Terms and Conditions of COLNOVA INC

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and COLNOVA INC.

Acceptance occurs when you access a covered Platform, create an account, purchase a product, obtain digital content, enroll in a subscription, submit content, purchase publishing or distribution services, install a COLNOVA application, or select an acceptance control linked to these Terms.

When a transaction requires affirmative electronic acceptance, your electronic action records your agreement to these Terms and any transaction-specific terms presented with the transaction.

Florida Statutes Section 668.50 recognizes electronic records, electronic signatures, and electronic contracts subject to statutory requirements.

If you reject these Terms, do not create an account, complete a transaction, install a digital product, enroll in a service, or continue accessing the applicable Platform.

You must possess legal capacity to enter a binding contract.

When you act for a company, organization, publisher, author, agency, or another legal entity, you represent your authority to bind the entity, confirm the accuracy of submitted information, and accept these Terms for the entity.

Particular applications, commerce functions, community features, payment services, or products may impose additional age or eligibility requirements.

COLNOVA INC conducts business through specialized companies including COLNOVA PUBLISHING, COLNOVA PRESS, COLNOVA MARKET, and COLNOVA LABS.

A Platform, purchase, agreement, marketplace, application store, or service may present terms specific to a company or transaction. Specific terms control a direct conflict involving the same transaction.

COLNOVA INC may modify, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue Platform features, products, content, applications, subscription plans, or services according to operational and commercial requirements.

COLNOVA INC may change technical requirements or end support for obsolete software, devices, operating systems, integrations, or application versions.

Applicable contractual and consumer rights remain effective when a material change affects a prepaid service, subscription, or existing contractual commitment.

COLNOVA INC, its licensors, or the applicable rights holder owns protected Platform content and original materials.

Protected assets may include COLNOVA names, logos, corporate branding, website designs, source code, application code, software, databases, interfaces, graphics, illustrations, photography, video, audio, articles, editorial content, publishing materials, book designs, cover artwork, marketing materials, product descriptions, digital assets, workflows, documentation, research, and data compilations.

These Terms do not transfer COLNOVA intellectual property ownership to you.

Subject to these Terms, COLNOVA INC grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license for lawful access to the applicable Platform for its intended purpose.

Without written authorization, you must not commercially reproduce COLNOVA content, republish protected material, sell or sublicense software or digital assets, remove proprietary notices, reverse engineer applications beyond rights granted by applicable law, bypass digital rights controls, conduct unauthorized automated extraction, copy proprietary databases, extract protected content for commercial system training, impersonate COLNOVA INC, or create misleading domains, accounts, applications, or advertising connected with COLNOVA branding.

COLNOVA INC, authors, publishers, contributors, licensors, or other rights holders may own books, e-books, articles, photographs, illustrations, and other published materials.

A physical book purchase transfers ownership of the purchased physical copy. A digital publication purchase grants the digital rights stated with the product. Neither transaction transfers copyright unless a separate written agreement expressly transfers copyright.

You must obtain applicable permission before reproducing, distributing, publicly performing, publicly displaying, translating, adapting, reselling protected digital copies, or creating derivative works beyond rights granted by law or license.

COLNOVA LABS licenses software and mobile applications unless a written agreement expressly transfers ownership.

Application-specific terms may grant a limited license for installation and operation for an intended purpose.

You must not bypass security systems, bypass subscription controls, introduce malicious code, interfere with application infrastructure, probe systems without authorization, attempt unauthorized access, exploit vulnerabilities, copy proprietary code, or redistribute paid software without authorization.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, or another distributor may impose separate application-store terms governing downloads, billing, subscriptions, and refunds processed through its platform.

Some Platforms may require an account.

You agree to provide accurate information, maintain current account information, protect credentials, protect access to your email and authentication methods, report suspected unauthorized activity, and accept responsibility for account activity to the extent applicable law permits.

You must not create an account under a false identity or access another person's credentials without authorization.

COLNOVA INC may apply authentication, verification, fraud-prevention, rate-limiting, and account-security controls.

COLNOVA INC may temporarily restrict access after reasonable suspicion of account compromise, fraud, automated abuse, payment fraud, security threats, material violations, unauthorized resale, or circumvention of technical restrictions.

