Advertising Disclosures

Certain content on the Platform may be classified as advertising. Selecting a agency is a significant decision that should not be made solely based on advertisements. It’s crucial to thoughtfully consider this decision. The choice of a digital agency is a vital one. There is no claim that the employees are certified specialists or experts in any particular area of marketing. Nor is there a claim that the quality of services to be provided is superior to those provided by other agencies.

Anyone considering hiring a agency should independently verify the agency credentials and capabilities, rather than relying on advertisements or self-professed expertise. No representation is made here about your specific rights.

Governing Laws in Case of Dispute; Jurisdiction

The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Use shall be in alignment with the laws of the State of Illinois, USA, regardless of any conflict of law provisions. Any disagreements or conflicts that arise under these terms will be managed as outlined in the Arbitration section mentioned below.

Submissions

You bear the sole responsibility for any information, content, or material that you send to or through the Site (referred to as “Submissions”). Understand that Submissions are treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. Moreover, you provide RLC Media with an unrestricted, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, sub-licensable, global, royalty-free license to utilize, copy, reproduce, exhibit, publish, publicly perform, transmit, and distribute any Submission without owing compensation or accounting to you or anyone else.

Arbitration

Any claims you make that are connected to the Site or your use of it can only be resolved through a binding arbitration proceeding, conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Your agreement to arbitrate all controversies, disputes, and claims, as well as the results and awards from the arbitration, will be final and binding on you and can be legally enforced. Arbitration will be the exclusive method for resolving such issues, and you relinquish your rights to resolve these matters through court proceedings or any other means. You consent that a judgment may be entered on the award in any court with competent jurisdiction, therefore any award given will be binding. The arbitrator cannot consolidate claims of more than one person and cannot preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

By agreeing to arbitration as a mechanism to resolve all controversies, disputes, and claims between us, you understand that you are forfeiting certain rights, including the right to bring an action in court, the right to a jury trial, the right to comprehensive discovery, and the right to an appeal. You understand that in an arbitration context, a case is decided by one or more arbitrators, not by a judge or a jury.

The remaining provisions of these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy will continue with full force and effect. RLC Media’s inaction regarding a breach by you or others does not relinquish our right to address that breach or any subsequent or similar breaches. No approval or waiver by RLC Media will be considered valid unless provided in writing. These Terms of Use, in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, as each is currently posted, represent the complete agreement between RLC Media and you regarding your use of the Site, replacing all prior written or oral agreements concerning this subject matter. However, this agreement does not supersede, limit, or replace any agreements governing the attorney-client relationship between RLC Media and its clients.

RLC Media reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, to block and/or terminate your access to the Site if we determine that you have violated these Terms of Use or any other associated terms or agreements, or if you use the Site in a manner that we consider, at our sole discretion, to be unacceptable.
