The following Terms & Conditions of Use (the “Terms”) govern your use of the online learning applications, online courses, newsletters, and the website www.takecontroladhd.com (the “Site”) (collectively, the “Services”). Nikki Kinzer, her collaborators, www.takecontroladhd.com, and their owners, agents, contractors and subcontractors (“we,” “us,” or “our”) reject any additional or contrary terms submitted by you or any other third party. Our Private Policy applies to and is incorporated into these Terms by this reference.

This is a contract between you and us. By accessing or using the services, you acknowledge understanding these terms and you agree to be bound by them with any changes that we may publish from time to time. Read all of these terms carefully. If you do not agree to all these terms, then you may not access or use our services. If you breach any of the terms, your authorization to use the services automatically terminates. The services are provided “as is” and as available. You use them at your own risk. You are responsible for your conduct and submissions to the services. We are not responsible for any user content submitted through the services. We reserve the right to discontinue your access to the services, and remove any content, at any time, for any reason or no reason, at our sole discretion, with or without notice.

Modifications To Terms Of Use

You agree to revisit these Terms on a regular basis because revised versions will affect your rights. We reserve the right to modify these Terms from time to time at our sole discretion, without notice to you. Your continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of any modifications to the Services and the Terms. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any modifications to the Services are subject to the most recent Terms.

Online Course Use License

If you pay for an online course, you have permission to temporarily download one copy of those materials (information or software) for personal, non-commercial, transitory viewing only, subject to all of these Terms.

This license automatically terminates if you violate any of these Terms and may be terminated by us at any time. Upon terminating your viewing of these materials or upon the termination of this license, you must destroy any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed format.

To the maximum extent allowable under applicable law, we or our licensors own all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Services. Except for open source, public domain, and “creative commons” components, and as otherwise provided in these Terms, all text, lists, videos, graphics, visual interfaces, photographs, images, logos, audio, artwork and computer code, products, including but not limited to the design, structure, selection, coordination, expression, “look and feel,” any advertisements, and arrangements of such content, through the Services belong to us or our licensors, and may be protected by trade dress, trade secret, copyright, trademark laws, and unfair competition laws. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you have no right to use any of our trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, or other brand features, for any purpose, or in any manner that is likely to cause consumer confusion, dilutes our brand, or that disparages or discredits us.

WAIVER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY - PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT LIMITS OUR LIABILITY TO YOU.

NOTHING HEREIN IS INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE WHICH MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY LIMITED. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THIS OR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THESE TERMS, CONSULT WITH A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THIS SECTION. YOU ARE GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS.

YOU HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING OR ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST US RELATING TO THE SERVICES, AND RELEASE US FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR AGENTS, OR OUR ASSIGNS, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST OR DAMAGED INFORMATION OR DATA, DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION, SUBSTITUTE GOODS, REPUTATION HARM, OR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, RELIANCE, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, FOR ANY REASON OR CAUSE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Miscellaneous Provisions

We want you to enjoy our Services, so if you have an issue or dispute, you agree to raise it first by contacting us and trying to resolve it informally before initiating legal action. Before any party can initiate a lawsuit related to the Services, the parties must meet in good faith to engage in mediation with a mutually acceptable neutral mediator, located in Multnomah or Lane County, Oregon.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BY ONE PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER SHALL BE COMMENCED AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN MULTNOMAH OR LANE COUNTY, OREGON. You agree to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts in connection with any litigation, and hereby waive all objections to venue and any claim that the forum is inconvenient.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Oregon, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

The Terms may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of Nikki Kinzer. Any waiver must be in a writing signed by Nikki Kinzer or her duly authorized representative. A waiver of any right, default, or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other default or term. Any of these Terms deemed invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not render invalid or unenforceable the remaining Terms or otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of any of the remaining Terms. If any provision of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent. If no such modification is possible, that provision shall be deemed severed from the rest of this agreement. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive the termination of your access to the Services, including, without limitation, provisions about ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to their subject matter and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, or representations regarding your use of the Services and related content. All headings and captions in this agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this agreement. Additional terms and conditions may exist between you and third parties. You represent and warrant that those third party agreements do not interfere with your obligations and duties to us under the Terms. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Services. You are merely a user of the Services offered by us. Assignment and delegation of any of your rights and obligations under these Terms is prohibited.

If either party brings legal action to enforce these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred in connection with such action, prior to, at trial, and on any appeal, in addition to any legal and equitable remedies. Any failure by us to exercise any remedy or enforce any portion of the Terms at any time shall not operate as a waiver of any remedy or right to enforce any portion of the Agreement at any time.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
