As a further condition of providing Uploads you (and any other individual depicted therein) unconditionally and irrevocably waive all claims to compensation for use of the Uploads by Aurora and its affiliates, and their respective representatives, employees, or assigns and/or any right with respect to such use you may have under copyright law, the right of publicity, the right of privacy, the law of defamation and/or any other common law or statutory claims under the laws of any jurisdiction.

Aurora reserves the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities requesting or directing Aurora to disclose the identity of anyone posting an upload or other information or materials.
11. Monitoring of the Site
Aurora may, from time to time, monitor, review, block or remove Uploads; however, Aurora is under no obligation to do so and assumes no responsibility or liability arising from such content nor for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger or inaccuracy contained in any Uploads. Users shall be solely responsible and liable for any Uploads, any activity or transactions that occur under their name or account, and any infringement of copyright, trademarks, or other rights. Aurora is not required to host, display, or distribute any Uploads, and may, in its sole discretion, remove at any time or refuse any Uploads for any reason. Aurora is not responsible for any loss, theft or damage of any kind to any Uploads.
12. Copyright Infringement Notification
Aurora respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask that you and all of our Site users do the same. If you believe that your copyrighted work is accessible on the Site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please contact us.
13. Site May Not Always Be Available or Accessible
Aurora does not guarantee that the Site will be operating or accessible at any given time. You should expect that the Site will periodically be taken off-line for maintenance, content and design updates, and other alterations that may make it unavailable. Aurora does not represent or warrant that the Site is compatible with your hardware or software applications or browsers.
14. Limitations on Liability
Your use of the Site is at your own risk. Aurora uses reasonable efforts to include accurate and up to date information in the Site; however, since information changes so quickly, Aurora is unable to make any warranties or representations as to its accuracy.
AURORA ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY AS TO THE RELIABILITY, ACCURACY, VALIDITY, TIMELINESS, USEFULNESS OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION ON THE SITE.
In no event shall Aurora or any other party involved in creating, producing or delivering the Site be liable for anything arising out of your access to, use of or inability to access or use, the Site including, but not limited to, any damages, including, without limitation, direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages, or damages resulting from lost profits, lost data or business interruption.
In no event shall Aurora’s maximum aggregate liability for any action arising out of or connected to the Site exceed one hundred US dollars ($100.00).
These limitations include but are not limited to damages to or viruses that may infect your computer equipment. Aurora does not guarantee or warrant that files that may be available for download from the Site will be free of infection from viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other code that manifests contaminating or destructive properties.
Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the Site is provided to you “AS IS” without representations, warranties, or covenants of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or use, non-infringement of the Site’s contents. Any claim and action arising out of or in any way connected with the Site must be brought within one (1) year after such cause of action arose.
You acknowledge and agree that by using the internet to use the Site, you may incur charges from your wireless carrier, internet service provider or other method of internet access, depending upon your contract or plan with your provider. You acknowledge that payment of any such charges will be your sole responsibility. You agree that your use of the Site will be in accordance with all requirements of your wireless carrier, internet service provider or other method of internet access.
Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or other items, and so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
15. Medical Information
The Site may contain information relating to various medical conditions and their treatment. This information is provided for general information only and does not constitute advice. Aurora does not provide, and is not intending to provide or providing medical advice, treatment or judgment. The content of the Site is not meant to be a substitute to the clinical judgment of your veterinarian or the clinical examination of an animal.
16. Void Where Prohibited
Use of any portion of the Site is void where prohibited by law. Although the information on the Site is accessible worldwide, not all products or services that may be discussed in or on the Site are available to all persons or in all geographic locations or jurisdictions. Check your local laws for any restrictions or limitations regarding the exclusion of implied warranties. Aurora reserves the right to limit provision of our products or services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction and/or to limit the quantities of any products or services we provide. You may not access the Site if you are a national or resident of any country to which the United States has embargoed goods, or if you or your affiliates are on the United States Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial and Prohibition Orders. Any offer for any product or service made in the materials on the Site is void where prohibited.
17. Indemnification
You should use the Site only if it is legal for you to do so. By using the Site, you represent to us that you intend to do so lawfully. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Aurora, its officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, service providers, licensors and third party partners from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any illegal use of the Site, any breach of your representations and warranties, or any violation by you of these Terms of Use, or any activity related to your account (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing the Site using your account.
18. Our Agreement and Modifications of It
These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy and any Site-specific terms or conditions (for example, terms and conditions that apply to any Upload), constitute the entire agreement between you and Aurora regarding the Site and supersede any and all other agreements, representations and understandings, whether written or oral. These Terms of Use may not be modified or amended by you without the prior written consent of Aurora. Aurora may modify or amend these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to you. You should regularly review these Terms of Use for any modifications or amendments to these Terms of Use as your continued use of the Site after a modification or amendment signifies your assent and agreement to these Terms of Use, as amended. If any clause or provision set forth in these Terms of Use is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future law, then you understand and agree that the clause or provision so determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable will be enforced to the extent permissible and shall be severable without affecting the enforceability of all remaining clauses or provisions, while still as fully as possible carrying out the intent of the original provision. Failure by Aurora to prosecute any right with respect to a default hereunder will not constitute a waiver by Aurora of the right to enforce rights with respect to the same or any other breach.
19. Governing Laws
These Terms of Use and your use of the Site and any information contained on the Site or products and services provided by the Site as well as personal information you may provide to us via the Site shall be governed by the laws and regulations of the United States of America and the State of Minnesota without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. Other countries may have laws, regulatory requirements and medical practices that differ from those in the United States.
20. Consent to Data Processing in the US and Other Countries
Aurora is a global company and the databases in which your personal information shall be stored may be located in the United States and other countries which may not guarantee the same level of protection for personal information as the one in which you reside. By using the Site, you consent to any transfer, processing or storing of personal information outside your country of residence.
21. Dispute Resolution
Any legal action or proceeding related to the Site shall be brought exclusively in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Minnesota.
