LAMPS Terms of Use

This is the official Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) for the web-based software as a service provided by Landquest Group, Inc. dba HC Info (“HC Info”) and commonly referred to as “LAMPS,” which includes its use for: (i) analytics, training, or reports; (ii) configuring, customizing, viewing, editing, auditing, or documenting a water management plan; or (iii) for any other purpose (all such uses are hereby collectively known as “the LAMPS Platform” or “the Platform” or “LAMPS”). “You” and “your” refer to you, the user of the LAMPS Platform. “We” and “our” refer to HC Info and/or its assigns.

This Agreement applies whether you are accessing the LAMPS Platform via a personal computer, a mobile device or any other technology or devices now known or hereafter developed or discovered (each, a “Device”). This Agreement governs the use of the content related to the Platform. These terms and conditions regarding your use of the Platform constitute a legally binding agreement between you and HC Info. In this Agreement, the term “Platform” includes all content of any nature within the Platform. By using the Platform, you understand, acknowledge and agree that you will abide by the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect as long as you are a user of the Platform. The words “use” or “using” in this Agreement, means any time an individual (a “user”), directly or indirectly, with or without the aid of a machine or device, does or attempts to access, interact with, use, display, view, print or copy from the Platform, transmit, receive or exchange data or communicate with the Platform, or in any way utilizes, benefits, takes advantage of or interacts with any function, service or feature of the Platform, for any purpose whatsoever. This Agreement does not cover your rights or responsibilities with respect to third party content. This is the entire and exclusive Agreement between you and HC Info regarding use of the Platform and it cannot be modified, except as specifically described below in Section 2.

1. Registration: We may require each user to have a unique username and password combination in order to access and use certain features or functions of the Platform and may also, from time to time, provide users with additional codes or passwords necessary to access and use certain features or functions of the Platform. Please read our Privacy Policy, which describes the personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”), and other information we collect, use, disclose, manage and store. As part of the registration process for a feature or function, you may have to choose a username and password (or we may assign an initial password which we will give you the option to change). Your username and password are personal to you and you may not allow any others to use your username or password under any circumstances. We are not liable for any harm caused or related to the theft or misappropriation of your username or password, disclosure of your username or password, or your authorization of anyone else to use your username or password. You agree to immediately notify us if you become aware of or believe there is or may have been any unauthorized use of (or activity using) your username or password or any other need to deactivate your username or password due to security concerns. Please note that we reserve the right to lock your LAMPS account if we suspect your username and password are being used by another party, including but not limited to a person with a company that has merged with or acquired your company.

2. Modifications: We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, for any reason in our sole discretion, to change the terms of this Agreement. We will post or display notices of material changes in the Platform and/or e-mail you or notify you upon login about these changes; the form of such notice is at our discretion. Once we post them on the Platform, these changes become effective immediately and if you use the Platform after they become effective it will signify your agreement to be bound by the changes. You should check back frequently and review the terms and conditions of this Agreement regularly so you are aware of the most current rights and obligations that apply to you and the terms and conditions of your agreement with us.

3. Ownership Of Intellectual Property: The contents and output of the Platform, including all software, design, source code, text, images, photographs, illustrations, audio and video material, artwork, graphic material, databases, data, analytics, results, reports (including both graphical and tabular output), all functions including water management plan creation, notifications, and auditing; proprietary information and all copyrightable or otherwise legally protectable elements and output of the Platform, including, without limitation, the selection, sequence and “look and feel” and arrangement of items, and all HC Info trademarks, service marks and trade names (individually and/or collectively, “Materials”), are the property of HC Info, its Affiliates, and any of their successors and assigns, and any of their respective licensors, suppliers, and service providers, and are legally protected, without limitation, under U.S. Federal and State, as well as applicable foreign laws, regulations and treaties.

In regards to any data input into the Platform and the data output of the Platform (collectively the “Data”), HC Info does not and will not sell or share such Data that a user enters or imports into the Platform. A user’s Data is used by HC Info for analytics and reports for that particular user’s benefit. HC Info takes all commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality, availability, and security of the Data. However and notwithstanding the foregoing, HC Info may apply analytics and/or machine learning for aggregate, anonymous Data, across all user sites. This may take into account the location(s) of a user’s site(s), which HC Info will limit to a 3-digit zip code in order to protect each user’s identity. This aggregate Data may also be used, free of charge or for a charge, for public health research or made available to government health officials, universities, or other researchers to study. Lastly, HC Info may use the Data for product enhancement purposes including but not limited to discovering key relationships between water quality parameters and the like.

