The preceding requirements are intended to comply with Shedul’s rights and obligations, but do not constitute legal advice. It may be advisable to contact an attorney regarding your rights and obligations.
Shedul has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, Partners or Consumers who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

You expressly agree that the use of the Shedul Website is at your own risk. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SHEDUL WEBSITE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON- INFRINGEMENT. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Shedul, its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective staff members, agents, partners, third-party content providers or licensors, or any of their officers, directors, staff members or agents, warrant that use of the Shedul Website will be uninterrupted or error free; nor do they make any warranty as to (a) the results that may be obtained from use of the Shedul Website, or (b) the accuracy, reliability or content of any information provided on the Shedul Website.

Shedul hereby disclaims any representations, warranties and conditions, whether express or implied, including those to title non-infringement, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS AGREEMENT GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. THE DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SHEDUL DOES NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SHEDUL WEBSITE OR ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE OR SERVICE, AND SHEDUL WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY MONITOR ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
The information presented or contained in the Shedul Website is presented for informational purposes only. No information, whether oral or written, obtained by a Consumer from a Partner, a Partner from a Consumer, or from the Shedul Website will create any warranty not expressly stated in this agreement.
Shedul in some instances allows Partners and Consumers to use the Shedul Website to express opinions and communicate with other Partners or Consumers through forums, bulletin boards, discussion groups, chat rooms, reviews, or other communication facilities that may be offered on or through the Shedul Website from time to time (collectively "Communities"). Shedul shall have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the content within the Communities at any time, for any reason, including to determine compliance with this Agreement and any operating rules established by Shedul, as well as to satisfy any applicable law, regulation or authorized government request. Without limiting the foregoing, Shedul shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove any material from the Communities that Shedul, in its sole discretion, finds to be in violation of this Agreement or otherwise objectionable. Any opinions, advice, ratings, discussions, comments, and/or other messages or postings of any kind made by you to the Communities (collectively, "Statements"), are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of Shedul.
The Shedul Website may contain links to websites maintained by third parties. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not because we endorse or have an opinion about the contents on such websites. We expressly disclaim any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such websites or the privacy practices of those websites.

You further acknowledge that, by reviewing or accepting your submission, Shedul does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to Shedul, or developed by its staff members, or obtained from sources other than you.
By posting Statements or other information on or through the Communities or in connection with the Shedul Website, you grant Shedul a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display the Statements alone or as part of other works in any form, media, or technology whether now known or hereafter developed without territorial or time limitations, and to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees.

No waiver by either you or Shedul of any breach or default or failure to exercise any right allowed under this Agreement is a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default or a waiver or forfeiture of any similar or future rights under our Agreement. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall be of no legal force or effect.
The provisions of these Terms of Use apply equally to and are for the benefit of Shedul, its subsidiaries, affiliates, Partners and its third-party content providers and licensors, and each shall have the right to assert and enforce such provisions directly or on its own behalf.
