In addition, we may provide information about third-party products, services, activities or events, or we may allow third parties to make their content and information available on or through the Services (collectively, “Third-Party Content”). We provide Third-Party Content as a service to those interested in such content.

We do not control or endorse, and make no representations or warranties regarding, any Third-Party Content, and your access to and use of such Third-Party Content is at your own risk. If you elect to receive Third-Party Content, you authorize us to submit your information to the third party to the extent necessary to facilitate the provision of Third-Party Content. You agree that by electing to receive Third-Party Content, and by consenting and authorizing us to submit your information to a third party, you have waived and released any Claim against Check and its directors, officers, and employees arising out of a third party’s use of your information, even if that use is not authorized by the applicable agreement between you and the third party.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Check and our officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively, the “Check Parties”) from and against any third party losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, expenses or costs (“Claims”) arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your User Content or Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation or alleged violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation; (e) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (f) your conduct in connection with the Services.

Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. Except as otherwise provided in a writing by us, (i) the Services and any content therein are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and (ii) we do not represent or warrant that the Services are accurate, complete, reliable, timely, current or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Check and the other Check Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of New York and the United States, respectively, sitting in Borough of Manhattan.
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
