TERMS OF USE

RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

THIS TERMS OF USE, RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY (the “Release”) is entered into by and between S-L DISTRIBUTION COMPANY, LLC (“S-L”) and the Independent Business Owner (“IBO”) accessing the site. For purposes of the representations, warranties and obligations of IBO, the term IBO shall be used to refer collectively and individually to the IBO, the Authorized Representative (as defined in Section B) and the IBO Parties (as defined in Section C).

A. INTRODUCTION
S-L is offering the use of the My Route Mobile Application (“My Route”) to provide information concerning real-time IBO sales, purchases and warehouse inventory availability to provide IBOs assistance in optimization of their business operations (the “Purpose”). IBO acknowledges, represents and warrants that S-L has not required the IBO to utilize My Route and that IBO will use My Route solely for the Purpose indicated herein. The term ‘My Route’ shall include, but not be limited to, the My Route application and/or webpage, its associated software, coding, the Internet web browser utilized to access My Route, the Internet connection and any and all other processes, devices or programs of any kind or nature related thereto.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY.
By accessing or using My Route, IBO is agreeing to comply with these Terms of Use (the “Terms”). The Terms are not meant to alter in any way the terms and conditions contained in the current distributor agreement (“Distributor Agreement”) IBO has entered into with S-L, if any. To the extent that there is any conflict between these Terms and any terms and conditions in the Distributor Agreement, the terms and conditions in the Distributor Agreement will control.

B. AUTHORITY
By logging into or otherwise using My Route or the information contained therein, IBO and the individual accessing My Route represent and warrant that the individual in possession of the IBO’s operator number and handheld login number is an authorized representative of IBO (the “Authorized Representative”), has the authority to bind IBO, and that IBO and its Authorized Representative are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, representations and warranties set forth in the Terms.

C. SECURITY
IBO represents and warrants that S-L may rely on the authority of anyone accessing the IBO My Route account and any inquiries, orders other communications sent thereunder and in no event and under no circumstances shall S-L be held liable to IBO, its Authorized Representative, employees, owners, officers, directors, assigns, affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors or successors, or any other related party (collectively and individually, the “IBO Parties”), for any liabilities or damages resulting from or arising out of (i) any action or inaction of S-L under this provision; (ii) any compromise of the confidentiality or unauthorized access of the IBO My Route account or password; or (iii) any compromise of the confidentiality or unauthorized access of any other IBO information or documentation directly or indirectly resulting therefrom. IBO specifically waives any claim or defense that challenges the validity of any Documents or other documents accessed or executed through the Email Account or E-sign Portal based upon the absence of authority or compromise of the Email Account or E-sign Portal.

The security of IBO’s personally identifying information is important to S-L. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, S-L will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of IBO’s personally identifying information. However, the IBO understands and agrees that such steps do not guarantee that use of My Route is invulnerable to all security breaches, and that S-L makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation that use of My Route is protected from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.

D. TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS
Trademarks (including, but not limited to, the S-L Distribution Company, LLC logo) that are used or displayed on My Route are owned by S-L Distribution Company, LLC or its parent, affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively and individually, the “S-L Parties”), or by third parties other than S-L. IBO is not authorized at any time, to use in any manner, in whole or in part, the trademarks, service marks, tradenames, registered trademarks, product and service names, company names or logos (collectively and individually, the “Marks”) of the S-L Parties. Other Marks that appear on My Route are the property of their respective owners. IBO should look solely to such respective owner concerning the use of any of its Marks.

The Release shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with no consideration to any conflict of laws principle. IBO agrees that any legal action or proceeding between S-L and IBO for any purpose concerning this Release or the parties’ obligations hereunder shall be brought exclusively in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
