2. Additional Terms

Our Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect when you and others use this Site, how we use that personal information, and some of the steps we take to protect your privacy.

3. Changes to Terms of Use

These Terms of Use and the agreement formed by these Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us. We are continually improving and adding to the features and functionality of this Site and the services we offer through this Site. As a result of these changes (or changes in the law), we may need to update or revise these Terms of Use from time to time. Accordingly, we reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time and in our sole discretion, without prior notice, by posting the revised version of these Terms of Use to the link marked “Terms of Use” at the bottom of each page of this Site. Any modifications will be effective 24 hours after posting through the Site or delivery of such other notice. You must cease using the Site or terminate these Terms of Use at any time if you do not agree to any changes. However, your continued use of this Site after we have posted the revised Terms of Use constitutes your agreement to be bound by the revised Terms of Use.

Whenever we do change these Terms of Use, we will also change the “effective date” at the end of these Terms of Use. If you have not visited this Site in the last sixty days, be sure to check the effective date to see if these Terms of Use have been revised since your last visit.

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THIS SITE, ANY CONTENT ON THIS SITE, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROMOTED THROUGH THIS SITE. THIS SITE AND ALL OF ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT THAT THE SITE WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, FREE FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, THAT THE SITE AND ITS SERVER ARE FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL MECHANISM, OR OTHERWISE MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE CONTENT, THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE CONTENT, OR THAT COMMUNICATIONS SENT FROM US ARE FREE OF MALWARE OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Without limiting the foregoing, certain products promoted through this Site may be covered by a product warranty, and the limitations and disclaimers set forth herein will not limit or restrict any manufacturers’ warranty applicable to the products promoted through this Site.

Nothing in these Terms of Use will affect any statutory rights to which you may be entitled as a consumer to the extent your ability to alter or waive such rights by contract is limited by applicable law. Specifically, you acknowledge that you may have or may in the future have claims against us which you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor when you agreed to these Terms of Use and which if known, might materially affect your consent to these Terms of Use. You expressly waive all rights you may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASING PARTY.”

IF THIS CLAUSE IS HELD TO BE UNENFORCEABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN ANY JURISDICTION DUE TO RELEVANT LAWS, THEN IN NO EVENT WILL OUR OR THE RELEASED PARTIES’ (AS DEFINED BELOW) TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US OR THE RELEASED PARTIES DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. NOTHING IN THIS CLAUSE WILL LIMIT OR EXCLUDE ANY LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM NEGLIGENCE.

11. Indemnity

You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CenterPoint and its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents, contractors, assigns, users, customers, providers, licensees, and successors in interest (“Indemnified Parties”) from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fees, expenses and costs (including attorneys’ fees, court costs, damage awards, and settlement amounts) that result from any claim or allegation against any Indemnified Party arising in any manner from: (1) your access to or use of the Site; and (2) your breach of any representation, warranty, or other provision of this Agreement. CenterPoint will provide you with notice of any such claim or allegation, and CenterPoint will have the right to participate in the defence of any such claim.

12. Limitations of Liability

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL CENTERPOINT, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASED PARTIES”) BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU, FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SITE, ITS CONTENT, ANY SERVICES OR PRODUCTS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS SITE, OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THIS SITE, INCLUDING ANY PURCHASES YOU MAKE OR LOSS OR DAMAGE DUE TO VIRUSES THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, DATA OR OTHER PROPERTY ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR USE OF THIS SITE OR YOUR DOWNLOADING OF ANY CONTENT FROM THIS SITE.

THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY THAT APPLIES TO ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, GENERAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF INCOME OR LOSS OF PROFITS), WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CENTERPOINT OR ANOTHER RELEASED PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE SUCCESS OR EFFECTIVENESS OF OTHER REMEDIES.

IF ANY PART OF THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS FOUND TO BE INVALID, ILLEGAL OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES TO YOU OR ANY PERSON OR ENTITY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU FOR LIABILITIES THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIMITED WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100.00). YOU AGREE THAT WE WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THESE TERMS OF USE WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF USE WILL LIMIT OR EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES WHICH MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

13. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction and Venue

These Terms of Use and the relationship between you and us will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Illinois, excluding conflict of laws provisions that would indicate the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO, OR USE OF, THIS SITE OR THESE TERMS OF USE, WILL BE INSTITUTED ONLY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, U.S.A. YOU AND WE IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. You expressly waive any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. If the courts of the country in which you reside should determine that the provisions of this paragraph are not enforceable, then you agree to submit to binding arbitration.

14. Statute of Limitations

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 this Site or these Terms of Use must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred to the extent permitted by applicable law.

15. Age Eligibility

The Site is intended for use by users who are 18 years of age or older.

16. Term

These Terms of Use are entered into as of the date you first access or use the Site and will continue until terminated. To the extent permitted and in accordance with applicable law, we may terminate your access to the Site at any time if you violate these Terms of Use or for any reason, at our sole discretion. You may terminate these Terms of Use at any time by ceasing to access the Site and by destroying any Content that you have been permitted to download from the Site.

17. General

Words and phrases used in these Terms of Use have the definition given in these Terms of Use or, if not defined herein, have their plain English meaning as commonly interpreted in the United States. As used in these Terms of Use, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to.” Section headings are for reference purposes only.

Our failure at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms of Use or to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. All waivers must be in writing and signed in ink by the party to be bound. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Use or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under these Terms of Use.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the court will substitute for such provision a valid and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of such provision. The remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

Unless you have entered into a separate agreement with CenterPoint regarding the Site, these Terms of Use, together with any customer agreement to which you may be subject, set forth the entire understanding and agreement between us and supersede all prior understandings and agreements between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof.

The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other, or joint ventures, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. We may freely assign these Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use may be amended only as set forth above.

18. Notices

Unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Use, any notices required or allowed under these Terms of Use will be provided to CenterPoint through our web form. CenterPoint may provide you with any notices required or allowed under these Terms of Use by sending you an email to any email address you provide to CenterPoint, provided that in the case of any notice applicable both to you and other users of the Site, CenterPoint may instead provide such notice by posting it on the Site. Notices provided to CenterPoint will be deemed given when actually received by CenterPoint. Notice provided to you will be deemed given 24 hours after posting it to the Site or sending it via e-mail, unless (as to e-mail) the sending party is notified that the e-mail address is invalid, in which case CenterPoint may attempt to notify you through other contact information provided by you, or may post the relevant notice on the Site.
