| The websites at IRONMAN.COM, IRONMANSTORE.COM, RUNROCKNROLL.COM, ACROSSTHEBAY10K.COM, and related websites, race-specific websites, sub-domains, and sub-sites thereof (each, the “site”) are made available by World Triathlon Corporation (“WTC”) subject to these Terms of Use (“Terms”). The Terms govern your access to and use of this site and its services and/or products. By accessing or using this site, or creating an account on it, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use or access the site. WTC reserves the right, at any time, to modify or update these Terms without notice, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or update. Although WTC may notify you of certain changes by email or otherwise, changes may also be made without notice. You agree to periodically review these Terms for changes.
|
Like many websites, this website has terms of use. If you want to access or use our site, you must agree to abide by ours. In other words, you are automatically entering into a legally binding contract by using or accessing the site. The terms of that contract are these Terms. You should also check these Terms periodically since they might change without notice.
|

By accessing or using the site, you represent and warrant that (a) all registration and other information you submit, if any, is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of any information you provide; (c) you will not submit any personal information if you are under 13 years of age without your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission; and (d) your access or use of the site does not violate any applicable law or regulation. WTC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your access to, and/or use of, the site or any portion thereof, at any time, with or without notice and for any reason.
|
If you give us any of your information, it has to be accurate. If you are under the age of 13, you need your parent’s or guardian’s permission. Don’t use our site for illegal purposes.
|

These Terms apply to, and govern your access or use of, the site and you accept them by accessing or using the site, or creating an account. Each time you access or use the site or create an account, you are confirming your acceptance of these Terms, as they exist on that date. If you have entered into any other agreement with WTC, such as a race entry agreement, a liability waiver, or a sponsorship agreement, the terms and conditions of those agreements will supersede and prevail over these Terms in the event of any inconsistency. By accepting these Terms, you are also agreeing to our Privacy Policy and our Intellectual Property Usage Terms.
|
These Terms apply to your access or use of the site. Each time you access or use the site, you are agreeing to the Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and Intellectual Property Usage Terms. If you register for a race, or do something else with us, you will have a separate agreement and these Terms won’t change anything about that. |

The site may, now or in the future, provide you with the opportunity to post photos, videos, audio, text, data, content, or information that will then be shared with others through the site, or otherwise by WTC. By submitting content or information of any type, you automatically grant WTC a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, perform, and display such content or information (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate into other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such photos, content, or information. WTC may sublicense all or part of its rights under this license or assign them to third parties. You also acknowledge that such submissions are non-confidential for all purposes.
|
If you post content, we can use it and show it to others, who may then also be allowed to use or post it. So be careful.
|
| Posts you make to the site may be public. You will not post or transmit any of the following materials: (1) anything that interferes with or disrupts the site or the operation of the site or any product or service made available by WTC; (2) statements or material that defames, harasses, abuses, stalks, threatens, or in any way infringes on the rights of others; (3) unauthorized copyrighted materials or any other material that infringes on the intellectual property rights, trade secrets, or privacy of another; (4) statements or material that violates other contractual or fiduciary rights, duties, or agreements; (5) statements or material that encourages criminal conduct or that would give rise to civil liability or otherwise violates any law or regulation in any jurisdiction; (6) statements or material that contains vulgar, obscene, profane, or otherwise objectionable language or images that typically would not be considered socially or professionally responsible or appropriate in person; (7) statements or material that impersonates any other person or entity, whether actual or fictitious, including employees and representatives of WTC, or its subsidiaries; (8) anything that violates the privacy or publicity rights of any other person; (9) statements or material that constitute junk mail, spam, or unauthorized advertising or promotional materials; or (10) files that contain malicious code, viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of another’s computer, network, or this site.
|
Please follow the Golden Rule. You can do this by acting responsibly and by being nice to other users. Also, don’t lie, post spam or viruses or things you don’t own or have a license to post.
|
| By posting material, you represent and warrant that: (1) you own the content posted by you on or through the site or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and (2) the posting of your content on or through the site does not defame anyone or violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person.
|
If you post, we can rely on you to make sure you have the right to post it, and that you will not post anything untrue about another person.
|
| WTC may delete any content for any reason, including content that, in WTC’s sole judgment, is offensive, illegal, or violates the rights or threatens the safety of any person. WTC does not monitor the site for inappropriate content. If WTC becomes aware of any such content, however, WTC may (but is not required to) remove it. You are solely responsible for the content that you post on or through the site.
|
We reserve the right to delete anything you post, especially if we think it’s offensive or violates these Terms. But we do not promise to monitor the site for inappropriate content.
|
| Links
This site may provide links or references to other websites. WTC has no control over or responsibility for content on third party sites or transactions that occur there. Links or references are provided for convenience only and WTC will not be liable for any damages or injury arising from those sites. By using a third-party site, you may be agreeing to their terms and conditions, which may differ significantly from these Terms. Make certain you understand the risks and any applicable policies of third-party websites before retrieving, using, relying upon, or purchasing anything, or before otherwise transacting, via the Internet.
|
If this site links to content on other websites, we’re not responsible for those sites—use them at your own risk. Besides, the Internet can be a dangerous place. You should always be careful.
|
| Linking, Crawling and Framing.
The site and any content or resource viewed through it is available for your personal, private, and non-commercial use only. This includes, but is not limited to, information about WTC events, race timings, finisher lists, etc. You may link only to the site’s home page, but not to any other page or portion of the site. You agree not to, and warrant and represent that you will not assist any third party in engaging in any activity or attempting in any way, to reproduce, in whole or in part, any content provided by the site through any method (including, without limitation, through crawling, copying, caching, or framing), unless such access is expressly permitted in a written agreement executed by WTC. You may not, for instance, incorporate the information, content, or other material in any database, compilation, archive, API or cache, and may not deep-link to the site for any purpose, and may not access the site manually or with any robot, spider, web crawler, extraction software, automated process or device to scrape, copy, or monitor any portion of the site. You agree not to use the site or any services made available through the site for commercial purposes and agree not to share or transfer your account login information (if any) with any third party. For avoidance of doubt, “commercial purposes” includes non-profit purposes.
|
If you are thinking about re-posting content from our site or using it to help or create some commercial venture, don’t do it.

