You agree to review these Terms periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes. Your continued consent to receive CPAC AP text messages will indicate your acceptance of those changes.

Release; No Warranties; Limitation of Liability  

By participating in the Program, you agree to release and hold harmless CPAC AP and its representatives, agents, successors, assigns, employees, officers, and directors from any and all liability for loss, harm, damage, injury, attorneys’ fees, cost, or expense whatsoever including, without limitation, property damage, personal injury, and death that may occur in connection with the Program, or your use thereof, and for any claims, matters, or disputes based on violation of law or infringement or violation of any rights of any person or entity, including, without limitation, violation of publicity rights, defamation, or invasion of privacy.

CPAC AP makes no representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the Program. CPAC AP hereby disclaims all warranties, including any implied representations or warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

In no event shall CPAC AP be liable to you or to any third party for any losses or damages whatsoever arising out of or resulting from the Program, or your use thereof, regardless of the theory of recovery, including, without limitation, direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or special damages, lost profits, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, or any damages arising out of or resulting from a statutory or regulatory violation, negligence, gross negligence, strict liability, tortious conduct, willful misconduct or fraud, breach of contract, or breach of warranty. To the extent this damage waiver is contrary to applicable law, your or any third party’s maximum recovery for any losses or damages whatsoever arising out of or resulting from the Program, or your use thereof, regardless of the theory of recovery is $0.01 per incident. 

 

Applicability of Law

These terms shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except for the terms of arbitration below, which are subject to the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) because the Program involves interstate commerce.

 

Arbitration/Class Action Waiver 

You agree that any and all claims arising from or relating to this agreement, your relationship with CPAC AP, and/or the Program shall be subject to binding arbitration under the FAA. This includes claims based on contract, tort, equity, or statute as well as claims regarding the scope and enforceability of this provision. It includes all claims by or against you, CPAC AP, or CPAC AP entities. A single arbitrator shall decide all claims and shall render a final, written decision. You may choose the American Arbitration Association (AAA), the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS), or another similar arbitration service provider acceptable to CPAC AP to administer the arbitration. Consistent with the FAA, the appropriate AAA rules, JAMS rules, or rules of another service provider shall apply, as determined by the arbitrator. For AAA and JAMS, these rules are found at adr.org and at jamsadr.com. Each party to the arbitration shall pay his, her, or its own costs of arbitration unless prohibited by law or the applicable arbitration rules. If you cannot afford your arbitration costs, you may apply for a waiver under the relevant rules. The parties waive any right to bring representative claims on behalf of a class of individuals (a class action waiver). This arbitration provision may be severed or modified if necessary to render it enforceable. 

The resolution of any claims, matters, or disputes must proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims, matters, or disputes to proceed on a class action or collective basis or on bases involving claims, matters, or disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to claims, matters, and disputes between you and CPAC AP alone. Claims, matters, or disputes may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues, claims, matters, or disputes with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. 

 

Attorney Fees 

In the event of any claim, matter, or dispute between you and CPAC AP arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms, any calls or text messages between you and CPAC AP, or anyone acting on your or CPAC AP’s behalf, or the CPAC AP Program, you consent to waiving any claim for attorneys’ fees and litigation costs.