Unless the context clearly requires otherwise or we explicitly say so in writing, the Platform includes “Materials” as detailed above as well. Water Management Plans (WMPs), Validation Data Analytics (VDA), Sensor Data Analytics (SDA), and Data Analytics and Automation (DAA) — as well as combinations of WMPs, VDA, SDA, and DAA — are sold by HC INFO on a site specific basis. Therefore, the purchase of access to a WMP, VDA, SDA, or DAA site from HC Info gives you a nonexclusive, nontransferable right to use the Platform WMP, VDA, SDA, or DAA sections to which access was purchased for one building or multiple buildings located on one campus, during the term purchased. For the avoidance of doubt it is understood that this limitation does not apply to the Platform’s Training Bundles and e-Learning Courses, which are sold on a per-user basis. Access to the Platform and any content, data, analytics, results or reports generated from it shall be used only by the registered users and may not be donated, sold, distributed, or commercially exploited in any form. You must not alter, delete or conceal any copyright or other notices contained in the Platform, including notices on any Materials you download, transmit, display, print or reproduce from the Platform. You shall not, nor will you allow any third party (whether or not for your benefit) to reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, display, perform, publish, distribute, disseminate, broadcast or circulate to any third party, or otherwise use, any Materials without the express prior written consent of HC Info. Any unauthorized or prohibited use of any Materials may subject you to civil liability, criminal prosecution, or both, under applicable federal, state and local laws. We require users to respect our copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. We likewise respect the intellectual property of others. On notice, we will act expeditiously to remove content from the Platform that infringes the copyright rights of others and will disable the access to the Platform and its services of anyone who uses them to repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others. We take protection of copyrights, both our own and others, very seriously. We therefore employ multiple measures to prevent copyright infringement of this Platform and to promptly end any infringement that might occur. If you believe that the Platform contains elements that infringe your copyrights, please notify us immediately.

4. Rules of Conduct: Your use of the Platform is subject to all applicable local, state, national laws and regulations and, in some cases, international treaties. You are solely responsible for all activities, acts and omissions that occur in, from, through or under your username or password. You shall not use, allow, or enable others to use the Platform, or knowingly condone use of this Platform by others, in any manner that is, attempts to, or is likely to:

  • be libelous, defamatory, indecent, vulgar or obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit or sexually suggestive, racially, culturally, or ethnically offensive, harmful, harassing, intimidating, threatening, hateful, objectionable, discriminatory, or abusive, or which may or may appear to impersonate anyone else;
  • affect us adversely or reflect negatively on us, the Platform, our goodwill, name or reputation or cause duress, distress or discomfort to us or anyone else, or discourage any person, firm or enterprise from using all or any portion, features or functions of the Platform;
  • be used for advertising, marketing or offering goods or services, whether or not for financial or any other form of compensation;
  • use the Platform for the purpose of developing a product or service that competes in any manner with the Platform services;
  • transmit, distribute or upload programs or material that contain malicious code, such as viruses, time bombs, cancelbots, worms, trojan horses, spyware, or other potentially harmful programs or other material or information;
  • “frame,” “mirror,” copy or otherwise enable third parties to use the Platform or any component thereof as a service bureau or other outsourced service;
  • forge any TCP/IP packet header or part of the header information in any email or newsgroup posting for any reason;
  • violate any laws, regulations (including, without limitation, laws regarding the transmission of technical data or software exported from the United States), judicial or governmental order or any treaties, or violate or infringe upon any intellectual property rights, rights of publicity or privacy or any other rights of ours or of any other person, firm or enterprise; or use the Platform in any manner which violates or is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
  • modify, disrupt, impair, alter or interfere with the use, features, functions, operation or maintenance of the Platform or the rights of use and enjoyment of the Platform by any other person, firm or enterprise; or
  • collect, obtain, compile, gather, transmit, reproduce, delete, revise, view or display any material or information, whether personally identifiable or not, posted by or concerning any other person, firm or enterprise, in connection with their or your use of the Platform, unless you have obtained the express, prior permission of such other person, firm or enterprise to do so.
  • allow you to continue to use exported LAMPS control measures as part of your facility’s management software after the expiration of your WMP. In the event your LAMPS WMP is not renewed, you understand and agree that the exported LAMPS control measures must be removed from your facility management software within ninety (90) days of the expiration of your WMP. Please review Section 10 below regarding Exporting Control Measures. The Export feature of the Platform exports key control measure fields into a spreadsheet for the purpose of importing the measures into facility work order, CMMS, or other management software (Facility Management Software).

