THIS AGREEMENT GOVERNS YOUR USE OF THE SITES (AS DEFINED BELOW). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT GRANTED PERMISSION TO ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE SITES.
Acceptance of Terms of Use. This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement"), states the terms and conditions under which you may use the website and any services offered on such website or webpages owned and operated by Broadleaf, which may include the internet domain www.broadleafcommerce.com and its sub-sites (the "Sites"), all data, text, graphics, news, reports, and other materials as well as third party content available through the Sites (collectively, the "Content") and all services available through the Sites (the "Services"). Please read this Agreement carefully. By using the Sites you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be legally bound by this Agreement. The Services and Content offered on the Sites may be subject to additional terms and conditions described on such Sites for those Services or information, and additional licensing terms may apply for software that are disclosed in an End User License Agreement on the Sites or distributed with such software.
Broadleaf Commerce, LLC, its affiliates, subsidiaries and successors or assigns (collectively "Broadleaf", or "We or we") reserves the right to update or modify this Agreement at any time and from time to time. When we make changes to this Agreement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this Agreement. We encourage you to periodically review this Agreement. Your continued use of the Sites after any changes or revisions to this Agreement, regardless of whether you have reviewed the updated version, shall indicate your agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Search Engines are not permitted to query or search information protected by a security verification system ("captcha") which limits access to human users.
User Submissions. Certain Sites enable users to submit content, email, or other information that will be made available to other users of the Sites (e.g., a forum or blog site) or directly to Broadleaf. You understand and agree that Broadleaf: (a) is NOT responsible for the content of user submissions, (b) has no obligation to remove any user-submitted content, and (c) has sole discretion to determine whether any user submitted content violates this Agreement and to take action or inaction based on that determination.

For the avoidance of doubt, any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication or material you send to Broadleaf via email or through the Sites for any purpose whatsoever, will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary.
Community Content. Your rights to access, use, copy and distribute any user and community-generated information or content (including other users' Contributions, as defined below, or third-party apps or content made available on Broadleaf's community sites, collectively "Community Content") is subject to the relevant terms and conditions or license agreement attached to such Community Content. If there are no specific terms and conditions or license agreement attached to such Community Content, the licenses and restrictions under this Agreement will apply.
Intellectual Property Rights in the Sites.

All goodwill generated from the use of the Broadleaf Trademarks will inure to our benefit.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY MONITORING, REVIEWING, OR RECORDING IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH INVESTIGATION OR PROSECUTION OF POSSIBLE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY ON THE SITES. WE WILL ALSO COMPLY WITH ALL COURT ORDERS AS WELL AS ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND REGULATORY INQUIRIES INVOLVING REQUESTS FOR SUCH INFORMATION.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SITES, THE CONTENT, AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. NONE OF BROADLEAF, ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES OR ITS OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY THE "BROADLEAF PARTIES") GUARANTEES THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, SUITABILITY OR USEFULNESS OF ANY PORTION OF THE SITES, THE CONTENT, OR THE SERVICES. NONE OF THE BROADLEAF PARTIES WARRANT THAT THE SITES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR THAT THE SITES, ITS SERVER OR ANY FILES AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOADING THROUGH THE SITES ARE FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL ELEMENTS. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SITES AND THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS OR COMPLETENESS OF THE CONTENT OR SERVICES IS ASSUMED SOLELY BY YOU. NONE OF THE BROADLEAF PARTIES MAKE ANY, AND HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL, REPRESENTATIONS, ENDORSEMENTS, GUARANTEES, AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SITES, THE CONTENT, AND THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITES IS TO STOP USING THE SITES. Additionally, Broadleaf makes no claim that any of the Content or software available from the Sites can be lawfully viewed or downloaded outside of the United States. Access to portions of the Sites may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access a/the Site(s) from outside of the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction. Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
No Responsibility for Connectivity. You agree that you are responsible for the means you use to access the Sites and all costs associated therewith. You understand that we are not responsible for the performance of your hardware, software, the Internet, your Internet service provider and other third parties involved in connecting you to the Sites.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY OF THE BROADLEAF PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY YOUR RELIANCE ON INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITES. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO EVALUATE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF THE SITES. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF THE BROADLEAF PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITES, THE CONTENT, THE SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER DAMAGES, IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS BROADLEAF'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Broadleaf Parties from any and all claims (including without limitation any proceeding, investigation or claim by a self-regulatory organization, state or federal securities agency or commission), demands, damages, costs and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with: (i) any of your Content, including an assertion that the information, content, or other materials or services provided or made available by you or the use thereof, may infringe any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of any individual or entity, or misappropriate any individual or entity's trade secret, or contain any libelous, defamatory, disparaging, pornographic, or obscene materials; (ii) any breach by you of your obligations under this Agreement; (iii) your unlawful and/or unauthorized use of, or activities in connection with this Site.

