Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the final, complete and exclusive agreement among the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether in written, oral, electronic, or other form, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any terms and conditions appearing on a purchase order or similar document issued by the Client do not apply to the Software Services, do not override or form part of this Agreement, and are void.

Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right. The waiver of any breach or provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of any different or subsequent breach.

All actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be heard and determined exclusively by the state and federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida and the parties hereby consent to and waive any objections with respect to such jurisdiction and venue.

Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. In the event that any provision or portion thereof is found by any court to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected, and the parties consent to such court's substitution of a valid and enforceable term that approximates the intent and effect of such invalid or unenforceable provision or portion.

Privacy Policy

Visitors and Clients Like most website operators, TableTop Science ("TableTop") collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, referring site, and the date and time of each request. TableTop's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how TableTop's Clients use its services. From time to time, TableTop may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its services.

TableTop also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. TableTop only discloses logged in user IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information Clients who sign up for services from TableTop are required to provide a valid first name, last name, and an active email address. This information is strictly for the use of our services.

TableTop does not have access to, or store, any financial data or financial-aid data related to its Clients. Financial transactions are handled by third-party vendors such as PayPal® or the Client's academic bookstore. Those third-parties are solely responsible for any data they might collect.

TableTop does not have access to, or store, any academic data related to its Clients. Academic matters are strictly between the Client, Client's instructor, and Client's academic institution. TableTop plays no role other than to provide its services.

In each case, TableTop collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the Client's interaction with TableTop. TableTop does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Aggregated Statistics TableTop may collect statistics about the behavior of Clients using its services. TableTop may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, TableTop does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information TableTop discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on TableTop's behalf or to provide services available at TableTop's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

TableTop will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, TableTop discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when TableTop believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of TableTop, third parties or the public at large.

TableTop takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the Client returns. TableTop uses cookies to help TableTop identify Clients, and enable usage of TableTop's services. TableTop's services will not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers If TableTop, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that TableTop goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, Client information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of TableTop may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Privacy Policy Changes Although most changes are likely to be minor, TableTop may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in TableTop's sole discretion. TableTop encourages Clients to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