5. Platform Features: There may be portions of our Platform, content, functionality or features (“Platform Features”) that we make available to users such as webinars, reports, audits and other educational tools. While we can obviously change how, to whom and to what extent we make these Platform Features available at any time without any notice and in our sole discretion, so long as they are available to you, whenever you visit our Platform or take advantage of any of these Platform Features you agree not to download any content made available as part of the Platform Features and acknowledge that such content is available only for streaming viewing and, further, that you are bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement and our Privacy Policy.

6. Content: The Platform service and any deliverables, and any updates or maintenance releases thereof provided by us under this Agreement shall be made available only on a hosted basis and delivered only through electronic transfer. HC Info may host, allow access to or distribute water management plan procedures, policies, and other information; webinars, webinar recordings, training articles, e-Learning courses, reports, audits and other educational materials consisting of selected text, audio, video, and photographic content (“Content”) from the Platform that is provided over the Internet or hosted on the Internet. Certain software and hardware may be required for users to download and view and/or play our Content. Content is protected by U.S. Federal and State laws, and applicable foreign laws, regulations and treaties, and all rights in and to the Content are reserved to HC Info or the content provider. Content is available for your use only and you may not copy and/or transfer to a Device or through a Device to another Device. You shall not, nor will you allow any third party to, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, display, perform, publish, distribute, disseminate, broadcast or circulate to any third party, or otherwise use any Content except as expressly authorized in this Section. By your access to and use of the Content, you understand, acknowledge and agree that the Platform, HC Info and its Affiliates do not warrant that its Content will operate on all user equipment. Please see the “Disclaimer and Limitations of Liability” section below for further details..

7. Hyperlinks to Third Party Websites: The appearance, availability, or your use of URLs or hyperlinks referenced or included anywhere in the Platform or any other form of link or re-direction of your connection to, with or through the Platform, does not constitute an endorsement by, nor does it incur any obligation, responsibility or liability on the part of HC Info, any of its successors and assigns, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, licensors, Advertisers, suppliers, and operational service providers. We do not verify, endorse, or have any responsibility for any such third party websites, their business practices (including their privacy policies), or any goods or services associated with or obtained in connection with any such website, whether or not HC Info’s logo or sponsorship identification is on the third party website as part of a co-branding or promotional arrangement. If any third party website obtains or collects Personal Information from you, in no event shall we assume or have any responsibility or liability. Please read our Privacy Policy, which describes how the HC Info collects and uses your Personal Information and other information, and the nature of certain of our relationships.

8. Indemnification: Each party to this Agreement will be responsible for the negligent acts or omissions of its own employees, officers, or agents in the performance of this Agreement. Neither party will be considered the agent of the other and neither party assumes any responsibility to the other party for the consequences of any act or omission of any person, firm, or corporation not a party to this Agreement.

9. Exporting Control Measures: The LAMPS WMP control measure export feature exports key control measure fields into a spreadsheet for the purpose of importing the measures into facility work order, CMMS, cloud storage, Microsoft SharePoint, Salesforce, or other software (“Facility Management Software”). You understand that control measures in a given category (e.g., Domestic Water Maintenance) will be exported only if at least one measure in that category has been opened (in WMP Configuration, Control Measures) and saved by clicking the “Update” button. You are responsible for checking LAMPS for control measure updates and updating your control measures in both LAMPS and your Facility Management Software. You agree to use the control measures–whether exported using the LAMPS export feature, by cutting and pasting, or by any other means–only for the site for which the water management plan (WMP) was purchased and to remove the control measures from your Facility Management Software within ninety (90) days of the expiration of your LAMPS WMP subscription. During the export process you will be asked to click through and agree to these terms for Exporting Control Measures.

10. Exporting a WMP PDF. Water management plans (WMPs) exported to PDF from LAMPS may be used only for the one property for which the WMP was purchased and activated in LAMPS and may not be changed, reproduced, or distributed.

