The Company is under no obligation to post, forward, transmit, distribute, or otherwise provide any material available on the Sites, including material you provide to us, and we have an absolute right to remove any material from the Sites in our sole discretion at any time.

DISCLAIMERS: YOUR USE OF THE SITES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SITES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RESTRICT OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE SITES OR ANY FEATURE OR PART THEREOF AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCESS OR USE WILL NOT WAIVE OR AFFECT ANY OTHER RIGHT OR RELIEF TO WHICH THE COMPANY MAY BE ENTITLED AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MATERIALS ON THE SITES ARE NONINFRINGING, AS WELL AS WARRANTIES IMPLIED FROM A COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR COURSE OF DEALING; THAT ACCESS TO THE SITES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; THAT THE SITES WILL BE SECURE; THAT THE SITES OR THE SERVER THAT MAKES THE SITES AVAILABLE WILL BE VIRUS-FREE; OR THAT INFORMATION ON THE SITES WILL BE COMPLETE, ACCURATE OR TIMELY. IF YOU DOWNLOAD ANY MATERIALS FROM THE SITES, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK. YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY SUCH MATERIALS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE COMPANY OR THROUGH OR FROM THE SITES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF THE MATERIALS ON THE SITES IN TERMS OF THEIR COMPLETENESS, CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, ADEQUACY, USEFULNESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, THE LAW MAY NOT PERMIT THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THE SITES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY INFORMATION YOU SEND OR RECEIVE DURING YOUR USE OF THE SITES MAY NOT BE SECURE AND MAY BE INTERCEPTED BY UNAUTHORIZED PARTIES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT THE SITES ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU AT NO CHARGE. RECOGNIZING SUCH, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ITS SUPPLIERS OR THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE SITES, OR ANY OTHER SITES YOU ACCESS THROUGH A LINK FROM THE SITES OR FROM ANY ACTIONS WE TAKE OR FAIL TO TAKE AS A RESULT OF COMMUNICATIONS YOU SEND TO US, OR THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITES, OR FOR ANY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES ADVERTISED ON OR OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITES, THE COMPANY’S REMOVAL OR DELETION OF ANY MATERIALS SUBMITTED OR POSTED ON ITS SITES, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE SITES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY ARISING FROM ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DELETION, DEFECTS, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUSES, FILE CORRUPTION, COMMUNICATION-LINE FAILURE, NETWORK OR SYSTEM OUTAGE, YOUR LOSS OF PROFITS, OR THEFT, DESTRUCTION, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, ALTERATION OF, LOSS OR USE OF ANY RECORD OR DATA, AND ANY OTHER TANGIBLE OR INTANGIBLE LOSS.

YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE CLAIMS OR ANY DISPUTE WITH THE COMPANY IS TO DISCONTINUE YOUR USE OF THE SITES. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ALL OR A PORTION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Representations and Warranties: You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or otherwise control all the rights to the Content you post and the Content is original to you; (b) the Content is accurate; (c) use of the Content you supply does not violate any provision herein and will not cause injury to any person or entity; (d) the Content is not defamatory and does not infringe upon the rights of any other party; (e) the Company’s use of the Content as provided for herein will not violate or infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party; and (f) you have full authority to enter into and accept these Terms of Use and grant the rights and licenses herein.

Indemnification: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, insurers, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, and suppliers from and against all losses, liabilities, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising or resulting from your use of the Sites, your provision of any Content to the Sites, and any violation of these Terms of Use. If you cause a technical disruption of the Sites or the systems transmitting the Sites to you or others, you agree to be responsible for all losses, liabilities, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising or resulting from that disruption. The Company reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and, in such case, you agree to cooperate with the Company in the defense of such matter.

Disputes: You agree that by doing business with the Company or otherwise participating in the Company’s programs, you and the Company are each waiving the right to trial by jury and the ability to participate in a class action.

All disputes the Company or you has relating in any way to any program or your relationship with the Company (including, without limitation, your transactions with the Company, the Company’s advertisements and disclosures, email and mobile SMS (text) messages the Company sends to you, or the use or disclosure of any information about you), privacy policies, or terms of use will be submitted to confidential arbitration in the federal judicial district in which you reside, except to the extent that you have, in any way, violated or threatened to violate any Company intellectual property right. Disputes include claims based on contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, your or the Company’s negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions, or claims from any other source of law.

