DISCLAIMERS & LIABILITY LIMITATIONS

​

THIS SECTION IS IMPORTANT. YOU SHOULD READ IT.

​

THE SERVICES ARE OFFERED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, AND LIMITATIONS. 

​

We do not provide any express warranties or representations and disclaim any and all imputed warranties and representations, including without limitation all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy of data, and non-infringement. We disclaim all liability for identity theft and other misuse of your identity or other content. We do not make any guarantees regarding the operation of the Services, portions or all of which may be unavailable at times or terminated permanently. We do not control or vet content submitted by the users of our Services.

​

Additionally, the bulk of the content on our Services is pulled from public databases, which we did not create, and we do not control. Accordingly, we do not make any representations or warranties with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the content on our Services.

​

Except as expressly provided in another contract between you and us, your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Services is to terminate your user account(s) and/or your use of the Services. Neither us nor any of our parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, or the owners, members, directors, officers, employees, contractors, or agents of any of the same (“Affiliates”) shall be cumulatively liable for any special, incidental, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or loss of use, profit, revenue or data to you or any third person arising from your use of the Services or any of the content or other materials on, accessed through, or downloaded through, the Services. Subject to the other limitations in the policies, our liability, if any, as well as the liability of any of our Affiliates, if any, shall be limited to a refund of the subscription fee for the current subscription term. Further, any cause of action or claim which you may have which arises out of or relates to these Terms or our Privacy Policy or your use of the Services, must be brought, if at all, within one-year after the cause of action accrued, otherwise, such cause of action or claim shall be permanently barred. This limitation of liability shall apply regardless of whether you base your claim on contract, tort, statute or any other legal theory; we knew or should have known about the possibility of such damages; or the limited remedies provided in this section fail of their essential purpose. 

​

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you shall save, indemnify, and hold us and our Affiliates harmless for all damages, losses and costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) related to all third party claims, charges, and investigations, caused by your failure to comply with these Terms, including without limitation, your submission of content that violates third party rights or applicable laws, any applications or programs which you create which use any of our Services, and any activity in which you engage on or through the Services. 

​

Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations, may not apply to you and you may have additional rights.

​

ARBITRATION

​

If a dispute arises between you and us related to your use of the Services, these Terms, or our Privacy Policy, then the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court (arbitration does not involve a judge or jury and court review of arbitration awards is limited) and shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). To initiate an arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent on file with the Missouri Secretary of State. The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Jackson County, Missouri, USA. If this agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to your claim, then both you and we agree that any judicial proceedings will be brought in accordance with the governing law and jurisdiction/venue provisions below.

​

Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate above, either you or we may assert a claim seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secrets, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration.

​

CLASS ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED:

​

All claims, including without limitation all arbitration claims, must be brought on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations, are not allowed.
