Terms of Use
WE LOVE TEXAS
and its affiliates, successors, parents, subsidiaries, assigns,
licensees, and designees (collectively and individually "WLT")
provide you access to the WE LOVE TEXAS web site subject to the
terms and conditions of use set forth below (the "Terms of
Use"). WLT offers certain services via the Site. You agree
to read the Terms of Use carefully before using the Site or the
Services. By using the Site and the Services, you agree to abide
by the Terms of Use, as follows:
1. Fees and
Costs
General Public
Currently, WLT provides the Services on the welovetexas.com web
site for free to parties seeking Texan products sold by Texas Small
Businesses.
Parties Seeking
Membership
WLT charges Texas Small Businesses a $25 monthly fee for a BASIC
Membership, a $35 monthly fee for a WRANGLER Membership, and a $50
monthly fee for a TRUE TEXAN Membership. You are responsible for
paying any applicable fees and taxes and for all hardware, software,
service and other costs you may incur in connection with the Services,
including costs incurred in connecting to the Sites via the Internet.
WLT reserves the right, at any time, to charge or modify fees for
access to the Site or for any of its Services. WLT will notify you
of any such fees by posting information regarding such fees on the
Sites.
2. Content
Guidelines/Prohibited Uses
Content Guidelines.
You agree not
to post, upload or transmit to the Site or to WLT'S servers any
communications, text, graphics or other information (collectively,
"Material") that:
- is obscene,
fraudulent, indecent, discourteous, racially offensive, or abusive;
- defames,
abuses, harasses or threatens others;
- contains
any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or
other disabling devices or other harmful component intended to
damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept
or expropriate any system, data or personal information;
- advocates
or encourages any illegal activity;
- infringes
upon the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, publicity
right or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any
third party;
- violates
the privacy of individuals, including other users of the Sites;
or
- violates
any applicable local, state, national, or international law.
WLT in its sole
discretion shall determine your compliance with the foregoing guidelines
and reserves the right to delete from the Site without prior notice
any material that it deems to be non-complying or otherwise objectionable
for any reason. WLT may take any action with respect to the Material
if WLT believes, in its sole discretion, that the Material may create
liability for itself or any third parties or may cause WLT to lose
(in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs, vendors or advertisers.
Other Restrictions
on Use.
You shall comply
with all laws and regulations applicable to your use of the Services,
the Site, and the Material. You are not permitted to use WLT'S name,
URL, trademarks or other material in any manner, including, without
limitation, in connection with "spam" e-mail messages
or newsgroup postings. For the purposes of these Terms of Use, "spam"
has the meaning generally understood among Internet users, and includes
without limitation unsolicited electronic mail advertisements. You
may not impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load
(as determined by us in light of the load imposed by other users
generally) on WLT'S infrastructure. You may not use any "bot"
or other automated repetitive or iterative mechanism or the like
to gain any sort of benefit from WLT or any of its business affiliates.
3. Links
to Third-Party Sites
Any third-party
sites to which the Sites may link are not under WLT'S control, and
WLT does not assume any responsibility or liability for any information,
content, communications or materials available on such third-party
sites. Absent express language to the contrary, WLT does not intend
links contained on the Sites to be referrals to, or endorsements
of, the linked third-party sites or the entities that operate them,
and such links are provided for convenience only.
4. DISCLAIMER
AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
THE SERVICES,
INFORMATION, CONTENT, OR OTHER DATA OF ANY KIND OR NATURE MADE AVAILABLE
AT THE SITES (COLLECTIVELY, "INFORMATION") ARE PROVIDED
"AS IS", AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED ARE DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WLT MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION
OR GUARANTY AS TO THE CONTENT, SEQUENCE, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS OR
COMPLETENESS OF THE SITES OR THE INFORMATION OR THAT THE INFORMATION
MAY BE RELIED UPON FOR ANY REASON. WLT MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION
OR GUARANTY THAT USE OF THE SITES, THE SERVICES OR THE INFORMATION
WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, VIRUS-FREE OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT
ANY DEFECTS CAN BE CORRECTED. WLT CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRE THROUGH USE OF OUR SERVICES. WLT IS NOT
AND WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES ARISING
OUT OF CONTACTING OR MAKING ASSOCIATIONS WITH USERS OF THE SITES.
ALL INFORMATION IS SUBMITTED VOLUNTARILY AND THIS INFORMATION WILL
BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ALL RISKS FOR MAKING THIS INFORMATION
AVAILABLE WILL BE BORNE BY YOU, THE USER. IF A DISPUTE SHOULD ARISE
BETWEEN YOURSELF AND ANOTHER USER YOU RELEASE WLT FROM ANY CLAIMS
OR DAMAGES (ACTUAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN,
SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED ARISING FROM
SUCH A DISPUTE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION 5, WLT SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR:
- any loss
or injury caused, in whole or in part, by its actions, omissions,
or negligence, or for contingencies beyond its control, in procuring,
compiling, or delivering the Information, the Sites or the Services;
- any errors,
omissions, or inaccuracies in the Information regardless of how
caused, or delays or interruptions in delivery of the Information;
- any decision
made or action taken or not taken in reliance upon the Information
furnished hereunder;
- any losses
or damages whatsoever, whether in contract, tort or otherwise,
from the use of, or reliance on, the Information, or from the
use by you of the Internet generally;
- any special
or consequential damages that are directly or indirectly related
to the use of, or the inability to use, the Services or the Sites,
even if WLT has been advised of the possibility of such damages;
or
- any lost
profits or special, incidental or consequential damages (no matter
how they might arise, including from WLT'S negligence) arising
out of or in connection with the Information, the Services, the
Sites or the Terms of Use.
Notwithstanding
any provision of these Terms of Use to the contrary, WLT'S total
liability to you is limited to $100. Some states do not allow the
foregoing limitations of liability, so they may not apply to you.
Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so
the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights and you also may have other legal rights
which vary from state to state.
5. Privacy
and Communications to the Sites
Any communication,
information or other material you transmit or post to the Sites,
by electronic mail or otherwise (other than personally identifiable
information about you), including any answers to questions, comments,
suggestions, or other data supplied by you is, and will be treated
as, non-confidential and non-proprietary. You hereby grant to WLT
a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual fully paid-up license to use
any such communication, information or material for any purpose,
including, but not limited to, reproduction, disclosure, transmission,
publication, distribution, advertising, marketing, promotion, research,
broadcast, display, modification, syndication, licensing and posting.
WLT'S use of personally identifiable information, as well as WLT'S
use of cookies and other tracking methods, is governed by the terms
of WLT'S Privacy Policy. By accepting the Terms of Use, you expressly
consent to WLT'S use of your information, as enumerated in WLT'S
then-current privacy policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Because WLT'S Privacy Policy may change from time to time, you should
also review it regularly for updates.
6. Representations

