It contains important contract rights and obligations between you (“User”) and CATC, its suppliers, licensors, and affiliates (“We”, “Us” or “Our”), as well as important limitations on those rights. Your continued use of the Service constitutes Agreement to these terms. 1. CATC consists of services, information and other content provided by Us, Our licensors, Users (a “User” or “you” is defined as one who visits, reads, participates in, or otherwise makes use of the Service), and other third parties. This agreement and any operating rules published over the Service constitute the entire agreement (collectively, the “User Agreement”) between Martin Group and User, with respect to the Service. 2. Upon notice published over the Service, We may modify or supplement this User Agreement and may discontinue or revise any or all other aspects of the Service (including access to support services, publications and other products or services ancillary to the Service) in Our sole discretion and without prior notice. In particular, We specifically reserve the right in Our sole discretion to modify, supplement, delete, discontinue or remove any software, file, publications, information, communication or other content appearing on or transmitted through the Service. User access to or use of the Service on or after notice of such changes are published or displayed over the Service, constitutes your acceptance of such modifications. 3. Subject to the terms of this User Agreement, We grant to User a personal, non-exclusive, nonassignable and nontransferable license to use and display all software included in the Service (“Software”) on any machine(s) of which User is the primary user. Unauthorized copying of the Software, including software that has been modified, merged or included with the Software, or the written materials associated therewith is expressly forbidden. Although User may designate family members to use the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, a User may not sublicense, assign or transfer this license or the Software. We may, at Our discretion, revoke the license granted to User. 4. User shall be responsible for all use of the Service accessed through User’s account, as defined by User’s cookie(s), password(s), or authentication certificate(s), and hereby ratifies and guarantees any obligations entered or assumed by others who use the Service through User’s account. User acknowledges that since the Service allows Users and others to distribute content, the Service may contain materials and/or links to materials that some Users or others may find objectionable, despite the prohibitions in Section 8 of this Agreement. As a result, User assumes responsibility for, acknowledges that We have no responsibility for, and agrees to indemnify and hold Us harmless from any loss User may suffer from use of the Service. 5.

Neither We nor any of the information providers, licensors, suppliers, employees, or agents that provide access to the Service (a) warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error free, (b) make any warranty as to the results to be obtained from use of the Service, (c) shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of the use of the Service or inability to use or gain access to the Service or out of any breach of any warranty, or damages related to any virus transmitted or received through use of the Service.

Any Waiver of this User Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the party to be bound. 16. The Service employs security measures consistent with those employed in the on line industry. Please be advised that while such security features diminish the likelihood that information or communications will be compromised or lost, no technology is totally tamper-proof. Accordingly, We advise each User not to communicate highly sensitive personal or business information over the Internet that absolutely cannot be lost. We disclaim responsibility for any such communication and for the unauthorized breach of its system or misuse of confidential data. We also recommend that Users employ security procedures on their own computers and systems to also reduce vulnerability to unauthorized third party access. In the event of tampering, hacking or misuse by any person, We reserve the right to take any and all actions at law or equity appropriate to protect its legal interests. 17. While We collect certain registration information and other Aggregate Information, We understand the importance of protecting the privacy of Our Users.

Each User, by agreeing to the terms hereof, acknowledges that they have read and understood our privacy policy and agree to be bound by the terms thereof. 18. If any provision of this User Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, each party agrees that such provision shall be enforced to the maximum permissible and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this User Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
