Welcome to our website at https://unitedwaydallas.org ,which includes our content, features, and everything else you see and do here (“the Site”). The Site is provided by United Way of Metropolitan Dallas., a Texas nonprofit organization (“UWMD”). By using the Site, you’re agreeing to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If you disagree with any part of these Terms, please don’t use the Site. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal information.

You can use the Site if you agree to these Terms. By using the Site, you represent to us that you’ve read and agree to these Terms (including, without limitation, your indemnity obligation contained in section 6, below, and the Warranty Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Class Action Waiver contained in section 7, below),  and are old enough to do so (at least 18, or 13-17 with parent or guardian’s permission).

1. Ownership by UWMD: All rights, titles, and interests in the Site are owned by UWMD or its licensors. Any use other than as specifically allowed under these Terms, including modification, distribution, or replication, without prior written consent from UWMD is strictly prohibited.
2. Accuracy of Information: We aim to provide accurate information on the Site, but we can’t guarantee it. So, your reliance on any information found on the Site is at your own risk.
3. Access and Geographic Limitations: The Site is managed from the United States and is not intended to subject us to non-U.S. jurisdiction or other laws. UWMD may restrict access from specific regions or to specific users at its discretion. Our Site may be most relevant to users in North Texas.

The Site may feature links to third-party websites. UWMD bears no responsibility for such third-party websites and any issue arising from any of them should be directed to the relevant third-party site.

You agree to hold harmless, indemnify, and release UWMD, and its licensors and suppliers, and each of their and UWMD’s respective officers, directors, members, employees, representatives, and agents, and any respective successors and assigns (collectively, “the Covered Parties”) arising from your use of the Site or violation of these Terms. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Site.

 If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

1. Warranty Disclaimers: YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR OWN SOLE RISK, AND THAT THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COVERED PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, LAW, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE, OR REGARDING SECURITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS AND PERFORMANCE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE COVERED PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS, INJURY, CLAIM, LIABILITY, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM, ARISING OUT OF OR ANY WAY RELATED TO (i) ANY ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE SITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TECHNICAL INACCURACIES, INACCURACIES ON THE SITE, AND TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS, (ii) ANY THIRD PARTY WEBSITES OR CONTENT THEREIN DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ACCESSED THROUGH LINKS POSTED ON THE SITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS THEREIN, (iii) THE UNAVAILABILITY OF THE SITE OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, (iv) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE, (v) VIRUSES OR OTHER DAMAGING FACTORS, OR (vi) YOUR USE OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE.
2. Limitation of Liability: In no event shall the Covered Parties be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from, or directly or indirectly related to the use of, or the inability to use, the Site, materials and function related thereto, including, without limitation, loss of revenue, or anticipated profits, or lost business, data or sales, or cost of substitute services, even if UWMD or its representative or such individual has been advised of the possibility of such damages, REGARDLESS OF ANY NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT OF ANY OF THE COVERED PARTIES, AND WHETHER OR NOT APPRISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ANY OF THE COVERED PARTIES RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SITE, BE GREATER THAN TEN DOLLARS ($10.00). YOU AGREE THAT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND IS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE COVERED PARTIES AND YOU. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE SITE WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.
3. Class Action Waiver. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST THE COVERED PARTIES ON YOUR OWN BEHALF, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

We might update these Terms. Check the “Last Updated” date above to see when we last made changes. Continued access to and use of the Site by you will constitute your acceptance of any changes or revisions to the Terms.

UWMD expressly reserves the right to terminate the use of, or to refuse to permit the use of, the Site by any person or entity, at the sole discretion of UWMD, for any reason or no reason at all, and without prior notice. Upon any such termination or suspension, your right to use the Site will immediately cease. If UWMD terminates or suspends your use of the Site, you hereby waive any claims against UWMD or the Covered Parties with respect to such termination or suspension. In the event of termination, any rights or obligations, your indemnity obligations related to use of the Site, shall survive such termination.

You agree that any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Site, these Notices and Terms and our Privacy Policy is governed by and construed in accord with the laws of the State of Texas without reference to choice of law principles, and U.S. federal and state courts located in Dallas County, Texas are the exclusive forum and have sole jurisdiction for any dispute.

These Terms incorporate by reference any notices contained on the Site and constitute the entire agreement regarding your use of and access to the Site, but shall not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and UWMD. If any provision of these Terms or the Privacy Policy is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision will be severable from the remaining provisions and will not affect their validity and enforceability. UWMD’s failure to enforce any provision on any occasion is not and should not be construed as a waiver of such provision.
