Welcome to the family of IRONMAN websites!

 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE. 
BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS OF USE.

 

Ownership of Site; Agreement to Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the "Terms of Use") apply to the www.IRONMAN.com, www.IRONMANstore.com, www.RunRocknRoll.com, www.RunRocknRollstore.com, as well as any associated IRONMAN® or Rock ‘n’ Roll® apps (e.g., mobile or tablet apps), websites, event or race-specific websites or pages, sub-domains, and sub-sites thereof (each, the "Site"). The Site is the property of World Triathlon Corporation (“WTC”) and its licensors. BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SITE.

WTC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms of Use at any time, and you agree to be bound by such changes or modifications. Although WTC may periodically notify you of certain changes (either by email or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law, other changes may be made without notice. It is your responsibility to check these Terms of Use periodically for changes, you hereby agree to do so. Note that your continued use of the Site following any changes will mean that you accept and agree to those changes. Additional terms and conditions may apply to the purchase of products, such as shipping and return policies. As long as you comply with these Terms of Use, WTC grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right and license to enter and use the Site for your own personal, non-commercial purposes.

By accessing or using the Site, you represent and warrant that (a) all registration and other information you submit, if any, is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of any information you provide; (c) you will not submit any personal information if you are under 13 years of age without your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission; and (d) your access or use of the Site does not violate any applicable law or regulation.  WTC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your access to, and/or use of, the Site or any portion thereof, at any time, with or without notice and for any reason.

Your Account, Password, Security, and Account Termination

 

Certain features or services offered on or through the Site may require you to register an account. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of the information you hold on your account, including your password(s), and for any and all activity that occurs on your account as a result of your failure to keep this information secure and confidential. The Site may contain products or services for sale that can be purchased by using a credit card. If you are under the age of 18 and using a credit card to purchase any product or service, you may do so only with your parent’s or legal guardian’s consent. WTC may, in its sole discretion and at any time, terminate your account, refuse your registration, and remove or edit your posted User Content (as defined below).  

 

Acceptance, Applicability, and Other Agreements

 

These Terms of Use apply to and govern your access or use of the Site and you accept them by accessing or using the Site, or creating an account. Each time you access or use the Site or create an account, you are confirming your acceptance of these Terms of Use, as they exist on that date. If you have entered into any other agreement with WTC, such as a race entry agreement, a liability waiver, or a sponsorship agreement, the terms and conditions of those agreements will supersede and prevail over these Terms of Use in the event of any inconsistency.

 

Postings; User Content

 

The Site may, now or in the future, provide you with the opportunity to post photos, content, or other information that will then be shared publicly with others through the Site, or otherwise by WTC (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for the User Content that you post on or through the Site.  By submitting User Content or information of any type, you automatically grant WTC a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, perform, and display such User Content or information (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate into other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such User Content. WTC may sublicense all or part of its rights under this license or assign them to third parties.  You also acknowledge that such submissions are non-confidential for all purposes. 

 

You will not post or transmit any of the following materials (each, “Prohibited Content”): (a) anything that interferes with or disrupts the Site or the operation of the Site or any product or service made available by WTC; (b) statements or material that defames, harasses, abuses, stalks, threatens, or in any way infringes on the rights of others; (c) unauthorized copyrighted materials or any other material that infringes on the intellectual property rights, trade secrets, or privacy of another; (d) statements or material that violates other contractual or fiduciary rights, duties, or agreements; (e) statements or material that encourages criminal conduct or that would give rise to civil liability or otherwise violates any law or regulation in any jurisdiction; (f) statements or material that contains vulgar, obscene, profane, or otherwise objectionable language or images that typically would not be considered socially or professionally responsible or appropriate in person; (g) statements or material that impersonates any other person or entity, whether actual or fictitious, including employees and representatives of WTC, or its subsidiaries; (h) anything that violates the privacy or publicity rights of any other person; (i) statements or material that constitute junk mail, spam, or unauthorized advertising or promotional materials; or (j) files that contain malicious code, viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of another’s computer, network, or the Site. Furthermore, by posting User Content, you represent and warrant that all User Content posted by you on or through the Site or otherwise is not Prohibited Content and that you own or have all the rights necessary to grant WTC the license set forth in this section.

