NO WARRANTIES/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

You understand that all warranties, express or implied, are disclaimed (including, but not limited to, the disclaimer of any implied warranties of non-infringement, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose). CCM is not liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages (including damages for loss of business, loss of profits, litigation, or the like), whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. CCM shall have no obligation to defend any claim or suit or to hold harmless or indemnify you against any allegation of infringement or violation of any patent right of a third party by reason of your use of the Services. The negation of damages set forth above is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between CCM and you. The Services would not be provided without such limitations. No advice or information, whether oral or written, shall create any warranty, representation, or guarantee not expressly stated in these Terms of Service. If you are dissatisfied with the Services or any of these Terms of Service, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Services immediately. By using the Services, you agree that the exclusions and limitations of liability set forth above are reasonable.

INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold CCM and its partners, attorneys, employees, agents, and affiliates harmless from any liability, loss, claim, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, related to your violation of these Terms of Service, use of the Services, or any service provided or performed or agreed to be performed, or any product sold by you, your agents, employees, or assigns.

ASSIGNMENT

CCM may transfer, sub-contract, or otherwise deal with CCM’s rights and/or obligations under these Terms of Service without notifying you or obtaining your consent. You may not transfer, sub-contract, or otherwise deal with your rights and/or obligations under these Terms of Service.

WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY

Any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provisions of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our rights to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect.

​Any cancellation, suspension, or termination will not affect your obligations to CCM under these Terms of Service (including, without limitation, proprietary rights and ownership, indemnification, and limitation of liability), which by their sense and context are intended to survive such cancellation, suspension, or termination.

LAW AND JURISDICTION

You agree that these Terms of Service shall be treated as though they were executed and performed in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania (without regard to conflict of law principles).
