Last Revised: September [26], 2018

The following terms and conditions, (these “Terms”) are entered into by and between you and _Able Partners NYC, LLC (“_Able”, “we” or “us”).   These Terms govern your access to and use of our website (our “Site“) as well as our other services, offerings and other interactions (together with our Site, the “Services”). By accessing or using our Services, you are agreeing to these Terms and concluding a legally binding contract with _Able. Do not access or use our Services if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the Terms.

We reserve the right to update and revise these Terms at any time. We’ll make sure to also change the “Last Revised” date at the top of this page so you can tell if these Terms have changed since your last visit. Any such changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. Please review these Terms regularly because once we post any changes, your continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Access to Services

Registration

You must register and provide certain information about yourself in order to use some of the features that are offered through our Services.

  • All registration information you submit is truthful and accurate;
  • You will maintain the accuracy of such information; and
  • Your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

Your use of the Services means you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements we outline in these Terms. We may still refuse to let certain people access or use the Services. We may also change our eligibility criteria. We may also suspend or terminate your use of the Services as a result of your fraud or breach of any obligation under these Terms. Such termination or suspension may be immediate and without notice.

Use of the Services; Restrictions on Use; Termination

We grant you permission to use our Services subject to the restrictions in these Terms. Your use of our Services is at your own risk. Our Services may be modified, updated, interrupted, suspended or discontinued at any time without notice or liability.

We may from time to time in our sole discretion develop and provide updates to the Services, change the Services, restrict access to the Services (including to registered users) or withdraw or terminate the Services entirely, and we reserve the right to do so in our sole discretion without notice. Any such updates or changes will be deemed part of the Services and subject to all terms and conditions of these Terms. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services. In the event of modification or termination, you will still be bound by your obligations under these Terms, including the warranties made by you, and by the disclaimers and limitations of liability.

You may only use the Services as explicitly authorized and in compliance with any policies made available to you within the Services. You will not use such proprietary information or materials in any way whatsoever except for permitted use of the Services. No portion of the Services may be reproduced in any form or by any means.

You may terminate the Terms at any time by discontinuing your use of our Services and providing _Able with a written notice of termination to [info@ablepartners.nyc].

Events

As used below, the term “_Able Event” means an event, gathering, promotion, contest, meet-up or the like that is organized or hosted by _­­­Able. A “Non-_Able Event” means an event, gathering, promotion, contest, meet-up or the like that is organized or hosted by someone other than _Able, but that may appear or be listed on our Services. In order to participate or attend an _Able Event you must agree to the terms in this section. If you find that you cannot or will not agree to such terms, please do not RSVP to or attend any _Able Event. If you RSVP to any _Able Event or Non-_Able Event through our Services, you signal that you have read, understand and agree to these event terms.

Assumption of risk/release of liability/indemnity

You understand that your attendance and participation at _Able Events is voluntary, and you agree to assume responsibility for any resulting injuries to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. By the same token, you agree that _Able is not responsible for any injuries you might sustain at Non-_Able Events listed on our Services.

You (for yourself, your heirs, personal representatives, or assigns, and anyone else who might make a claim on your behalf) hereby release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue, _Able and its respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, agents, employees, vendors, sponsors and volunteers from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may arise out of, result from, or relate in any way to your attendance at _Able Event or Non-_Able Event, except for any gross negligence or willful misconduct on our part.

You further agree to indemnify and hold _Able, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives harmless, including costs, liabilities and legal fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to, related to, or connected with your attendance or conduct at any _Able Event or Non-_Able Event.

Photos

_Able and its sponsors and vendors sometimes take photos and videos at _Able Events, and later use them for promotional purposes. By participating or attending any _Able Event, you agree that you may appear in some of these photos and videos, and you authorize their use in this fashion. In addition, if you take any photos or videos of attendees at an _Able Event and provide them to us, you authorize us to use them in the same fashion, and represent that the attendees that appear in your photos and videos have consented to such use. We do not control Non-_Able Events or the people that organize them. It is possible that organizers or attendees of Non-_Able Events will take photos or shoot videos in which you appear and then post them online (including, possibly, on our Services). By RSVP’ing to a Non-_Able event through our Services, you authorize _Able’s use of such media for promotion purposes.

Termination

While we hope not to, we may prohibit your attendance at any _Able Event at any time if you fail to abide by the Terms, or for any or no reason, without notice or liability of any kind. We reserve the right to cancel any _Able Event at any time, for any reason, and without liability or prejudice.

Links to Third Party Websites

We may provide links to third party websites or services for you to access. You acknowledge that any access is at your sole discretion and for your information only. We do not review or endorse any of those websites or services. Although a third party website may contain _Able’s logo or other intellectual property elements, please understand that it is independent from _Able and that _Able has no control over the content of that website. These links do not imply endorsement of, sponsorship of, or affiliation with _Able.
