(“Strateos“). The Services are offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms, as well as Strateos’s Security Guidelines and Privacy Policy, each as may be revised and published from time to time on www.strateos.comand which are hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference. These Terms, the incorporated Security Guidelines and Privacy Policy, and the Order described in Section 1 comprise the “Agreement“.

You are responsible for regularly reviewing the most current version of these Terms, which are available at www.strateos.com/terms. Your continued use of any of the Services after any changes have been made to these Terms shall constitute your consent to be bound by such changes. If you object to any of these Terms, or any changes hereto, whether material or otherwise, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate your use and any applicable Orders to the Services according to these Terms.
