A portion of DisasterReady, DR+, NonprofitReady, NPR+, and VolunteerReady, VR+ requires registration (and, in some cases, payment) in order for you to access it. DR+, NPR+, and VR+ contain certain customizable enterprise features enabling organizations (each an “Entity”) to utilize learning management tools via a secure portal unique and private to their organization (an “Enterprise Portal”).

If such account is not reconfirmed, the account is removed. Once a user is removed from an Enterprise Portal, the content of that user remains on the applicable Enterprise Portal and is the sole property of the Entity which administers that Enterprise Portal.
Users should follow their particular Entity’s policies, guidelines, and procedures concerning the User Content they post to an Enterprise Portal. Users may delete their own User Content from an Enterprise Portal, so long as they are an authorized member of such Enterprise Portal.

Entire Agreement. The Agreement, including the Privacy Policy, the information provided to you and by you during the sign-up process and during the upgrade/downgrade of your account, and any other documents that are incorporated into this Agreement by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and CSODF and governs your use of DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady, superseding any prior agreements between you and CSODF (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Agreement). You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use other CSODF services, Third Party Content, third-party software or third-party services offered through DisasterReady, NonprofitReady, or VolunteerReady.
Choice of Law and Forum. You and CSODF each agree that this Agreement and the relationship between the parties shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions and that any and all claims, causes of action or disputes (regardless of theory) arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the relationship between you and CSODF, shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in the county of Los Angeles, California or the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. You and CSODF agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Los Angeles, California or the Central District of California, and agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over the parties by such courts and to venue in such courts.
Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of CSODF to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Agreement or incorporated documents is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
Statute of Limitations. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
Titles. The section titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
Force Majeure. CSODF shall not be responsible to you as a result of any delay or default in carrying out its obligations hereunder which is due in whole or in part to an event beyond of the control of CSODF.
