15. FORTIFY ALLIES TERMS OF USE

As a Fortify user using the Fortify ally feature, you acknowledge that you understand:

15.1 No substitute. Fortify allies are not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment and Fortify users will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment or therapy. Nothing contained in this Site or App is intended to be used as medical advice or to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The assistance of a Fortify ally is not a substitute for independent professional advice from a medical/health professional – nor does it replace professional advice by legal, financial, business, spiritual or other qualified professionals. Fortify users are encouraged to seek independent professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other matters. Fortify users should not stop a medication or treatment protocol or alter your treatment plan without first consulting their mental health, medical or healthcare provider(s). All decisions in these areas are exclusively that of the individual Fortify user and she/he acknowledges that her/his decisions and actions regarding personal mental or emotional wellness are her/his sole responsibility.

15.2 Fortify allies. Fortify allies receive general guidance to encourage patience, generosity and other basic behavioral qualities that contribute to safety and positive support. This guidance does not constitute “training” and Fortify does not take or presume responsibility for the actions (or lack of action) for allies that Fortify users recruit and access on the Fortify platform. Unlike Fortify Coaches or Fortify Group leaders, Fortify allies are thus independent relationships that Fortify users identify in their own community and networks as possible supports to their recovery. No supervision or approval is provided by Fortify that would warrant approval or authorization of a particular ally. Given all this, you agree to not hold Fortify responsible for advice an ally may or may not give.

15.3 Liability. Fortify users are fully responsible for themselves and their actions within and outside of the ally relationship. You are liable for any and all Claims resulting from or relating to any action by you. You further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fortify and its officers, directors and agents, from and against any and all damages, loss, cost, liability or expense (including attorney fees and costs) incurred by any such party in connection with any complaints, demands, claims, or legal actions alleging illness, injury, death, or damage caused by you except in the event the Claims are solely the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Fortify.

15.4 Ally updates. Fortify reserves the right to modify or change the rules of allies without prior notification to current or new users. Any substantial modifications or changes, of course, would be subsequently shared with current and new users.

15.5 By using Fortify allies, you agree with all the terms and conditions of this agreement.

16. INDEMNIFICATION

You hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless Fortify, and its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, partners, employees, licensors, representatives and third-party providers from and against all reasonably foreseeable losses, expenses, damages, costs, claims and demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees and related costs and expenses, due to or arising out of your actions or breach of any representation or warranty hereunder. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you under this Section 16 and in such case, you agree to fully cooperate as reasonably required with such defense and in asserting any available defenses.

NO OPINION, ADVICE OR STATEMENT OF FORTIFY OR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, ADVERTISERS, SPONSORS, AGENTS, MEMBERS OR VISITORS, WHETHER MADE THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES, OR ON THIRD PARTY PLATFORMS OR OTHERWISE, SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY.

18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

NEITHER FORTIFY NOR ANY OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, ADVERTISERS OR SPONSORS, NOR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOST PROFITS), UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SERVICES AND/OR MATERIALS, INCLUDING ANY MATERIALS AVAILABLE THROUGH ANY THIRD PARTY PLATFORM, SUBMISSIONS, ANY LINKED WEBSITES OR ANY CODE, PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED, ACCESSIBLE OR USABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES OR ANY THIRD PARTY PLATFORM.

BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NO COMMUNICATION OF ANY KIND BETWEEN YOU AND FORTIFY OR A REPRESENTATIVE OF FORTIFY CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF ANY LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY HEREUNDER OR CREATE ANY ADDITIONAL WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE TERMS. MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT INCREASE THE MONETARY DAMAGES LIMIT STATED HEREIN. YOU AGREE THAT THE DAMAGE EXCLUSIONS IN THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Additionally, a possibility exists that unauthorized alterations could be made by third parties to the Services available on any Third Party Platform.
