2.2 The trademarks, service marks, and logos of the Association (the “Association Trademarks”) used and displayed on this Site are registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks of the Association. Other company, product, and service names located on the Site may be trademarks or service marks owned by others (the “Third-Party Trademarks”, and, collectively with the Association Trademarks, the “Trademarks”). Nothing on this Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed on this Site, without the prior written permission of the Association specific for each such use.

Use of any Trademarks as part of a link to or from any site is prohibited unless establishment of such a link is approved in advance by the Association in writing. All goodwill generated from the use of any Association Trademark inures to our benefit.

2.3 The Site may contain links to third-party Web sites (“External Sites”).

3.3 Some states do not allow exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. IN SUCH STATES, THE LIABILITY OF THE ASSOCIATION PARTIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

4. Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Association Parties, from and against any claims, actions or demands, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising or resulting from your breach of this Agreement or your access to, use or misuse of the Content or Site. The Association shall provide notice to you of any such claim, suit, or proceeding and shall assist you, at your expense, in defending any such claim, suit or proceeding. The Association reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section.

You expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Richmond, Virginia. If any provision of this Agreement 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 this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Failure of the Association to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against the Association unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by the Association and you, this Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between you and the Association with respect to the subject matter, and supercedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter.
