7. This site has links to many other sites (“third-party sites”). A link to a third-party site does not imply that the ILCBA endorses or is associated with the third-party site, or that the third-party site endorses or is associated with the ILCBA. These links are provided for informational purposes only. The ILCBA does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy or completeness of third-party sites. You agree that all Content provided by third-party sites in connection with this Site is the responsibility of the person or entity providing such Content. You understand and acknowledge that the ILCBA assumes no responsibility to screen or review Content provided as part of the Site. The ILCBA shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to refuse, monitor, or remove any Content that is available on the Site. The ILCBA expressly disclaims all responsibility or liability to users and any other person or entity for the performance or nonperformance of the Content review.

8. The use of this Site is solely at your own risk. The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. The ILCBA disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including without limitation warranties or merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and non- infringement. The ILCBA expressly disclaims any responsibility for the actions of any Member or other use that uses the Site. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. The ILCBA makes no warranty that the Site will meet your particular requirements, or will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, current, accurate, complete or error-free, or that the results that may be obtained by use of the Site will be accurate or reliable. You understand and acknowledge that your sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any defect or dissatisfaction with the Site is to cease to use the Site. You may have other rights which may vary from state-to-state or within national jurisdictions. The ILCBA expressly disclaims all liability related to any actions taken, or not taken, in reliance on this site or any third-party site accessed through this site. You expressly understand and agree that the ILCBA shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, economic, or punitive damages, including without limitation, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data loss, or other loss (even if the ILCBA has been advised of the possibility of such damages) resulting from any matter relating to your use of the Site or any third-party site accessed through the Site.

9. You may not use the Site for any purpose or in any manner that violates any local, state, or federal law or regulation or the law or regulation of any foreign government. You may not post any information which would violate any copyright or other law, contractual or other rights, or the confidentiality of any attorney-client relationship.

10. You understand that the Site may provide the capability to upload, post, or transmit images (such as your photograph or other graphics) to third party users through the Site (collectively, “Images”). You authorize the ILCBA the right to copyright, license, publish, broadcast, display, reproduce, and distribute in any manner the Images. You understand that the Images may be altered, adapted, or modified in connection with such use, and that your Images may be used alone or in combination with a fictitious name. You understand that you will not receive any royalties or other reimbursement for permitting the ILCBA to use the Images. You grant the ILCBA and other users the absolute right and permission to use, re-use, publish, and re- publish Images, with or without your name, or reproductions thereof or excerpts therefrom, made through any medium, and in any and all media now or hereafter known for any purpose whatsoever. You also consent to the use of any printed matter or other photograph or artwork of any kind without any restriction or limitation thereon, in conjunction therewith. You also understand that you will have no copyright or other rights with respect to the Images as they are used by the ILCBA or users. You hereby release, discharge, and agree to hold harmless the ILCBA and any users, from and against any and all claims and demands, including but not limited to, any claims for copyright infringement, defamation, invasion of privacy, or right of publicity, arising out of or in connection with any use of the Images.

11. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the ILCBA, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers, harmless from and against any claims, actions, demands, liabilities, and settlements including without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, resulting from, or alleged to result from, your violation of these Terms and Conditions.

12. Users, Members, and the ILCBA agree that this Agreement and the relationship between the users, Members, and the ILCBA will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without respect to its conflict of laws provisions and that venue with respect to any dispute between the Users, Members, and the ILCBA will rest exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Chicago, Illinois.

13. The ILCBA may change the Terms and Conditions from time to time. If such a change is made, the ILCBA will post the revised Terms and Conditions on the Site. The ILCBA reserves the right to add to or change the Site or cease offering the Site (or any Content or Services on the Site) at any time and without liability. The ILCBA reserves the right to refuse to offer access to the Site to anyone at any time without notice.

14. The Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and the ILCBA relating to the Site. There is no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer, or attorney-client relationship between any user and the ILCBA arising solely through the use of the Site. The Terms and Conditions are binding upon your successors, assigns, heirs, and executors. If any provision of the Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms and Conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of the ILCBA to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or condition. Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Site or the Terms and Conditions must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose. The section titles of the Terms and Conditions are merely for convenience and will not have any effect on the substantive meaning of this Agreement.
