Terms of Service

Important Disclaimers and Legal Information

GENERAL INFORMATION

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Friends of Vincent Irizarry (hereinafter FOVI) and govern your use of the membership services provided, superceding any prior agreements. Membership and/or use and viewing of FOVI’s website constitutes agreement with all stated terms and conditions, as well as the FOVI Guidelines sent to you in your membership welcome packet. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service and the relationship between you and FOVI shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and FOVI agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within Illinois. The failure of FOVI to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. The section titles in the Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