|
We try to do a good job, but we’re not guaranteeing perfection. This is a free site and you access or use it at your own risk.
|
| Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL WTC BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF WTC HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES (WHETHER IN AN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE, INABILITY TO USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE INFORMATION, SERVICES, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS AVAILABLE FROM THIS SITE OR THE INTERNET GENERALLY.
|
|
| Because some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, WTC’s liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
|
That said, some places restrict how much we can limit our liability. If you live in one of those places, the above exclusions might not apply or might not apply fully.
|
| Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold WTC and its officers and employees harmless from each claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your access or use of the site, your violation of these Terms, your access or use of the site or your infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.
|
If we are sued because of something you did on our site or with our content, you have to pay our costs, including, our attorneys’ fees.
|
| Notice for Claims of Copyright Infringement
If you are a copyright owner or agent thereof and believe that content posted on the site by a WTC user infringes upon your copyright, please submit notice, pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) to WTC with the following information: (a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright; (b) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (c) the URL of the location on our site containing the material that you claim is infringing; (d) your address, telephone number, and email address; (e) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf. WTC can be reached by mail at: Attn: Legal Department, 3407 W. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Suite 100, Tampa, Florida 33607, or by email at Legal@ironman.com.
|
If you think the site contains your copyrighted work and you don’t want it on our site, here’s how you notify us.
|
| Dispute Resolution
If you believe that WTC has violated these Terms, its privacy policy or your rights, you agree to notify WTC in writing and provide us with no less than thirty (30) days to resolve any dispute before bringing formal legal action. If you feel your intellectual property, privacy, or safety is at risk, the foregoing will not serve to prevent you from seeking immediate injunctive or other relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. For all other disputes, and all claims for damages, you agree to provide a reasonable cure period of no less than thirty (30) days before bringing formal legal action. The foregoing is intended to be applicable only in jurisdictions where it is not forbidden by law. You agree that any cause of action that you may desire to bring arising out of or related to these Terms and/or the site must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arises; otherwise, such cause of action will be permanently barred. In any formal legal action interpreting these Terms, or alleging a breach of them, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other damages or relief awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction.
|
If you’re unhappy with us, you must give us a chance to resolve the issue before filing suit, unless there is a pressing need to protect your safety, intellectual property, or privacy. If there is, you can, of course, go to court immediately. In any event, if you have any issue with us, you must do something about it within one year. If one of us does sue the other, the loser has to pay the winner’s attorney’s fees. So let’s try to work things out.
|
| Governing Law
You agree that these Terms (and agreement to them) and your access or use of this site are governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws provision. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Hillsborough County, Florida, USA in all disputes (a) arising out of, relating to, or concerning this site and/or this agreement and/or these Terms, (b) in which this site and/or this agreement and/or these Terms is an issue or a material fact, or (c) in which this site and/or this agreement and/or these Terms is referenced in a paper filed in a court, tribunal, agency or other dispute resolution organization.

WTC has endeavored to comply with all legal requirements known to it in creating and maintaining this site, but makes no representation that materials on this site are appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Access or use of this site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction where all or any portion of this site may violate any legal requirements and you agree not to access this site in any such jurisdiction. You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws. Any use in contravention of this provision or any provision of this agreement is at your own risk and, if any part of this agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement will govern such use.

We’re very glad that you are using our site, but using it doesn’t make you an employee or partner of WTC.

The failure of WTC to insist upon or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.
