As used herein, the Website includes, without limitation, features on the Website, software code, scripts, interfaces, graphics, displays, text, images, artwork, music or video clips, documentation and other components or content and any updates, modifications or enhancements to these items accompanying the Website. We ask that each individual who accesses or uses the Website (each a “User” and, collectively, “Users,” and when such user specifically refers to you then “You,” “Your,” “Yours” or “Yourself”) take the time to read these Terms and Conditions carefully.

1.4 If Core Spaces makes any updates or upgrades to the Website available to You, such updates or upgrades shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Your continued access of the Website constitutes Your agreement to any updated Terms and Conditions and this Agreement.

If You are under age eighteen (18), do not submit to Core Spaces any personally identifiable information, such as Your name, address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would permit Core Spaces to identify You. Because such information will not be specifically identified as being from minors, users of this Website should be aware that personally identifiable information submitted by minors may be treated in the same manner as information given by an adult.

CORE SPACES AND ITS COLLABORATORS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES REGARDING THE WEBSITE AND THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND SERVICES, WHETHER ORAL, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AND WHETHER ARISING BY LAW, STATUTE, USAGE OF TRADE, CUSTOM, COURSE OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PARTIES, OR THE NATURE OR CONTEXT OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

9.3 YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CORE SPACES AND ITS COLLABORATORS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO CORRECT ANY ERRORS OR OTHERWISE SUPPORT OR MAINTAIN THE WEBSITE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE WEBSITE IS NOT INTENDED OR SUITABLE FOR USE IN SITUATIONS OR ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THE PERFORMANCE OF, USE OR MISUSE OF, FAILURE OF, OR ERRORS OR INACCURACIES IN THE CONTENT, DATA OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY, THE WEBSITE COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL, PROPERTY, OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. CORE SPACES AND ITS COLLABORATORS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE COMPATIBLE OR INTEROPERABLE WITH YOUR DEVICE OR ANY OTHER PIECE OF HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, EQUIPMENT OR DEVICE INSTALLED ON OR USED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR DEVICE(S). FURTHERMORE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COMPATIBILITY AND INTEROPERABILITY PROBLEMS CAN CAUSE THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR DEVICE TO DIMINISH OR FAIL COMPLETELY, AND MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, LOSS OF THE DATA LOCATED ON YOUR DEVICE, AND CORRUPTION OF THE SOFTWARE AND FILES LOCATED ON YOUR DEVICE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CORE SPACES AND ITS COLLABORATORS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY LOSSES SUFFERED, RESULTING FROM OR ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPATIBILITY OR INTEROPERABILITY PROBLEMS. SHOULD THE WEBSITE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE BURDEN OF ALL NECESSARY EXPENSES, SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION. THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

10.1  EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL CORE SPACES, ITS COLLABORATORS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS, NOR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, BE LIABLE FOR ACCIDENTS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF, THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF, OR YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE AND ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND SERVICES, WHETHER OR NOT THE DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, CORE SPACES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU (WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE) SHALL NOT EXCEED TWO DOLLARS ($2.00). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

11.1 You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Core Spaces and its collaborators, suppliers and licensors, and their officers, directors, agents and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any claim, proceeding, loss, damage, fine, penalty, interest and expense (including, without limitation, fees for attorneys and other professional advisors) arising out of or in connection with the following: (i) Your access to or use of this Website or Third-Party Content and Services; (ii) Your breach of this Agreement; (iii) Your violation of law; (iv) Your negligence or willful misconduct; or (v) Your violation of the rights of a third party.

12.1 If Core Spaces has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with You after attempting to do so informally, each party agrees to resolve such a dispute through binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will take place in Chicago, Illinois.

12.2 Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

The following miscellaneous provisions survive termination, or expiration of this Agreement.

13.1 Governing Law, Limitation on Actions.  Core Spaces makes no representation that materials in the Website are appropriate or available for use in other locations. These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. To the extent that the arbitration provision above is deemed not to control, You agree that any permitted action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Cook County in Illinois and You hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.

13.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to a party, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons other than those to whom it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected and each remaining provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13.3 Waiver. Except as provided herein, the failure to exercise a right or require performance of an obligation under this Agreement shall not affect a party’s ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver of a breach constitute waiver of any subsequent breach.

13.4 Modification or Amendment. Core Spaces reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, at any time and from time to time, the Website (or any function or feature of the Website or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Core Spaces will not be liable to You or to any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Website. This Agreement may be updated or changed from time to time, as determined by Core Spaces in its sole discretion. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon such notice, and You waive any right You may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications. Your use of the Website following updates or a change to this Agreement constitutes Your acceptance of those changes; therefore, You should frequently review this Agreement to understand the terms and conditions that apply to Your use of the Website. If You do not agree to the revisions, You must stop using, browsing, or accessing the Website immediately.

13.5 Survival. Any provisions of this Agreement which by their express language or by their context are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

13.6 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as explicitly provided in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto) any rights, benefits or remedies of any kind or character, or to create any obligations or liabilities of a party to any such person.

13.7 No Transfer by You. You may not rent, lease, lend, sublicense, assign or transfer the Website, this Agreement or any of the rights granted hereunder. Any attempted transfer in contravention of this provision shall be null and void and of no force or effect. These obligations survive termination of this Agreement. Core Spaces may assign this Agreement without restriction.
