If you are not a registered user or an unregistered Attendee (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 2.3), you agree to these Terms of Service by using, accessing or browsing any part of the Services. If you will access or use the services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind THAT entity and its affiliates to these Terms of Service, in which case the terms “You” or “Your” shall refer to THAT entity and its affiliates.

The English language version is the master version that governs your use of the service, and in the event of a conflict between the English language version and a different language version, the English version will prevail.

FrontCore reserves the right to delay an order if the Organizer does not provide the proper materials with correct formatting and information.

FrontCore will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make its Services, including but not limited to its databases, enquiry forms, scripts of any kind, all features, communication tools, management tools, statistic overviews, customization tools, support services, websites, including the User Websites and the subscription members’ portal (the “Portal,” and together with the User Websites, the “Sites”), fully operable, functional and available for use and, if part of the Services, available through the internet. However, technical problems such as temporary non-availability of individual parts of the Services or the short-term unavailability of all Services itself must be expected and shall not constitute breach of these Terms of Service. FrontCore is not responsible for periodic downtime, any loss or destruction of data or information, temporary loss of operability or functionality or items beyond FrontCore’s control, which is a normal part of Internet business. Access to parts or all of the Services may be restricted from time to time to allow for repairs, maintenance or updating. FrontCore is not responsible for any lack of functionality that is due to Organizer’s equipment (including device, internet connection, operating system or settings and software). FrontCore reserves the right to change features and content offered under the Services on an ongoing basis.

FrontCore will not place links to the Organizer’s website or website content in newsgroups, message boards, unsolicited email, and other types of spam.

THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THEIR FUNCTIONALITY, SCRIPTS, FEATURES, SITES AND ANY CONTENT PROVIDED AT OR THROUGH THE SERVICES OR SITES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS, OPERABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR WARRANTIES ARISING BY COURSE OF DEALING OR CUSTOM OR TRADE. IN NO EVENT SHALL FRONTCORE, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS BE LIABLE TO ORGANIZER OR ANY OTHER ENTITY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, COMPENSATORY, INDIRECT,  INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE  DAMAGES  (INCLUDING,  WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES  FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS  INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF INFORMATION AND LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO (1) ORGANIZER’S OR ANY OTHER USER’S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES AND/OR SITES; (2) ORGANIZER’S OR ANY OTHER USER’S RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES, SITES, AND/OR CONTENT; (3) ERRORS, INACCURACIES, OMISSIONS, DEFECTS, UNTIMELINESS, SECURITY BREACHES, OR DISCLOSURES; (4) THE SATISFACTION OF ANY GOVERNMENT REGULATION REQUIRING DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE SITES; OR (5) ANY OTHER FAILURE TO PERFORM BY FRONTCORE OR FRONTCORE’S CONTENT PROVIDERS, VENDORS, OR ORGANIZATIONS WITH WHICH FRONTCORE CONDUCTS BUSINESS.  THE FOREGOING SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER FRONTCORE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FRONTCORE HAS NO CONTROL OVER AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, QUALITY, SAFETY OR LEGALITY OF EVENTS ADVERTISED, THE TRUTH OR ACCURACY OF ANY USERS’ (INCLUDING ATTENDEES’, OTHER NON-REGISTERED USERS AND ORGANIZERS’) SUBMITTED CONTENT OR LISTINGS OR THE ABILITY OF ANY USER (INCLUDING ATTENDEES AND ORGANIZERS) TO PERFORM OR COMPLETE A TRANSACTION.  FRONTCORE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH, AND HAS NO AGENCY OR EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THIRD PARTY VENDORS INTEGRATED TO THE SERVICES THROUGH API’S, USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SERVICES, AND FRONTCORE HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM, THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY SUCH THIRD PARTIES.

9    Releases

FRONTCORE PROVIDE SERVICES AND A MARKETPLACE THROUGH WHICH ORGANIZERS AND ATTENDEES CAN TRANSACT WITH EACH OTHER. FRONTCORE CAN, HOWEVER, NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF ATTENDEES, ORGANIZERS, OTHER USERS AND/OR THIRD PARTIES USING THE SERVICES.

TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES YOU HEREBY ACCEPT THAT FRONTCORE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OR MATERIALS OF THIRD PARTIES OR USERS, AND YOU RELEASES FRONTCORE AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM ANY CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY CLAIMS YOU HAVE OR MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY SUCH THIRD PARTIES OR USERS.

ORGANIZER AND FRONTCORE AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS AN AGREED ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN ORGANIZER AND FRONTCORE. ORGANIZER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ABSENT ORGANIZER’S AGREEMENT TO THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, FRONTCORE WOULD NOT PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE SERVICES, SITE AND/OR CONTENT TO ORGANIZER. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILIT Y FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO ORGANIZER. IN SUCH CASES, FRONTCORE’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
