PLEASE READ THESE TOS CAREFULLY, AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these TOS at any time. If we do this, depending on the nature of the change, we will post the changes on this page and indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised and/or notify you, either through the Services' user interface, in an email notification or through other reasonable means and as required by applicable law. Except where otherwise prohibited by applicable law, your continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new TOS.

At Brunswick, we respect the privacy of our users. For details please see our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these TOS by reference.

Brunswick’s name and logos are trademarks and service marks of Brunswick (collectively the “Brunswick Trademarks”). Other product and service names and logos used and displayed via the Services may be trademarks or service marks of their respective owners who may or may not endorse or be affiliated with or connected to Brunswick.

You acknowledge that Brunswick does not pre-screen content, but that Brunswick and its designees will have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or remove any content that is available via the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Brunswick Group and its designees will have the right to remove any content that violates these TOS or is deemed by Brunswick, in its sole discretion, to be otherwise objectionable.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

 

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, BRUNSWICK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  

 

8. General

These TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and Brunswick and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Brunswick with respect to the Services. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third party content or third party software. These TOS will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Brunswick agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York. The failure of Brunswick to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TOS will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these TOS remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this TOS and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this TOS to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign this TOS without the prior written consent of Brunswick, but Brunswick may assign or transfer this TOS, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. Under no circumstances shall Brunswick be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control. The Services may also provide notices to you of changes to these TOS or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Services.
