1. Accepting These Terms
​
These Terms of Service and the documents/policies they incorporate by reference, including our Privacy, make up our rules, or what we officially call our Terms of Service (or Terms for short). The Terms are a legally binding contract between you and OhioAMF.
Please note that Section 12, Disputes with OhioAMF, contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to the Terms, you agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and that you waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions.
This contract sets out your rights and responsibilities when you access/use our Services, so please read it carefully. By accessing/using any of our Services (even just browsing one of our websites or social media platforms), you’re agreeing to the Terms. If you don’t agree with the Terms, you may not access/use our Services.
Our Services are not directed to nor do we knowingly collect or maintain information from a minor, which we consider to be anyone under 18 years of age. Minors under 13 years of age are not permitted to use our Services. By using our Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or legal guardian of such a minor over the age of 13 and you consent to such minor’s use of our Services. You are responsible for any and all activity conducted by a minor while using our Services.​
​
2. Your Privacy
​
We know your personal information is important to you, so it’s important to us. Our Privacy Policy, available on our website, details how your information is used when you access/use our Services. By accessing/using our Services, you're also agreeing that we can process your information in the ways set out in the Privacy Policy, so please read it on our website.​
​
3. Your Account with OhioAMF
​
Having an account with us is completely voluntary and free. You may place an order/checkout as a guest accessing/using our Services or you may create a free account. Whether you place an order as a guest or create a free account and place an order, you must provide us with a valid email address in order to receive order-related messages. We may also contact you by telephone to provide support or for order-related purposes. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of our Services (or any portion thereof).
You're responsible for your account. You’re solely responsible for any activity on your account. If you’re sharing an account with other people, then the person whose financial information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity. If you’re registering as a business entity, you personally guarantee that you have the authority to agree to the Terms on behalf of the business. Also, your accounts are not transferable.
Protect your password. As we mentioned above, you’re solely responsible for any activity on your account, so it’s important to keep your account password secure.
Let's be clear about our relationship. These Terms don't create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchisee relationship between you and OhioAMF.
​
4. Your Order and Payment
​
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate order and account information for all orders made using our Services. You further agree to promptly update your account and payment information, including your email address, credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your orders and contact you as needed.
You agree to pay all charges at the prices then in effect for your order and any applicable shipping fees and taxes, and you authorize us to charge your chosen payment provider for any such amounts upon placing your order. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing, even if we have already requested or received payment. All payments shall be in U.S. dollars. Packages being shipped within the state of Ohio will be charged the applicable state and county sales tax upon checkout.
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities ordered per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e‑mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors. ​
​
5. Your Content
​
Your Content refers to anything (words, phrases, comments, suggestions, feedback, ideas, proposals, plans, graphics, photographs, videos, or other materials, etc.) you may provide to OhioAMF using any form of communication (online, live chat, instant message, social media, email, postal mail, telephone, etc.) or post on any of OhioAMF Services, including our website and all social media platforms.
Responsibility for Your Content
​
You understand that you are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that you have all necessary rights to Your Content and that you’re not infringing or violating any third party’s rights by posting it.
Permission to Use Your Content
​
By providing us Your Content, you grant OhioAMF a license to use it to use it to help OhioAMF function and grow. For example, you acknowledge and agree OhioAMF may use Your Content all or in part, in any of our marketing efforts. You agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any of Your Content you provide to us for any purpose without acknowledgement or compensation to you.
Rights You Grant OhioAMF
​
Here’s the legalese version of the last section. By posting Your Content, you grant OhioAMF a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use, publish, display, edit, modify, reproduce, distribute, store, and prepare derivative works of Your Content for any purpose without acknowledgement or compensation to you. We are and shall be under no obligation to maintain any of Your Content in confidence or to respond to any of Your Content. This allows us to provide our Services and to promote OhioAMF or our Services in general, in any formats and through any channels, including across any of our Services, our partners, or third-party website or advertising medium. You agree not to assert any moral rights or rights of publicity against us for using Your Content. You also recognize our legitimate interest in using it, in accordance with the scope of this license, to the extent Your Content contains any personal information. You agree there shall be no recourse against us for any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of any proprietary right in Your Content.
That sounds like a lot, but it’s necessary for us to keep OhioAMF going. Consider this example: if you post a photo of yourself on our Facebook page or a product review on our website, we have permission to display it to users/customers, and we can resize it so it looks good to a user/customer. We can feature your photo or product review in any part of our Services, including on our website, on any of our social media platforms, in any of our blogs or marketing emails, or even on a billboard to help promote our Services.
Inappropriate, False, or Misleading Content
​
This should be common sense, but there are certain types of content we don’t want posted/used on any of our Services (for legal reasons or otherwise). You agree that you will not post/use Your Content in a manner that is unlawful, abusive, threatening, defamatory, libelous, or in any way violates someone else’s privacy, or is in any way in violation of any part of our Terms, and Your Content will not contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of any of our Services. You also agree to not post/use Your Content in a false, misleading or deceptive manner. You agree to not pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third-parties as to the origin of any of Your Content. You are solely responsible for Your Content and the way in which you post/use Your Content. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by you or any third-party. We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove content that we determine in our sole discretion is in the best interest of OhioAMF.​
​
6. Your Access/Use of Our Services
License to Access/Use Our Services. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use our Services - subject to the Terms, and the following restrictions in particular:
Don’t Use Our Services to Break the Law

You agree not to infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of our Services, including our ideas, designs and products, use of our Services, or access to our Services or any contact(s) provided within our Services, without express written permission by us.

