USE OUTSIDE DEFINED AREA  

Please be aware that our Services are not authorized to be used or directed to any person or entity in any jurisdiction where (by reason of nationality, residence, citizenship or otherwise) the publication or availability of the Services and its content, including its products and services, are unavailable or otherwise contrary to local laws or regulations. If this applies to you, you are not authorized to access or use any of the information on the Services. Those who choose to access the Services do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. This Terms of Service is written in English.  To the extent any translated version of this Terms of Service conflicts with the English version, the English version controls. In the event you are using the Services outside of the United States, you agree as follows: (i) you consent to having your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States; (ii) if you are located in a country embargoed by the United States, or are on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of ‘Specially Designated Nationals’ you will not engage in commercial activities on the Services (such as advertising or payments); and/or (iii) you will not use the Services if you are prohibited from receiving products, services or software originating from the United States.

FEES

Purchases.  If you desire to purchase certain content and/or products, you may do so through the Services.  In such event, you agree that your order is an offer to buy the products and/or content listed pursuant to this Terms of Service.  All fees are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes payable. Failure to pay any fees may result in your inability to access or use the Services.  The price charged for certain content and/or products will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in the shopping cart and in your order confirmation email. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes, duties, charges or other similar expenses. All such taxes and charges will be added to your order total, and will be itemized in your shopping cart, if applicable.

Authorization to Charge for Services.

We may offer promotions from time to time through the Services that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from this Terms of Service. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and this Terms of Service, the promotion terms will govern. Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. We accept most major credit/debit cards for purchases. You represent and warrant that: (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete; (ii) you are duly authorized to use such credit card for the purchase; (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company; and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Service at the time of your order.  You represent and warrant that you are buying products and/or content from the Service for your own personal use only, and not for resale or export.

You authorize ITK to charge you through the payment method you select when making a purchase through the Services. If we do not receive payment from the payment method you select, you agree to pay all amounts due hereunder upon our demand and will be solely responsible for any dispute with your payment provider.

Payment Processing.

ITK uses a third-party payment platform to process payments. Your credit card information or other payment method will be processed and stored by our third-party payment processor, which is currently ‘Stripe’, but may be changed from time to time in our sole discretion. Stripe’s Terms of Service can be found at https://stripe.com/legal/checkout.  You expressly understand and agree that all payments and monetary transactions are handled by such third-party and the use of such platform is governed by the third-party’s terms and conditions and ITK shall have no liability related thereto. 

In the event you elect to pay the fees due hereunder via credit card, PayPal or ACH, you authorize ITK to automatically charge the payment account for the fees due and owing hereunder.  If your payment account on file is closed or the account information is changed, or if, for any reason, a charge is rejected by your payment account, you shall immediately update your payment account or supply a new payment account, as appropriate.  If you are unable to update the payment account with appropriate information, then ITK will suspend Services, without liability, until valid payment account information is provided.  If ITK believes that you have participated in a fraudulent chargeback, ITK will pursue its claims against you to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Taxes, Late Fees, Right to Suspend.

All fees are stated in United States Dollars and must be paid in United States Dollars.  All fees due and payable under this Terms of Service are exclusive of taxes, which will be added at the prevailing rate from time to time.  All fees due and payable by you to ITK hereunder must be paid in full without any deduction, set-off, counterclaim or withholding of any kind unless required by law.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the fees due hereunder are non-refundable. In the event fees are not paid in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, ITK may immediately suspend Services.

Disputes.  We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against ITK, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at library.help@impacttk.com.  The parties will try to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice, but if the parties are unable to resolve any claims related to this Terms of Service within such timeframe, you and/or ITK agree to resolve any claims related to this Terms of Service through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below and/or your ability to opt out as described below.

Opt-Out.  You can opt-out and decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting ITK within thirty (30) days from the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision (i.e.: the date you initially accepted this Terms of Service).  You must write us at Impact TK LLC, Attn: Opt-Out Arbitration, PO Box 408865, Chicago, IL 60640. If you opt out, neither you nor ITK can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.

Arbitration Procedures.  Except as regarding any action seeking equitable relief, including without limitation for the purpose of protecting any ITK Confidential Information and/or intellectual property rights, or except in the event the claim meets the requirements set forth in the ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below and/or if you opt-out of arbitration as described above, any and all controversies and/or claims arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service and/or the Services shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules, in effect at the time the proceedings begin, of the American Arbitration Association. Any such controversy and/or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. The arbitration shall be held in Cook County, Illinois or any other location we agree to. All information relating to and/or disclosed by any party in connection with the arbitration of any disputes hereunder shall be treated by the parties, their representatives, and the arbitrator as proprietary business information. Such information shall not be disclosed by any party or their respective representatives without the prior written authorization of the party furnishing such information. Such information shall not be disclosed by the arbitrator without the prior written authorization of all parties. The prevailing party of any such arbitration shall be entitled to collect from the other party all costs incurred in such dispute, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any arbitration costs and fees. Judgment upon the award returned by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties or their assets or application of enforcement, as the case may be. Any award by the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties. The parties hereby waive all rights to judicial review of the arbitrator’s decision and any award contained therein.
