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.

Copyright complaints

We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. 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 [email protected]

  • An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest (the “Complaining Party”);

  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address at which the Complaining Party may be contacted;
  • A statement that the Complaining Party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Complaining Party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

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.