11. Emails: When you purchase a LAMPS product, are assigned an e-Learning course in LAMPS, or are added to a LAMPS WMP, VDA site, SDA site, DAA site, Training Center, or Partner Center, you agree to receive emails from us (LAMPS Emails). After a LAMPS order is placed, a receipt or invoice is automatically emailed to the purchaser. From time to time, we may email special messages to all LAMPS users, or users of specific LAMPS products, regarding updates to content or functions, upcoming training webinars, site problems or maintenance, or other matters pertaining to the use of LAMPS. WMP users with configuration privileges can elect to receive notification emails about control measure verification that is not entered, overdue, or due soon. SDA users can elect to receive notification emails summarizing sensor data readings and/or notification emails about readings outside alarm levels. We may also send reminder emails about WMP, VDA, DAA, or SDA site renewals as a courtesy. We will endeavor to continue sending LAMPS Emails but it is not our responsibility or obligation to do so and we may cease sending them at any time, for any reason. Therefore, you are expected to calendar and track your own deadlines. HC INFO is not intended to be nor should it be the only source you rely on regarding control measure or other deadlines that must be met in a timely manner, site renewal reminders, or sensor reading reports or alerts. SDA alarms in the LAMPS Platform could be triggered much later than when the readings actually occurred; delays could be caused by the time interval at which the Platform checks the server account for readings, the time lag between the sensor and the controller, the time lag between the controller and your server account, and/or the API or other functionality of your server account. Given this, HC INFO assumes no responsibility for liability for any errors or omissions regarding LAMPS Emails. The information contained in LAMPS Emails is provided to you on an “as is” basis with no guarantees of completeness, accuracy, usefulness or timeliness and without any warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied. HC INFO does not warrant that LAMPS Emails and any information contained within them will be uninterrupted, error-free, omission free or free of viruses or other harmful items. If you wish to stop receiving reminder emails pertaining to WMP, VDA, SDA, or DAA site renewals, you can have your username (email address) removed from the WMP, VDA, or SDA site, or downgraded by changing the user type to “Non-Configuration” or “Audit/Read Only.” To stop receiving control measure verification notification emails, you can uncheck the control measure category boxes under your name on the “Manage Control Measure Verification Notification Emails” page in WMP Configuration, Control Measures. To stop receiving special messages emailed from LAMPS, you can cancel your LAMPS account. To stop receiving SDA report or alarm notification emails, you can change the settings for the applicable SDA notification(s) by clicking “Manage SDA Notification Emails” in the SDA section of site Configuration Step 2.

12. File Storage: LAMPS products that provide a mechanism and space for uploading files do so only as a courtesy. It is not our responsibility or obligation to provide document storage and we may cease doing so at any time, for any reason. We may also limit the number and size of files uploaded to the Platform. Further, although we endeavor to protect all LAMPS data and files, the Platform is not intended to be a document storage service. You should not rely on the Platform as the only place to store any document or file. You are expected to back up to your computer hard drive any files uploaded to the Platform. HC INFO assumes no responsibility or liability for lost or damaged files or for uninterrupted access to them.

13. Sensor Data Analytics: To use LAMPS sensor data analytics (SDA) and reports, you may need to enter the credentials of your server/sensor account from which you want to receive sensor/controller data into LAMPS. You give HC Info permission to store your account login information, receive data from the sensors/controllers in your server account, and use that data in LAMPS analytics per Section 3 above and other terms of this Agreement. Your server account password will be encrypted and inaccessible to other LAMPS users. HC Info will never ask for this password. HC Info is not responsible, legally or financially, for the accuracy of the data provided by the sensors, controllers, or cloud application associated with your server account. If the readings appear incorrect, check your sensor and other equipment and software, or consult with your server account provider. After your LAMPS site has expired, we have no obligation to process data transmitted from your sensors to LAMPS. As a courtesy, LAMPS continues to process transmitted sensor data for 30 days after a site has expired. If you renew your site 30 or more days after it has expired, sensor data transmitted between the expiration and renewal may be unrecoverable and thus excluded from your LAMPS reports.

