    Privacy Policy

    This Policy was last updated on February 1, 2021.

    INTRODUCTION

    GEORGIA LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT, INC. (referred to herein as "we," "us," and "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal information we receive and collect from you. We also believe in transparency, and we are committed to informing you about how we treat your personal information.

    This Privacy Policy (the "Policy"), together with our Terms of Use [insert hyperlink], apply to www.glisi.org (the "Site"). This Policy describes the ways in which we use and share (1) personal information that users, visitors, and customers ("you" or "your") provide to us when using the Site, and (2) certain information about you that is automatically collected when you access or use the Site. This Policy also describes certain rights and options that you may have with regard to your personal information.

    This Policy does not apply to (1) information collected by us offline, or (2) information collected through any third party (including our affiliates and subsidiaries) and any third party application, website, or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Site.

    Automated Information When you visit our Site, we automatically collect information from your browser or your mobile device, which includes the date and time of your visit, your Internet Protocol (IP) address or unique device identifier, domain server, your browser type, cookies and data about which pages you visit in order to allow us to operate and provide the Site and our services.  This information is used to understand how you interact with the Site and to provide you with advertising and a more personalized experience.  To learn more about our collection of technical data, please see the Cookies and Similar Technologies section of this Policy below.
    Email Interconnectivity If you receive email communications from us, we may use certain tools to capture data related to if/when you open our message and if/when you click on any links or banners it contains. Other information collected through this email tracking feature includes: your email address, the date and time of your "click" on the email, a message number, the name of the list from which the message was sent, a tracking URL number, and a destination page. We use this information to enhance our marketing efforts.  We do not sell or distribute this information to third parties.
    Mailing List, Newsletters, and Marketing Materials When you sign up for one of our mailing lists, newsletters, marketing lists or download or access other marketing materials, including but not limited to free or trial software versions as well as whitepaper(s), we collect your contact information, including your email address, phone number, and/or postal address, when necessary to contact you in the way(s) that you request.
    Feedback / Support / Inquiries If you provide us with feedback or contact us for support or to ask us questions, such as any contact forms, we may collect your name, address, telephone number, email address, and other information needed to respond to your feedback, or request for support, or to answer your question.

Please note that credit card numbers and account information are not stored on our servers.
    Third Party Information In addition to the information that we collect from you directly, we may also receive information about you from other sources, including third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publicly-available sources.


    COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
    A "cookie" is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on a user's device for use either during a particular browsing session (a "session" cookie) or a future browsing session (a "persistent" cookie).  This file may include information about your IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), URLs of any referring or exited webpages, operating system, and/or date and time stamps.

    We use cookies to enable certain website functions, develop web browsing analytics, store and track your preferences, and enable the delivery of advertising and marketing, when applicable. For example, we may track the number of "hits" or visits to the Site, the most popular times of day and sections visited, and the range of devices and browsers most commonly used to view the Site. We do not sell or distribute any of this information to third parties.

    What similar technologies are in use and why do we use them?
    Like most websites, as you navigate through and interact with the Site, we may passively collect information about your browsing activities using cookies and other automatic data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs., pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) in order to improve functionality of the Site and analytics.

    • Web beacons: These are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are rendered invisible on web pages when you open a page.
    • Social Widgets: These are buttons or icons provided by third-party providers, including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, allowing you to interact with services when you view a web page or mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget and are controlled by third parties.
    • UTM Codes: These are strings that can appear in a URL (the "Uniform Resource Locator," which is typically the http or https address entered to go to a web page) when a user moves from one web page or website to another, where the string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.

    The aggregate data collected by these passive technologies typically does not target any personally identifying information, but personal information we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies in order to improve our marketing, analytics, or website functionality.

    Google Analytics and Similar Technologies
    We may use Google Analytics and similar technologies to collect and process statistical data about the number of people using the Site and to better understand how they find and use our webpages.  This does not include personally identifiable information, nor do we store or associate such analytics with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere. Any data collected is used in accordance with our Policy and Google's privacy policy. If you do not want to receive any user-based advertising, you can disable the placement of ads by using Google's ad settings.

    Other Third Party Technologies
    Some third parties may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about you when you when you browse the Internet. The information they collect about your online browsing activities over time and across different websites and other online services may be associated with your personal information and used to provide you with targeted content. We do not control these third parties' technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult its privacy policy.

    Choices About Cookies
    We provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us, and we have created ways to give you control over our use of your information.  Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies.  If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent by website tracking technologies and advertising.  Note that, if you decline the use of cookies, you may not have access to the full benefits of the Site.

    When you visit the Site, it will prompt you to confirm whether you approve of the use of a cookie. You may adjust your browser settings to opt out of accepting a "persistent" cookie and to only accept "session" cookies, but you will need to log in each time you want to enjoy the full functionality of the Site.

