These Disclaimers are an agreement between the Jumpstarter Committee and you and govern your use of the services offered by our Site (“Services”) and all information on or submitted through it. Our Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions for Jumpstarter are part of these Disclaimers and is incorporated herein.
Your use of our Site or your provision to us of any content or personal information constitutes your agreement to these Disclaimers as amended from time to time. Do not use the Site or provide content or personal information to us if you do not agree to the Disclaimers or if your jurisdiction will not honor them.
Some users of this Site are employees or agents of business entities, so references to “you” in these cases means both: (1) any entity or individual that is your employer or for whom you act as agent, and (2) the “user” individually unless otherwise stated on the Site or in these Disclaimers.
If you are a person considered as a “minor” by your jurisdiction, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consent from your guardian, legal representative, or any other third parties, if required by your jurisdiction, to use this Site and to understand and fulfill your obligations under our Disclaimers, Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions for Jumpstarter (if applicable), and in these cases “you” means both: (1) your guardian, legal representative, or any other third parties, and (2) the “user” individually unless otherwise stated on the Site or in these Disclaimers.

You also agree that you will review, maintain, correct, and update such information in a timely manner to maintain its accuracy and completeness by using the means allowed for the relevant information or, when appropriate, by contacting us. If you provide (or the Jumpstarter Committee has reasonable grounds to believe that you provided) any information that is inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, the Jumpstarter Committee may suspend or terminate your application, grant or participation in an event, in addition to exercising all rights and remedies allowed by law without being liable to you.