Communicating With Us
​
From time to time, OhioAMF may provide you with certain legal information in writing. By using our Services, you’re agreeing that we can send you information electronically (such as by email) instead of mailing you paper copies, and that your electronic agreement is the same as your signature on paper.
As outlined in our Privacy Policy, we take steps to limit the promotional content we send you to a reasonable and proportionate level, and to send you information which we believe may be of interest or relevance to you, based on your information. You can opt out of receiving marketing email communications from us at any time by following the instructions provided in those communications. You can unsubscribe from our marketing lists (email and/or SMS – text messaging) at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails or sending a text message reply “STOP” to any of our text messages. Or you may contact us directly at info@ohioamf.org. You will then be removed from the marketing lists – however, we will still need to send you service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account and any orders you place. To close your account contact us via our email.
We reserve the right to terminate your use of our Services for violating any part of our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

​
Our Services, Including Products
​
You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, our Services, including our products, is at your sole risk. Our Services and all products and services delivered to you through our Services are (except as expressly stated by us) provided “as is” and “as available” for your use, without any representation, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.
In no case shall OhioAMF, our employees, interns, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation to lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of our Services, including products, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of our Services, including products, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of our Services or products, posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the service, even if advised of their possibility. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Content You Access
​
You may come across products or information (including words, phrases, comments, suggestions, feedback, ideas, proposals, plans, graphics, photographs, videos, or other materials, etc.) that you find offensive or inappropriate while using our Services. We make no representations concerning any content posted by other users/customers through our Services.

Third-Party Tools
​
As part of our Services, we may provide you with access to third-party websites, content, services or products (collectively referred to as “Tools”) over which we neither monitor, nor have any control nor input. Some of these Tools are optional for you to access/use (e.g. PayPal, using your Facebook or Google account to log into your Wise Jester account, etc.). When you access/use these optional third-party Tools, you do so at your own risk. The third parties may require you to accept their own terms of use and privacy policies. OhioAMF is not a party to those agreements; they are solely between you and the third-party. Please see our Privacy Policy for more details about how third parties may collect and use your personal information.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such optional third-party Tools “as is” and “as available” without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party Tools (e.g. PayPal, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, etc.). Any use by you of optional third-party Tools offered through our Services is entirely at your own risk and discretion and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s). We may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through our Services (including, the release of new optional third-party Tools). Such new features and/or services shall also be subject to these Terms.
Third-Party Links
​
Certain content, products and services available via our Services may include materials from third-parties. Third-party links on our Services may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials, websites, links, Tools, or for any other materials, products, or services of third-parties. We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products should be directed to the third-party.
Errors, Inaccuracies and Omissions
Occasionally there may be information contained within our Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information in our Services is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order).
We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information in our Services, including without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law.

We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of any part of our Services.​
​
10. Indemnification (or What Happens If You Get Us Sued)
​
We hope this never happens, but if OhioAMF gets sued because of something that you did, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless OhioAMF, including any parent company, any of our employees, interns, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim or demand (including reasonable lawyer’s fees and expenses) that arises from your actions, your use (or misuse) of our Services, your breach of the Terms, your violation of any law or your infringement of someone else’s rights, your overt harmful act toward any other user/customer of our Services with whom you connected via our Services.
We reserve the right to handle our legal defense however we see fit, even if you are indemnifying us, in which case you agree to cooperate with us so we can execute our strategy.​
​
11. Disputes With Other Users/Customers
​
If you find yourself in a dispute with another user of our Services or a third-party, we encourage you to contact the other user/party and try to resolve the dispute amicably. You release OhioAMF from any claims, demands, and damages arising out of disputes with other users or parties.​
​
12. Disputes with OhioAMF
​
If you’re upset with us, let us know, and hopefully we can resolve your issue. But if we can’t, then these rules will govern any legal dispute involving our Services:
Governing Law
​
Our Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and the laws of the United States of America. These laws will apply no matter where in the world you live, but if you live outside of the United States, you may be entitled to the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local consumer protection law.
Arbitration
​
You and OhioAMF agree that any dispute or claim arising from or relating to our Terms shall be finally settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org, then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms of Service), unless otherwise required by law. Arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the dispute, will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction.
Any arbitration under our Terms will take place on an individual basis. You agree that any arbitration shall be limited to dispute between parties individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
You understand that by agreeing to the Terms, you and OhioAMF are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court, and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis.
Costs of Arbitration
​
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules Payment for any and all reasonable AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules, and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules.
Forum
​
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. We’re based in Ohio, so any legal action against OhioAMF related to our Services must be filed and take place in Clermont County, Ohio. For all actions under the AAA Rules, the proceedings may be filed where your residence is, or in Clermont County, Ohio, and any in-person hearings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties taking into account their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. For any actions not subject to arbitration, you and OhioAMF agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state or federal court located in Clermont County, Ohio.
Modifications
​
If we make any changes to this “Disputes with OhioAMF” section after the date you last accepted the Terms, those changes will not apply to any claims filed in a legal proceeding against OhioAMF prior to the date the changes became effective.​
​
13. Changes to the Terms
​
You can review the most current version of the Terms, at any time on our website www.ohioamf.org. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Terms, by posting updates and changes to our website. The updated version will be indicated by an updated date, will be effective as soon as it is accessible on our website and will replace any previous versions. It is your responsibility to check our website periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to our website or any of our Services following the posting of any changes to these Terms, constitutes acceptance of those changes. You understand that the headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.​
​
14. Entire Agreement
​
These Terms constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use our Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms). Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against OhioAMF.
If any part of the Terms is found to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Our failure to exercise or enforce any part of the Terms is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Terms. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms.​
​
