Hey guys! Welcome to Encourage X's Terms and Conditions of Use (these "Terms"). This is a contract between you and Encourage X and we want you to know yours and our rights before you use the Encourage X Website \ Applications and tools. Please take a few moments to read these Terms before using our tools.

1. ENCOURAGE X RULES

Before you can use our awesome Website \ App, you will need to register for an account ("Account"). In order to create an Account you must:

be at least 18 years old; and be legally permitted to use the Website \ App by the laws of your home country.

If you create an Account, you authorize us to access, display and use certain information from your account. For more information about what information we use and how we use it, please check out our Privacy Policy.

You can delete your Account at any time by going to the 'Settings' page when you are logged in and clicking on the 'Delete account' link. Your Account will be deleted immediately but it may take a little while for Your Content to be completely removed from the Website \ App. We will save your profile information in case you realize you decide to restore your Account (which you can do within 30 days of de-activating your Account). Encourage X reserves the right at our sole discretion to terminate or suspend any Account, or make use of any operational, technological, legal or other means available to enforce the Terms (including without limitation blocking specific IP addresses), at any time without liability and without the need to give you prior notice.

If, for any reason, any of the Terms are declared illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of a competent jurisdiction, then to the extent that term is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from the Terms and the remainder of the Terms shall survive, remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding and enforceable.

No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Terms shall operate as a waiver of such right or acceptance of any variation of the Terms and nor shall any single or partial exercise by either party of any right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise of the right or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
