If you accept or agree to be bound by these Terms of Use on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms of Use, and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Platform and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and CPL. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you have no right to obtain information from or otherwise continue using the Platform and must cease your use of the Platform immediately.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THE PLATFORM, YOU DO SO AT YOUR SOLE RISK. CPL PROVIDES THE PLATFORM AND ALL ASSOCIATED INFORMATION AND SERVICES ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED OR HARMED BY CPL, THE PLATFORM, OR ANYTHING RELATED TO CPL OR THE PLATFORM, YOU MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM BY CEASING YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND SUCH TERMINATION SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

 

CPL MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS.

 

CPL DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR IDENTITY THEFT OR ANY OTHER MISUSE OF YOUR IDENTITY OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION BY OTHERS. CPL DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES WILL FUNCTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERRORS IN FUNCTIONING.

CPL EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY AND ALL USERS.

 

B. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CPL, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS EMPLOYEES, OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR USE; DAMAGE TO ANY USER’S COMPUTER, MOBILE DEVICE, OR OTHER EQUIPMENT OR TECHNOLOGY; DAMAGE FROM ANY SECURITY BREACH OR FROM ANY VIRUS, BUGS, TAMPERING, FRAUD, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT; DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION; COMPUTER LINE OR NETWORK FAILURE; OR ANY OTHER TECHNICAL OR OTHER MALFUNCTION DATA; OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH these terms of use, FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS, OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE PLATFORM OR OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT CPL HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

IN NO EVENT WILL CPL’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, AND YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM OR INTERACTIONS WITH ANY OTHER USERS, EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100.00). THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN CPL AND YOU, AND YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CPL WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THESE TERMS OF USE IF THIS PROVISION WAS NOT INCLUDED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

 

 

V. MISCELLANEOUS.

A. Severability.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

B. Entire Agreement.

You agree that these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference, constitute the entire, complete, and exclusive agreement between you and CPL regarding the Platform and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, or whether established by custom, practice, policy, or precedent, with respect to the subject matter of these Terms of Use.

 

C. Law and Forum for Legal Disputes.

These Terms of Use or any claim, cause of action, or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms of Use and/or your use of the Platform shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York regardless of your country of origin or where you access CPL, and notwithstanding of any conflicts of law principles. You and CPL agree that all claims arising out of or related to these Terms of Use must be resolved exclusively in courts of the State of New York, County of Erie, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. Notwithstanding the above, you agree that CPL shall be permitted to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

 

D. Arbitration.

For any dispute you have with CPL, you agree to first contact CPL and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. If CPL has not been able to resolve the dispute with you informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms of Use by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect for the AAA, except for disputes relating to (i) CPL’s Content and/or intellectual property rights or (ii) violations of the provisions of the Rules of Use set forth above in Section II(A). Unless you and CPL agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the State of New York, County of Erie, and each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO the Agreement formed by these terms of use, YOU AND CPL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

 

E. Time Limitation on Claims.

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with CPL must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

 

F. Modification.

CPL reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the Platform or these Terms of Use at any time and without prior notice. If we modify these Terms of Use, we will post the modification on the Platform or provide you with notice of the modification. We will also update the “Last updated” date at the top of these Terms of Use. By continuing to access or use the Platform after we have posted a modification on the Platform or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms of Use. If the modified Terms of Use are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Platform.

 

G. No Informal Waivers, Agreements, or Representations.

Our failure to act with respect to a breach of these Terms of Use by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to that breach or subsequent similar or other breaches. Except as expressly and specifically contemplated by these Terms of Use, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by CPL shall be deemed legally binding unless documented in a physical writing that is hand signed by a duly appointed officer of CPL.

 

H. No Injunctive Relief.

In no event shall you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive, or other equitable relief, or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Platform, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith, or exploitation of the Platform or any content or other material used or displayed through the Platform.

 

I. Assignment and Delegation.

You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under these Terms of Use. Any purported assignment and delegation shall be ineffective. We may freely assign or delegate all rights and obligations under these Terms of Use, fully or partially, without notice to you.