You may not assign this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing. Neither the course of conduct between parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and any other agreements between the parties entered into through the Sites shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and shall not be governed by the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the Brussels or Lugano Conventions, the UCITA, or the Rome or Rome 1 Conventions. Except for proceedings commenced by us to protect our intellectual property or confidential information which may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction, the parties mutually agree that any and all disputes arising hereunder shall be resolved exclusively by state or federal courts located in New York City in the State of New York.

Broadleaf Commerce, LLC, its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively "Broadleaf") respect the privacy of our customers, business partners, and other visitors to our websites who may choose to provide Personal Information. We recognize the need for appropriate protections and management of Personal Information that you provide to us. This Privacy Policy will assist you to understand what types of information we may collect, how that information may be used, and with whom the information may be shared when you provide information within the broadleafcommerce.com domain of websites.
This Privacy Policy applies to data collected by Broadleaf.
On the Broadleaf web site you can request information, subscribe to marketing, create and manage your account, or view other materials. Broadleaf will collect Personal Information from you for these purposes. "Personal Information" for purposes of this Privacy Policy is information that identifies or can identify a specific individual including, but not limited to an individual’s name, address, telephone number, email address and/or contact preferences. Broadleaf does not collect Personal Information when you visit Broadleaf´s web sites unless you choose to provide it to Broadleaf.
Broadleaf does not intend to collect "Sensitive Information" which includes such items as: Personal Information specifying medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or information specifying the sex life of the individual. However to the extent this information is collected by Broadleaf the person providing such information will be given an affirmative or explicit (opt in) choice if such information is to be disclosed to a third party or used for a purpose other than those for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual through the exercise of opt in choice.
Broadleaf will use Personal Information to provide current and potential customers and business partners with information and services and to help us better understand your needs and interests. Specifically, we use your information to welcome you and to provide ongoing service and support.
In accordance with applicable law, Personal Information collected may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Broadleaf, Broadleaf subsidiaries and affiliates, or service providers maintain facilities, even if the level of data privacy required is less than that required by applicable law of the originating country. By entering your personal data, you consent to the worldwide processing of your Personal Information by Broadleaf for these uses.
In addition, we may use aggregate demographic information to improve our websites, but that information is not personally identifiable.
Broadleaf contracts with its affiliates and subsidiaries and with third party service providers and suppliers (including distributors and resellers) to deliver certain products, services and customer solutions and support. Examples of such services provided on our behalf include the delivery of mailings, hosting websites, processing transactions, planning events, and the provision of support and other services to enable the use of Broadleaf products. Broadleaf uses a recruitment partner to collect and process career applications. Broadleaf may share Personal Information with its service providers and suppliers to the extent needed to deliver the service, or to respond to requests for information on products or services, or to otherwise support the customers' business needs. In these instances, you will not have the opportunity to opt out of having your information shared with third party providers and suppliers, and they may contact you directly regarding such products or services.
Third party service providers and suppliers receiving Personal Information are expected to apply the same level of privacy protection as contained in this Privacy Policy. They are required to keep confidential and secure the Personal Information received from Broadleaf and they may not use it for any purpose other than as originally intended. However, unless otherwise dictated by law or agreement, Broadleaf is not responsible for any improper use by such parties.
We may also disclose Personal Information and the content of communications in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process; or (b) act in good faith to protect the rights or property of our business, employees, suppliers or customers, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request; or (c) to any other party with your prior consent to do so. If Broadleaf is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our web site of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information. Unless permitted by relevant laws or you have provided consent, Broadleaf will not share, sell, trade or lease your Personal Information to others, except as provided in this Privacy Policy.
Broadleaf does not require that customers, business partners or non-employee visitors to Broadleaf websites provide Broadleaf with Personal Information. The decision to provide Personal Information is voluntary. If you do not provide the Personal Information requested, however, you may not be able to proceed with the activity or receive the benefit for which the Personal Information is being requested.
Broadleaf will send you service-related announcements on occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these service-related communications. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.
With respect to the sending of promotional materials, Broadleaf will offer you the opportunity to opt out before such materials are sent to you. You can always unsubscribe or choose not to receive promotional information from us by following the specific instructions in the email you receive or by notifying us via the appropriate method below. It may take a reasonable period of time to process your request, no longer than 30 days. This will not apply to the receipt of mandatory service communications that are considered part of certain Broadleaf services, which you may receive periodically unless you cancel the service.
You have the right to access to your Personal Information and to modification or deletion thereof in the event your Personal Information as stored by us is incorrect or otherwise unlawful. Broadleaf strives to keep your Personal Information accurate. We will provide you with access to your information when reasonable, or in accordance with relevant laws, including making reasonable effort to provide you with online access and the opportunity to change your information. To protect your privacy and security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting access or making changes to your data. You have the right to withdraw any consent you've given with respect to our use of your Personal Information. Requests to delete Personal Information are subject to any applicable legal and ethical reporting or document retention obligations. To access and/or correct information, you can do so online or notify us via the appropriate method below depending on which site is at issue. Contact Broadleaf at security@broadleafcommerce.com or via mail at Broadleaf Commerce, 5550 Granite Parkway Suite #155, Plano, TX 75024, USA.
