Effective Date: 2023/ 9/ 25
The following Terms of Service (the “Terms”) establish the terms and conditions governing the relationship between you and Overthehand Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). The Terms outline the rules by which you may access and use the MASCOZ service and related websites, programs, software, applications, etc. (collectively, the “Services”).
It’s important to understand that the Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and us. Therefore, we urge you to review them carefully. If you are below 18 years of age (or the age of majority applicable in your jurisdiction of residence), have your parent or legal guardian review the Terms. If you disagree with any provision of the Terms, you should refrain from accessing or using the Services or any other information connected to the Services. By clicking “[Create Account]” or by using or continuing to use the Services, you indicate your agreement to comply with each of the terms set forth in this document. Please note that the Supplemental Terms at the end of this document and our Privacy Policy are in their entirety incorporated in the Terms by reference.
We may, at our sole discretion, make amendments to the Terms from time to time. Such amendments could occur when we introduce new features to our Services or in response to regulatory changes. The amended Terms will be made available on [this page]. You hereby acknowledge and agree that by doing so, we have provided you with sufficient notice of the amendment. While we will make reasonable efforts to inform you of material changes to the Terms, you should also periodically review the Terms for any such modifications. The “Effective Date” at the top of the Terms will be updated as well. You hereby understand and agree that continuing to access or use the Services after the Effective Date of the amended Terms constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to the amended Terms. If you disagree with the amended Terms, you must discontinue your access and/or use of the Services.

If you are under 18 years of age (or the age of majority applicable in your jurisdiction of residence), you must have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to access and/or use the Service, as well as have them read and agree to the Terms. You hereby represent and affirm that you are at least 18 years old (or at least the age of majority applicable in your jurisdiction of residence) or that you are the parent or legal guardian of a user who is under such age of majority but is at least 13 years of age or the minimum age applicable in the user’s jurisdiction of residence (“minor”).
If you are the parent or legal guardian of a user who is a minor, you hereby represent and agree that you are agreeing to the Terms on behalf of the minor, and you further understand and agree that you will bind the minor to the Terms and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents against any and all claims, actions, suits or proceedings, as well as any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with the minor’s breach of any provision of the Terms.
b. Availability Across Jurisdictions: The Services might not be accessible in all jurisdictions. The Company has the sole and absolute discretion in determining the jurisdictions in which the Services will be offered. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to add or remove jurisdictions at any time, for any reason or no reason, and without prior notice or liability to you.
The Company may also employ measures to restrict access to the Services from jurisdictions where use of the Services is prohibited or limited. It is your responsibility to adhere to such restrictions, even if the measures implemented by the Company are ineffective or can be circumvented. For example, you must not use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to avoid geographical restrictions imposed by us. You hereby understand and agree that the Company will not be liable for any damages arising from avoiding or circumventing geographically restrictive measures implemented by us.