14. API: Use of HC Info’s Application Programming Interface for its LAMPS Platform, together with any accompanying or related documentation and other materials (“API”), is subject to the following terms, conditions, and restrictions:

  • Your use of the API is non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable.
  • You may use the API solely for the purpose of sending data to, receiving data from, making calls to, or otherwise communicating and interoperating with the LAMPS Platform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
  • The API is solely for your internal use, and you may not distribute or disclose the API to any third party.
  • To use and access the API, you must obtain API credentials from HC Info (a “Key”). You may not share the Key with any third party, shall keep your Key and all login information secure, and shall use the Key as your sole means of accessing the API.
  • To access the API documentation (“API Documentation”), you must obtain API Documentation login credentials from HC Info. You may not share the API Documentation login credentials or API Documentation with any third party and shall keep your API Documentation login credentials and the API Documentation secure.
  • You will not and shall not attempt to: (i) interfere with, modify, or disable any features, functionality or security controls of the LAMPS Platform or the API, (ii) defeat, avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate or otherwise circumvent any protection mechanisms for the LAMPS Platform or the API, or (iii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or derive source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, structure or organizational form from the LAMPS Platform or the API.
  • You shall not use or assist your customers or any third party in using the API or any other software to circumvent any usage restrictions in the Platform’s user interface, including individual login requirements.
  • You are not permitted to use the API in any manner that does or could potentially undermine the security or performance of the LAMPS Platform, the API, or any data or information stored or transmitted using the LAMPS Platform or the API.
  • You shall not use or assist your customers or any third party in accessing or using the API or the LAMPS Platform in order to monitor the availability, performance, or functionality of any of the API or the LAMPS Platform or for any similar benchmarking purposes.
  • You will respect and comply with the technical and policy-implemented limitations of the API. Without limiting the foregoing, you shall not violate any explicit rate limitations on calling or otherwise utilizing the API.
  • You shall not make any modifications to any data transmitted using the LAMPS Platform or the API.
  • Except to the extent required by applicable law, neither you nor your software application(s) will (i) modify the content of any data received from the LAMPS Platform (“LAMPS Data”) in a manner that adversely affects the integrity of the LAMPS Data; (ii) disclose LAMPS Data to any third party, or (iii) use LAMPS Data for any unauthorized purpose.
  • You will maintain and handle all LAMPS Data in accordance with privacy and security measures reasonably adequate to preserve the confidentiality and security of all LAMPS Data.
  • The integrations between LAMPS and selected laboratories are available only as a courtesy to you, to allow your sample data to be transferred electronically to a laboratory and for test results to be transmitted electronically from the laboratory to your site in LAMPS. We are not responsible for any liabilities, claims, demands, suits, losses, damages, costs, attorney’s fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, travel costs, sampling time, laboratory analysis fees, remediation costs), or any other damages or costs arising from problems relating to the LAMPS-laboratory integration, including any data transfer problems of any nature.

15. Updates: At no charge to you, HC Info may at its sole discretion, install software updates deemed reasonably necessary to address errors, bugs, or other performance issues in the Platform, or to improve functions in the Platform (collectively, “Updates”). Updates (if any) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of this Agreement.

16. Water Management Regulations, Standards, and Guidelines: Although LAMPS has some water management plan control measures and other information specific to certain countries and regions outside of the U.S. and certain U.S. states, it may not include content for all standards and regulations related to building water system management in every country and region, including every U.S. state. It is your legal and financial responsibility to research, understand and comply with all regulations and standards that pertain to you and your facility(ies).

17. Service: HC Info will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the LAMPS Platform available with a monthly uptime percentage of at least 99%.

18. Retention of Data: HC Info retains customer data entered into WMP, VDA, SDA, and DAA sites for at least one year after a site expires. One year after termination of access to the Platform, we shall have no obligation to store customer-entered data and may, at our option, permanently delete or destroy the Materials and all data and information contained therein or associated therewith.

19. Refunds: If you are not completely satisfied with the LAMPS product you purchased or renewed, email [email protected] within 15 days of your order to request a cancellation of your subscription and refund of the price you paid. We will terminate your subscription and refund 100% of the purchase price we received, including the amount for the 15 days you had access, unless the refund request is for a water management plan that has been downloaded to a PDF or for an e-Learning course that has been completed, in which case no refund will be provided unless required by law. If the refund request is not submitted to [email protected] within 15 days of purchase, a refund will not be provided for the pre-paid remainder of the term, whether payment was for one year or a multi-year renewal, unless required by law.