A product display represents an invitation to place an order unless the Platform expressly states another arrangement.

Order submission does not require COLNOVA INC to accept the order.

COLNOVA INC may reject or cancel an order before fulfillment because of product unavailability, pricing errors, inventory errors, payment failure, suspected fraud, shipping restrictions, marketplace restrictions, export restrictions, incorrect product information, or technical errors.

When COLNOVA INC cancels an order after payment and before providing the purchased item or service, COLNOVA INC refunds the applicable amount.

Prices appear in the currency displayed during checkout.

Before transaction completion, the applicable checkout process presents material charges associated with the purchase. Charges may include product price, subscription price, service fees, shipping, delivery, taxes, marketplace charges, or optional additions.

COLNOVA INC does not intentionally conceal mandatory transaction charges.

Florida Statutes Section 501.204 prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in trade or commerce. COLNOVA INC structures transaction disclosures to communicate material commercial terms clearly.

Third-party payment gateways, marketplaces, financial institutions, digital wallets, or application stores may process payments.

By completing a transaction, you authorize the applicable payment provider to process charges associated with your purchase.

Payment providers may establish separate transaction terms, verification requirements, fraud checks, limits, refund procedures, and dispute processes.

Physical merchandise purchased directly from COLNOVA INC remains subject to product availability, shipping restrictions, applicable return conditions, COLNOVA refund terms, and marketplace-specific terms when an independent marketplace processes the transaction.

Product photographs and screen representations may differ from a physical product because of display settings, production variations, packaging changes, or manufacturer updates.

Delivery dates represent estimates unless COLNOVA INC provides a written guarantee.

Circumstances outside reasonable corporate control may affect delivery. Such circumstances include carrier delays, customs processing, severe weather, natural disasters, strikes, transportation disruptions, government restrictions, incorrect addresses, international import procedures, and marketplace fulfillment failures.

You remain responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

Where applicable law permits, COLNOVA INC may deduct or charge reasonable costs connected with an incorrect address, refused delivery, failed delivery, or requested reshipment.

Digital products may include e-books, digital publications, downloadable documents, software, application features, digital media, templates, licensed assets, publishing files, and other electronically delivered content.

Unless a product states different terms, a digital purchase grants a personal or specifically defined license. The purchase does not transfer copyright or ownership of COLNOVA intellectual property.

Applicable refund terms govern eligible digital product refunds.

COLNOVA PUBLISHING may provide publishing, formatting, distribution, metadata, production, marketing, and related services under separate proposals or agreements.

Publishing clients remain responsible for legal rights connected with submitted material. Clients must hold authority for publication and distribution and must avoid copyright infringement, trademark infringement, unlawful privacy violations, unlawful defamation, fraud, or unlawful material.

A publishing agreement may establish copyright ownership, licensing, royalties, distribution, ISBN administration, production, marketing, termination, territory, exclusivity, author warranties, and other project terms.

A signed publishing agreement controls a direct conflict involving the same publishing relationship.

COLNOVA PUBLISHING may interact with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, IngramSpark, print-on-demand providers, digital bookstores, retail marketplaces, wholesale distributors, libraries, metadata providers, and related distribution systems.

COLNOVA INC does not control independent third-party platforms.

Independent providers control their own downtime, policies, account actions, ranking systems, distribution schedules, printing schedules, marketplace decisions, pricing structures, content restrictions, and technical systems.

COLNOVA INC remains responsible for obligations expressly accepted by COLNOVA INC.

COLNOVA PRESS, COLNOVA LABS, or another COLNOVA service may offer recurring subscriptions.

Before enrollment, the applicable subscription interface should present material recurring-billing terms, including price, billing frequency, trial terms when applicable, renewal terms, and cancellation procedure.

By accepting a recurring subscription, you authorize COLNOVA INC or the applicable payment processor to charge the payment method on file at the disclosed interval until cancellation.

Where Florida Statutes Section 501.165 governs a service contract, COLNOVA INC provides clear and conspicuous disclosure of the applicable automatic renewal provision.

For a qualifying service contract with a specified term of 12 months or more and an automatic renewal period longer than one month, Florida law requires written or electronic renewal notice no less than 30 days and no more than 60 days before the contractual cancellation deadline.

