These Terms are a legal agreement between Blythe Lions Club, Chapter 2644 (“BLC,” “our” and “we”), and you (also referred to as “your”) that governs the Blythe Lions Club website, mobile app, related documentation, and information and content provided through the application or through www.blythelionsclub.org and any other connected applications (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are designed to connect the community to Blythe Lions Club and other Lions Clubs serving the surrounding communities.

You agree to periodically review these Terms for changes and you can review the most current Terms at any time at https://www.blythelionsclub.org/terms-of-use. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any updated Terms indicates your acceptance of the updated Terms, even if you have not reviewed them.

NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS 

BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 

International Use 

If you are not a United States resident and you are accessing the Services from outside the United States, you agree to transfer certain information outside your home country to us and that you will follow all the laws that apply to you. 

BLC’s servers and operations are located primarily in the United States and our policies and procedures are based primarily on United States law. Because of this, the following provisions apply specifically to users located outside of the United States: (i) you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information (including Submissions and personal data) to and in the United States and/or other countries; (ii) if you are using the Services from a country embargoed by the United States, or are on the United States Treasury Department’s list of “Specially Designated Nationals,” you are not authorized to access or use the Services; and (iii) you agree to comply with all local laws, rules, and regulations including all laws, rules, and regulations in effect in the country in which you reside and the country from which you access the Services. The Services are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject BLC or its affiliates to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. 

Governing Law 

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Riverside County, California, other than for actions to enforce any order or judgment entered by such courts. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR MYLION APP MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. 

General 

You and BLC intend that the provisions of these Terms be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Where these terms are translated into languages other than English for your convenience, the English language version is controlling. If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You and BLC agree that if any provision is deemed unenforceable, where possible it will be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, which may include its deletion. Section titles are only for convenience and have no legal or contractual significance. Any list of examples following “including” or “e.g.,” is illustrative and not exhaustive, unless qualified by terms like “only” or “solely”. BLC may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice to you. You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights, if any, in your Account, to the Services, or under these Terms. If, at any time, BLC fails to respond to a breach of these Terms by you or others, that failure will not waive BLC’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. A waiver will only be binding on BLC if it is in writing and signed by BLC. These Terms (including any incorporated terms or policies) constitute the entire agreement between you and BLC with respect to your Account and the Services. Both you and BLC warrant to each other that, in entering these Terms, neither BLC nor you have relied on or will have any right or remedy based upon any statement, representation, warranty, or assurance other than those expressly stated in these Terms. The preceding sentence will not limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. No one other than you and BLC, or BLC’s successors and permitted assigns, will have any right to enforce any of these Terms.