Broadleaf will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. Broadleaf will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Broadleaf is committed to taking reasonable efforts to secure the personal data you choose to provide us. To protect the privacy of any Personal Information you may have provided, Broadleaf employs industry-standard physical and logical access controls that change in response to the changing regulatory and threat environments including Internet firewalls, intrusion detection, anti-virus protection, and network monitoring. If a password is used to help protect your accounts and Personal Information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our web site, you can contact us at security@broadleafcommerce.com.
As is true of most web sites, Broadleaf and/or a third party service provider collects and/or logs Internet Protocol addresses, Internet domain names, the web browser and operating system used to access the Broadleaf web site, the files visited, the time spent in each file, and the time and date of each visit. Broadleaf collects these through the use of log files and web beacons. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Broadleaf does not tie the information gathered by web beacons to our customers’ personally identifiable information. Broadleaf uses this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
Broadleaf may also use cookies. Cookies are identifiers that can be sent from a web site via your browser to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Thereafter when you visit a web site, a message is sent back to the web server by the browser accessing the web site. You may elect not to accept cookies by changing the designated settings on your web browser. However, not utilizing cookies may prevent you from using certain functions and features of web sites. The information collected from the use of cookies is used and analyzed to improve Broadleaf´s web sites, such as by gaining a better understanding of your interests and requirements regarding our website. Cookies are linked to your Personal Information, such as your email address or password. You can set your browser to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. The information we collect and analyze is used to improve our service to you and personalize your web-browsing experience.
For the Broadleaf website we may use the services of a third party vendor to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use the site by using web beacons or cookies as described above. The type of information we collect includes the pages visited, navigation patterns, etc. This information helps us learn things such as what product information is of most interest to our customers and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. These third party tracking devices only collect data in the aggregate. Broadly speaking the cookies on the Broadleaf web sites fall into three categories:
Strictly Necessary: These are always enabled cookies required for site functionality. These include cookies that allow you to be remembered as you explore the site within a single session or, if you request, from session to session. They help make the search and account process run smoothly as well as assist in security issues and conforming to regulations.
Functional and Performance: These analytics cookies allow us to improve the site's functionality by anonymously tracking usage. They also help us identify Broadleaf products that we may recommend to you. In some cases these cookies improve the speed with which we can process your request, allow us to remember site preferences you've selected and help connect you to your social networks. De-selecting these cookies may result in poorly-tailored recommendations and slow site performance. You also may not be able to share effectively with Facebook, Twitter or other social networks.
Advertising: These cookies collect information to help better tailor advertising to your interests, both within and beyond Broadleaf web sites. The data collected is anonymous; it is not connected with any personal information you may have shared about yourself with Broadleaf. De-selecting these cookies may result in seeing advertising that is not as relevant to you.
Please note that the use of third party cookies and web beacons by any advertising partners are not covered by the Privacy Policy as we do not have access or control over these third party web beacons or cookies and those are covered by such third parties policies.
Broadleafcommerce.com may utilize framing techniques to make it appear that the user is still on the site when the user is actually on a third party web site. Widgets support functions that require that you disclose certain personally identifiable information given the user's choice of participation.
The Broadleaf web sites may provide links to third-party web sites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the Broadleaf web site. Broadleaf does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from Broadleaf's. We do not endorse or make any representations about third party web sites and shall bear no liability for your use thereof. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the Broadleaf Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your Personal Information.
Broadleaf’s web site may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
When we provide services to our customers, in some instances we process Personal Information about their clients ("Client Information") on their behalf. In these situations it is our customers rather than we who decide the reasons for which the Client Information will be processed. For details of how the Client Information will be used and protected, and details of how to access or correct the information, please refer to the privacy policy of the Broadleaf customer to whom you submitted your Personal Information. Relevant laws may oblige customers to require that we comply with the same security rules that they are subject to under such laws.
Our websites do not target and are not intended to attract children under the age of 13. Broadleaf does not knowingly solicit Personal Information from children under the age of 13 or send them requests for Personal Information.
If you have questions regarding our compliance with this Privacy Policy you should first contact us by making a written submission to Broadleaf's Office of the General Counsel, at legal@broadleafcommerce.com or via mail at Broadleaf Commerce, 5550 Granite Parkway Suite #155, Plano, TX 75024, USA.
Broadleaf will review and update this Policy periodically, and will note the date of its most recent revision above. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the changes or by directly sending you a notification. Should we undergo any sort of corporate reorganization in the future, you agree that we may provide your information to the resulting entity in which case we will follow these Change procedures. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy frequently to be informed of how Broadleaf is protecting your information.
