Data contained on or made available through our TDS USA website is not intended to be, and does not constitute, legal advice. Our website does not create an attorney-client relationship. We do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, adequacy, or recency of the data contained in or linked to our website.

Your Duty To Other Users

Your use of our website is for your own personal, non-commercial benefit. In no way are you to leverage our website in a way that mines for the personal information of others. This includes, but is not limited to, spam (unsolicited commercial email). If you inadvertently obtain personal information about other users, you shall not share this with anyone else.

Restricted Access

Access to certain areas of our website is restricted. We reserve the right to restrict access to other areas, or our whole website, at our discretion. If we provide you with a user ID and password, you must ensure that they are kept confidential. You may not share them for any reason. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your user ID or password.

Third-Party Products / Services

You understand that, except for information, products or services clearly identified as being supplied by our website, our website does not operate, control or endorse any information, products or services on the Internet in any way. All information, products and services offered through our website or on the Internet generally are offered by third parties not affiliated with our website, and we may be compensated.

Assumption of Risk

You assume total responsibility and risk for your use of our website and the Internet. Our website provides itself and related information “as is” and does not make any express or implied warranties, representations or endorsements whatsoever (including without limitation warranties of title or noninfringement, or the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). It is solely your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all opinions, advice, services, merchandise and other information provided through the service.

Limitation of Liability

In no event will our website, its suppliers, or any third parties mentioned at our website be liable for any incidental, consequential, indirect or other damages (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of programs or information) arising out of the use of or inability to use the service. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.

Links to Other Websites

Our website contains links to third party websites. We make no representations whatsoever about any other website which you may access through this one. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement. Our website is not responsible for the content of linked third-party websites. If you decide to access linked third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.

User Submissions

As a user of our TDS USA website, you are responsible for your own communications. You must not post material that is copyrighted (unless you own it), reveals trade secrets, infringes on others’ intellectual property or privacy rights, is obscene or defamatory, is sexually explicit, constitutes advertising or solicitation, is a chain letter or pyramid scheme, or impersonates another person.

Our website does not necessarily screen communications in advance and is not responsible for screening or monitoring material posted by users. We reserve the right to expel users for violating this agreement and to remove communications which are abusive, illegal, or disruptive.

3. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless our TDS USA website, its members, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers and any third party information providers to our website from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any use of our website or violation of this agreement (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing our website.

4. Third Party Rights

The provisions of paragraphs 2 (Use of the Service) and 3 (Indemnification) are for the benefit of our website and its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers, and any third party information providers to the service. Each of these individuals or entities shall have the right to assert and enforce those provisions directly against you on their own behalf.

5. Term & Termination

We reserve the right to investigate complaints or reported violations of these Terms of Service and Conditions of Use and to take any action we deem appropriate, including but not limited to reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties.

This Agreement, in whole or in part, may be terminated by TDS USA without notice at any time for any reason. The provisions of paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

6. Hiring a Professional

Choosing a lawyer, doctor, or investment advisor is a serious matter and should NOT be based solely on data contained on our website or in advertisements. The law, medicine, and finance are complex and constantly changing. You should seriously consider hiring licensed, professional counsel in your jurisdiction.

You may send us email, but in no instance will this communication in any way be construed as initiating an attorney-client relationship or other professional relationship. Communications should not include confidential or sensitive data because they will not be treated as privileged or confidential.

7. Miscellaneous

Governing Law

This Agreement shall be treated as though executed, set in force, and performed in the State of New York. Accordingly, it shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Disputes

Any cause of action by you with respect to our TDS USA website must be instituted within one (1) year after the cause of action arose or be forever waived and barred. Any legal claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our website (excluding intellectual property right infringement and other claims by us) shall be settled confidentially through mandatory binding arbitration per the American Arbitration Association commercial arbitration rules. Arbitration shall be conducted in New York. Each party shall bear half the arbitration fees and costs and its own lawyer fees. All claims shall be arbitrated on an individual basis.

Assignability

Our website may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.

Severability

Should any part of these Terms of Service and Conditions of Use be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed as much as possible consistent with applicable law and severability shall apply to the remaining portions, so that they remain in full force and effect.
