By using the website, you signify your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and any subsequent modifications of the same. We may revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time by updating this posting, with the new terms taking effect on the date of posting.

No Endorsement

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the presence of information on the website regarding any nonprofit organization does not mean that the Cleveland Foundation endorses or supports that organization. The information is provided by the nonprofit organization itself or obtained from publicly available data. The Cleveland Foundation does not guarantee the accuracy of any such data or make any representations or warranties with regard to any nonprofit organization information presented. An organizational profile or other information, as viewed or printed from this system, is not intended to be a user’s complete source of information regarding an organization. Rather, it can serve as a way for a user to initially screen an organization and decide if that organization warrants further examination. Whenever possible, the Cleveland Foundation will attempt to provide explanation for any data discrepancies. If prospective donors have further questions about an organization, they may either contact the organization directly or contact the Cleveland Foundation.

The website may contain links to third-party websites which are not under the control of the Cleveland Foundation. The Cleveland Foundation is not responsible for the content of any linked site or for any link contained in a linked site, or any changes or updates to such sites. The Cleveland Foundation is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply that the Cleveland Foundation endorses, guarantees, or accepts any responsibility for the content on such third-party sites. If you click a link to a third-party website, you will be subject to that third-party website’s legal terms and policies including, without limitation, such website’s terms of use and privacy policy.

No Financial, Legal or Tax Advice

The information on the website is provided for educational and/or informational purposes only. Such information or materials do not constitute and are not intended to provide legal, accounting, or tax advice and should not be relied on for any such purpose. We suggest that you consult an attorney, accountant and/or financial advisor to answer any financial or legal questions.

Personal and Noncommercial Use

The website is for your personal and noncommercial use. As a condition to your continued use of the website, you warrant to the Cleveland Foundation that you will not use the website for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms and Conditions. Certain information available through the website may relate to various laws. Such information should not be considered legal or financial advice. The Cleveland Foundation is not acting as your lawyer or financial advisor. Donors should seek independent professional advice before finalizing a donation to the Cleveland Foundation.

Use by Persons Under 13 is Restricted

In accordance with federal law and the guidelines set up by the Federal Trade Commission regarding youth privacy, the Cleveland Foundation will not knowingly collect any personal information from young people under the age of 13. This website is restricted to users over the age of 13.

Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the website is provided to you “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, covering the accuracy of the information contained within the website.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the Cleveland Foundation or any third parties mentioned on the website be liable for any costs, damages and expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, lost profits or damages resulting from lost data or business interruption) resulting from the use or inability to use the website or the content of the website, whether based on warranty, contract, tort or any other legal theory, and whether or not the Cleveland Foundation is advised of the possibility of such damages. The Cleveland Foundation shall be liable to you only for gross negligence or willful misconduct and only to the extent of actual damages incurred by you, not to exceed U.S. $100.00 (one hundred dollars). Because some states and countries do not allow the exclusion of limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. Remedies under this agreement are exclusive and are limited to those expressly provided for in this agreement.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold the Cleveland Foundation, its officers, directors, employees and agents, sponsors and grantees, licensors, vendors and suppliers harmless from and against any claims, actions or demands, liabilities and settlements, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, resulting from, or alleged to result from, your use of the website in a manner that violates or is alleged to violate these Terms and Conditions.

Termination

You agree that the Cleveland Foundation may terminate your use of the website if the Cleveland Foundation reasonably believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms and Conditions of Use, or violated the rights of the Cleveland Foundation or any third party, or for any reason with or without notice to you. You agree that the Cleveland Foundation may modify or discontinue the website, with or without notice to you. You agree that the Cleveland Foundation will not be liable to you or any third party as a result of such modification or discontinuation.

General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.
