Ending These Terms

The Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you or Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society as follows.

You may end your legal agreement with Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society at any time for any reason by deleting your accounts and discontinuing your use of the Services. You do not need to specifically inform Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society when you stop using the Services. If you stop using the Services without deleting your accounts, your accounts may be deactivated due to prolonged inactivity.

We may suspend or terminate your accounts or cease providing you with all or part of the Services at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe: (i) you have violated these Terms of Service, (ii) you create risk or possible legal exposure for us, (iii) our provision or the Services to you is no longer commercially viable. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you by the email address associated with your account or the next time you attempt to access your account. Nothing in this section shall affect Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society’ right to change, limit or stop the provision of the Services without prior notice, as provided above.

Links

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society and its affiliates are not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such websites or resources; or (ii) the content, products, or services on or available from such websites or resources. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society of such websites or resources or the content, products, or services available from such websites and resources. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any such website or resources.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Your use of the Services, including, without limitation, your use of any Content accessible through the Services, and your interactions and dealings with any Services users, is at your sole risk. The Services and all content available on and through the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society and its suppliers and licensors expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society does not warrant uninterrupted use or operation of the Services or your access to any content. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from the Services will create any warranty regarding Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society that is not expressly stated in these Terms. Some jurisdictions may prohibit a disclaimer of warranties and you may have other rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Without limiting this section, Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society makes no warranties whatsoever, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or usefulness of any information contained or referenced in the Services. Health-related information changes frequently and therefore the information contained the Services may be outdated, incomplete or incorrect. Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society does not assume any risk whatsoever for your use of the Services or the information contained in the Services.

Limitation of Liability

You will not hold Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society responsible for any loss you may incur as a result of Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society taking any of the actions described in the Terms nor for other users’ actions or inactions, including, without limitation, Content they post.

Neither Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society nor its suppliers or licensors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society or any supplier or licensor has been advised of the possibility of these damages), arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or your inability to access or use, the Services or any Content.

You accept sole responsibility for the legality of your actions under laws applying to you and the legality of any Content you supply.

Although we use techniques that aim to verify the accuracy and the truth of the information provided by our users, user verification on the internet is difficult. Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society cannot and does not confirm, and is not responsible for ensuring, the accuracy and truthfulness of users’ purported identities or the validity of their data regarding their activities, or the information they post on our Services.

We cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our Services, and operation of our sites may be interfered with by numerous factors outside our control. While we will use our reasonable endeavours to maintain uninterrupted Services, we cannot guarantee this and we do not give any promises or warranties (whether express or implied) about the availability of our Services. We (including our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees), shall not be liable to you in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise for any business losses, such as loss of data, profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, reputation or business interruption or for any losses which are not reasonably foreseeable by us arising, directly or indirectly, out of your use of or inability to use our Services.

Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, the maximum total liability of Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society and its suppliers and licensors to you for all claims under these Terms, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is GBP 100. By accepting these terms and using our Services, you waive your right to any Class Action Lawsuit against Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society

Each provision of these Terms that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is to allocate the risks under these Terms between the parties. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of these Terms the limitations in this section will apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the brand Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners and third-party advertisers and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, licensors and suppliers from and against any costs, damages, expenses, and liabilities (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

No Agency

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

Legal Disputes

If a dispute arises between you and Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by going to the Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society Contact Us page. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediation and arbitration, as alternatives to litigation. Any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed and construed in all respects by the laws of England and Wales. You and Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

General

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and the remaining provisions shall be enforced.

In our sole discretion, we may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms with due notice (but without your prior express consent), provided that we assign the Terms on the same terms or terms that are no less advantageous to you.

Section headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section.

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We do not guarantee we will take action against all breaches of these Terms.

We may amend these Terms at any time by email or by posting the amended Terms on our Services. Except as stated elsewhere, all amended Terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted.

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society and supersede all prior understandings and representations.

The following sections survive any termination of the Services by you or by Huddersfield Jazz Guitar Society: Content, Ownership, Disclaimer of Warranty, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, No Agency and Legal Disputes.
