  4. Intended Audience, Purpose, and Obligations
    The Sites is offered by CheckRare for educational and informational purposes only. You must be at least 18 years of age to access or use the Sites. By using the Sites, you are affirming that you are 18 years of age and are fully able and competent to enter into, abide by and comply with the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with any and all laws, rules, regulations, and tax obligations that may apply to your use of the Sites. You represent and warrant that: (a) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of any and all materials that you make available through the Sites, or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to CheckRare the rights in such materials; and (b) you are not infringing, misappropriating or violating a third party’s intellectual property rights; and/or (c) you will not use the Sites in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
  5. Local Laws and Dispute Resolution
    The Sites (excluding any linked Web site) is controlled by CheckRare from its offices within the State of New York, United States. By accessing the Sites, you agree that all matters arising from or relating to the use of the Sites, these Terms, the Privacy Policy or any other linked website, shall be governed by the laws (both substantive and procedural) of the State of New York and the laws of the United States of America, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles. You also agree, and by using the Sites hereby submit, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of New York relating to any dispute related to obtaining injunctive relief or enforcing arbitration awards arising out of your use of the Sites.

You agree and acknowledge that your use of the Sites, and all transactions occurring in connection with the Sites, shall be deemed to have occurred and taken place solely in the State of New York, United States of America. Your use of the Sites is void where prohibited by laws in jurisdictions to which you are otherwise subject, and you agree that you shall not visit or use the Sites in any such circumstances. Those who choose to access these sites from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

If you have any concern or dispute regarding the Sites, these Terms, or the Privacy Policy (“Claim”), you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith by contacting us and providing a written Notice of Claim to the address provided here (Contacting CheckRare). The Notice of Claim must provide CheckRare with fair notice of your identity, a description of the nature and basis of your Claim, and the relief you are seeking, including the specific amount of any monetary relief you are seeking, and cannot be combined with a Notice of Claim for other individuals. If any dispute related to your Claim is not resolved within 45 days of CheckRare’s receipt of the Notice of Claim, any resulting legal actions must be resolved through final and binding arbitration administered by a single neutral arbitrator located in New York to be agreed between the parties (such as a retired state court or federal judge) and conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Neither party shall initiate legal action until 45 days after the Notice of Claim is received by CheckRare. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of the Terms or formation of the Terms, including whether any dispute between us is subject to arbitration (i.e., the arbitrator will decide the arbitrability of any dispute) and whether all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, but any witness whose native language is not English may give testimony in the witness’s native language, with simultaneous translation into English (at the expense of the party presenting the witness). Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction over you and us. However, if a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is the only appropriate and adequate remedy for a breach of these Terms, such action may proceed without first resorting to arbitration. Any such claims arising from or relating to the use of the Sites, these Terms or the Privacy Policy will be heard and resolved in the federal and state courts located in New York. In the event of a conflict between the rules of the arbitration provider and the Terms, including with respect to the assessment of the fees and costs of arbitration, the Terms will govern.

  1. Statute of Limitations
    You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Claim arising out of or related to use of the Sites, the Terms, or the Privacy Policy is permanently barred if not brought within one year of the event resulting in the Claim.
  2. No Class Actions
    You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Nonetheless, if any portion of this class action waiver is deemed unenforceable or invalid as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.
  3. Restrictions on Content and Site
    You agree that you will not, nor will you permit any third party to do any of the following while accessing or using the Site: (a) use the Sites for any purposes not expressly provided for in these Terms; (b) scan, probe, or test the vulnerability of any system or network or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measures; (c) interfere with, disrupt, or damage the Sites or access of any user, host, or network, including without limitation, sending a virus; cancel bots; Trojan horses; overloading, flooding, spamming, mail-bombing the Sites, or by scripting the creation of content in such a manner as to interfere with or create an undue burden on the Site; or similar methods or technology; (d) use our communication tools to send spam; and (e) engage in conduct that is illegal in any way.
  4. Limitations of Liability
    CheckRare expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty, including but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment or non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. CheckRare does not warrant that (a) the Sites will be error-free, uninterrupted or secure, (b) defects will be corrected, (c) your use of the Sites will meet your requirements, or (d) any content or information on the Sites is correct, reliable, current or complete.

CheckRare also expressly disclaims any liability for any damage to or viruses that may infect your computer equipment or other property as you access or browse the Sites or download material from the Sites.

CheckRare will not be liable for failures caused by events beyond reasonable control (e.g., natural diseases, internet outages, etc).

Under no circumstances shall CheckRare, its subsidiaries, affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages whether in an action in contract or tort (including negligence and strict liability) resulting from its performance or any failure to perform under the terms even if CheckRare has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Under no circumstances shall CheckRare be liable for any damages, loss, or expense of any kind arising out of or resulting from your use of the sites, in whole or in part, regardless of whether such liability is based in tort, contract, or otherwise. in no event, including without limitation a negligent act, shall CheckRare be liable to you for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages (including without limitation, loss of profits, loss or corruption of data, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or interruption of business), arising out of or in any way related to the sites, regardless of whether any CheckRare party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or damages so the above disclaimer may not apply to the extent such jurisdiction’s law applies to these terms.

  1. Indemnification
    You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold CheckRare, its subsidiaries, its affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, suppliers, licensors and agents (and its and their successors, officers, directors and employees) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, liabilities, judgments, losses, expenses and damages (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Sites or (b) a violation of these Terms.
  2. Release
    By using any of the Sites you acknowledge and agree that you release and forever discharge CheckRare, its subsidiaries, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, suppliers, licensors, and agents (and its and their successors, officers, directors and employees) from any and all claims, complainants, demands, causes of action, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, legal fees, costs, and disbursements of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown that arise out of or are in any way related to your use of this Sites. If you are a California resident, you waive California Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
  3. Digital Millennium Copyright Act Compliance
    CheckRare respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of this Sites to do so as well. In accordance with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) applicable to Internet service providers (17 U.S.C. Section 512), CheckRare has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users, members, subscribers, or account holders who are deemed to be repeat infringers. If you believe that your work has been copied and has been posted to this Sites in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide CheckRare’s copyright agent the following written information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (ii) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed upon; (iii) a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Site; (iv) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address; (v) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf. CheckRare reserves the right to remove any content posted to the Sites at our sole discretion. Please contact our copyright agent to provide us notice of alleged copyright infringement at [email protected].
  4. Miscellaneous
    If CheckRare, in its sole discretion, determines that a violation of the Terms has occurred, CheckRare may pursue any of its legal remedies. However, the failure of CheckRare to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of the Terms is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms are personal to you and you may not assign these Terms, or your rights or obligations hereunder, to any third party, without our consent. Any attempted assignment without such consent is void. Any provision of these Terms (including all other incorporated terms) that is intended by its terms to survive termination will survive. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, these Terms sets forth the entire agreement between you and CheckRare regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all prior promises, agreements or representations, whether written or oral as it relates to the Sites.
