If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you are not permitted to use the Platform. Palisade can change these Terms of Use at any time without any notice to you. It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Use, as it creates a binding legal agreement between you and Palisade. If you use the Platform after we have changed any of the Terms of Use, you are agreeing to all of the changes. To the extent that you or your employer (to the extent you are using the Platform in your capacity as an agent of your employer) has entered into another written agreement with Palisade that contains terms that directly conflict with any terms of these Terms of Use, then the conflicted terms set forth in such other agreement will control.
Eligibility
Any access or use of the Platform by anyone under the age of 18 is prohibited. By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and have the legal capacity to enter into and abide by these Terms of Use.
Privacy
Any personal information submitted in connection with your use of the Platform is subject to our privacy policy found at https://www.palisadeknowledge.com/privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is hereby incorporated by this reference.

You may not use any account belonging to any other person without Palisade’s express, prior, written permission. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account. This means you need to be careful with your password.

General Terms
Non-Waiver. Failure by Palisade to enforce any provision(s) of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions of these Terms of Use.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms of Use, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of, or relate to these Terms of Use, or the performance under these Terms of Use, are governed by and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, including its statute of limitations, without reference to (i) any conflicts of law principles that would apply the substantive laws of another jurisdiction to the parties’ rights or duties, (ii) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, or (iii) other international laws. Any action or other judicial proceeding for the enforcement of these Terms of Use or any of its provisions shall be instituted only in the courts of the State of Washington.
Compliance with Legal Requests. Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to fully cooperate with any valid legal process from a law enforcement authority with jurisdiction that requests or directs us to disclose customer data or other information on the Platform. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS US AND OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY US OR ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER US, SUCH PARTIES, OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW, Palisade AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS AND PARTNERS HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY CONTENT PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER TYPES OF DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, Palisade’S LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF EACH OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, INVESTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVERTISERS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OTHER CONTRACTORS TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IS LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $100.
Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Palisade and its affiliates, suppliers, partners, officers, agents, and employees from and against any claim, demand, losses, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from any User Generated Content, your use of the Platform, your connection to the Platform, your violation of these Terms of Use or your violation of any rights of any third-party.
Equitable Relief. You acknowledge that a breach of these Terms of Use may cause us irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, you agree that we may institute an action to enjoin you from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy will be cumulative and not exclusive, and we may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which we may be entitled at law or in equity.
Assignment. We may freely transfer or assign any portion of our rights or delegate our obligations under these Terms of Use. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your rights, obligations, or duties under these Terms of Use, in whole or in part.
