Hello CTS posters. I am in the last steps of preparing the final ballots for the 2011 Clubbys. Considering the high profile notoriety of this iconic awards ceremony, I have taken the time to compose a brief set of rules and standards that I kindly request you follow. Please read the statement and sign whether you agree or disagree to the rules:

The Simply Voting online voting system ("VOTING SYSTEM") consists of all public and restricted websites and software found at www.simplyvoting.com. VOTING SYSTEM is owned and operated by Simply Voting.

This Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement") governs your use of VOTING SYSTEM. By using and/or accessing VOTING SYSTEM, you are agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree with any of the terms of this Agreement, you are prohibited from using and/or accessing VOTING SYSTEM.

Simply Voting may revise this Agreement at any time without notice, and such revisions will be effective upon being posted on www.simplyvoting.com. By using and/or accessing VOTING SYSTEM you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of this Agreement. It is important that you review this Agreement regularly to ensure that you are aware of any changes.

Simply Voting will not edit or disclose your private VOTING SYSTEM records or content, except that you agree that Simply Voting may do so in accordance with its then-current Privacy Policy or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary:
(a) to comply with any local laws, rules or regulations;
(b) to comply with any legal process;
(c) to enforce this Agreement;
(d) to respond to claims that such data violates the rights of third parties; and

You acknowledge and agree that Simply Voting is not responsible or liable for the content, usage, information and data collected from any forms created using VOTING SYSTEM.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

SIMPLY VOTING WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF VOTING SYSTEM. THIS INCLUDES ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES THAT MAY ARISE FROM THE USE OF VOTING SYSTEM, THE FAILURE OF VOTING SYSTEM, OR THE TERMINATION OF THE ACCESS TO VOTING SYSTEM. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL ALSO APPLY TO ANY LOSS OF DATA, INFORMATION OR CONTENT THROUGH FAILURE OF VOTING SYSTEM OR INTERRUPTION OF TRANSMISSION. SIMPLY VOTING WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY HARM OR LOSS ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO DATA, INFORMATION OR TRANSMISSION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO TANGIBLE OR INTANGIBLE LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, DATA OR INFORMATION.

YOU AGREE THAT SIMPLY VOTING IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE INTERRUPTION, CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION OF VOTING SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE FAILURE OF VOTING SYSTEM IS ANNOUNCED, JUSTIFIED, INTENTIONAL, UNINTENTIONAL, OR NEGLIGENT.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER

SIMPLY VOTING PROVIDES VOTING SYSTEM "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW. SIMPLY VOTING FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. SIMPLY VOTING DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN VOTING SYSTEM OR THAT VOTING SYSTEM OR ITS SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND REPRESENT THAT ALL DATA, INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIAL COLLECTED THROUGH VOTING SYSTEM IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY. SIMPLY VOTING IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA OR HARM DONE TO YOUR COMPUTER(s), SYSTEMS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH USE OF VOTING SYSTEM. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT USE OF VOTING SYSTEM IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DISCRETION.

SUB-DISCLAIMER

NFLPA, its parent and affiliated entities and their respective officers, directors, employees and members (collectively, the "Administrators") are not responsible for and shall not be liable for interrupted or unavailable networks or servers; miscommunications, failed computer hardware or software or other technical failures; garbled, lost, misrouted or scrambled transmissions; any error, omission, interruption, defect or delay in any transmission or communication; traffic congestion or for any technical problem which may cause the voting to be disrupted or corrupted. Administrators are not responsible for inaccurate transcription of voting information as a result of errors in any promotional or marketing materials.

If for any reason the voting is not capable of being executed as planned, or if there is an infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud or technical failures, or if any other causes beyond the control of Administrators corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of this voting, the Administrators reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to withdraw the transmission of any vote. Furthermore, the Administrators may permanently disqualify any person they believe has intentionally violated these rules, and to terminate or suspend voting at any point and declare the vote results based on the votes up to that point, if it appears that the voting process has been so distorted by hacking or other interference that the results would not reflect actual valid votes should the voting continue. In the event of technical difficulties with voting, Administrators reserve the right to review the votes for accuracy and to take any appropriate action, including, without limitation, voiding the votes cast during the time period in which such technical difficulties occurred. Administrators and their respective agents, officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates assume no responsibility for any injury or damage to participants or to any other person's computer relating to or resulting from entering or downloading materials or software in connection with the voting contemplated herein.
Caution: Any attempt by an entrant or any other individual to deliberately damage any online service or website, tamper with the voting process, or otherwise undermine the legitimate operation of the voting is a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, Administrators reserve the right to seek damages and/or other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Administrators are NOT responsible for any damages to voters' device(s) that may occur from voting, participation or use. Administrators reserve the right, for any reason and in their sole discretion, to modify, suspend or discontinue the voting service without prior notice.
