We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Website.

By accessing the Website, creating an account, or using any of our services, you consent to CCA’s collection and use of your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You also consent to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

Your use of this website is at your sole risk. All content, information, materials, and services on or linked from the website are provided on an “as is” or “as available” basis. CCA expressly disclaims all warranties and conditions, whether implied, express, or statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. CCA makes no warranty that the website or its content is accurate, timely, uninterrupted, virus-free, or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CCA will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of or inability to use the website, including without limitation damages for loss of data, goodwill, or other intangibles, even if CCA has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

By using the Website, you agree that the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, will govern these Terms of Service and any dispute arising between you and CCA. Any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in Detroit, Michigan.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement — except for claims seeking temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive or equitable relief — shall be settled by binding arbitration in Detroit, Michigan, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or a similar arbitration body, and conducted by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Neither party may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration except as required by law.

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and CCA regarding your use of the Website and supersede any prior agreements relating to the same subject matter. CCA’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