20. Ads and Malware: We took great care and pride in creating the Platform. We are always on the lookout for technical glitches that affect how the Platform functions. When we find them on our end, we will fix them. Unfortunately, your home computer may cause some glitches that effect how you see our Platform – and that is beyond our control. If you experience any unusual behavior while using the Platform, it may be the result of Malware on your computer. Malware – short for MALicious softWARE – is a term used to broadly classify a form of software which is installed in a computer system with malicious intentions, usually without the owner’s knowledge or permission. Malware includes computer viruses, key loggers, malicious active content, rogue programs and dialers, among others. While we continuously work closely with our partners to ensure that everything is working properly, sometimes Malware programs on your personal computer may interfere with your use of the Platform. Please note that we cannot be responsible for the effects of any third-party software including Malware on your computer system. If you do discover any Malware on your system, we also suggest you speak with a qualified computer technician. If, after taking the above actions, you are still experiencing any problems, please feel free to contact us.

21. Privacy: We respect your privacy and the use and protection of your Personal Information. Please see our Privacy Policy for important information and disclosures relating to the collection and use of your Personal Information in connection with your use of the Platform.

22. Force Majeure: Neither Party will be liable for any failure or delay in performing an obligation under this Agreement that is due to any of the following causes, to the extent beyond its reasonable control: acts of God, accident, riot, war, terrorist act, epidemic, pandemic (including the COVID-19 pandemic), quarantine, civil commotion, breakdown of communication facilities, breakdown of web host, breakdown of internet service provider, natural catastrophes, governmental acts or omissions, changes in laws or regulations, national strikes, fire, explosion, or generalized lack of availability of raw materials or energy. For the avoidance of doubt, Force Majeure shall not include (a) financial distress nor the inability of either party to make a profit or avoid a financial loss, (b) changes in market prices or conditions, or (c) a party’s financial inability to perform its obligations hereunder.

23. Assignment: Without your consent and without notice to you, we may freely assign or transfer any or all of our rights and obligations under this Agreement to any party for any reason including but not limited to a merger, stock sale, change of control of HC Info, or sale of all or part of our assets.

24. No Guarantees or Warranties, Disclaimer and Limitations of Liability:

24.1   IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE PLATFORM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN, RESULTS, METRICS, REPORTS, AUDITS OR INFORMATION GENERATED FROM IT WILL NOT GUARANTEE THE ABSENCE OF: (i) LEGIONELLA OR ANY PATHOGEN; (ii) CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL HAZARDS; (iii) EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, OR (iv) PROPERTY DAMAGE. THUS, THE RECOMMENDATIONS, PLANS, RESULTS, METRICS, REPORTS, AUDITS AND OTHER INFORMATION SHOULD IN NO WAY BE INTERPRETED AS A GUARANTEE AGAINST EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR ILLNESS, INCLUDING LEGIONNAIRES’ DISEASE. MOREOVER, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LAMPS DEPENDS ON YOUR IMPLEMENTATION OF IT; LIKE ANY TOOL, THE EFFECTIVENESS AND SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE PERSON USING IT PROPERLY AND FULLY. IT IS NOT REALISTIC OR POSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE ALL RISKS.

24.2 THE PLATFORM DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL AVAILABLE PROCEDURES, METHODS, RECOMMENDATIONS OR MEASURES FOR THE CONTROL OF LEGIONELLA, OTHER PATHOGENS, CHEMICAL HAZARDS, OR PHYSICAL HAZARDS.

24.3 WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, HC INFO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY MALICIOUS CODE, DELAYS, INACCURACIES, ERRORS, OR OMISSIONS ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM.

25. Law that Applies to this Agreement; Miscellaneous Terms: This Agreement, together with any other regulations, procedures and policies which we refer to and which are hereby incorporated by reference, contains the entire understanding and agreement between you and HC Info and supersedes any and all prior or inconsistent understandings relating to the Platform and your use of the Platform. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this will not affect any other provisions and the Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable. Any provision which must survive in order to allow us to enforce its meaning shall survive the termination of this Agreement; however, no action arising out of this Agreement or your use of the Platform, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose). This Agreement and your use of the Platform is governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Washington (notwithstanding the State’s conflict of laws provisions) applicable to contracts made, executed and wholly performed in Washington, and, for the purposes of any and all legal or equitable actions, you specifically agree and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the State and Federal Courts situated in the State of Washington and King County and agree you will not object to such jurisdiction or venue on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, forum non conveniens or otherwise. To the extent it may be applicable, you agree to opt out from and expressly exclude any applicability of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED TO ENFORCE ANY RIGHT OR OBLIGATION OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER POSSESS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
