Please contact Lighthouse Consulting if You wish to receive a printed copy of this Agreement.

14. ENFORCEMENT. Lighthouse Consulting wishes to maintain the Website as a helpful resource for all of its users. As it relates to Lighthouse Consulting, You therefore have no reasonable expectation of privacy while using the Website because Lighthouse Consulting reserves the right to view, monitor, and/or record activity on the Website (in accordance with applicable law) and to comply with government or court appointed authorities when necessary. Actual or attempted unauthorized use of the Website may also result in criminal and/or civil prosecution, including, without limitation, punishment under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 under U.S. federal law. You shall therefore not, nor shall You permit any third party to, disable, circumvent, or otherwise avoid any security device, mechanism, protocol, or procedure established by Lighthouse Consulting for use of or with the Website. Moreover, You also acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this Agreement by You may cause irreparable injury to Lighthouse Consulting and/or its licensors, such injury would not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and Lighthouse Consulting and/or its licensors would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that Lighthouse Consulting and/or its licensors (or on their behalf) shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this Agreement. Accordingly, You hereby waive any requirement that Lighthouse Consulting or its licensors post any bond or other security in the event any injunctive or equitable relief is sought by or awarded to Lighthouse Consulting to enforce any provision of this Agreement.

15. PRIVACY. We respect your privacy and the use and protection of your personally identifiable information. Please see our Privacy Policy located at www.lighthouseconsultinginc.com/Privacy for important information and disclosures relating to the collection and use of your personally identifiable information in connection with your use of the Website.

16. TERMINATION. Lighthouse Consulting also reserves the right at any time and on reasonable grounds, which shall include, without limitation, any reasonable belief of fraud, illegal activity, or actions or omissions that violate any term or condition of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement with You (including any registered account) in order to protect its name, business, or goodwill and/or any other user. You acknowledge and agree that Lighthouse Consulting shall have the sole right to determine in its reasonable discretion whether You are engaging in any unauthorized activity and/or violating any term or conditions of this Agreement. Lighthouse Consulting shall also not be responsible or liable for any damages or loss, such as loss of sales or profits, as a result of any termination of this Agreement in accordance with this section.

Any licenses from Lighthouse Consulting and any right to use the Website shall immediately cease upon termination of this Agreement. The provisions concerning feedback, Lighthouse Consulting’ ownership rights, representations and warranties, warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, governing law, enforcement, termination, and the miscellaneous terms will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

17. MISCELLANEOUS. The relationship between You and Lighthouse Consulting is and shall be that of independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or used to create or imply any relationship of partners, joint venturers, or employer and employee. You may not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or the license granted hereunder or delegate any of your duties specified herein, in whole or in part, without Lighthouse Consulting’ prior written consent. Any attempt of assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be void, of no effect, and a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lighthouse Consulting may assign this Agreement in whole or in part. Moreover, Lighthouse Consulting may delegate its rights and responsibilities or use contractors or agents to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. Failure by Lighthouse Consulting to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that or any subsequent default or failure of performance. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, You agree that unless it materially affects the entire intent and purpose of this Agreement, the invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall affect neither the validity of this Agreement nor the remaining provisions herein, and the provision in question shall be deemed to be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision most closely reflecting the intent and purpose of the original provision. Headings are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. This Agreement and Lighthouse Consulting’s Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein, represent the entire agreement between You and Lighthouse Consulting with respect to subject matter herein, and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between You and Lighthouse Consulting with respect to the Website. Please note that Lighthouse Consulting reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this Agreement and by which the Website is extended to You by providing You in writing or electronically a copy of such revised terms (or notice thereof).
