IN ADDITION, IVOLUNTEER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE REGARDING THE RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, QUALITY, SUITABILITY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OR GOODS REQUESTED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

YOU AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND ANY SERVICE OR GOOD REQUESTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, REMAINS SOLELY WITH YOU, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IVOLUNTEER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, RELATED TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF IVOLUNTEER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IVOLUNTEER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LIABILITY, OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF: (i) YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES, OR (ii) ANY TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND ANY VOLUNTEER OR ORGANIZATION, EVEN IF IVOLUNTEER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IVOLUNTEER IS LIMITED TO A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM THAT FACILITATES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN VOLUNTEERS WITH VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS, AND THAT IVOLUNTEER SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATIONS TO ORGANIZATIONS OR VOLUNTEERS WITH RESPECT TO THE INTERACTION BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL IVOLUNTEER’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). IVOLUNTEER’S SERVICES MAY BE USED BY YOU TO REQUEST AND SCHEDULE VOLUNTEER SERVICES BETWEEN VOLUNTEERS AND ORGANIZATIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BUT YOU AGREE THAT IVOLUNTEER HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY TO YOU RELATED TO ANY SUCH SERVICES PROVIDED FOR YOU OR BY YOU, OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMER IN THIS SECTION 4 DO NOT PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY OR ALTER YOUR RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold IVolunteer and its officers, directors, advisors, employees, volunteers, and agents harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), arising out of or in connection with: (i) your use of the Services or services or goods obtained through your use of the Services; (ii) your breach or violation of any of these Terms; (iii) IVolunteer’s use of your User Content; or (iv) your violation of the rights of any third party.
5. Other Provisions
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive and final statement of the agreement between you and IVolunteer with respect to the subject matter hereof, and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements or negotiations between you and IVolunteer with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Terms and the relationship between you and IVolunteer shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to any choice of laws or principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country or state. Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Terms, or your use of the Services, must be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Savannah, Georgia and in no other jurisdiction. You further consent to personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in, and agree to service of process issued or authorized by, any such court. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms 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 that the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms cannot be transferred or assigned by you without IVolunteer’s prior written consent. We may change the Terms or the IVolunteer Privacy Policy, from time to time. These Terms can only be modified upon IVolunteer’s written agreement.
Effective Date: June 12, 2020.
