19. RSS FEEDS TERMS OF USE
a. HeroWiz’s Really Simple Syndication (RSS) service is a XML-based method through which HeroWiz makes information from the HeroWiz web site available (“RSS Content”). Your use of the RSS Service and RSS Content is subject to these Terms.
b. Use of RSS Feeds. The RSS service is provided free of charge solely for personal, non-commercial use. You must use the RSS Content as provided by HeroWiz, and you may not edit or modify the text, content or links provided by HeroWiz. Any other uses are strictly prohibited, including without limitation, (a) incorporating, targeting or associating any advertising or promotion with the RSS Content, (b) extracting, storing (other than temporary caching), or otherwise reusing any content or information contained within the RSS Content, or (c) further transmitting, distributing, sublicensing or syndicating the RSS Content to any third party.
c. Links to Content Pages. With respect to displaying RSS Content, you may only display the RSS Content on a personal website, blog or similar non-commercial website or application (such as a RSS reader) from which a functional link is made available that, when accessed, takes the viewer directly to the applicable content page or other location on the HeroWiz site. You may not display the RSS Content in a manner that does not permit successful linking to, redirection to or delivery of the applicable HeroWiz web page. You may not insert any intermediate page, splash page or other content between the RSS link and the applicable HeroWiz web page.
d. Ownership/Attribution. HeroWiz and its licensors reserve all rights in and to the RSS Content, and any HeroWiz logos and trademarks used in connection with the service. You must provide attribution to HeroWiz when you use the RSS service. Unless we provide you an approved graphic as part of the RSS Content, attribution to “HeroWiz Services, LLC.” should be made in text form.
e. Right to Discontinue Fees; Disclaimer. HeroWiz reserves the right to cease offering the RSS service at any time or to require you to cease using or displaying the RSS Content at any time for any reason. We provide the RSS service and all RSS Content “as is” without any warranty of any kind. We shall have no liability for your use of the service or any RSS Content.
ADDITIONAL TERMS
a. Severance. If any part of the Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remainder will remain in full force and effect, provided that the allocation of risks described herein is given effect to the fullest extent possible.
b. No Assignment. These Terms (including terms incorporated into them, e.g., the Privacy Policy) are personal to you and you may not transfer, assign or delegate them to anyone without the express written permission of HeroWiz. Any attempt by you to assign, transfer or delegate these Terms without the express written permission of HeroWiz will be null and void. HeroWiz shall have the right to transfer, assign and/or delegate these Terms to one or more third parties without your permission.
c. Disputes; Choice of Law; Export Limitations. The Sites are controlled by us from our offices within the United States of America. If you choose to access this Site from locations outside the U.S., you do so at your own risk and you are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. You may not use or export anything from the Sites in violation of U.S. export laws and regulations or the Terms. By visiting the Sites, you agree that these Terms and all performances and claims of every nature (including without limitation, contract, tort and strict liability) relating in any way to any aspect of the Sites will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A., without regard to any conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Sites or to products or services sold or distributed by HeroWiz or through the Sites will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
d. Limitations on Actions. Any action concerning any dispute you may have with respect to the Sites must be commenced within one year after the cause of the dispute arises, or the cause of action is barred.
e. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings in these Terms are included to help make these Terms easier to read and have no binding effect.
f. Entire Agreement. These Terms (including terms incorporated into them, e.g., the Privacy Policy) comprise the entire agreement (the “Entire Agreement”) between you and HeroWiz with respect to the use of the Sites and supersedes all contemporaneous and prior agreements between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein, and neither party has relied on any representations made by the other that are not expressly set forth in the Entire Agreement.
g. No Waiver. The failure of HeroWiz to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, including any failure to act with respect to a breach, will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision or HeroWiz’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We suggest that you print out a copy of these Terms for your records.
