By accessing and using this site, you agree to the following terms and conditions without limitation or qualification.
Unless otherwise indicated, the content of this site, including but not limited to the text and images contained herein and their arrangement, are the property of GAOR. All trademarks used or mentioned on this website are the property of their respective owners.
Nothing contained on this site shall be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to any copyright, patent, trademark, or other proprietary interest of GAOR or any third party. This site and the content provided on this site, including but not limited to graphic images, audio, video, HTML code, buttons, and text, may not be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or distributed in any way without GAOR’s prior written consent. You are permitted to download, display, and print one copy of the materials on a single computer for your personal, non-commercial use only, provided you do not modify the material in any way and keep intact all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices.
The information provided on this site is free and for informational purposes only and does not create a business or professional services relationship between you and GAOR. Links on this site may lead to services or sites not operated by GAOR. No judgment or warranty is made with respect to such other services or sites, and GAOR takes no responsibility for them. A link to another site or service is not an endorsement of that service. Any use of the information provided on this site, or any site or service linked to this site, is at your own risk.
This site and its contents are provided “as is,” and GAOR makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding this site or any site or service accessible through this site. GAOR expressly disclaims all express and implied warranties, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In no event will GAOR or its third-party service providers be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, or other damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits, business interruption, loss of programs or data) without regard to the form of action and whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with this site, any content on or accessed through this site or any site service linked to, or any copying, display, or use thereof.
GAOR maintains this site in Illinois, USA, and you agree that these terms of use and any legal action or proceeding relating to this site shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois without reference to your choice of law rules. If you attempt to bring any legal proceedings against GAOR, you specifically acknowledge that GAOR is free to choose the jurisdiction of our preference as to where such action against us may be held. As you have agreed by using this site to choose the laws of the State of Illinois to govern such proceedings, we will probably choose to defend any such action in Illinois, and we can make this decision entirely at our discretion, without regard to where in the world you are located or from where in the world you visited this site.
You are responsible for complying with the laws of the jurisdiction from which you are accessing this site and agree that you will not access or use the information on this site in violation of such laws. Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, any information submitted by you through this site shall be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary. You represent that you have the lawful right to submit such information and agree that you will not submit any information unless you are legally entitled to do so. Due to the open nature of the Internet, we recommend that you not submit information you consider confidential.
GAOR does not accept unauthorized idea submissions outside of established business relationships. To protect the interests of our current clients and ourselves, we must treat the issue of such submissions with great care. Importantly, without a clear business relationship, GAOR cannot and does not treat any such submissions in confidence. Accordingly, please do not communicate unauthorized idea submissions to GAOR through this website. Any ideas disclosed to GAOR outside a pre-existing and documented confidential business relationship are not confidential, and GAOR may therefore develop, use, and freely disclose or publish similar ideas without compensating you or providing notice. GAOR will make all reasonable efforts to return or destroy any unauthorized idea submissions without detailed review of them. However, if a review is necessary in GAOR’s sole discretion, it will be with the understanding that GAOR assumes no obligation to protect the confidentiality of your idea or compensate you for its disclosure or use. By submitting an idea or other detailed submission to GAOR through this website, you agree to be bound by the terms of this policy.