    Please be aware that adjusting the cookie settings on the Site may not fully delete all of the cookies that have already been created.  To delete them, visit your web browser settings after you have changed your cookie settings on the Site.

    HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
    We may collect and use the types of personal information listed above in an effort to improve your experience on the Site, to provide services to you, and to communicate with you about the information you have requested.  We may also use personal information to help target specific offers to you and to help us develop and improve the Site and our services.

    SHARING AND DISCLOSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
    We may share your information in the following contexts:

    Category Disclosure Contexts
    Subsidiaries and Acquisitions We may share your personal information with our subsidiaries and affiliates and with their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents.  In addition, we may disclose your personal information in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our company assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about the Site's users is among the assets transferred.
    Disclosures With Your Consent We may ask if you would like us to share your personal information with other unaffiliated third parties who are not described elsewhere in this Policy. We will only disclose your personal information in this context with your consent.
    Disclosures Without Your Consent We may disclose your personal information in response to subpoenas, warrants, court orders or other legal process, or to comply with relevant laws.  We may also share your personal information in order to establish or exercise our legal rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property or any other violation.
    Service Providers

    We may share your personal information with our service providers that need access to your information to provide operational or other support services on our behalf.  Among other things, service providers may help us to administer the Site, support our provision of services requested by you; provide technical support; send marketing, promotions and communications to you about our services; provide payment processing; and assist with other legitimate purposes permitted by law.

    All such third-party service providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using your personal information except for the purposes for which we disclose it to them or as required by law.
    Aggregated Data We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any specific individual, such as groupings of demographic data and customer preferences, for new product and marketing development.

    HOW LONG DO WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
    We will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.  We will retain and use your personal information as long as necessary to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to provide our services, and to enforce our agreements.

    When we no longer have a purpose to retain your personal information, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable law and our policies. We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect if your registration to use the Site lapses and you opt out of receiving further communications from us, or if you ask us to delete your information, unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations.  To the extent permitted by law, we may retain and use anonymous and aggregated information for performance reporting, benchmarking, and analytic purposes and for product and service improvement.

    HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
    We have put in place reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect the personal information that you share with us from being accidentally lost, used, altered, or disclosed or accessed in an unauthorized manner. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods.

    While our security measures seek to protect your personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you do so at your own risk.  We cannot promise that your personal information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances.  We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.

    If a security breach causes an unauthorized intrusion into our Site or systems that compromises your data, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law.

    RIGHTS AND CHOICES ABOUT HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
    Please use the Contact Us details at the end of this Policy to exercise your rights and choices under this Policy.  If you would like to manage, change, limit, or delete your personal information or if you no longer want to receive any email, postal mail, or telephone contact from us or our affiliates in the future, such requests may be submitted via the Contact Us details at the end of this Policy.

    Cookies.  As discussed above, you can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent.  If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

    Right to Erasure and Deletion of Your Personal Information.

    Right to Complain. If you believe that your rights relating to your personal information have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with the applicable enforcement authority or seek a remedy through the courts.  You may also lodge a complaint with us by contacting us using the information provided in the Contact Us section of this Policy.

    GENERAL

    Governing Law
    These Terms and all matters arising from them are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, exclusive of its choice of law rules, whose courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising in connection with the Terms.

    Dispute Resolution
    You agree to resolve any disputes through binding arbitration. All disputes or claims that arise under or relate to these Terms (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether past, pre-existing, or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive, and equitable claims) will be resolved by individual arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Unless you and us agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your or your organization's address.

    You further agree to arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR GLISI SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER PARTIES OR ARBITRATE OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. If any provision of this provision is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration).

    The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. This transaction and the arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

    No Waivers
    No waiver by us of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition, and any failure by us to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. 

    Assignment
    You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this prohibition on assignment is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms.

    Notices
    We may provide any notice to you under these Terms by: (i) sending a message to the e-mail address you provide, or (ii) by posting to the Site. Notices sent by e-mail will be effective when we send the e-mail, and notices we provide by posting will be effective upon posting.

    To give us notice under these Terms, you must contact us as follows: (i) by sending a message to the "Contact Us" information provided at the end of these Terms; or (ii) by personal delivery, overnight courier, or registered or certified mail to us at the "Contact Us" information provided at the end of these Terms.  We may update the e-mail address or mailing address for notices to us by posting a notice on the Site. Notices provided by personal delivery will be effective immediately. Notices provided by e-mail or overnight courier will be effective one business day after they are sent. Notices provided by registered or certified mail will be effective three business days after they are sent.

    Entire Agreement
    These Terms, together with any documents expressly referred to in them, including our Privacy Policy [insert hyperlink], constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Site, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements.

    Reformation and Interpretation

    If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in effect.

