If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
This Agreement constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between The Food Corridor and you regarding the Platform, Content, and any Postings, bookings or Licenses made through the Platform, and supersedes any prior agreements between you and The Food Corridor with respect to the same.

The Food Corridor is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email or physical address you provide us.
If you feel that any User engaged in inappropriate behavior or acted illegally, you should immediately report such person to law enforcement authorities. In addition, please also notify The Food Corridor by emailing us with your police station and report number at [email protected]. Your report to us will not obligate us to take any action beyond that required by law (if any) or cause us to incur any liability to you.
You agree that: (i) the Platform will be deemed to be solely based in the State of Colorado and the United States of America; and (ii) the Platform will be deemed to be a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over The Food Corridor in jurisdictions other than the State of Colorado. This Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado and the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Denver County, Denver, Colorado or a United States District Court, located in Denver, Colorado for any actions for which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s intellectual property rights, as set forth below. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
If any dispute arises between you and The Food Corridor, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally prior to filing any cause of action against The Food Corridor. If you and The Food Corridor are unable to resolve the dispute informally, you agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Platform (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado (unless that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction to hear the dispute, in which case we will resolve our dispute exclusively in state court in Denver, Colorado), and each of us irrevocably submits to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of these courts to hear any such dispute. The prevailing party in any such dispute will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs Parties hereby mutually agree to waive jury trial for any dispute relating to this Agreement. The law applying to contracts made and fully performed in Colorado will govern this Agreement, without giving effect to conflict of law principles.
The failure of The Food Corridor to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of such right or provision. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under this Agreement will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Platform or this Agreement, must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this Agreement and any notice provided in electronic form hereunder, will be admissible in administrative or judicial proceedings to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents or records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Whenever this Agreement provides that The Food Corridor has a certain right, that right is absolute and you intend that The Food Corridor’s exercise of that right will not be subject to any limitation or review.
If you have any questions on this Agreement, please contact The Food Corridor at [email protected].
