The online services are provided on an “As-is,” “As-available” basis and we specifically disclaim warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. No oral advice or written information given by us nor any other provider shall create a warranty.

We impose certain standards on your conduct when accessing, browsing, or using the Online Services. Specifically, you shall:
Site Content
The Online Services and on site services are our proprietary property and contain information, source code, functionality, website design, databases, software, photographs, graphics, audio, video, text, images, typefaces, graphics and other material (collectively “Park Content”) that are protected by copyrights, trademarks, or other proprietary and intellectual property rights. By using or accessing the Online Services, you acknowledge that these rights are valid and protected in all forms, media and technologies existing now or later developed.
Our Intellectual Property Rights
The Park Content and trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the “Marks”) are owned or controlled by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws of the United States, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions.
The Park Content and the Marks are provided on the Online Services “AS IS” for your information and personal use only. Except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use, no part of the Online Services and no Park Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without our express prior written permission.
Provided that you are eligible to use the Online Services, you are granted a limited license to access and use the Site and to download or print a copy of any portion of the Park Content to which you have properly gained access solely for your personal, non-commercial use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in and to the Online Services, the Park Content and the Marks.
Limitations on your use of Park content
You may not modify, remove, delete, augment, add to, publish, transmit or participate in the transfer or sale of Park Content. You may not create derivative works from, or in any way exploit any Park Content, in whole or in part. You may not upload, post, reproduce or distribute in any way Park Content protected by copyright, or other proprietary right, without obtaining permission of the owner of the copyright or other proprietary right.
To the extent that we allow you, through the Online Services, to obtain and use copies of any Park Content — including, but not limited to, photographs — we grant you a strictly limited, freely revocable, nontransferable, royalty-free license to use said Park Content for private, non-commercial purposes by publishing, posting, or displaying it on your social media channels.
Links to third-party sites
Occasionally, we may make available in the Online Services a link to a third party’s web site. These links will cause you to leave our Online Services for sites or services that are not under our control.
We expressly disclaim any responsibility for and make no guarantees about the accuracy, currency, content, or availability of information found on any linked site or any link contained in a linked site, or any changes or updates to such sites. We are not responsible for any form of transmission received from any linked site. We provide the links to you only as a convenience and do not endorse any other site or service or its use or content.
We encourage discretion when browsing the internet. Because some sites employ automated search results or otherwise link to sites containing information that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, we cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality or decency of material contained in third-party sites, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such sites.
Content that you generate
When accessing or using the Online Services, you may have the opportunity to chat, contribute to, or participate in blogs, message boards, online forums, and other functionality, or otherwise disseminate (“Post”) text, images, or other media that you create (“User Content”). You acknowledge that User Content that you Post to or via the Online Services constitutes a non-private communication.
We do not review or screen User Content that you Post, and its presence should not be considered an endorsement by the Park. We make no warranties or representations relating to the accuracy of any opinions, recommendations or other statements made by third parties who have provided User Content to the Online Services through a comment feature of the Online Services or by any other means. Posts may be viewable by other users of the Online Services and through third-party websites. As such, any Posts you transmit may be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. When you create or make available any Contributions, you thereby represent and warrant that:
Any use of the Online Services in violation of the foregoing violates these Terms of Use and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Online Services.
Contribution License
By Posting User Content to or via the Online Services, you thereby grant the Park a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, unrestricted license to use such User Content for any purpose, commercial or otherwise.
By Posting User Content to or via any part of the Online Services, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to us an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide right, and license to host, use, copy, reproduce, disclose, sell, resell, publish, broadcast, retitle, archive, store, cache, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, transmit, excerpt (in whole or in part), and distribute such Posts (including, without limitation, your image and voice) for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Posts, and grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. The use and distribution may occur in any media formats and through any media channels.
This license will apply to any form, media, or technology now known or hereafter developed, and includes our use of your name, company name, and franchise name, as applicable, and any of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and personal and commercial images you provide. You waive all moral rights in your Posts, and you warrant that moral rights have not otherwise been asserted in your Posts.
We do not assert any ownership over your Posts. You retain full ownership of all of your Posts and any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights associated with your Posts. We are not liable for any statements or representations in your Posts provided by you in any area on the Online Services. You are solely responsible for your Posts to the Online Services and you expressly agree to exonerate us from any and all responsibility and to refrain from any legal action against us regarding your Posts.
We have the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, (1) to edit, redact, or otherwise change any Posts; (2) to re-categorize any Posts to place them in more appropriate locations on the Site; and (3) to pre-screen or delete any Posts at any time and for any reason, without notice. We have no obligation to monitor your Posts.
Your communications to us
We would be pleased to hear from you regarding any comments or questions that you have about the Online Services.
Submissions
We welcome your comments regarding content, products and services on the Online Services. We request that you be specific in your comments. If you send us comments, suggestions, ideas, materials, notes, drawings, concepts, images or other information (collectively, “Submissions”), the Submissions shall be deemed, and shall remain, our property. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on our part and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that we shall exclusively own, and you hereby assign to us without compensation or further obligation all now known or hereafter existing rights to the Submissions of every kind and nature throughout the universe. We shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions, including the right to publish in the Online Services or elsewhere and to use the Submission, including any suggestions, ideas, etc. contained herein.

Any questions regarding the terms of this Agreement or requests for permission to use materials on the Online Services for any commercial or personal purpose should be directed to sawgrass@evergladestours.com
Disclaimers
You expressly agree that use of the online services and in person services is at your sole risk. Neither we, nor our affiliates, any of our officers, directors, employees, agents, third-party content providers, merchants, sponsors, licensors, or the like (collectively, “Providers”), warrant that the online services will be uninterrupted or error-free, nor do they make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the online services or as to the accuracy, reliability, or currency of any information, content, service or merchandise provided through the online services.
The online services are provided on an “As-is,” “As-available” basis and we specifically disclaim warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. No oral advice or written information given by us nor any other provider shall create a warranty.
Site Management
We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: (1) monitor the Online Services for violations of these Terms of Use; (2) take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates the law or these Terms of Use, including without limitation, reporting such user to law enforcement authorities; (3) in our sole discretion and without limitation, refuse, restrict access to, limit the availability of, or disable (to the extent technologically feasible) any of your Contributions or any portion thereof; (4) in our sole discretion and without limitation, notice, or liability, to remove from the Online Services or otherwise disable all files and content that are excessive in size or are in any way burdensome to our systems; and (5) otherwise manage the Online Services in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate the proper functioning of the Online Services.
Limitation of liability
Under no circumstances shall we or any other party involved in creating, producing or distributing the online services be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages for loss of profits, good will, use, data or other intangible losses (even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages) that result from (I) the use of or inability to use the online services, (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the online services; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (iv) statements or conduct of any third party on the online services; or (v) any other matter relating to the online services. You hereby acknowledge that this paragraph shall apply to all content, merchandise, and services available through the online services. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You agree to indemnify and hold us, and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders or other partners and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of User Content you transmit through the Online Services, your use of the Online Services, your connection to the Online Services, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of others’ rights.
General information
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us (you and us) and governs the use of the Online Services. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision and the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Online Services or the Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

If you believe that your work has been copied and is accessible on the Online Services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify us by sending the following information to us pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) at Sawgrass@EvergladesTours.com
These items are required by the DMCA. If your notice fails to comply with all of the requirements, your DMCA notice may not be valid. Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.
