Do Not Track Disclosures
Third-parties such as advertising networks, analytics providers, and widget providers may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you access or use our Services. Currently, various browsers offer a “Do Not Track” option, but there is no standard for how Do Not Track should work on commercial websites. Due to lack of such standards, the Site does not respond to Do Not Track consumer browser settings.

This Site is controlled and operated by ICV in the United States. If you choose to access the Site from outside the United States, you acknowledge that you will be transferring your information, possibly including Personal Information, outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing, as necessary to provide to you the services available through the Site. Where required, we comply with applicable legal frameworks relating to the collection, storage, use, and transfer of Personal Information.

In addition, while we take efforts to ensure the proper and appropriate use of data by our service providers that may receive your information from us, we are not responsible for any injuries, loss, or damage of any kind arising from or in connection with the use and/or misuse of your information caused by those service providers. In no event will ICV be liable to you for any incidental, special, consequential, direct, indirect, or punitive damages, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, whether or not ICV has been informed of the possibility of such damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or limitation of liability in certain circumstances. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

Otherwise, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any material changes to the Terms, including, but not limited to, by posting a notice to the Site. Your continued use of the Site following notice will be deemed acceptance of any modifications to the Terms.

- No Waiver. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of the Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.