For qualifying agreements, Florida law also requires a cancellation path in the same manner and by the same means through which the consumer accepted the service contract.

Statutory exceptions and scope requirements remain applicable.

Unless a more favorable plan-specific term applies, you may cancel through the account settings connected with the subscription, the applicable application store, the electronic process required under applicable law, or the COLNOVA contact page when COLNOVA INC directly processes the subscription.

Cancellation prevents future renewal charges.

Unless applicable law or the applicable offer requires a refund, cancellation does not retroactively refund the current billing period.

Access may continue through the end of an already paid subscription period.

A free trial or introductory subscription may convert to a paid subscription when the enrollment process clearly discloses the conversion.

The applicable offer identifies material trial duration, post-trial price, billing frequency, and cancellation procedure.

Promotional pricing applies only for the period stated with the offer.

Some COLNOVA Platforms may permit comments, reviews, submissions, profiles, media uploads, or community content.

You retain ownership of content you lawfully own.

When you submit content for publication or display through a Platform, you grant COLNOVA INC a nonexclusive, international, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, display, transmit, and distribute the content as reasonably necessary for operation of the feature connected with your submission.

This license does not transfer copyright ownership unless a separate agreement expressly states a transfer.

You warrant lawful ownership or licensing rights for submitted content.

Submitted content must respect copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, and other legal rights. Submitted content must not contain unlawful defamatory material, impersonation, malware, fraudulent material, or unlawful content.

You must not engage in fraud, intellectual property infringement, malware distribution, harassment, threats, unauthorized system access, access-control circumvention, review manipulation, unauthorized automated extraction, spam, Platform interference, vulnerability exploitation, payment fraud, false COLNOVA affiliation, or illegal publishing activity through a COLNOVA Platform.

COLNOVA INC may remove or restrict content violating these Terms, applicable law, intellectual property rights, Platform safety standards, contractual duties, or third-party platform requirements.

COLNOVA INC does not undertake an obligation to publish every submission.

COLNOVA PRESS may publish journalism, commentary, criticism, reviews, opinion, cultural coverage, business coverage, entertainment content, and other editorial material.

Editorial material does not constitute legal, investment, medical, tax, or professional consulting advice.

Opinions attributed to a contributor remain the responsibility of the relevant contributor and do not automatically represent COLNOVA INC.

COLNOVA Platforms may link to independent third-party websites or services.

Independent providers control their own content, availability, privacy practices, security, products, terms, and advertising.

A transaction with an independent third party follows the third party's agreement unless COLNOVA INC expressly states another arrangement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, COLNOVA INC provides Platforms, software, digital content, and services on an as-is and as-available basis except for express written warranties.

COLNOVA INC does not guarantee continuous Platform operation, error-free software, compatibility with every device, continuous third-party distribution, specific search engine indexing, specific search ranking, satisfaction of an unstated subjective purpose, continuation of third-party marketplace policies, or uninterrupted internet transmission.

Consumer rights and warranties protected from contractual waiver remain unaffected.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, COLNOVA INC and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers exclude liability for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages arising from Platform access or a covered service.

Where applicable law permits exclusion, this limitation includes lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost business opportunity, losses connected with third-party downtime, marketplace suspension, distribution delays, shipping delays, application-store failures, or search-ranking changes.

For a claim arising from a paid product or service, COLNOVA INC limits aggregate liability to the greater of the amount paid directly to COLNOVA INC for the product or service giving rise to the claim during the preceding 12 months or $100.

Applicable law controls any liability category outside lawful contractual limitation.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold COLNOVA INC harmless from third-party claims arising from content you submit, unlawful Platform activity, infringement of third-party rights, material breach of these Terms, fraud, or intentional misconduct.

This obligation does not require indemnification for responsibility legally attributable to COLNOVA INC for its own fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or other liability outside lawful indemnification.

COLNOVA INC may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary after material breach, security threats, fraud, chargeback abuse, intellectual property infringement, illegal conduct, Platform abuse, or nonpayment.

Termination does not remove payment obligations arising before termination.

Provisions designed by their nature to continue after termination remain effective. Such provisions include intellectual property, payment, liability, indemnification, and dispute-resolution provisions.

This section affects your right to pursue covered disputes in court.

