By using this Website or the Services, you expressly release us from any and all liability arising from your exposure to any such information and/or material.
If you believe a User or any provider of Third-Party Services acted inappropriately or otherwise misused this Website or the Services, please report such User and/or provider to Customer Support. You agree that your report shall not impose any responsibility or liability upon us and that we may consider such report and act upon it, refrain from taking any such action, or require additional information or documents before doing so, in our sole and absolute discretion.
Legal Advice. We are not providing legal advice. Note that the laws and regulations at both the state and federal level relating to website accessibility continue to change, and it is your responsibility to monitor and comply with these regulations. Our Content and Terms and Conditions are not guaranteeing that the Services provide any immunity from prosecution for the lack of complete website accessibility.
Full website accessibility. All services do not inherently make your existing website fully compliant. After the Services are implemented, i.e., CommonAccess, to be fully compliant, you will need to decide on a course of action for your web presence, including remediating existing websites and User Content, or building a new compliant website.
Accessible version of User Content.Certain Services, i.e., Common Access, include providing a separate, accessible version of the User Website as an interim step to fully compliant website accessibility. If the User makes changes on their User Website, this separate version may no longer be an accurate reflection of the User Website and therefore may lose accurate utility for the vision impaired End User and may weaken any argument that the User was working towards full compliance. The User has the option to contact us and contract for an updated accessible version or make the changes themselves in the admin dashboard provided.
Governing Law & Jurisdiction. This Agreement, the rights and remedies provided hereunder, and any and all claims and disputes related hereto and/or to this Website or the Services, their interpretation, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from or pursuant to this Agreement, or any related transaction or purchase, shall be governed by, construed under and enforced in all respects solely and exclusively in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Texas in the United States of America ("USA"), without respect to its conflict of laws principles.
Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, this Agreement, this Website or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Texas in each case located in the City of Houston and County of Harris, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of this Agreement, this Website or the Services in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts. The application of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby expressly excluded.
Class Action Waiver. Subject to any applicable law, all disputes between you and We shall only be resolved on an individual basis and you shall not have the right to bring any claim against US as a plaintiff or a member of a class, consolidated or representative actions (or any other legal proceedings conducted by a group or by representatives on behalf of others).

Relationship. This Agreement and your use of this Website or the Services do not, and shall not be construed to, create any partnership, joint-venture, employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship between US and you.
Complete Agreement. This Agreement, as may be revised by us from time to time in our sole and absolute discretion, together with any Invoices provided to you by us, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and US concerning regarding this Website and the Services, and shall supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, regarding this Website and the Services.
Assignment. WE may assign its rights and/or obligations hereunder and/or transfer ownership rights and title in this Website, the Services and/or OUR Content to a third party without your consent or prior notice to you. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights and obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. Any attempted or actual assignment thereof without our prior written consent will be null and void. In any event, an assignment or transfer pursuant to this provision shall not in itself grant either US or you the right to cancel any Services or Third-Party Services then in effect.
Severability & Waivers. If any provision of the Agreement is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. No Waiver of any breach or default of any of term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
Interpretation. Any heading, section, or caption titled herein, and any explanation or summary contained under the "Section Overview" areas of text, is provided strictly for convenience, and in no way defines or explains any section or provision hereof, or legally binds us in any instance.
