You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including "robots," "spiders," "deep-link," "page-scrape", "offline readers," or any other automatic device, program, algorithm or methodology, or any similar or equivalent manual process, to access, acquire, copy or monitor any portion of the Site or its content, or in any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Site or its content, to obtain or attempt to obtain any materials, documents or information through any means not purposely made available through the Site.

Additional terms and conditions may apply to purchases of goods or services and to specific portions or features of the Site, all of which terms are made a part of these Terms of Use by this reference.

Information provided to you on or through this Site is not intended to substitute for informed professional medical, psychiatric, psychological, investment, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice. If you submit a question or comment on such a topic, Unity will assume you are interested in soliciting and receiving or giving general information rather than professional advice. The applicability of such general information might vary substantially in different states or countries and according to the individual factual circumstances surrounding a particular question or comment. If you desire or require professional advice, you will consult a qualified provider who is licensed in your state or country.

All information on the Site is subject to change without notice at any time and from time to time.

You agree that In no event will Unity, its officers, directors, employees, or agents, be liable to you for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages whatsoever resulting from any errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content, personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to and use of the Site, any unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal information and/or financial information stored on the SiteÕs servers, any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Site, any bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, or the like, which may be transmitted to or through the Site by any third party, and/or any errors or omissions in any content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of your use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Site, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not Unity is advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.

You agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Unity, its subsidiaries and affiliates, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from your use of and access to the Site, your violation of any term of these Terms of Use, your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right, or any claim that one of your user submissions caused damage to a third party. This indemnification and defense obligation will survive these Terms of Use and your use of the Site.

You agree that Unity will not be liable for user submissions or the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party and that the risk of harm or damage from this conduct rests entirely with you. The Site is controlled and offered by Unity from its facilities in the United States of America. Unity makes no representations that the Site is appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you access or use the Site from jurisdictions other than the United States of America, you do so at your own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

You alone are responsible for the content of the messages you post to the iQuestions Community Kitchen, and any consequences of your messages. Unity does not undertake to monitor or review forums, and the content of these forums is not the responsibility of Unity. Unity reserves the right to terminate your registration if it becomes aware and determines, in its sole discretion, that you are violating any iQuestions Community Kitchen Forum Rules, policies or guidelines. The materials, information and opinions included and/or expressed in or on the iQuestions Community Kitchen Forum are not necessarily those of Unity, its affiliates or content providers. Unity may remove or modify any content without notice or liability at any time in its sole discretion. Any use of the Forum will be at your own risk and will be subject to the above disclaimers and limitations on liability.

You also agree that the messages, questions or comments you submit and the responses Unity or its Experts provide will not form the basis for a professional-client relationship, including but not limited to attorney-client, physician-patient, or therapist-patient, and they will not be subject to standards or requirements of confidentiality and/or privilege associated with such relationships.

You agree that all matters relating to your access to or use of the Site, including all disputes, will be governed by the laws of the United States and by the laws of the State of Idaho without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. You agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in Ada County, Idaho, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue. Any claim under these Terms of Use must be brought within one year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses, except that the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees. In the event of any controversy or dispute between you and Unity arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, you and Unity will attempt, promptly and in good faith, to resolve any such dispute. If you and Unity are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty days), then either you or Unity may submit such controversy or dispute to mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, then you and Unity will be free to pursue any right or remedy available under applicable law.

In the event that any of these Terms of Use conflicts with the law under which the Terms of Use are to be construed or if any such provisions are held invalid by a court with jurisdiction over you and Unity, such provision will be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of you and Unity in accordance with applicable law, and the remainder of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

Unity may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms of Use and upon such assignment Unity may be relieved of any further obligation hereunder.

These Terms of Use, including any additional Terms when posted on this Site by Unity, constitute the entire understanding between you and Unity as to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings. Any legally unenforceable provision of these Terms of Use will, at the election of Unity, be deleted or modified to correct the defect and, regardless, the remainder of the Terms of these Terms of Use will remain valid and enforceable.
