• Trademarks, service marks, trade names, and branding elements
are the exclusive property of HostX or its licensors and are protected under international trademark laws, copyright laws, and intellectual property treaties, whether registered or unregistered.
Nothing in this Policy or on the HostX website shall be interpreted as granting any ownership rights to users or third parties.

• Seek injunctive relief, damages, legal costs, and other remedies
Failure to enforce rights in one instance does not constitute a waiver of rights.
