Violation of Terms and Liquidated Damages

Please report any violations of the TOU by sending an email to sarahjane@foodallergycounseling.org .

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

You understand and agree that, because damages are often difficult to quantify, if it becomes necessary for Academy of Food Allergy Counseling to pursue legal action to enforce the TOU, you will be liable to pay Academy of Food Allergy Counseling the following amounts as liquidated damages, which you accept as reasonable estimates of Academy of Food Allergy Counseling’s damages for the specified breaches of the TOU:

This provision does not apply to messages that are lawful non-deceptive parodies of public figures.

If Academy of Food Allergy Counseling establishes limits on the frequency with which you may access the Service, or terminates your access to or use of the Service, you agree to pay Academy of Food Allergy Counseling one hundred dollars ($100) for each message posted in excess of such limits or for each day on which you access Academy of Food Allergy Counseling in excess of such limits, whichever is higher.

If you send unsolicited email advertisements to Academy of Food Allergy Counseling email addresses or through Academy of Food Allergy Counseling computer systems, you agree to pay Academy of Food Allergy Counseling twenty five dollars ($25) for each such email.

If you post Content in violation of the TOU, other than as described above, you agree to pay Academy of Food Allergy Counseling one hundred dollars ($100) for each item of Content posted. In its sole discretion, Academy of Food Allergy Counseling may elect to issue a warning before assessing damages.

If you are a Posting Agent that uses the Service in violation of the TOU, in addition to any liquidated damages under clause (d), you agree to pay Academy of Food Allergy Counseling one hundred dollars ($100) for each and every item of Content posted in violation of the TOU. A Posting Agent will also be deemed an agent of the party engaging the Posting Agent to access the Service (the “Principal”), and the Principal (by engaging the Posting Agent in violation of the TOU) agrees to pay Academy of Food Allergy Counseling an additional one hundred dollars ($100) for each item of Content posted by the Posting Agent on behalf of the principal in violation of the TOU.
