USE OF THE SITE

You agree not to utilize or otherwise access the Site for any unlawful purpose or for any purpose that encourages or facilitates unlawful or criminal conduct or to post or transmit any material that is in any way infringing or otherwise in violation of the rights of others, including but not limited to engaging in conduct that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane, or otherwise objectionable. You further agree not to utilize the Site for the purpose of advertising or solicitation without the express prior written consent of AutoCrit, and you agree not to use the Site to promote other on-line services that are competitive with AutoCrit or the Site.

USE OF THE SITE AND AUTOCRIT SERVICES BY CHILDREN

This section explains conditions relating to use of the Site and AutoCrit Services.

AutoCrit does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. If you are under the age of 13, please do not submit any personal information through the Site or AutoCrit Services without parental consent.

AutoCrit’s Service is designed for Parents to find Courses for the benefit of their child or children.

Many AutoCrit Services allow Users to communicate directly with AutoCrit Instructors and other Users. There are risks that Users assume when dealing with other Users (including those who may be acting under false pretenses). AutoCrit does not control the behavior of Users during these interactions. While AutoCrit strives to provide a safe and welcoming environment for its Users, you agree that all of these risks are ultimately borne by you, and not AutoCrit.

User Safety: Each Instructor is required to report to AutoCrit any suspected case of child abuse or neglect they become aware of during their work with AutoCrit Users. Consistent with the Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) (42 U.S.C.A. § 5106g), AutoCrit defines “abuse or neglect” as: “any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation”; or “an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm.” Instructors may also be required to report suspected abuse or neglect to local authorities, and AutoCrit expects all Instructors to comply with their individual reporting responsibilities. AutoCrit itself may report instances of suspected abuse or neglect as it deems appropriate.

ACCESS TO AUTOCRIT SERVICES

You will be required to register with AutoCrit in order to access and use certain features of the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy.

You must be of legal age to form a binding contract to register for the Service (in many jurisdictions, this age is 18). If you are not yet of legal age to form a binding contract, then you must get your Parent to read these Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and agree to them before you use any AutoCrit Service. If you are a Parent and you provide your consent to your child’s use of the Service, then you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service with respect to your child’s use of the Service.

Your access to AutoCrit Services is subject to you maintaining an active AutoCrit Membership. Should your membership expire or be terminated, you will subsequently lose access to all AutoCrit Services.

All provisions of this User Agreement which by their nature are intended to survive the termination of your membership or this Agreement, including but not limited to the DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION clause below.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION

The Site and all features thereof are provided on an “as is” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of title or non-infringement or implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, other than those warranties which are implied by and incapable of exclusion under applicable law. Neither AutoCrit, nor any of its owners, officers, directors, operators, partners, employees, agents, subcontractors, licensors, successors, assigns, affiliates, or third party suppliers (collectively “affiliated parties”) warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error free; nor do they make any warranty as to the accuracy, reliability of any information obtained from the Site, or the results that may be obtained from use of the Site.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will AutoCrit or its affiliated parties be liable for any damages, including, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential (including but not limited to lost business or lost profits) or punitive damages arising out of the use of or inability to use the Site, the content contained on the Site, or in connection with AutoCrit competition or otherwise. You specifically acknowledge that neither AutoCrit nor its affiliated parties are liable for the defamatory, offensive or illegal conduct of other users and that the risk of injury from the foregoing rests entirely with you.

The negation and limitation of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between us and you. This Site would not be provided without such limitations. In the event the above limitation of liability is prohibited by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of AutoCrit and its affiliated parties in connection with any claim arising out of or relating to the Site shall not exceed fifty US dollars ($50), and such amount shall be in lieu of all other remedies which you may have against AutoCrit or its affiliated parties.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless AutoCrit and its affiliated parties from and against all claims, damages, liability and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), arising out of or in connection with your violation of this user agreement or your use of the Site, including but not limited to, any material you post to the Site.