 

WTC may delete any User Content for any reason, including content that, in WTC’s sole judgment, is offensive, illegal, or violates the rights or threatens the safety of any person.  WTC does not monitor the Site for inappropriate User Content; however, if WTC becomes aware of any such content, WTC may (but is not required to) remove it.

THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, SERVICES, PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS CONTAINED IN OR PROVIDED OR AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITH NO WARRANTY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WTC DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH INFORMATION, CONTENT, SERVICES, PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, FREEDOM FROM ERROR, INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER VIRUS, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. IN ADDITION, WTC DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE VIA THE SITE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.  WTC HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES AND UPDATES TO ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.

 

Limitation of Liability

 

IN NO EVENT WILL WTC BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF WTC HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES (WHETHER IN AN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE, INABILITY TO USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE INFORMATION, SERVICES, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS AVAILABLE FROM THE SITE OR THE INTERNET GENERALLY.

 

Because some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.  In such jurisdictions, WTC’s liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

 

Indemnification

 

You hereby agree to indemnify and hold WTC, its parent and affiliates, and each of their respective officers and employees harmless from each claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your access or use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, your access or use of the Site or your infringement of any intellectual property, privacy, or other right of any person or entity. 

Dispute Resolution

 

If you believe that WTC has violated these Terms of Use, its Privacy Policy or your rights, you agree to notify WTC in writing and provide us with no less than thirty (30) days to resolve any dispute before bringing formal legal action.  If you feel your intellectual property, privacy, or safety is at risk, the foregoing will not serve to prevent you from seeking immediate injunctive or other relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. For all other disputes, and all claims for damages, you agree to provide a reasonable cure period of no less than thirty (30) days before bringing formal legal action.  The foregoing is intended to be applicable only in jurisdictions where it is not forbidden by law.  You agree that any cause of action that you may desire to bring arising out of or related to these Terms of Use and/or the Site must commence within one (1) year after such cause of action arises; otherwise, such cause of action will be permanently barred. In any formal legal action interpreting these Terms of Use, or alleging a breach of them, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other damages or relief awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Governing Law

 

You agree that these Terms of Use (and your agreement to them) and your access or use of the Site are governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws provision. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Hillsborough County, Florida, USA in all disputes (a) arising out of, relating to, or concerning the Site and/or this agreement and/or these Terms of Use, (b) in which the Site and/or this agreement and/or these Terms of Use is an issue or a material fact, or (c) in which the Site and/or this agreement and/or these Terms of Use is referenced in a paper filed in a court, tribunal, agency or other dispute resolution organization.  You agree to waive any and all objections to jurisdiction or venue in Hillsborough County, Florida, USA.  Access or use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give full effect to all provisions of this agreement, including without limitation this paragraph and the warranty disclaimers and liability exclusions above.  WTC has endeavored to comply with all legal requirements known to it in creating and maintaining the Site but makes no representation that materials on the Site are appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Access or use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction where all or any portion of the Site may violate any legal requirements and you agree not to access the Site in any such jurisdiction. You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws. Any use in contravention of this provision or any provision of this agreement is at your own risk and, if any part of these Terms of Use is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms of Use will govern such use.

 

General

 

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and WTC as a result of this agreement or your use of the Site.  WTC’s performance of this agreement is subject to existing laws and legal process and nothing contained in this agreement is in derogation of WTC’s right to comply with law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by WTC with respect to such use.

 

Miscellaneous

 

These Terms of Use (including, without limitation, and any other terms and conditions that may appear on the Site from time-to-time) contain the full understanding with respect to your use and access of the Site. If any portion of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be modified in accordance with the applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intention of the applicable provision, and the remainder of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.  The failure of WTC to insist upon or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.  

We may provide notice to you relating to the Site and/or these Terms of Use by sending an email to your last known email address, which you agree to provide to us automatically when it changes from the one you used to first register on the Site, and any such notice will be deemed given and received on the day it is sent. Providing an email address constitutes your having opted-in to receive email communications from us in terms of compliance with, as may be applicable, the United States CAN-SPAM Act and other similar, U.S. or non-U.S. laws.