Except for claims expressly excluded below, you and COLNOVA INC agree to resolve disputes arising from these Terms, a Platform, account, subscription, product, purchase, digital asset, or service through binding individual arbitration rather than a lawsuit before a judge or jury.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement to the extent the transaction involves interstate commerce. Title 9, Section 2 of the United States Code recognizes qualifying written arbitration agreements as valid, irrevocable, and enforceable subject to applicable contract defenses and federal statutory exceptions.

Florida Statutes Section 682.02 also recognizes agreements contained in a record for arbitration of existing or future controversies, subject to applicable legal defenses and statutory requirements.

Before starting arbitration, either party must send a written Notice of Dispute.

The notice must identify the claimant, provide contact information, identify the relevant account or transaction where applicable, describe the dispute, and state the requested resolution.

A consumer may send a Notice of Dispute through https://colnova.com/contact/ and identify the message as “Notice of Dispute.”

The parties will pursue a good-faith resolution for at least 30 days after receipt.

This process does not prevent action reasonably necessary to preserve a claim before an applicable limitation period expires.

If informal resolution does not settle the dispute, either party may start arbitration through the American Arbitration Association under rules applicable to the dispute.

AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules govern qualifying consumer disputes.

Unless the parties agree to another arrangement or applicable arbitration rules require another location, hearings may proceed remotely. An in-person Florida hearing will take place in Orange County, Florida. A consumer retains any legally required location option under applicable arbitration rules.

The arbitrator may grant an individual remedy available under applicable law.

The arbitration agreement does not prevent an eligible individual small-claims action, legally available emergency temporary injunctive relief, a report to a government regulator, or a qualifying intellectual property action involving copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or computer systems.

You and COLNOVA INC agree to bring claims covered by the arbitration agreement only in an individual capacity.

Neither party will pursue a covered dispute as a class action, collective action, representative action, or consolidated proceeding involving unrelated claimants.

An arbitrator may grant relief only to the individual party seeking relief, except where applicable law makes a restriction unenforceable.

For disputes subject to arbitration, you and COLNOVA INC waive a trial before a judge or jury.

For a dispute outside arbitration, each party waives jury trial rights to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver by sending written notice within 30 days after first accepting these Terms.

Submit the notice through https://colnova.com/contact/ and identify the message as “Arbitration Opt-Out.”

Include your full name, the email address associated with the relevant account or transaction, and a clear statement requesting exclusion from the arbitration agreement.

An arbitration opt-out does not affect access to COLNOVA services.

Florida law governs these Terms and covered transactions without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where federal law controls a specific issue.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration agreement to the extent applicable.

For disputes outside mandatory arbitration, the parties agree to jurisdiction and venue in a state court of competent jurisdiction located in Orange County, Florida or the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division, when federal jurisdiction exists.

This venue provision does not prevent an eligible individual small-claims action in another forum permitted by applicable law or arbitration rules.

If a court finds a provision unlawful or unenforceable, the court should enforce the provision to the maximum lawful extent or sever it where necessary.

Every remaining provision continues in effect.

If a court finds the class-action waiver unenforceable for a particular claim in a manner preventing individual arbitration, the affected claim proceeds in court rather than class arbitration unless the parties agree otherwise.

COLNOVA INC does not accept liability for delay or failure arising from circumstances beyond reasonable corporate control.

Such circumstances may include hurricanes, floods, fire, natural disasters, war, civil unrest, government action, cyberattacks, telecommunications failures, electrical failures, transportation disruptions, supply-chain interruptions, carrier delays, marketplace outages, application-store outages, or third-party infrastructure failures.

Payment obligations for products or services already delivered remain due.

You may not assign rights arising under these Terms without written consent from COLNOVA INC.

COLNOVA INC may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, financing transaction, asset sale, or transfer of a business or company.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, applicable refund terms, and any transaction-specific agreement form the agreement governing the relevant relationship.

A signed publishing, licensing, development, software, distribution, or commercial agreement may supplement or replace provisions of these Terms for the applicable transaction.

COLNOVA INC may revise these Terms prospectively.

COLNOVA INC publishes the current version on the applicable Platform with an updated effective date.

A revision does not retroactively alter a completed transaction or fixed contractual obligation unless both parties agree, an existing agreement permits the change, or applicable law requires the change.
