11. DISASTERREADY, NONPROFITREADY, AND VOLUNTEERREADY PREMIUM SERVICES (“DR+”, “NPR+”, “VR+”)

A portion of DisasterReady, DR+, NonprofitReady, NPR+, and VolunteerReady, VR+ requires registration (and, in some cases, payment) in order for you to access it. DR+, NPR+, and VR+ contain certain customizable enterprise features enabling organizations (each an “Entity”) to utilize learning management tools via a secure portal unique and private to their organization (an “Enterprise Portal”).

 

DR+, NPR+, and VR+ enable you, if authorized by an Entity via a specified log-in, to post User Content that is solely visible to authorized private users of a given Entity’s secure portal, and communicate with other workers within your Entity in real time.

Enterprise Portal Administration

Each Enterprise Portal may have one or more individuals who are responsible for overseeing the use of, and monitoring the content posted to, such Enterprise Portal (the “Portal Administrator”). Enterprise Portals may exist on DR+, NPR+, or VR+ absent a Portal Administrator; in such case users are responsible for conducting themselves in accordance with this Agreement.  

 

From time to time, users may be asked to confirm their DR+, NPR+, or VR+ access account via an email message containing a hyperlink to the user’s email address.  If such account is not reconfirmed, the account is removed. Once a user is removed from an Enterprise Portal, the content of that user remains on the applicable Enterprise Portal and is the sole property of the Entity which administers that Enterprise Portal.  

 

Users should follow their particular Entity’s policies, guidelines, and procedures concerning the User Content they post to an Enterprise Portal.  Users may delete their own User Content from an Enterprise Portal, so long as they are an authorized member of such Enterprise Portal. Portal Administrators may delete the User Content of one or more users in their Enterprise Portal.

Additional Goods & Services

CSODF and its authorized Partners, may from time to time offer goods and services through DR+, NPR+, or VR+, available via subscription and/or a la carte (“Third Party Transaction”).  All transactions conducted in connection with this aspect of DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady are subject to and governed by such guidelines as CSODF posts from time to time (the “Guidelines”), as well as this Agreement.  The Guidelines are subject to change without prior notice at any time, in CSODF’s sole discretion, so you should review the Guidelines before each Third Party Transaction.  Your engagement in any Third Party Transaction is deemed your acceptance of such Guidelines.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady. Parties to a Third Party Transaction are solely responsible for all interactions with each other, for arranging for payment and the exchange of the goods or services purchased if applicable, and for the results and performance of any transaction or relationship entered into with Third Parties through DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady.  You acknowledge that CSODF, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, licensors, suppliers, co-branders or other partners, employees, successors and assigns (the “CSODF Parties”) are not responsible or liable for any action or inaction of any Third Party to a transaction, for any failure to perform, to pay any amounts due, or to deliver any merchandise or services as promised, or for any other aspect of a Third Party Transaction. The capability to conduct Third Party Transactions or otherwise deal with Third Parties through DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady is provided by CSODF “as is” expressly without warranties of any kind (including the availability of the marketplace) and any such transactions and dealings are at your own risk.

However, please note that your purchases of products or services from Third Parties through DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, VolunteerReady are subject to the terms of sale of those Third Parties, as those transactions are strictly between you and the other party to the transaction.  In connection with any such purchases of products or services from Third Parties, DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady is a passive conduit.

Entire Agreement.  The Agreement, including the Privacy Policy, the information provided to you and by you during the sign-up process and during the upgrade/downgrade of your account, and any other documents that are incorporated into this Agreement by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and CSODF and governs your use of DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady, superseding any prior agreements between you and CSODF (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Agreement).  You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use other CSODF services, Third Party Content, third-party software or third-party services offered through DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady.

Choice of Law and Forum.  You and CSODF each agree that this Agreement and the relationship between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions and that any and all claims, causes of action or disputes (regardless of theory) arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the relationship between you and CSODF, shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in the county of Los Angeles, California or the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. You and CSODF agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Los Angeles, California or the Central District of California, and agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over the parties by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Waiver and Severability of Terms.  The failure of CSODF to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Agreement or incorporated documents 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 the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
