    3. You means any individual who has accessed APICS Materials.
  2. APICS Terms of Use (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between You and Your Corporate Member, if applicable, (individually and collectively referred to as “Users”) and APICS, Inc. (“APICS”) establishing the terms and conditions under which Users may access APICS Materials.  By paying an invoice or accessing of any APICS Materials, Users expressly agree to these Terms.  Moreover, these Terms supersede any terms and conditions contained in any purchase order(s).
  3. If Users do not accept these Terms, do not process an invoice or access APICS Materials.

  5. Users shall not use APICS’ service marks, trademarks and logos without the APICS’ prior written consent, and if such consent is provided, in a manner approved by APICS.
  6. Disclaimer.  APICS DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THE INFORMATION AND MATERIALS (EDUCATIONAL OR OTHERWISE) PRESENTED, DISTRIBUTED, OR MADE AVAILABLE BY APICS OR INSTRUCTOR TO USERS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
  7. Limitation of Liability.   IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR: (i) ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR USE OF ANY APICS MATERIALS; OR (ii) ANY CLAIM ALLEGING THAT THESE TERMS OR APICS MATERIALS ARE DEFICIENT OR INADEQUATE; OR (iii) ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF INSTRUCTOR.  THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS UPON DAMAGES AND CLAIMS SHALL APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER ANY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS HAS BEEN BREACHED OR PROVEN INEFFECTIVE.  IF ANY PORTION OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, BE HELD BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE UNENFORCEABLE OR IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THAT PORTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID, AND THE REMAINING PROVISIONS SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.  IN THE EVENT OF NON-PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THESE TERMS BY APICS, APICS' TOTAL LIABILITY TO USERS SHALL IN NO EVENT BE MORE THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT USERS HAVE PAID APICS IN THE LAST TWELVE (12) MONTHS.  THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, AND ALL OTHER TYPES OF ECONOMIC DAMAGES.  THIS LIMITATION WILL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS RELATED TO A PARTY’S (i) FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAWS, OR (ii) BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY, OR (iii) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY, BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
  8. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.  Neither party may transfer or assign its rights or obligations under these Terms without the other party’s express written consent.  In the event that any term of these Terms is, becomes, or is declared to be invalid or void by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such terms shall be null and void and shall be deemed severed from these Terms and all the remaining terms of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.  Any failure by a party to insist upon strict performance of any term, covenant, or condition contained herein shall not be deemed a waiver of that party’s right to insist upon the strict performance of such term, condition or covenant in the future.  Both parties shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations in performing their duties hereunder and in any of their dealings.
  9. Notices of Changes to APICS Terms of Use.  In the event of any change to APICS’ Terms of Use, notice of such changes will be posted on the APICS website.   Any changes to these Terms will become effective when we post the revised APICS’ Terms of Use on the APICS website. Your use of the APICS website or payment of an APICS invoice, following these changes means that you accept the revised APICS’ Terms of Use.
  10. Your invoice is non-refundable.  APICS has no obligation to reimburse any User for any portion of this invoice for any reason.
  11. APICS may, from time to time, update and revise these Terms.
