VIII. Disclaimer

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PROGRAMS, OR SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN THESE TERMS, ADDITIONAL TERMS, AND/OR ANY AGREEMENT. LRC MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THIS SITE, OUR VENDORS SUPPORTING THE SITE, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PROGRAMS, OR SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SITE, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THIS SITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

The Site makes use of an application programming interface, or API, which is a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other. Among other things, this API allows use of other programs, including artificial intelligence (AI) programs, in connection with use of the Site. AI is recognized as an emerging and powerful technology and it may be useful when utilized in connection with the Site. However, AI is in the early stages of development and, as such, may produce inaccurate results. Therefore, if you use AI applications in connection with the Site, you should expect errors and carefully check the accuracy of the information generated before you release it to a client. ACCORDINGLY, WE MAKE ALL DISCLAIMERS IN THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPH WITH REGARD TO THE USE AND ACCURACY OF AI GENERATED MATERIAL PRODUCED IN CONNECTION WITH USE OF THE SITE.

Your use and access to the Site may be subject to limitations, delays, failure, and other problems inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications. LRC is not responsible for any delays, failures or other damage resulting from such problems.

IN NO EVENT SHALL LRC BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES BASED ON LOST PROFITS, DATA OR USE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), ARISING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO, OR USE OF, THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT, MATERIALS, OR INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE, WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

X. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, release, and hold harmless LRC and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors for any third party claims, demands, suits, proceedings, liabilities, losses, damages, judgements, fines, or costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your violation or alleged violation of these Terms; or (b) your Submissions.

XI. Applicable Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

LRC reserves the right to modify the Site, including adding, amending, suspending, or removing functionality, features, material, and content on the Site, and these Terms at any time, without notice. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive the termination of your use and access to the Site, including, without limitation, provisions regarding ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability. If any of these conditions shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, such condition(s) shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition. LRC may terminate your privilege to use or access the Site immediately and without notice for any reason whatsoever. Upon such termination, you agree to immediately cease accessing or using the Site and agree not to access or make use of, or attempt to use, the Site.
