Disclaimers and Limitations
We do not provide, and the Services are not intended to provide, legal, accounting, tax, broker, financial, planning, credit counseling, or student aid or counseling advice or services. The Services are provided on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis without any warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, IonTuition disclaims all warranties, including the warranty of merchantability, non-infringement or third party rights, and the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. IonTuition makes no warranties about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, intent, usefulness, or timeliness of the material, content, services and links. In no event will IonTuition, its affiliates, agents, suppliers, partners and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents (in each case, a “Released Party”) be liable for any damages whatsoever (including without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive and exemplary damages, lost revenues, or damages resulting from lost data, inconvenience or business interruption) resulting from the use or inability to use the Website or Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not such Released Party is advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will any Released Party be liable to You or anyone else for any decision made or action taken by You or anyone else in reliance on this Website or the Services or the information contained herein. In no event will the aggregate liability to You for all claims directly or indirectly arising from the use of the Website or the Services exceed one dollar ($1.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to You. Each party recognizes and agrees that the warranty disclaimers and liability and remedy limitations in this agreement are material bargained for bases of this agreement and that they have been taken into account and reflected in determining the consideration to be given by each party under this agreement and in the decision by each party to enter into this agreement.
Indemnity and Release
As a material inducement to provide You with the Services, You hereby indemnify, defend and hold each Released Party harmless from and against any and all demands, damages, liability, claims, actions, demands and costs incurred by such Released Party in connection with any claim arising out of any breach by You of this Agreement, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. If You have a dispute involving the Services with a third party, You release each Released Party from all claims, demands, damages, liability, claims, actions, demands and costs of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code §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.”
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Jurisdiction for any claims arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively with the state or federal courts in Cook County, Illinois where IonTuition has its principal place of business. If You access the Website or the Services from outside of the United States, You do so at Your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of Your jurisdiction.
