6. Community Member Obligations

As a homeowners association serving the Village At St Ives community, certain obligations and responsibilities apply specifically to property owners and residents within our community.

These Terms of Service and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to them, their subject matter, or their formation (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Texas, in each case located in Tarrant County, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, we encourage parties to attempt to resolve disputes through informal negotiation.

11. Modifications to Terms and Services

Village At St Ives Homeowners reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms of Service at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to provide notice of any material changes by posting the new Terms on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms. We may also provide notice through other means, such as email notification to registered users or prominent notices on our website.

What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. However, material changes may include modifications to the scope of services, significant changes to privacy practices, alterations to dispute resolution procedures, or changes that materially affect your rights or obligations under these Terms. For non-material changes, your continued use of the website following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.

It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the website. Your continued use of the website following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

We also reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the website or any service to which it connects, with or without notice and without liability to you.

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity obligations, and limitations of liability. Termination of your access to and use of the website shall not relieve you of any obligations arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability which you otherwise may have to Village At St Ives Homeowners or any third party.

For homeowners and residents within the Village At St Ives community, termination of website access does not affect your obligations under the community's governing documents, including CC&Rs, bylaws, and other binding agreements related to property ownership and community membership.

13. General Provisions

Entire Agreement: These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by us on the website, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Village At St Ives Homeowners concerning the website. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Waiver: No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Village At St Ives Homeowners.

Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms without such consent will be null and void. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. These Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of these Terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Force Majeure: Village At St Ives Homeowners shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation, acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, or government actions.