To invoke arbitration, you must first send to the Company, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company must be mailed to 369 N. New York Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789 Attn: Legal Department. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or disputes and the specific relief sought. If you and we cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence arbitration.

All arbitrations required by these Terms of Use will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures of JAMS. If there is a conflict between the JAMS rules and these Terms of Use, the Terms of Use will govern. The arbitration will be held in location chosen by the Company unless you and the Company agree to another location or to conduct the arbitration by telephone. The arbitrator’s award will be binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration brought under, or with respect to, any claim is to be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms of Use, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. Unless the Company and you agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, private attorney general, or class proceeding.

For arbitration claims you assert against the Company in accordance with this section (but not for any arbitration claim against you), the Company will pay all of your administrative, hearing, and arbitrator’s fees and costs for the arbitration (but not the fees, expenses, and costs of your lawyers, experts, or witnesses) in excess of any filing fee you would have been required to pay to file the claim as a lawsuit in a state or federal court (whichever is greater) in the judicial district in which you reside. Unless unlawful, the Company will pay its, and you will pay your, lawyers’, experts’, and witness fees, expenses, and costs with respect to all claims. The arbitrator may award money or equitable relief in favor of only the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Similarly, an arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to that specific case; it cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself. To reduce the time and expense of the arbitration, the arbitrator will not provide a statement of reasons for his or her award unless requested to do so by all parties.

To the extent permitted by law, you will not agree to act as a representative or a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity, or participate as a member of a class of claimants in any lawsuit against the Company in any court, or in arbitration, with respect to any claim. This section will survive the termination of the relationship between you and the Company.

The Company or you may seek injunctive relief only in any state or federal court in Orange County, Florida, and the Company and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts in Orange County, Florida for injunctive relief purposes. The arbitrator will have no authority to issue injunctive relief. Any claim brought under or concerning these Terms of Use must be brought within two years after the date the claim arises, or the claim will be barred.

Applicable Law: The laws of the State of Florida govern these Terms of Use and your use of the Sites. We recognize that it is possible for you to obtain access to the Sites from any jurisdiction in the world, but we have no practical ability to prevent such access. The Sites have been designed to comply with the laws of the State of Florida and of the United States. If any material on the Sites, or your use of the Sites, is contrary to the laws of the place where you are when you access the Sites, the Sites are not intended for you, and we ask you not to use the Sites. You are responsible for informing yourself of the laws of your jurisdiction and complying with them.

Consumer Protection Notice: If you are deemed to be a “consumer” as that term is used in N.J. Stat. § 56:12-15, the section labeled “Disputes” does not limit or waive your rights under New Jersey law, and the provisions in these Terms of Use are not intended to limit the rights of New Jersey residents under New Jersey law.

Changes to These Terms of Use: The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to change, modify, add, or remove any portion of these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, at any time, by posting revised terms on the relevant Sites. It is your responsibility to check periodically for any changes we make to the Terms of Use. Revised terms will take effect five days after their publication on the relevant Sites and will apply only on a going-forward basis. Your continued use of a Site after that point signifies that you accept the changes.

Entire Agreement and Admissibility: These Terms of Use and any policies or operating rules posted on the Sites constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. A printed version of these Terms of Use will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based on or relating to use of the Sites to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The Company offers a wide range of goods and services, and sometimes additional terms may apply. When you purchase a product or service from the Company, you also will be subject to the guidelines, terms, and agreements applicable to that product or service (“Service Terms”). If these Terms of Use are inconsistent with the Service Terms, those Service Terms will control.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms of Use is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or body of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in place.

General: These Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy comprise the entire agreement between you and the Company and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, or agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein. All notices, requests, or other communications must be in writing and sent via email or US pre-paid post to the authorized representative of the other party. No joint venture, partnership, employment, agency, or exclusive relationship will exist between you and the Company. Any failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such rights. All indemnities, licenses, disclaimers, limitations, and restrictions of warranty will survive termination of these Terms, as well as the provisions of this “General” section.

  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law;

  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities;
  • Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.);

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

If you are a California resident and you wish to exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by calling us at 888-788-7526 or by emailing [email protected]. Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State whom you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You also may make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability only twice within a 12-month period. A verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. We will use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request only to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will cover only the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically by electronic mail communication.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services;
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services;
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties; or
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
