Your Right to Access and Use the Websites.
Your right to access and use the Websites is personal to you and is not transferable to any other person or entity. You may only access and use the Websites for lawful purposes and in accordance with this Agreement. The Websites are not intended for individuals under the age of eighteen (18). You must be eighteen (18) years of age or older to apply for employment with Bloc or any of its affiliates.
By accessing and using the Websites (other than to read this Agreement), you agree to abide by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any changes or revisions to this Agreement, which Bloc, in its sole discretion, may make in the future.
Any action by you that, as determined by Bloc, in its sole discretion, restricts, inhibits or prevents you or any other user from accessing, using or enjoying the Websites shall not be permitted. Any such action, or any other conduct that Bloc determines in its sole discretion to be unacceptable may result in your loss of the right to access and use the Websites.
Intellectual Property Rights
Images or videos of people or places displayed on the Websites are either the property of, or used with the permission of Bloc. The use of these images or videos by you, or anyone else authorized by you, is prohibited unless specifically permitted by this Agreement or specific permission provided elsewhere on the Websites. Any unauthorized use of the images or videos may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity and communications regulations and statutes.
The trademarks, logos and service marks (collectively the “Trademarks”) displayed on the Websites, and their respective logos are owned by Bloc or a third party. Nothing contained on the Websites should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed on the Websites without the written permission of Bloc or such third-party owners of the Trademarks. Any use of third-party Trademarks on the Websites is done either by permission of the Trademarks’ owners or is subject to the Fair Use provisions of international, Federal, and State intellectual property laws. No special association or relationship is intended by such use, and its use should not be construed as granting Bloc any official status with any third party, unless otherwise noted. Your misuse of the Trademarks displayed on the Websites, or any other content on the Websites is strictly prohibited. Bloc reserves the right to enforce its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law, including seeking criminal prosecution.
The data and content contained on or downloaded from the Websites (collectively, the “Content”) are copyrighted by Bloc or third parties. Bloc also owns a copyright of a collective work in the selection, coordination, arrangement and enhancement of the Content.
Subject to your compliance with this agreement, you may access, view, download, or print a single copy of the Content for your personal, non-commercial use; provided, however, that you shall not delete any proprietary notices or materials on the Content.
Except as otherwise permitted under the copyright laws of the United States, no other copying, distribution, redistribution, transmission, publication or use of the Content is permitted without the express prior written permission of Bloc or its licensors.
You agree that printing, downloading or otherwise using the Content in accordance with this Agreement does not entitle you to any ownership or intellectual property rights in the Content.
You shall be solely responsible for any damage resulting from your infringement of Bloc intellectual property, or any other harm incurred by Bloc as a direct or indirect result of your copying, distributing, redistributing, transmitting, publication or use of the Trademarks or the Content that is contrary to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

If you make any submission to or communications on the Websites, you automatically grant, or warrant that you and/or the owner of such content has expressly granted to Bloc, a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, unlimited, nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, create derivative works from, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform and display the communication or content material in any media or medium, or any form, format or forum now known or hereafter developed. Bloc may sublicense its rights through multiple tiers of sublicenses.
Limitations on Bloc's Liability
BLOC SHALL IN NO EVENT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE OR BUSINESS, AS A RESULT OF:

Indemnification
You shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Bloc, its subsidiaries and other affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents, representatives and affiliates from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of, or attributable to: (i) any breach or violation of this Agreement by you; and (ii) any access or use of the Websites.

The Websites may contain links to other websites. Bloc is not responsible for the availability of these external websites nor does Bloc endorse the activities or services provided by these websites.

Third Party Rights
This Agreement is for the benefit of Bloc, its subsidiaries, other affiliates, and third-party licensors, each of which shall have the right to enforce and assert the terms and conditions of this Agreement directly against you on its behalf. No other third-party rights are provided under these Terms of Use.
Amendments
Bloc reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion and without notice. Changes, revisions or deletions with regard to this Agreement shall be effective immediately upon its inclusion in, or deletion from, this Agreement and the posting of the same in this Agreement on the Websites.
You are encouraged to revisit this Agreement from time to time in order to review any changes that have been made. Your continued access to and use of the Websites following the posting of any such changes shall be deemed your acceptance of the same.
Remedies
You acknowledge that Bloc may be irreparably damaged if this Agreement is not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by you, Bloc shall be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement.
Disputes
Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your use of the Websites shall be brought in the courts of record of Delaware State.

You agree that service of any court paper may be effected by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.
Miscellaneous
This Agreement is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
If any portion of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement as a whole shall not be deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, but only that portion of this Agreement that is unlawful, void or unenforceable shall be stricken from this Agreement.
The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Agreement, and shall not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement, as may be amended by Bloc from time to time, shall survive your acceptance of this Agreement.
