You are responsible for all activities that occur during your use of the Service.

You agree that all information you provide during your use of the Site or Service is governed by Addison’s Privacy Policy (currently available at https://addisongroup.com/privacy-policy/) (the “Privacy Policy”), and you consent to all actions Addison takes with respect to your information consistent with the Privacy Policy.

If you choose or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of your use of the Site, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to this Site or portions of it using your username, password, or other security information. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

Prohibited Uses

It is a condition of using the Site and Service that you do not:

(a)  restrict or inhibit any other user from using or enjoying the Site or Service;

(b)  use the Site or Service to post or transmit any unlawful, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane or indecent content of any kind, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law;

Modification of Terms

Addison reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use at any time without further notice. Changes to these Terms of Use will be posted on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised.

Continued use of the Site after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use.

It is your responsibility to regularly check the Site to determine if there have been changes to these Terms of Use and to review such changes.

General Information

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and Addison regarding the use of the Site, superseding any prior agreements between you and Addison regarding the use of the Site. The failure of Addison to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance.

These Terms of Use are governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Illinois, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law. All disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use will be finally resolved by arbitration conducted in the English language in Chicago, Illinois under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties will appoint as sole arbitrator a retired judge who presided in the State of Illinois.  The parties will bear equally the cost of the arbitration (except that the prevailing party will be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration in such an amount as may be determined by the arbitrator). All decisions of the arbitrator will be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding this, an application may be made to any court for a judicial acceptance of the award or order of enforcement, and Addison will be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason is unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
