to third party content which is completely independent of DealMapper,

including web sites, directories, servers, networks, systems, information

and databases, applications, software, programs, products or services,

and the Internet as a whole. 

 

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through

the Service, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any

other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such

dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals.

before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these

third parties.

waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does

his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must

have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

The T&C constitute the entire agreement between you and DealMapper and

govern your use of the Service, superceding any prior agreements between you

and DealMapper. The T&C and the relationship between you and DealMapper

shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario without regard to

its conflict of law provisions. You and DealMapper agree to submit to the

personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the Province of Ontario. The failure of DealMapper to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the T&C shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the T&C is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the T&C remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the T&C must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

 

 

18. VIOLATION OF TERMS AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

 

Please report any violations of the T&C, by flagging the posting(s) for

review, or by emailing to:

 

admin@DealMapper.org

 

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

 

You understand and agree that, because damages are often difficult to quantify, if it becomes necessary for DealMapper to pursue legal action to enforce these Terms, you will be liable to pay DealMapper the following amounts as liquidated damages, which you accept as reasonable estimates of DealMappers' damages for the specified breaches of these Terms:

 

a. If you post a message that (1) impersonates any person or entity; (2)

falsely states or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or

entity; or (3) that includes personal or identifying information about

another person without that person's explicit consent, you agree to pay

DealMapper one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) for each such message. 

This provision does not apply to Content that constitutes lawful non-deceptive parody of public figures.

 

b. If you post Content in violation of the T&C, other than as described

above, you agree to pay DealMapper one thousand dollars ($1000) for each

Item of Content posted.  In its sole discretion, DealMapper may elect

to issue a warning before assessing damages.

 

c. If you are a Posting Agent that uses the Service in violation of the

T&C, in addition to any liquidated damages under clause (d), you agree to

pay DealMapper one thousand dollars ($1000) for each and every Item you post

in violation of the T&C.  A Posting Agent will also be deemed an agent of

the party engaging the Posting Agent to access the Service (the

"Principal"), and the Principal (by engaging the Posting Agent in

violation of the T&C) agrees to pay DealMapper an additional one thousand

dollars ($1000) for each Item posted by the Posting Agent on behalf of

the Principal in violation of the T&C.

 

d. If you aggregate, display, copy, duplicate, reproduce, or otherwise

exploit for any purpose any Content (except for your own Content) in

violation of these Terms without DealMapper's express written permission,

you agree to pay DealMapper ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each day

on which you engage in such conduct.

 

Otherwise, you agree to pay DealMapper's actual damages, to the extent such

actual damages can be reasonably calculated. Notwithstanding any other

provision of these Terms, DealMapper retains the right to seek the remedy

of specific performance of any term contained in these Terms, or a preliminary or permanent injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in these Terms, or any combination thereof.