    Limitations on Exclusions Not Applicable

    Some states do not allow exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In such states, our liability and that of our third-party content providers and their respective agents shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

    INTRODUCTION

    GEORGIA LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT, INC.

We also believe in transparency, and we are committed to informing you about how we treat your personal information.

    This Privacy Policy (the "Policy"), together with our Terms of Use [insert hyperlink], apply to www.glisi.org (the "Site"). This Policy describes the ways in which we use and share (1) personal information that users, visitors, and customers ("you" or "your") provide to us when using the Site, and (2) certain information about you that is automatically collected when you access or use the Site.

    PLEASE READ THIS POLICY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE TREAT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS POLICY, YOU SHOULD NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR ANY FUNCTIONS RELATED THERETO.

    Email Interconnectivity

    If you receive email communications from us, we may use certain tools to capture data related to if/when you open our message and if/when you click on any links or banners it contains. Other information collected through this email tracking feature includes: your email address, the date and time of your "click" on the email, a message number, the name of the list from which the message was sent, a tracking URL number, and a destination page. We use this information to enhance our marketing efforts.  We do not sell or distribute this information to third parties.

    When you sign up for one of our mailing lists, newsletters, marketing lists or download or access other marketing materials, including but not limited to free or trial software versions as well as whitepaper(s), we collect your contact information, including your email address, phone number, and/or postal address, when necessary to contact you in the way(s) that you request.

    If you provide us with feedback or contact us for support or to ask us questions, such as any contact forms, we may collect your name, address, telephone number, email address, and other information needed to respond to your feedback, or request for support, or to answer your question.

Please note that credit card numbers and account information are not stored on our servers.

    Third Party Information

    In addition to the information that we collect from you directly, we may also receive information about you from other sources, including third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publicly-available sources.


    COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
    A "cookie" is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on a user's device for use either during a particular browsing session (a "session" cookie) or a future browsing session (a "persistent" cookie).  This file may include information about your IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), URLs of any referring or exited webpages, operating system, and/or date and time stamps.

    We use cookies to enable certain website functions, develop web browsing analytics, store and track your preferences, and enable the delivery of advertising and marketing, when applicable. For example, we may track the number of "hits" or visits to the Site, the most popular times of day and sections visited, and the range of devices and browsers most commonly used to view the Site. We do not sell or distribute any of this information to third parties.

    What similar technologies are in use and why do we use them?
    Like most websites, as you navigate through and interact with the Site, we may passively collect information about your browsing activities using cookies and other automatic data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs., pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) in order to improve functionality of the Site and analytics. 

    • Web beacons: These are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are rendered invisible on web pages when you open a page.
    • Social Widgets: These are buttons or icons provided by third-party providers, including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, allowing you to interact with services when you view a web page or mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget and are controlled by third parties.
    • UTM Codes: These are strings that can appear in a URL (the "Uniform Resource Locator," which is typically the http or https address entered to go to a web page) when a user moves from one web page or website to another, where the string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.

    The aggregate data collected by these passive technologies typically does not target any personally identifying information, but personal information we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies in order to improve our marketing, analytics, or website functionality.

    Google Analytics and Similar Technologies
    We may use Google Analytics and similar technologies to collect and process statistical data about the number of people using the Site and to better understand how they find and use our webpages.  This does not include personally identifiable information, nor do we store or associate such analytics with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere. Any data collected is used in accordance with our Policy and Google's privacy policy. If you do not want to receive any user-based advertising, you can disable the placement of ads by using Google's ad settings.

    Other Third Party Technologies
    Some third parties may use automated data collection technologies to collect information about you when you when you browse the Internet. The information they collect about your online browsing activities over time and across different websites and other online services may be associated with your personal information and used to provide you with targeted content. We do not control these third parties' technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult its privacy policy.

    Choices About Cookies
    We provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us, and we have created ways to give you control over our use of your information.  Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies.  If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent by website tracking technologies and advertising.  Note that, if you decline the use of cookies, you may not have access to the full benefits of the Site.

    When you visit the Site, it will prompt you to confirm whether you approve of the use of a cookie. You may adjust your browser settings to opt out of accepting a "persistent" cookie and to only accept "session" cookies, but you will need to log in each time you want to enjoy the full functionality of the Site.

    Please be aware that adjusting the cookie settings on the Site may not fully delete all of the cookies that have already been created.  To delete them, visit your web browser settings after you have changed your cookie settings on the Site.

    HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
    We may collect and use the types of personal information listed above in an effort to improve your experience on the Site, to provide services to you, and to communicate with you about the information you have requested.  We may also use personal information to help target specific offers to you and to help us develop and improve the Site and our services.

    We may share your personal information with our subsidiaries and affiliates and with their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and agents.  In addition, we may disclose your personal information in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our company assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about the Site's users is among the assets transferred. 

