Service Terms and Conditions

Introduction and Acceptance

From time to time, the Livestrong Foundation (“Foundation”) may provide you with the opportunity to use certain services via one or more of its websites (“Services”). Some of these Services include the ability to use website development tools, to access a fundraising web space that can be personalized with your own content in order to create a personal webpage (“Personal Homepage”), and to create unique videos using Foundation-provided content and music as well as your own personal pictures (“Videos”). The term “Services” includes any tools, pictures, information, and other content provided by the Foundation in connection with the Services.

A limited license to use the Services shall be granted to you free of charge on the express condition that you accept, without modification, and abide by these Service Terms and Conditions (“Service Terms”). If you do not agree to these Service Terms, please do not use any of the Services. By using any of the Services, you agree that you have read, understood and agree unconditionally to be bound by these Service Terms, and further understand and agree that these Service Terms are in addition to our general Terms of Use, and that your use of each of the Services is subject to both these Service Terms and our general Terms of Use.

Please read these Service Terms carefully. From time to time and at its sole discretion, the Foundation reserves the right to change these Service Terms for any reason, with or without notice to you. However, if the Service Terms change, we will always post the revised Service Terms on our website www.Livestrong.org (our “Main Website”) or another website that we designate as the successor Main Website. This means that the then-current Service Terms posted on the Main Website will always be the governing Service Terms. We encourage you to review the Service Terms regularly for any changes. Your continued use of the Services will mean acceptance of any changes we make to the Service Terms. You may view a printable version of these Service Terms by clicking here.

You may withdraw your consent to these Service Terms or the general Terms of Use at any time for any reason by providing written notice to us using the contact information provided below. In such event, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to promptly remove any content that you have stored on our websites or servers (including, without limitation, any videos or pictures that you have stored) and/or discontinue allowing access by third parties to such content (including, without limitation any Videos or Personal Homepages), and the provisions regarding termination below will apply.

If you have any questions about our Service Terms or would like to withdraw your consent to these Service Terms or the general Terms of Use, you may email us or write to:

Foundation Rights and Limitation of Liability

The Foundation reserves the right to establish general practices and limits concerning the Services and user accounts at any time (and may modify such practices and limits at its sole discretion), including without limitation the maximum number of days that your or any third-party’s information, pictures, content or email will be retained and the maximum amount of disk space that will be allotted on the Foundation’s servers on your behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that the Foundation shall have no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to deliver or store your Personal Homepage or Video, or any information, pictures, content or email provided by or stored by you on your Personal Homepage or in connection with your Video, regardless of whether such deletion or failure was due to the established practices or limits of the Services or as a result of error, intentional misconduct, or negligence of the Foundation.

You acknowledge that the Foundation reserves the right to log off accounts that are inactive for an extended period of time and reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify or discontinue, either temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that the Foundation shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services.

IN NO EVENT SHALL LAF’S AGGREGATE AND COMPLETE LIABILITY TO YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY AND ALL OF ITS SERVICES PROVIDED VIA THIS WEBSITE, HOWEVER ARISING, EXCEED A MAXIMUM OF $10.00.

Upon termination, the Foundation will have no further obligation or responsibility to you with respect to the Services terminated, and you will have no further obligation or responsibility to the Foundation with respect to the Services terminated; provided, however, the foregoing statement does not apply to any liability, responsibility, or obligation of either party existing or arising prior to the effective date of termination.

Unless expressly set forth otherwise, no right or remedy granted by any provision of these Service Terms is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy provided in these Service Terms or otherwise, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right remedy provided in these Service Terms, at law, in equity, or otherwise, and the election of any one right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of any right to pursue other rights or remedies under these Service Terms, at law, in equity, or otherwise.

Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any failure to perform its obligations under these Service Terms if such failure was the result of an act, occurrence, or other event outside of its reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of God, fire, severe weather, and other natural disaster and events; accidents, acts of government, war, warlike conditions, terrorism, and public disorder; a failure or error in the operation, of all or any part of the website, Foundation computer systems, logistics infrastructure, network resources, the Services, or any other computer systems or network resources to which they may be connected or upon which they may rely, and the taking offline of any of those computer systems or network resources when necessary; and any circumstances which produce or have the consequence of producing a degradation, fall-off, or complete severance of access to this website or network resources or any other computer systems or network resources to which they may be connected by any person.

Ownership of Videos

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Service Terms, you acknowledge and agree that the Foundation shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all intellectual property rights in and to the Videos, except with respect to any of Your Property that is incorporated into the Video, to which the Foundation is granted the license set forth above. You hereby assign and transfer any and all right, title and interest you may have in any Video that you create (with the exception of any of Your Property) and agree to deliver promptly to the Foundation any written instruments and perform any other acts necessary in the Foundation’s reasonable opinion to vest with the Foundation all of your right, title and interest in any Video that you create to the greatest extent possible.
