You are solely responsible for all use of the Output and evaluating the Output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including by utilizing human review as appropriate. Output, including any Laserfiche searchable documentation incorporated in such output, is made available solely on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Please do not submit any unsolicited ideas, original creative artwork, suggestions or other works in any form to Laserfiche or any of its employees.

If, despite our request that you not send us your ideas, you still submit your ideas to Laserfiche, then regardless of what your communication to Laserfiche says, these Terms will apply and your ideas will automatically be deemed to be Submission(s) under Section 5.

In addition, we reserve the right to delete or disable content alleged to be infringing the intellectual property rights of others and terminate accounts of infringers; provided that any such deletion or disabling of content, or any delay in doing so, shall not relieve you of any obligation to Laserfiche set forth herein or under applicable law with respect to any infringement of the intellectual property rights (e.g., copyright, trademark or patent), privacy or publicity rights, rights of confidentiality, or any other contractual obligations of any third party by content provided by you or your users. To report or submit a notice of alleged copyright infringement, please see our contact information under Section 16.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Laserfiche, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Site or Services, including any Software or other features, item, content that is not authorized by Laserfiche or, if authorized, is not in accordance with these Terms.
The Site and Services are provided as-is and as available. Compulink Management Center, Inc. dba Laserfiche and its shareholders, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, representatives, business partners, vendors, licensors, and advisors, whether jointly or severally (“Laserfiche Entities”), expressly disclaim any representations, warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, statutory or otherwise, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, non-infringement, fitness for a particular purpose and satisfactory purpose.
Neither Laserfiche nor any person associated with Laserfiche makes any representation or warranty with respect to the completeness, security, reliability, quality, accuracy, currentness or availability of the Site or Services, or any item, content, information or data, including any Software or Output, made available through the Site or Services.

You are responsible for implementing sufficient procedures and checkpoints to satisfy your particular requirements for anti-virus protection and accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a means external to our Site and Services for any reconstruction of any lost data.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer or exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages, or the disclaimer or waiver. To the extent that they are held to be legally invalid, or if Laserfiche may not, as a matter of law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of Laserfiche’s liability will be the minimum permitted under such applicable law. All other terms will remain in full force and effect.
IN NO EVENT WILL LASERFICHE ENTITIES BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, SERVICES, ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO THE SITE OR SERVICES, OR ANY ITEMS, CONTENT, INFORMATION OR DATA, INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE OR OUTPUT, MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES, WHETHER IT BE DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT (FORESEEABLE OR OTHERWISE), AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SITE AND SERVICES, AND ANY ITEMS, CONTENT, INFORMATION OR DATA, INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE OR OUTPUT, MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES, ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.
IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE ANY BASIS TO RECOVER DAMAGES IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR SERVICES OR BREACH OF THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE THAT OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO YOU, WILL NOT EXCEED IN AGGREGATE THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE MONTH IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING ANY SUCH CLAIM OR USD 100, WHICHEVER IS LESS. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT INCREASE SUCH LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. If a court or arbitrator holds that we cannot enforce a part of these Terms as written, we may replace those terms with similar terms to the extent enforceable under relevant law.
Laserfiche hopes that we don’t have a dispute and we are open to resolving any issues informally. At Laserfiche’s sole discretion, it may require you to submit any disputes arising from these Terms, or the use of the Site or Services, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, to final and binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You agree to submit to arbitration in Los Angeles, California.
Neither you or Laserfiche will enter class arbitration or bring any claims as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement and these Terms will remain in force. You will have the right to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by providing written notice of your intention to opt out within 30 days after the Effective Date of the latest Terms.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, any suit, claim, action or proceeding arising from or related to these Terms, or the use of the Site or Services, or any items, content, or information or data made available through the Site or Services, whether in contract or tort, must be instituted by you against Laserfiche Entities within one (1) year after the occurrence of any one or more of the acts, omissions, facts, conduct, events, claims or allegations upon which the action, proceeding or claim is based. Accordingly, you waive the benefit of any statute of limitations which specifies a period longer than one (1) year for filing an action or proceeding against any Laserfiche Entity.
All matters relating to these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms will be instituted exclusively in either the federal or California state courts located in the County of Los Angeles, California. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction and venue over you by such courts.
We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to you. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms or transfer any rights to use the Services or Site. Persons who are 18 years or younger, or not of the age of majority, may not use the Site or Services, and we ask that no information in relation to such individuals be submitted to Laserfiche. The English language version of these Terms and any notice or other document relating to these Terms shall prevail if there is a conflict or discrepancy between the English and any other language version of these Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Laserfiche regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous communications, course of dealing representations and agreements, whether oral or written, between Laserfiche and you with respect to the subject matter hereof. Laserfiche’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applied in connection with the construction or interpretation of these Terms.
