The Website is provided for informational purposes only. No portion of the Website is intended to convey, nor should it be construed as containing, legal advice. The provision of the Website is not intended to create, and does not establish, an attorney-client relationship with you.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY IN SUCH REGARD.

We may, without your consent, assign these Terms and/or assign any rights or delegate any duties to any entity, including one that acquires all or substantially all of our business or assets, whether by way of merger, acquisition of stock or assets, operation of law, or the like. Any assignment or delegation in contravention of the foregoing will be void and without effect.

Should any provision of these Terms be held to be void, invalid or inoperative, the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected and will continue in effect and the invalid provision will be deemed modified to the least degree necessary to remedy such invalidity.

You may not use any of our trademarks, trade names, service marks or any other like designation, nor may you disclose or disseminate these Terms, or the existence of these Terms, in any external publication or activity, without our prior written consent.

These Terms: (a) will be governed exclusively under the laws of Illinois applicable to contracts made, accepted, and performed wholly within Illinois, without application of principles of conflicts of laws; (b) in addition to the written agreement between us and your organization which permits you to access and use the subscriber portions of the Website (if there is such an agreement), constitute our entire agreement with respect to their subject matter, superseding all prior oral and written agreements between you and us in such respect; (c) may be amended or modified, and any right under these Terms may be waived, only by a writing issued by us; (d) contains headings only for convenience, which headings do not form part, and will not be used in the construction, of these Terms; (e) is not intended to inure to the benefit of any third-party beneficiaries; (f) may be enforced only in courts located within Illinois and we and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts, agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any jurisdictional or venue defenses; and (g) may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one instrument.

Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership or employer-employee relationship between you and us.

Any term or condition of these Terms that by its nature extends beyond the expiration or termination of your license rights will remain in effect until fulfilled and will bind you and us and each of our successors and permitted assigns. No actions, regardless of form, arising out of these Terms may be brought more than two (2) years after the cause of action has arisen.
