This obligation does not apply where prohibited by applicable law.
Suspending or Ending Access

This may occur because of misuse, suspected unlawful activity, security concerns, violation of these Terms, technical reasons, or other operational needs.
Where access is terminated, any permission granted to you under these Terms ends immediately.
Clauses that by their nature should continue after termination, including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnification, and governing law provisions, will remain effective.

Updated Terms become effective when published on this page unless another effective date is stated.
Your continued use of The Plan Decor after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those revised Terms where legally permitted.
You are responsible for reviewing this page periodically if you continue to use the website.
Law That Applies to These Terms
These Terms and claims relating to The Plan Decor will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the website owner is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Mandatory consumer protection rights available under the laws applicable to an individual visitor are not waived where they cannot legally be waived.
Any dispute will be handled in a court or forum having lawful jurisdiction over the matter unless the parties agree to another lawful method of resolving the dispute.
If One Clause Cannot Be Enforced
If a court or other competent authority determines that any provision of these Terms is invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent needed where legally possible.
The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
The invalidity of one clause does not invalidate the Terms as a whole.
The Complete Agreement
These Terms of Service, together with The Plan Decor’s Privacy Policy, Affiliate Disclosure, disclaimers, and any other policies or notices expressly incorporated into them, form the agreement governing your use of this website.
They supersede prior understandings or communications concerning website use to the extent those earlier communications conflict with these Terms.
A failure by The Plan Decor to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.
