  2. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH webElect.net . Your use of webElect.net's products, software, services and web sites (referred to collectively as the "Services" in this document and excluding any services provided to you by webElect.net under a separate written agreement) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and webElect.net. "webElect.net" means webElect.net LLC, whose principal place of business is at 1256 Vinetree Drive, Brandon, FL 33510. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of that agreement.
    • Unless otherwise agreed in writing with webElect.net, your agreement with webElect.net will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in this document. These are referred to below as the "Universal Terms".
    • Your agreement with webElect.net will also include the terms of any Legal Notices applicable to the Services, in addition to the Universal Terms. All of these are referred to below as the "Additional Terms". Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, that Service.
    • The Universal Terms, together with the Additional Terms, form a legally binding agreement between you and webElect.net in relation to your use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the "Terms".
    • If there is any contradiction between what the Additional Terms say and what the Universal Terms say, then the Additional Terms shall take precedence in relation to that Service.
  3. ACCEPTING THE TERMS . In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the Terms. You may not use the Services if you do not accept the Terms. You can accept the Terms by:

  4. DESCRIPTION OF WEBELECT.NET SERVICE . webElect.net is a fee based service which provides data management software for political campaigns. Data managed by the software includes voter registration, campaign finance, user defined groups, and calendar functions. The software allows for multiple level queries of the data and has several formats available for extracting the queried data. The Campaign Finance tool allows for a seamless data upload to the State of Florida Division Elections for simplified campaign finance reporting. All functions of webElect.net are web-based applications allowing the user to access data from webElect.net, including any data created by the user, from any appropriately equipped internet-connected device. Thus, availability of data and program functions is limited only by internet connectivity.

  15. ENDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH webElect.net. The Terms will continue to apply until terminated by either you or webElect.net as set out below. If you want to terminate your legal agreement with webElect.net, you may do so by (a) notifying webElect.net at any time and (b) closing your accounts for all of the Services which you use, where webElect.net has made this option available to you. Your notice should be sent, in writing, to webElect.net's address which is set out at the beginning of these Terms. webElect.net may at any time, terminate its legal agreement with you if:
    • you have breached any provision of the Terms (or have acted in manner which clearly shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to comply with the provisions of the Terms); or
    • webElect.net is required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Services to you is, or becomes, unlawful); or
    • the partner with whom webElect.net offered the Services to you has terminated its relationship with webElect.net or ceased to offer the Services to you; or
    • webElect.net is transitioning to no longer providing the Services to users in the State in which you are resident or from which you use the service; or
    • the provision of the Services to you by webElect.net is, in webElect.net's opinion, no longer commercially viable.
    Nothing in this Section shall affect webElect.net's rights regarding provision of Services under Section 6 of the Terms.

  16. EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES. Nothing in these terms, including sections 18 and 19, shall exclude or limit webElect.net's warranty of liability for losses which may not be lawfully excluded or limited by applicable law.

    • Any loss or damage which may be incurred by you, including but not limited to loss or damage as a result of:

        • Your failure to provide webElect.net with accurate account information;
        • Your failure to keep your password or account details secure and confidential;
    The limitation on webElect.net's liability to you in section 19 above shall apply whether or not webElect.net has been advised of or should have been aware of the possibility of any such losses arising.
  18. OTHER CONTENT. The Services may include hyperlinks to other web sites or content or resources. webElect.net may have no control over any web sites or resources which are provided by companies or persons other than webElect.net. You acknowledge and agree that webElect.net is not responsible for the availability of any such external sites or resources, and does not endorse any advertising, products or other materials on or available from such web sites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that webElect.net is not liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred by you as a result of the availability of those external sites or resources, or as a result of any reliance placed by you on the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, products or other materials on, or available from, such web sites or resources.
  19. CHANGES TO THE TERMS. webElect.net may make changes to the Universal Terms or Additional Terms from time to time. When these changes are made, webElect.net will make a new copy of the Universal Terms available at  http://webelect.net/pub/docs/show/terms-of-service and any new Additional Terms will be made available to you from within, or through, the affected Services. You understand and agree that if you use the Services after the date on which the Universal Terms or Additional Terms have changed, webElect.net will treat your use as acceptance of the updated Universal Terms or Additional Terms.
  20. GENERAL LEGAL TERMS.
    • The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and webElect.net and govern your use of the Services (but excluding any services which webElect.net may provide to you under a separate written agreement, be it through webElect.net or one of the other webElect.net lines of business), and completely replace any prior agreements between you and webElect.net in relation to the Services.
    • You agree that webElect.net may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Services.
    • You agree that if webElect.net does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which webElect.net has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of webElect.net's rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to webElect.net.
    • If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.
    • You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which webElect.net is the parent shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms and that such other companies shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of the Terms which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Other than this, no other person or company shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms.
    • The Terms, and your relationship with webElect.net under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You and webElect.net agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Hillsborough, Florida to resolve any legal matter arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that webElect.net shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
