THIS AGREEMENT GOVERNS YOUR USE OF THE SITES (AS DEFINED BELOW). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT GRANTED PERMISSION TO ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE SITES.
This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement"), states the terms and conditions under which you may use the website and any services offered on such website or webpages owned and operated by Broadleaf, which may include the internet domain www.broadleafcommerce.com and its sub-sites (the "Sites"), all data, text, graphics, news, reports, and other materials as well as third party content available through the Sites (collectively, the "Content") and all services available through the Sites (the "Services"). Please read this Agreement carefully. By using the Sites you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be legally bound by this Agreement. The Services and Content offered on the Sites may be subject to additional terms and conditions described on such Sites for those Services or information, and additional licensing terms may apply for software that are disclosed in an End User License Agreement on the Sites or distributed with such software.
Broadleaf Commerce, LLC, its affiliates, subsidiaries and successors or assigns (collectively "Broadleaf", or "We or we") reserves the right to update or modify this Agreement at any time and from time to time. When we make changes to this Agreement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this Agreement. We encourage you to periodically review this Agreement. Your continued use of the Sites after any changes or revisions to this Agreement, regardless of whether you have reviewed the updated version, shall indicate your agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. You acknowledge that Broadleaf shall have the right to terminate your access to the Sites or Service for any violations of this Agreement or at its convenience.
The Sites are made available for your personal, non-commercial use only. Except as provided by specific terms governing a specific Service, product, or information, you may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, transform, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any of the information, software, products, or Services obtained from the Sites. No information, Content, Services, software or any other elements on the Sites may be used to compete with Broadleaf. Any attempted or confirmed activity in contrary to this Agreement will be a material breach hereof.
You may be required to register with Broadleaf in order to access certain areas of the Site. In the course of registration, you must: (i) provide true, accurate, current and complete information on the registration form and (ii) maintain and promptly update such registration information as necessary.
If, after investigation, we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate that user's account and prohibit any and all current or future use of the Sites (or any portion thereof) by that user. You may not use a user name (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else; that would violate any prohibitions herein; or that Broadleaf rejects for any other reason in its sole discretion. Your user name and password are for your personal use only, and not for use by any other person. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password you may use to access the Site, and agree not to lend or transfer your password or user name, or lend or otherwise transfer your use of or access to the Site, to any third party. You are fully responsible for all interactions with the Sites that occur in connection with your password or user name. You agree to notify Broadleaf immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or user name or any other breach of security related to your account or the Site, and to ensure that you "log off"/exit from your account with the Site (if applicable) at the end of each session. Broadleaf is not liable for any loss or damage arising from a user's failure to comply with this Section, including any loss or damage arising from any user's failure to immediately notify Broadleaf of any unauthorized use of his or her password or account or any other breach of security and ensure that he or she "logs off"/exits from his or her account at the end of each session.
You agree that you will not use the Sites or the information, products, or Services available from them for, or to further, any unlawful purpose. Additionally, you will NOT: (A) upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available any content that: (i) is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable or harmful to another party; (ii) you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements); (iii) infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property right of another party; (iv) is unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," website links, or any other form of content for the purpose of solicitation; (v) contains software viruses or any other computer code, files, or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; (vi) consists of forged or manipulated information that disguises the true origin of any content you provide; or (vii) impersonates another person or entity, including, but not limited to, a Broadleaf employee, forum leader, guide or host, or falsely states or otherwise misrepresents Your affiliation with a person or entity; (B) collect or store personal data about other users in connection with any prohibited conduct and activities; (C) use the Sites in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair any server, or network(s) connections; disobey any requirements, procedures, policies, or regulations of networks connected to the Sites; or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of the Sites; (D) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any Site content, other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to any server through hacking, password mining, scraping, or by any other means to obtain any materials or information not intentionally made available on the Sites; (E) intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law, including, but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any rules of any national or other securities exchange, including, without limitation, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or the NASDAQ, and any regulations having the force of law; (F) provide material support or resources (or conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, or ownership of material support or resources) to any organization(s) designated by the United States government as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act; or (G) use automated queries (including screen and database scraping, spiders, robots, crawlers and any other automated activity with the purpose of obtaining information from the Services) as they are strictly prohibited on the Services, unless you have received express written permission from Broadleaf.

Search Engines are not permitted to query or search information protected by a security verification system ("captcha") which limits access to human users.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SITES, THE CONTENT, AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. NONE OF BROADLEAF, ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES OR ITS OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY THE "BROADLEAF PARTIES") GUARANTEES THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, SUITABILITY OR USEFULNESS OF ANY PORTION OF THE SITES, THE CONTENT, OR THE SERVICES. NONE OF THE BROADLEAF PARTIES WARRANT THAT THE SITES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR THAT THE SITES, ITS SERVER OR ANY FILES AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOADING THROUGH THE SITES ARE FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL ELEMENTS.

NONE OF THE BROADLEAF PARTIES MAKE ANY, AND HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL, REPRESENTATIONS, ENDORSEMENTS, GUARANTEES, AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SITES, THE CONTENT, AND THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITES IS TO STOP USING THE SITES. Additionally, Broadleaf makes no claim that any of the Content or software available from the Sites can be lawfully viewed or downloaded outside of the United States.

If you access a/the Site(s) from outside of the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction. Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.

BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER DAMAGES, IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS BROADLEAF'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Broadleaf Parties from any and all claims (including without limitation any proceeding, investigation or claim by a self-regulatory organization, state or federal securities agency or commission), demands, damages, costs and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with: (i) any of your Content, including an assertion that the information, content, or other materials or services provided or made available by you or the use thereof, may infringe any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of any individual or entity, or misappropriate any individual or entity's trade secret, or contain any libelous, defamatory, disparaging, pornographic, or obscene materials; (ii) any breach by you of your obligations under this Agreement; (iii) your unlawful and/or unauthorized use of, or activities in connection with this Site.

You may not assign this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing. Neither the course of conduct between parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement.
