Terms of Use

These Centro Community Partners Terms of Use (this “Agreement”) apply to your consumer access and use of: (a) the Centro Community Partners website at centrocommunity.org and all affiliated websites owned and operated by Centro (collectively, the “Site”); (b) the Centro-branded applications for your mobile or other devices (collectively, the “Application”); and (c) any other services or features made available by Centro through the Site or the Application (together with the Site and the Application, the “Services”).

In this Agreement, “Centro,” “we,” and “us” mean Centro Community Partners, and “User” and “you” mean any user of the Services. This Agreement incorporates Centro’s standard policies, procedures, and terms and conditions for use of the Services that are referenced by name or by links in this Agreement (collectively, the “Centro Policies”).

By accessing, browsing, and using or clicking “accept” or “agree” to this Agreement, you: (a) acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement, and (b) represent and warrant that you are of legal age and not prohibited by law from accessing or using the Services. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, AN ARBITRATION PROVISION CONTAINING A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

We may update or revise this Agreement (including any Centro Polices) from time to time. You agree that you will review this Agreement periodically. You are free to decide whether or not to accept a modified version of this Agreement, but accepting this Agreement, as modified, is required for you to continue using the Services. You may have to click “accept” or “agree” to show your acceptance of any modified version of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement or any modified version of this Agreement, your sole recourse is to terminate your use of the Services, in which case you will no longer have access to your Centro Account (as defined below). Except as otherwise expressly stated by us, any use of the Services is subject to the version of this Agreement in effect at the time of use.

1. USE OF THE SERVICES AND CENTRO CONTENT

We do not grant you any licenses, express or implied, to the intellectual property of Centro or our licensors, except as expressly stated in this Agreement. We and our third-party licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, any Centro Content, and any associated patents, trademarks, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights.

4. USER CONTENT

The Services may permit you to submit content, send emails and other communications, and provide other information for publication or distribution to third parties (collectively, “User Content”). Any User Content must not be illegal, threatening, obscene, racist, defamatory, libelous, pornographic, infringing of intellectual property rights, promoting of illegal activity or harm to groups and/or individuals, invasive of privacy, purposely false or otherwise injurious to third parties, or objectionable and must not consist of or contain software, computer viruses, commercial solicitation, political campaigning, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of “spam.” If you submit User Content, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant Centro a nonexclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to use, modify, reproduce, adapt, translate, publish, create derivative works from, distribute, display, and otherwise exploit such User Content throughout the world in any media. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any User Content submitted by you or any other User or third party.

5. PRIVACY POLICY

Please review our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect and use information in connection with the Services.

6. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Services may contain links to websites operated by parties other than Centro. We provide such links for your reference only. We do not control such third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability or content. Our inclusion of such links does not imply Centro’s endorsement of the material on such third-party websites or any association with their operators. We assume no liability whatsoever for any such third-party websites or any content, features, products, or services made available through such third-party websites.

7. INTERNATIONAL USE

Centro controls and provides the Services from within the United States. We make no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to the Services from locations where such activity is illegal is prohibited. If you use the Services from other locations, you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.

8. INDEMNIFICATION

You will indemnify, hold harmless, and (at our request) defend Centro, its affiliates, and its and their representatives, agents, directors, managers, officers, employees, and shareholders from and against all claims resulting from (a) any User Content submitted by you, (b) your use of the Services (including any Centro Content), or (c) any breach or alleged breach by you of this Agreement.

9. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

THE SERVICES, ALL CENTRO CONTENT, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS CONTAINED IN OR ACCESSED THROUGH THE SERVICES, ARE PROVIDED TO YOU STRICTLY ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. CENTRO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT CENTRO WILL REVIEW THE INFORMATION OR MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES FOR ACCURACY OR THAT IT WILL PRESERVE OR MAINTAIN ANY SUCH INFORMATION OR MATERIALS WITHOUT LOSS. CENTRO WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, SERVICE FAILURES, OR OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER SYSTEMS OUTSIDE CENTRO’S REASONABLE CONTROL.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CENTRO BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHICH ARISE OUT OF OR ARE IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY USE OF THE SERVICES OR CENTRO CONTENT, OR ANY FAILURE OR DELAY RELATING TO THE SERVICES. IN ADDITION, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO $50. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You understand and agree that the disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations in this Section are essential elements of this Agreement and that they represent a reasonable allocation of risk. In particular, you understand that Centro would be unable to provide the Services to you except on these terms and agree that this Agreement will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement is effective as of the date of your first access, browse, or use of the Services and will remain in effect for the duration of your access or use, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. We may suspend your ability to use all or any element of the Services or may terminate this Agreement effective immediately, without notice or explanation. Without limiting the foregoing, we may suspend your access to the Services if we believe you to be in violation of any part of this Agreement (including any Centro Policies). The termination of this Agreement will not affect any of our rights or your obligations arising under this Agreement, and you agree that Centro will not be liable to you for any termination of this Agreement or for any effects of any termination of this Agreement. You are free to discontinue your use of the Services at any time.

11. DISPUTES AND APPLICABLE LAW

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without application of conflict of laws rules. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Services, or any Centro Content not otherwise resolved by you and Centro will be settled solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) administered in accordance with the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve disputes and to make awards will be limited to disputes between you and Centro alone, with no right or authority for any disputes to be arbitrated on a class action basis or in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or other persons similarly situated. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then such provision will be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. Exclusive jurisdiction and venue in connection with any dispute between you and Centro will lie in the San Francisco County, California. Any cause of action you may have with respect to this Agreement, the Services, or any Centro Content must be commenced within one year after the claim or cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action will be barred.

12. GENERAL

This Agreement may not be modified, supplemented, qualified, or interpreted by any trade usage or prior course of dealing not made a part of this Agreement by its express terms. This Agreement and the Centro Policies constitute the entire agreement between you and us relating to your use of the Services and supersede and replace any prior agreement and communication between you and us, except as otherwise set forth herein. This Agreement and any rights hereunder may not be transferred or assigned by you, but you agree that we may assign this Agreement without restriction and without your prior consent. Any attempted transfer or assignment by you without our prior written consent will be null and void. The failure by either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, to exercise any election or option provided herein, or to require at any time the performance of the other of any of the provisions herein will not in any way be construed as a waiver of such provisions. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and will not be given any legal import.