You represent
and warrant that:
- you have
full right and power to enter into and perform these Terms of
Use, and have secured all third party consents necessary to enter
into these Terms of Use;

assertions that you have made and will make to WLT are true and
complete; and
- you are of
the age of majority, have the right to enter into legally binding
agreements, and have the full and complete right to agree to the
Terms of Use.
7. Termination
WLT reserves
the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice
for any or no cause, at any time. Without limiting the preceding
sentence, WLT may terminate your use of the Services or access to
the Sites immediately and without notice if: (a) you breach the
Terms of Use; (b) you infringe the intellectual property rights
of a third party in connection with the Services; (c) WLT is unable
to verify or authenticate any information you provide to it, or
(d) any material uploaded or transmitted by you to the Sites violates
any applicable laws or rights of any third party.
8. Governing
Law, Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution
The Terms of
Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
You and WLT agree that any and all disputes arising out of or related
to the Terms of Use shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the state and federal courts located in Erath County.
9. Changes
to the Services and the Site
WLT reserves
the right to change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the services
or the Site at any time, including the availability of any features,
databases or content. WLT will attempt to provide reasonable notice
of such changes to the Services or the Site. WLT may also impose
limits on features or restrict access to parts of the Site.
10. Modifications
to the Terms of Use
WLT may amend
these Terms of Use at any time by posting amended Terms of Use to
the Sites. The amended Terms of Use shall be effective immediately

12. Miscellaneous
Your sole remedy
for any breach of these Terms of Use by WLT shall be an action at
law for money damages, if any. In no event shall you be entitled
to injunctive or other equitable relief based on any act or omission
of WLT, or any breach of these Terms of Use by WLT. These Terms
of Use constitute the entire understanding of you and WLT with respect
to the subject matter hereof. There are no understandings, agreements,
conditions or representations, oral or written, express or implied,
with reference to the subject matter hereof that are not merged
herein, expressly referenced herein, or superseded hereby. Nothing
contained in these Terms of Use shall be construed as creating any
agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise
between you and WLT. The provisions of these Terms of Use are independent
of each other and the invalidity of any provision or a portion thereof
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
In the event that any particular provision is found to be invalid
or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to have been replaced
with a valid and enforceable provision that approximates as closely
as possible the intent of you and WLT as reflected in the original
provision. Any delay or failure on the part of WLT to enforce any
rights hereunder to which it may be entitled shall not be construed
as a waiver of the right and privilege to do so at any subsequent
time. You indemnify and hold harmless WLT, and the officers, directors,
employees, partners, principals, agents and representatives of WLT,
from, against and in respect of any and all demands, claims, actions
or causes of action, liabilities, losses, and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to any breach
by you of any covenant, representation or warranty made pursuant
to these Terms of Use. All provisions which must survive in order
to give effect to their meaning, shall survive any expiration or
termination of these Terms of Use, including without limitation
all of your representations, warranties and indemnification obligations.
