1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by J.C. Ernst and Company (referred to as “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including its pages, information, features, and content (collectively, the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. You must use the Site in accordance with applicable law.
2. Scope of the Website
The Site provides general information about J.C. Ernst and Company, its projects, affiliated brands, ventures, and related activities. The Site is primarily informational. Particular businesses, products, services, bookings, purchases, or other transactions may be governed by separate terms, policies, or agreements presented by the applicable venture or provider. If separate terms conflict with these Terms concerning a specific transaction or service, the more specific terms govern that transaction or service.
3. Permitted Use
You may access and use the Site for lawful personal or legitimate business purposes. You agree not to misuse the Site, attempt to gain unauthorized access to it or its systems, interfere with its operation or security, introduce malicious code, scrape or extract content through automated means without permission, impersonate others, or use the Site in a manner that infringes another party’s rights.
4. Website Content and Accuracy
We endeavor to present useful, accurate information, but the Site may contain errors, omissions, outdated material, or changes in project descriptions, offerings, pricing, availability, timelines, or specifications. Content is provided for general informational purposes and is not a binding offer or a substitute for tailored professional advice. We may update, correct, remove, or discontinue content or features without notice.
5. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the Site and its text, designs, graphics, logos, images, and other content are owned by or licensed to the Company or its respective rights holders and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may view and print limited portions for personal, noncommercial reference, provided you retain any notices and do not modify the content. No other license or rights are granted without prior written permission. Names and marks of third parties remain the property of their respective owners.
6. Third-Party Websites and Ventures
The Site may link to websites or services operated by affiliated ventures, business partners, or independent third parties. Those destinations may have their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control independent third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, security, availability, or practices. A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement or guarantee.
7. Communications and Submissions
If you contact us through a form, email, or other feature, you agree to provide accurate information and not submit unlawful, misleading, confidential third-party, or infringing materials. Do not transmit sensitive personal, financial, medical, or other confidential information through general contact forms unless a secure method is expressly provided. Communications through the Site do not, by themselves, establish a client, fiduciary, advisory, or other professional relationship. We may use the information you voluntarily provide to respond to your inquiry, subject to our applicable Privacy Policy.
8. Privacy
Your use of the Site may involve collection and processing of information as described in the Site’s Privacy Policy, where available. Please review that policy for details regarding data practices and your choices. These Terms do not replace the Privacy Policy.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES WARRANTIES OR RIGHTS THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND REPRESENTATIVES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE. NOTHING HERE LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE LIMITED, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR OTHER NON-WAIVABLE OBLIGATIONS WHERE APPLICABLE.
11. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its representatives from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising out of your unlawful use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights. This provision does not apply where prohibited by law.
12. Availability and Security
We may suspend, restrict, modify, or discontinue all or part of the Site for maintenance, security, legal, or operational reasons. Although we may take reasonable steps to maintain security, no internet-based website can be guaranteed completely secure or continuously available. You are responsible for maintaining appropriate safeguards on your own devices and connections.
13. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent mandatory consumer protection or other applicable laws require otherwise. Subject to applicable law, disputes relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought in courts of competent jurisdiction located in Louisiana. This provision does not deprive you of legal rights that cannot be waived.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time by posting an updated version on the Site and changing the effective date. Changes apply prospectively from the posted effective date unless applicable law requires otherwise. Your continued use of the Site after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms where legally permitted.
15. Severability and Entire Agreement
If a provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent permitted by law. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. These Terms, together with expressly incorporated policies and any applicable venture-specific terms, comprise the agreement governing use of the Site.