    Disclosures With Your Consent

    We may ask if you would like us to share your personal information with other unaffiliated third parties who are not described elsewhere in this Policy. We will only disclose your personal information in this context with your consent.

    Disclosures Without Your Consent

    We may disclose your personal information in response to subpoenas, warrants, court orders or other legal process, or to comply with relevant laws.  We may also share your personal information in order to establish or exercise our legal rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property or any other violation.

    We may share your personal information with our service providers that need access to your information to provide operational or other support services on our behalf.  Among other things, service providers may help us to administer the Site, support our provision of services requested by you; provide technical support; send marketing, promotions and communications to you about our services; provide payment processing; and assist with other legitimate purposes permitted by law.

     

    All such third-party service providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using your personal information except for the purposes for which we disclose it to them or as required by law.

    Aggregated Data

    We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any specific individual, such as groupings of demographic data and customer preferences, for new product and marketing development.

     

    HOW LONG DO WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
    We will retain your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.  We will retain and use your personal information as long as necessary to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to provide our services, and to enforce our agreements.

    When we no longer have a purpose to retain your personal information, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable law and our policies. We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect if your registration to use the Site lapses and you opt out of receiving further communications from us, or if you ask us to delete your information, unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations.  To the extent permitted by law, we may retain and use anonymous and aggregated information for performance reporting, benchmarking, and analytic purposes and for product and service improvement.

    HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
    We have put in place reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect the personal information that you share with us from being accidentally lost, used, altered, or disclosed or accessed in an unauthorized manner. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods.

    While our security measures seek to protect your personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you do so at your own risk.  We cannot promise that your personal information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances.  We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide. 

    If a security breach causes an unauthorized intrusion into our Site or systems that compromises your data, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law. 

    RIGHTS AND CHOICES ABOUT HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
    Please use the Contact Us details at the end of this Policy to exercise your rights and choices under this Policy.  If you would like to manage, change, limit, or delete your personal information or if you no longer want to receive any email, postal mail, or telephone contact from us or our affiliates in the future, such requests may be submitted via the Contact Us details at the end of this Policy.

    Cookies.  As discussed above, you can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent.  If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

    Disclosure of Your Information for Third-Party Advertising.  We do not share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties for promotional purposes.

    Updating Your Personal Information.

    Right of Access. If required by law, upon request, we will grant reasonable access to the personal information that we hold about you.

    Accuracy.  Our goal is to keep your personal information accurate, current, and complete.  Please contact us if you believe your information is not accurate or if it changes.

    Right to Erasure and Deletion of Your Personal Information. You may have a legal right to request that we delete your personal information when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or when, among other things, your personal information has been unlawfully processed.  All deletion requests should be sent to the address noted in the Contact Us section of this Policy.

    We may decide to delete your personal information if we believe it is incomplete, inaccurate, or that our continued storage of your personal information is contrary to our legal obligations or business objectives. When we delete personal information, it will be removed from our active servers and databases and the Site; but, it may remain in our archives when it is not practical or possible to delete it.  We may also retain your personal information as needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce any agreements.

    GENERAL

    Governing Law
    These Terms and all matters arising from them are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, exclusive of its choice of law rules, whose courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising in connection with the Terms.

    Dispute Resolution
    You agree to resolve any disputes through binding arbitration. All disputes or claims that arise under or relate to these Terms (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether past, pre-existing, or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive, and equitable claims) will be resolved by individual arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Unless you and us agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your or your organization's address.

    You further agree to arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR GLISI SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER PARTIES OR ARBITRATE OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. If any provision of this provision is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration).

    The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. This transaction and the arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

    No Waivers
    No waiver by us of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition, and any failure by us to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. 

    Assignment
    You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this prohibition on assignment is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms.

    Notices
    We may provide any notice to you under these Terms by: (i) sending a message to the e-mail address you provide, or (ii) by posting to the Site. Notices sent by e-mail will be effective when we send the e-mail, and notices we provide by posting will be effective upon posting.

    To give us notice under these Terms, you must contact us as follows: (i) by sending a message to the "Contact Us" information provided at the end of these Terms; or (ii) by personal delivery, overnight courier, or registered or certified mail to us at the "Contact Us" information provided at the end of these Terms.  We may update the e-mail address or mailing address for notices to us by posting a notice on the Site. Notices provided by personal delivery will be effective immediately. Notices provided by e-mail or overnight courier will be effective one business day after they are sent. Notices provided by registered or certified mail will be effective three business days after they are sent.

    Entire Agreement
    These Terms, together with any documents expressly referred to in them, including our Privacy Policy [insert hyperlink], constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Site, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements.

    Reformation and Interpretation

    If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in effect.

    Limitations on Exclusions Not Applicable

    Some states do not allow exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In such states, our liability and that of our third-party content providers and their respective agents shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
