These Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms and Conditions of Use” and “Terms”) apply to the web site located at www.invocatio.org, and all associated sites linked to the Site, its subsidiaries and affiliates, including but not limited to any and all related sites around the world (collectively, the “Site”).
The Site is a proprietary application of functional software built from the unique customisation of established third-party proprietary software applications and frameworks, purchased or licensed; and unique content, design and images that collectively is the sole and absolute valuable intellectual property of Invocatio Company (“We” and the “Company” and “Ucadia”) as the Authorised Licensor (“Licensor” and the “Authorised Licensor”).
The Authorised Licensor in bona fide (good faith) and without prejudice, is pleased to provide you with limited access to the Site including the various associated software applications, content, images, products and services (“Services”) of the Site, that may be branded in the name of the Company or another brand and trademark owned or licensed to the Company. These present Terms are posted via link on each web page of the Site (“Webpage”) governing your use and the conditions of our provision of the Services.
Whether these Terms are enforceable
It is well established knowledge expected of users of the Internet that the use of the word “terms” as well as “terms of use” on a web page means a link to the legal terms and conditions of use of a website. However, it is less clear whether such terms and conditions of use are legally enforceable, particularly if the conditions of such an agreement are not clearly present.
For any agreement to be legally enforceable, it must demonstrate that the minimal elements exist, including: an intention to contract, a fair and reasonable offer, clear acceptance of the offer, some valuable consideration exchanged and the promise or intention of being bound to some obligation.
As to the first element (an intention to contract), We assert that all experienced Internet users are cognisant and competent in the knowledge that the use of any website is conditional and subject to its documented terms; and that the choice of an Internet user to proceed in the use of a website is a clear indication therefore of intention to contract to such terms.
As to the second element (a fair and reasonable offer), We assert that a clearly defined set of terms that in essence grants an Internet user limited and free access to a website, providing they respect any and all copyright material and do not seek to cause any harm or disruption, is evidence of such a fair and reasonable offer.
As to the third element (clear acceptance of the offer), We contend that the behaviour of an experienced Internet user accessing multiple web pages from a website such as the present Site is overwhelming evidence of clear acceptance of the offer by the Internet user .
As to the fourth element (some valuable consideration), We assert that a website such as the present Site represents valuable consideration of considerable value and investment that may be quantified and qualified several ways, including (but not limited to) the capital investment in time and resources to build, program and maintain such a website.
As to the fifth element (promise or intention of being bound to some obligation), We assert that the behaviour of an experienced Internet user accessing multiple web pages from a website such as the present Site is overwhelming evidence of the intention and expectation of such an Internet user to be bound to some obligation as specified under the terms of the website, given their use and multiple views.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES. BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SITE.
So long as you comply with the present Terms, the Authorised Licensor grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited User License (“User License”) as an Authorised User (“Authorised User”) to enter and use the Site.
ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US MUST BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THESE TERMS AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THIS CONTRACT.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS IS INTENDED TO AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW IN YOUR USUAL PLACE OF RESIDENCE. IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THOSE RIGHTS AND THESE TERMS, YOUR RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW WILL PREVAIL.

If clear Evidence or Proof of a material breach of these Terms and Conditions of Use is discovered against the User, then the Company or its duly Authorised Licensors or Agents may disclose any information they have about the User (including their identity and practices) if it is determined that such disclosure is necessary in connection with any investigation or complaint regarding the material breach of these Terms and Conditions of Use, or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Ucadia’s rights or property, or the rights or property of visitors to or users of the Site, including Ucadia’s members or supporters.
49. The Company and its duly Authorised Licensors and Agents reserves the right at all times to disclose any information that Ucadia deems necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. Furthermore, Ucadia also may disclose your information when Ucadia determines that applicable law requires or permits such disclosure, including exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection purposes or the exposure of unconscionable business practices by other parties.
50. The User as Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Ucadia may preserve any transmittal or communication by you with Ucadia through the Site or any service offered on or through the Site, and may also disclose such data if required to do so by law or Ucadia determines that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with legal process, (b) enforce these Terms, (c) respond to claims that any such data violates the rights of others, or (d) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Ucadia, its employees, users of or visitors to the Site, and the public.
51. The User as Licensee agrees that the Company and its duly Authorised Licensors and Agents may, in its sole discretion and without prior warning or notice, terminate User access to the Site and/or block future access of the User to the Site if it is determined through proper evidence that the User has deliberately and willingly violated these Terms or other agreements or guidelines which may be associated with their use of the Site.
52. The User as Licensee agrees without reservation that any deliberate violation by the User these Terms will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice, and will cause irreparable harm to Ucadia, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to Ucadia obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that the Company or its duly Authorised Licensors or Agents deem necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies the Company or its duly Authorised Licensors or Agents may have at law or in equity.
53. The User as Licensee agrees without reservation that Ucadia may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, terminate User access to the Site, for cause, which includes (but is not limited to) (a) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (b) a request by the User (self-initiated account deletions), (c) discontinuance or material modification of the Site or any service offered on or through the Site, or (d) unexpected technical issues or problems.
54. The User as Licensee agrees without reservation that if the Company or its duly Authorised Licensors or Agents do take any legal action against the User as a result of one of more material violations of these Terms, then the Company or its duly Authorised Licensors or Agents will be entitled to recover from the User all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such action, in addition to any other relief granted to Ucadia. Furthermore, the User agrees that the Company or its duly Authorised Licensors or Agents will not be liable to you or to any third party for termination of access to the Site as a result of any violation of these Terms.
XVI. Governing Law, Arbitration and General
55. Notwithstanding the rights of persons to seek relief and remedy through competent legal forums through legal proceedings and litigation, all parties to the present Agreement agree to first seek Arbitration in accord with this Agreement.
56. Without prejudice to the subject matter of any Arbitration, all parties agree without reservation that any such hearing and determination concerning an Arbitration shall be limited to the scope of the alleged cause of action and shall not exceed the scope of such cause.
57. Both parties to the present Agreement agree without qualification or reservation that all procedural matters of Arbitration shall first be governed by the laws of Ucadia; and that no action or filing of any kind shall commence in a non-Ucadian forum of law concerning any such dispute between the Parties until all of procedural matters and rights of appeal have been fully exercised and exhausted under Ucadia Law.
58. In relation to such matters of Arbitration, both parties agree firstly to the personal, subject matter and territorial jurisdiction of Ucadia and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.
59. No waiver of a right or remedy under the present Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting it. It is only effective in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is granted. A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy under the present Agreement does not prevent a further exercise of that or of any other right or remedy. Failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right or remedy under the present Agreement does not operate as a waiver or prevent further exercise of that or of any other right or remedy.
60. This Agreement, constitutes the entire understanding between the Licensor and User as Licensee concerning the subject matter hereof, supersedes all prior written or oral agreements pertaining hereto and cannot be modified except by the clauses within the Terms defined herein.
61. This Agreement shall be liberally construed to affect the purposes of the Company and its duly Authorised Licensors and Agents. In the event that any provision of the present Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable at law, such provision shall hereby be severed from the present Agreement to the extent that such provision is void, or invalid and unenforceable. Furthermore, any such ruling or action shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the present Agreement.
