• For paid transactions on WWW.APRENDESECTY.COM: the amount actually paid by you to the Company in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim for the specific product/service involved; and
• For free access to the Websites: ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

This remedy is exclusive. Where permitted by law, the Company may elect to repair, replace, re-deliver access, or refund proportionally in lieu of paying damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages or liabilities. In such cases, the foregoing limitations shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns, from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, investigations, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, experts, and compliance) arising out of or relating to:

1. Your access to or use of the Websites, their content and features, and—**in the case of www.aprendesecty.com**—any digital product/service purchased (courses, videos, audios, templates, downloads, or online access).

2. Your breach of these Terms of Use or of the Privacy Policy.

3. Your User Contributions (including any allegation of infringement of third-party rights).

4. Violations of third-party rights, including copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, publicity/image, or privacy rights.

5. Legal or regulatory violations applicable to your use (e.g., data protection, anti-spam, consumer, export/sanctions, intellectual property).

6. Payment disputes, chargebacks, unauthorized or fraudulent use of payment methods, or inaccurate/incomplete billing information causing costs, fines, or fees.

7. Circumvention of technical controls (DRM/anti-piracy, download/device limits), credential sharing, unauthorized redistribution, or any license violations over digital content.

8. Taxes, fees, or charges applicable to your transactions that remain uncollected due to information provided by you.

This indemnification obligation does not apply to the extent the claim is caused primarily by the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Defense and Control. The Company will provide you with reasonable notice of any claim subject to indemnification. You will assume the defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and keep the Company informed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification; in such case, you are not released from your indemnification obligations and you shall fully cooperate (providing information, testimony, and reasonable assistance). You may not enter into settlements imposing obligations on the Company, admitting liability, or including injunctive relief without the Company’s prior written consent.

The obligations in this section survive termination or expiration of these Terms of Use and/or cancellation of your account.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Websites (www.sectycs.com and www.aprendesecty.com), these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating thereto (including transactions for digital products/services) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and applicable federal law, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

Any claim, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the Websites shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (for example, the Court of First Instance, San Juan Part) or, where appropriate by subject matter or jurisdiction, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. You irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection based on forum non conveniens, lack of territorial competence, or similar jurisdictional objections.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may seek injunctive or equitable relief (for example, to protect intellectual property rights, confidentiality, or security) in the courts identified above, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

(For clarity: the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply.)

Waiver and Severability

Waiver. No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. The Company’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver shall be valid only if in writing (including electronic means) and issued by an authorized representative of the Company.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. To the extent permitted by law, the parties agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.

Cumulative Remedies. The Company’s rights and remedies under these Terms are cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or equity.

Interpretation. Headings are for reference only and do not affect interpretation. These Terms shall be interpreted according to their text, without presumptions against the party that drafted them.

Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the specific terms for digital products and/or services, as well as supplemental policies posted on the Websites (including, by way of example, Content Standards, Intellectual Property/DMCA Policy, Trademark Policy, subscription, refunds and promotions policies, and cookie notices), constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Websites and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, communications, or proposals, whether oral or written, on the same subject.

No other document or communication shall be binding unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Use and the specific terms displayed at the time of purchase of a digital product/service on www.aprendesecty.com, the specific terms shall prevail solely for that transaction.
