TERMS OF USE
Last modified: January 26, 2025
Welcome! The All Things Cancer + Wellness Expo powered by the Byrd Cancer Education & Advocacy Foundation (collectively, “Company”) owns and operates the website cancerwellnessexpo.com, as well as any related websites and mobile applications (collectively, the “Properties,” and each, a “Property”), including all information, documents, text, audio, visual, and graphics (excluding Third Party Content, which is defined below) on the Properties (collectively, the “Materials”), as well as the software, products, and services offered and/or operated by Company and/or third parties through the Properties (collectively, the “Products and/or Services”), available for your use subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this document, or in force at the time of your use (collectively, the “Terms of Use”).
NOTICE REGARDING LIABILITY, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
These Terms of Use contain important information regarding limitations of our liability, your indemnification obligations, governing law, and mandatory dispute resolution procedures related to your use of the Properties and the Products and/or Services. These Terms of Use also include a class action waiver and require binding arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than lawsuits in court and jury trials.
BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PROPERTIES IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, EVALUATING, DOWNLOADING, PURCHASING, AND/OR USING ANY OF THE MATERIALS OR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, OR BY VIEWING THIRD PARTY CONTENT ACCESSIBLE VIA THE PROPERTIES, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE AND COMPANY’S PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE BELOW. IF YOU DON’T AGREE TO SUCH TERMS, WE REQUEST THAT YOU LEAVE THE PROPERTIES (AND REFRAIN FROM USING THE MATERIALS OR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES) IMMEDIATELY.
The Properties are intended for lawful use by persons over thirteen (13) years of age. If you are under the age of thirteen (13), please discontinue using the Properties immediately. The Company does not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under thirteen (13) years of age. If you are a child under thirteen (13) years of age, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use the Properties or Products and/or Services or send us any personal information. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under thirteen (13) years of age, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under thirteen (13) years of age may have provided us personal information, please contact us at [email protected].
Company reserves the right to change the Terms of Use and other Company guidelines and policies (including, but not limited to, the Privacy Policy available here and the Participation & Credential Terms and Conditions available here) posted on the Properties from time to time at its sole discretion, with or without notice. The revised Terms of Use and other revised guidelines and policies will be posted on the Properties. Any changes we make will be effective immediately when we post a revised version of the Terms of Use on the Properties. The “last modified” date above will tell you when the Terms of Use were last revised. By continuing to use the Properties after that date, you agree to the changes. To the extent that these Terms of Use differ from a prior version of the Terms of Use which you previously agreed to, this version of the Terms of Use supersedes and governs. Please periodically check the Terms of Use and policies on Company’s Properties to view the current version. Any dispute between you and Company will be governed by the Terms of Use agreed to at the time of your purchase or, if you have made no purchase, at the time of your use.
If you breach any of the Terms of Use, your authorization to use the Properties and any authorized use of Materials will automatically terminate, any Materials downloaded or printed from the Properties, whether authorized or unauthorized, must be immediately destroyed, and, in certain instances, you may also be required to immediately stop using Company’s Products and/or Services. Company reserves the right to pursue any additional remedies available in law or equity.
Certain Products and/or Services available on or through our mobile Properties are available only to persons who have purchased or subscribed to them on a subscription basis (the “Subscribers”). The payment terms for any paid subscriptions will be communicated to you at the time you subscribe to such paid subscriptions. With respect to paid subscriptions, unless you opt out of auto-renewal, such paid subscriptions will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. You can change or resign your paid subscriptions at any time in the manner permitted through your mobile operating system. If you terminate a paid subscription, you may use your paid subscription until the end of your then-current term, and your paid subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION IN THE MANNER PERMITTED THROUGH YOUR MOBILE OPERATING SYSTEM BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING TERM. PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, COMPANY WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.
