These Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”) are between you and Associated Insurance Management, LLC (“AIM”) concerning your use of the website currently located at aimcommercial.com and any other websites owned or operated by or on behalf of AIM (the “Websites”), and the software applications made available by or on behalf of AIM for use on or through computers and mobile devices (the “Apps”). The Sites and Apps (and any materials and services made available by AIM through them) are referred to collectively in these Terms of Service as the “Online Properties.”
Your use of the Online Properties constitutes your consent and agreement to these Terms of Service. AIM may change these Terms of Service at any time. Any changes will become effective when the revised Terms of Service are posted on the Online Properties or you are otherwise notified of such changes. Your use of the Online Properties following these changes means that you accept the revised Terms of Service.
IF YOU ARE USING THE ONLINE PROPERTIES ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER ORGANIZATION, THEN YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ORGANIZATION TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.
The Online Properties are controlled and operated from the United States, and are not intended to subject AIM to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States. The Online Properties and Products (as defined below) may not be appropriate or available for use in some non-U.S. jurisdictions. You must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in using the Online Properties and Products.
You must not post, transmit or otherwise make available any materials through or in connection with the Online Properties that may be illegal or objectionable to AIM; or use the Online Properties in any manner that may be illegal or objectionable to AIM. •
Prohibited materials include, without limitation:
any computer code, file, or program that is or may be harmful or invasive or intended to damage or hijack the operation of, or to monitor the use of, any hardware, software or equipment.
Prohibited activities include, without limitation:
The Online Properties may make available listings, links, services, and descriptions and images of goods or services (collectively, “Products”). Such Products may be made available by third parties (“Third Party Products”). THE ONLINE PROPERTIES AND ANY PRODUCT AND THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. AIM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE ONLINE PROPERTIES AND ANY PRODUCTS AND THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: THAT THE ONLINE PROPERTIES WILL BE UPDATED, COMPLETE, CORRECT, OR SECURE; AND THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND TITLE. ALL DISCLAIMERS OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING IN THIS SECTION AND ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE) ARE MADE ON BEHALF OF BOTH AIM AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AFFILIATED ENTITIES”).
Use of Third Party Products
YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS IS SUBJECT TO ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND POLICIES APPLICABLE TO SUCH THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS (SUCH AS TERMS OF SERVICE OR PRIVACY POLICIES OF THE PROVIDERS OF SUCH THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS).
Registration; User Names and Passwords
You may need to register to use all or part of the Online Properties. Unauthorized access or use of such portions of the Online Properties is prohibited. Your user name and password are for your personal use only and should be kept confidential and secure. You must promptly notify AIM of any confidentiality breach or unauthorized use of your user name or password, or your account.
Submissions
You represent and warrant that any information you provide through or in connection with the Online Properties (each, a “Submission”) is and will remain accurate and complete, and you will update such information as needed. For each Submission you make, you hereby grant to AIM a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable and fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license, without additional consideration to you or any third party, to reproduce, distribute, perform and display (publicly or otherwise), create derivative works of, adapt, modify and otherwise use and exploit such Submission, in any format or media now known or hereafter developed, and for any purpose. The above license grant applies to all Submissions; but, for the avoidance of doubt, any personal data submitted through the Online Properties remains subject to the AIM Privacy Policy, located here.
Transactions
AIM may make available the ability to make payments in connection with certain Products through the Online Properties (a “Transaction”). If you wish to make a Transaction, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your credit card number and its expiration date, your billing address and your shipping information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD THAT YOU SUBMIT IN CONNECTION WITH A TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to AIM the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating Transactions. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the Online Properties, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. In addition, you are responsible for any taxes applicable to your Transactions. While it is our practice to confirm orders and payments by e-mail, the receipt of an e-mail confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order or payment, or our confirmation of an offer to sell a Product.
Proprietary Rights
The Online Properties are protected by proprietary rights and laws. You may refer to, copy and use material on the Online Properties for personal, non-commercial purposes only and provided that your copies retain all copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices that appear on the original screens. Other trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, URLs, domain names and icons appearing on the Online Properties, whether registered or not, are owned by AIM or the Affiliated Entities. As between you and AIM, all aspects of the Online Properties are proprietary to AIM. Nothing contained on the Online Properties should be construed as granting any intellectual property rights to the Online Properties (or any portion thereof), including any right to use any of the trademarks appearing on the Online Properties, without the express prior written consent of the owner.
AIM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, USE OF DATA, LOSS OF OTHER INTANGIBLES, LOSS OF SECURITY OF SUBMISSIONS (INCLUDING UNAUTHORIZED INTERCEPTION BY THIRD PARTIES OF ANY SUBMISSIONS) BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, AIM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE ONLINE PROPERTIES OR FROM ANY PRODUCTS OR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE ONLINE PROPERTIES OR ANY PRODUCTS OR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS IS TO STOP USING THE ONLINE PROPERTIES. THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF AIM FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00). ALL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING IN THIS SECTION AND ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE) ARE MADE ON BEHALF OF BOTH AIM AND THE AFFILIATED ENTITIES.
Applicable law may not allow for limitations on certain warranties, or exclusions or limitations of certain damages; if such law applies to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have certain additional rights.
Indemnity
Except to the extent prohibited under applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless AIM and the Affiliated Entities from and against all claims, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of (a) your use of, or activities in connection with, the Online Properties (including all Submissions); and (b) any violation or alleged violation of these Terms of Service by you.
Termination
These Terms of Service are effective until terminated. AIM may terminate or suspend your use of the Online Properties at any time and without prior notice, including if AIM believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Upon any such termination or suspension, your right to use the Online Properties will immediately cease, and AIM may, without liability to you or any third party, immediately deactivate or delete your user name, password and account, and all associated materials, without any obligation to provide any further access to such materials.
Governing Law; Arbitration
The terms of these Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of your location. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR AND ARE FILED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING EXCLUSIVELY OUT OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT AIM AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as amended by these Terms of Service. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by AIM that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination will be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms of Service and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Terms of Service, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. The courts of the state of Maryland will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claim, dispute or matter of difference that may arise out of or in connection with the arbitration. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Service will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against AIM for you.
