ACC may change the terms of this Agreement from time to time without further notice directly to you. When the terms are changed, ACC will post a general conspicuous notice on the Sites.

We may charge fees for products available on or through the Services, and/or for access to any portion(s) of the Service or the Service as a whole. You agree to pay all such fees for the products and/or Services which are not paid by another organization or agent on your behalf (“Sponsoring Organization”) at the rates in effect for the billing period in which such fees and charges are incurred. Unless otherwise specified on the Services (or other agreement between you and ACC overriding the terms of this Agreement), all fees will be quoted and charged in U.S. dollars. We reserve the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees, and to institute new fees. The fee options available to you will be presented within the Services or otherwise communicated to you. In order to continue your access, you will need to select one of the new fee options. If you do not select one of these options, your access to the Services will be terminated at the end of the term then in effect.
All charges incurred in connection with your registration or purchase that are not paid by a Sponsoring Organization on your behalf will be billed to the credit, debit, or payment account number, or other payment information that you provide to us upon registration, at the time of purchase, or otherwise, and you authorize, give us permission, and direct us to retain such information and to charge all fees to such payment method.
For purposes of identification and billing, you agree to provide ACC with accurate, complete, and updated information required to process the purchase or registration for the Services ("Registration Data"), including your name, address, and applicable payment data (e.g., credit card number, e-mail address, and expiration date).

For annual subscribers to Services who elect to cancel their subscription to the Services, you will receive a pro-rata refund that will cover the unused months of your subscription, and you will not receive a refund for partial months used, from the date on which ACC receives your notice of cancellation. For monthly subscribers to Services, cancellation will take effect on your next monthly subscription anniversary date, which is the day of the month on which you subscribed, but no refund will be given. Any pro-rata amounts will be credited to the payment method to which your subscription is charged. There is no pro-rata refund if your subscription is paid on your behalf by a Sponsoring Organization (as defined herein), regardless of whether you are an annual or monthly subscriber.
ACC may terminate your access to Services at any time. If ACC has reason to believe that you have violated any of the terms of this Agreement, you will not be credited with a refund. You agree that any termination of your access to the Services shall not result in any liability or other obligation of ACC to you, your agent, or any third party in connection with such termination.
YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ACC (AND THOSE THAT ACC WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, GOODWILL, USE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER LOSSES RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO: (i) THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES AND/OR SITES, (ii) THE COST OF ANY SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY PRODUCTS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES OBTAINED OR WHICH YOU WERE UNABLE TO OBTAIN OR TRANSACTIONS EFFECTED OR FAILED TO BE EFFECTED, (iii) THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SERVICES, OR (iv) ANY MATTER OTHERWISE RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR SITES.
THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS OF LIABILITY (E.G., WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, LAW) AND EVEN IF ACC HAS BEEN TOLD OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF THESE REMEDIES FAIL THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
THE SERVICES AND SITES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. ACC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND SITES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFECT IN OR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICES, SITES, AND/OR CONTENT IS TO CEASE ITS USE AND/OR CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION, SUBSCRIPTION, OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES.
Neither party shall be liable or considered in default under this Agreement when the failure or delay of performance is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control and occurring without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, failure of suppliers, licensors, subcontractors, and carriers, acts of civil or military authorities, national emergencies, fire, flood, acts of God, threats or acts of terrorism, insurrection, and war, provided the party invoking this Section immediately provides notice thereof to the other and does everything reasonable possible.
This agreement is personal to you, and you may not assign your rights or obligations to anyone.
Neither failure nor delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder nor course of dealing between the parties shall operate as a waiver thereof, or of the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. No term of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, and no breach consented to, unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party claiming such waiver or consent.
If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold ACC and its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, and representatives harmless from and against any and all liability, losses, damages, claims, and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, which may arise out of or are in any way connected with your access, visitation, and/or use of the Services, Sites, User Content, unauthorized use of Content obtained on or through the Services and Sites, breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or from any of your acts or omissions in connection with the Services, Sites, and Content.
You and ACC agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, U.S.A, without regard to its conflicts of law principles. You and ACC agree that all claims and disputes shall be litigated only in a court of competent jurisdiction located in the District of Columbia, U.S.A, and you and ACC each agree to personal jurisdiction in such courts.
