Since the success of retrieving a lost item depends on third parties outside the control of LFC, the user agrees and acknowledges that LFC is not responsible for the successful retrieval of lost items. LFC will not be held responsible for any losses or damages that may arise from the use of the Services. LFC does not have a partnership with, and is not associated or affiliated with any airline, airport, TSA, theme park, resort, timeshare, vacation rental, ride-share company, taxi, rental car company, transit system, cruise lines, or other venue or entity where the user may have lost an item.

LFC charges a premium fee for its Services, the amount of which and the associated services are explained on the Site. The user must provide LFC with accurate credit card information for payment.

The user is solely responsible for providing LFC with accurate information to file reports. LFC will not be responsible for the filing of a false or inaccurate claim. The user will indemnify, defend, and hold LFC, its affiliates, current and former directors, members, officers, employees, contractors, stockholders, agents, and representatives harmless against all claims, suits, demands, allegations, investigations, or other actions, and any damages, fines, costs, losses, fees, settlements arising therefrom ("Claims") relating to inaccurate information provided to LFC in the filing of a claim on the user's behalf.

The user is solely responsible for all shipping and handling charges, which are determined by the shipping service. The user is also responsible for procuring all shipping insurance, which is based on the declared value and the policies of the shipping service. LFC will not be responsible for any issues that may arise from the user's use of the shipping service for shipping and handling or insurance under any circumstances.

Term and Termination.

This TOS will remain in effect as long as the user continues to access the Site or use the Services contained within it. LFC reserves the right to terminate this TOS immediately if the user breaches any term in it. Nothing in this TOS limits any rights or remedies available to LFC.

Unless otherwise stated in a written TOS between the user and LFC or the user and a third party with respect to that party's materials or services, this Site and all Materials and Services accessible through it are provided "as is" without any warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or the warranty of non-infringement. The user assumes all risks associated with using these services. LFC, its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, officers, directors, employees, partners, or suppliers will not be liable to the user or any third party for any special, punitive, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind, or any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, those resulting from the loss of use, data, or profits, whether or not LFC has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and on any theory of liability, arising out of or in connection with the use of or the inability to use the Site, Services, any unauthorized access to or alteration of the user's transmissions or data, any information that is sent or received or not sent or received, any failure to store or loss of data, files, or other content, any Services available through the Site that are delayed or interrupted, or any website referenced or linked to or from this Site. LFC is not responsible for any loss the user may incur through the misuse of the Services or failure to abide by the terms in this TOS.

To the extent not prohibited by law, LFC will not be liable for any personal injury or any incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses, arising out of or related to your use or inability to use the Licensed Application, however caused, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, or otherwise) and even if LFC has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for personal injury or of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to you.
In no event will LFC's total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). These limitations will apply even if the stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Cancelation & Refunds

LFC's Cancelation and Refund policy terms of service outline the conditions under which customers may receive refunds for their purchases. A full refund is only available within 24 hours of purchase, while an 80% refund may be provided after this period. Refunds must be requested within 45 days of the original payment date and can only be made to the original payment method used. LFC processes refund requests in the order they are received, giving customers the opportunity to provide necessary details for refund eligibility. Refunds may take approximately 6-8 business days from the time an acknowledgment email is received from the LFC support team in response to a refund email submission [1].

Where LFC, in its sole discretion, believes a customer has abused or is abusing the Cancellation & Refund Policy through fraudulent refund requests, initiating chargebacks after using the platform, or other actions, LFC shall have the right to report the abuse to relevant authorities and publish information about the suspected individuals. LFC reserves the right to modify the Cancellation & Refund Policy at its discretion or against any individual it believes is abusing this policy. Any revisions will become immediately effective upon posting to https://lostfoundcenter.com/privacy-policy/. Customers are responsible for periodically reviewing the policy for any changes.

Miscellaneous

The user will indemnify, defend, and hold LFC, its affiliates, current and former directors, members, officers, employees, contractors, stockholders, agents, and representatives harmless against all claims, suits, demands, allegations, investigations, or other actions, and any damages, fines, costs, losses, fees, settlements arising therefrom ("Claims") relating to any breach of this TOS by the user.

Except as specifically noted otherwise, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this TOS and the use of the Site and Services contemplated hereby will be paid by the user.

This TOS shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting the instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.

If any term or provision of this TOS is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this TOS or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, this TOS will be modified to reflect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible.

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Deleware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction). Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or based on this TOS must be instituted in the courts of the State of Delaware, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue for any suit, action, or proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
