Legal Notice Concerning the Web Site
The Slo-Pitch Ontario Association. ("SPO") maintains this site
(the "Site") for your personal entertainment, information, education, and
communication. Please feel free to browse the Site. However, your access and use
of the Site is subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Legal
Notice (the "Terms and Conditions") and all applicable laws. By accessing and
browsing the Site, you expressly accept and agree to be bound by the Terms and
Conditions, without limitation, qualification, or exception, notwithstanding any
inconsistent provision in any other agreement to which you are a party.
Terms and Conditions
- All of the content on the Site, including without limitation the data, text,
materials, images, logos, audio, video, bulletin boards, chat rooms, listservs,
and communications received (all of the foregoing, the "Content") is owned by or
licensed to SPO and is subject to legal protection under federal
copyright, trademark, and other laws, except for any third party proprietary
information or as otherwise noted. Any unauthorized use of the Content may
violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity,
communications regulations and statutes, personal property rights, and other
federal laws. You may download materials displayed on the Site for
non-commercial, personal use only, provided you also retain all copyright and
other proprietary notices contained on such materials. You may not download,
copy, distribute, modify, transmit, display, reuse, report, sell, profit by, or
use any of the Content in any manner inconsistent with these Terms and
Conditions.
- While SPO makes reasonable efforts to include only accurate and up-to-date
content on the Site, SPO makes no warranties or representations as to the
accuracy or completeness of any of the Content. SPO assumes no liability or
responsibility for any inaccuracies, technical or typographical errors, or
omissions in the Content, and you expressly accept and assume all such risks and
agree to hold SPO harmless for any damages, liabilities, and other loss directly
or indirectly related to such risks.
- You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Site is entirely at your own
risk. In no event shall SPO or any other party involved in creating, producing,
maintaining, or delivering the Site be liable in any manner for any actual,
direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive, or any other damages
(including without limitation loss of use, data, or profits), nor for any other
remedies or liabilities, in any manner arising out of or in connection with your
use of the Site. Without limiting the foregoing, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT
THEREON ARE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS" AND SPO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND WITH REGARD TO THE SITE, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. You expressly accept and
assume all risks associated with all of the foregoing and agree to hold SPO
harmless for any damages, liabilities, and other loss directly or indirectly
related to such risks. Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow all of
the above exclusions of implied warranties, so certain of the foregoing
exclusions may not apply to you (although you agree to be bound by such
exclusions to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law). SPO also assumes
no responsibility and shall not be liable for any damages or loss due to
computer viruses or similar hazards that may infect your computer equipment or
other property in connection with your use of the Site or any Content. You
expressly accept and assume all such risks and agree to hold SPO harmless for
any damages, liabilities, and other loss directly or indirectly related to such
risks.
- Any communication or material you transmit or communicate to the Site
by electronic mail, posting or
otherwise, including any data, questions, comments, criticisms, suggestions, and
the like (each transmission or communication, a "Message"), is and will be
treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. Any Message may be used in any
manner by SPO, its affiliates, and/or any third party, for any purpose
whatsoever, including without limitation reproduction, storage, disclosure,
transmission, publication, broadcast, sale, and posting. You expressly waive any
and all privacy and ownership rights to any Message, and you expressly release
and authorize SPO to publish or use in any manner your Message and any
identifying information provided therewith. You also acknowledge and agree that
any message is subject to loss, misdirection, misinterpretation, and accidental
deletion, and therefore (regardless of whether a particular Message is actually
received) no such Message shall constitute notice to SPO for any purpose, and
SPO has no obligation, express or implied, to maintain any Message. Furthermore,
you authorize SPO to use in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever any ideas,
concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any Message, including without
limitation developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using or relying on
such information. You expressly waive and irrevocably assign to SPO any and all
rights and interests you may have to payment, royalty, commission, compensation,
or any other benefit of any kind which may otherwise accrue to you as a direct
or indirect result of any income, revenue, or other benefit to SPO in any manner
arising out of or related to your Message.
- Except as otherwise noted, all trademarks, logos, and service marks
(collectively the "Trademarks") displayed on the Site are
registered Trademarks of SPO. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed
as granting to any party, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or
right to use any Trademark displayed on the Site. As with your use of other
Content, your use of the Trademarks displayed on the Site, except as provided in
these Terms and Conditions, is strictly prohibited. SPO will aggressively
enforce its intellectual property and other rights to the fullest extent of the
law, and SPO will assist law enforcement personnel in the investigation and
prosecution of criminal offenses.
- Links on the Site to other sites are provided as a convenience and do not
imply endorsement by SPO of any other site. SPO is not responsible for the
contents of any other site linked to this Site, or for any consequential or
other damages, liabilities, or loss suffered by any party as a result of linking
between the Site and any other site. You expressly accept and assume all such
risks and agree to hold SPO harmless for any loss directly or indirectly related
to such risks.
- SPO may at any time revise these Terms and Conditions by updating this
posting. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically
visit this page to review the current Terms and Conditions to which you are
bound. Please report any technical, typographical, or other errors herein to
SPO. Please direct requests to reproduce protected Site content to SPO. You
agree that the interpretation and enforcement of this Legal Notice and these
Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario
without regard for its principles of conflicts of laws. You agree that you do
not have any expectation or understanding of your relationship with SPO or your
use of the Site or the Content which is inconsistent with the provisions of the
Legal Notice or these Terms and Conditions. In the event that any provision of
this Legal Notice or these Terms and Conditions, or the application thereof to
any part or circumstance, shall be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this
Legal Notice or these Terms and Conditions, or the application of such provision
to circumstances other than those as to which it is determined invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law. You agree that, in the event you violate
any of the provisions of the Legal Notice or these Terms and Conditions, SPO may
seek specific performance in addition to any other available legal or equitable
relief, and that all remedies and relief provided for herein and at law shall be
cumulative.
- All information the SPO provides on the Site or by any other means is for
informational and directional purposes only; it does not address specific
circumstances of any particular entity; it is not necessarily complete, accurate
or current; it does not constitute professional or legal advice (a company
should seek opinions of qualified professionals). Hence, the SPO disclaims its
responsibility for any loss, however arising, from the use of or reliance on
this information.
SPO may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Site at any time,
including the availability of any site feature, database, or content. SPO may
also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to
parts or the entire Site without notice or liability at any time in the SPO's
sole and exclusive discretion, without prejudice to any legal or equitable
remedies available to SPO, for any reason or purpose, including but not limited
to, conduct the SPO believes violates these Terms and Conditions or other
policies or guidelines posted on the Site or conduct which SPO believes is
harmful to other customers, to SPO's business, or to other information
providers. Upon any termination of this agreement, you will discontinue your use
and access of the Site and destroy all materials obtained from it.
