PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE.
These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and, if applicable, the company or other legal entity you represent (collectively, “you” or “your”) and Candela Corporation or any of its affiliates, divisions, or subsidiaries ("Candela,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms govern your use of the various websites operated and administered by Candela that provide content or process information received through the applicable website, including all subdomains and associated applications (collectively, the “Sites”). For clarity, when we refer to you or your, we mean the person accessing the Site. If the person accessing a Site does so on behalf of, or for the purposes of, another person, including a business or other organization, "you" or "your" also means that other person, including a business organization.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY DESCRIBED IN THE “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY” SECTION BELOW, AND A DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE IN THE “GOVERNING LAW, DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AND VENUE” SECTION BELOW THAT REQUIRES ARBITRATION OF MOST DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, INCLUDES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
By accessing and/or using a Site, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as they may be amended from time to time, as well as by our Privacy Notice. If you do not agree to these Terms or our Privacy Notice, you are not permitted to use the Site.
1. General.
1.1 Modifications. You should review these Terms regularly, as we reserve the right to change (in whole or in part) these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. Modifications will be posted on the Site and will be effective thirty (30) days after we post notice of the modifications, unless the modifications are required to comply with applicable statutes, regulations, rules, orders, or other laws, in which case they will be effective as of the date of posting. Any modifications will be effective immediately for new users of the Sites. The “last revised” date at the top of this page will be updated to reflect the posting date of the current Terms. If we make material changes to the Terms, we will endeavor to also provide notice to you through other means available to us, such as by sending you an email if you have provided us your email address and opted in to receiving email from us. Your continued use of a Site following the posting and effective date of the changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with any updated version of these Terms, you must immediately stop accessing and using the Sites. Separately, we may discontinue, suspend, change, or restrict your access to or use of the Sites, in whole or in part, at any time for any reason without notice or liability to you.
1.2 Acceptance of the Terms. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Candela, and (b) if you are using any Site on behalf of a person, company, or other entity, you have full legal authority to accept these Terms on behalf of that person, company, or entity.

Nothing contained in these Terms is intended to modify or amend any agreement currently in effect between you and us. Although these Terms are intended to apply generally to all Content located on the Site or Sites, the Sites may contain other proprietary notices and conditions of use specific to particular areas or features of the Sites, the terms of which must also be observed and followed, and which shall prevail over these Terms and the Privacy Notice only to the extent it is not possible to construe these Terms or the Privacy Notice consistently with such other terms and conditions. Certain portions of the Sites are intended for audiences in specific countries as indicated by specific country references in the website page header information (for instance, "Candela® United States," "Candela® Asia," or "Candela® Europe").

12.1 For the purposes of any applicable law regarding notification of persons whose personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person, our information security policy provides that any required notification may, where permitted by law, be made by the use of e-mail, telephone, fax, mail (including a notice printed in an available area of a bill or statement), or posting a notice on any Site. The specific means used is up to us, and we will use our judgment based on the circumstances. Where any notice is to be sent to a specific address or number (such as an e-mail address, physical address, telephone number, etc.), we will use the latest available address in our records.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH A CLAIM IS BASED (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY EXCLUSIVE OR LIMITED REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You may not settle or otherwise compromise any such claim without our prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine applicable in that jurisdiction.
15. Links to Third Party Websites.
15.1 We may provide links to other websites maintained by us and our affiliated entities as well as links to unaffiliated third parties' websites for your convenience and should not be deemed to imply that we endorse those sites or any content therein.

You represent and warrant that you own, or otherwise possess sufficient rights in, all such information; you grant to us a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, prepare derivative works from, transmit, and distribute such information as we see fit; and you agree that we are free to use any ideas, concepts, or know-how contained in such information.

17. International Users.
17.1 The Sites were created by and are controlled, operated and administered by Candela Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its agents from offices within the United States of America utilizing servers located in the United States of America. We make no representation that Content at the Sites is appropriate or available for transmission to or from, or use in, locations outside of the jurisdiction(s) stated above. Accessing any Site from any jurisdiction where such Site's Content is illegal is prohibited. You may not use any Site or export the Content in violation of import or export laws and regulations. If you access a Site from a location outside of the United States, you are responsible for compliance with all local statutes, regulations, rules, orders, and other laws.
18. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, and Venue.
18.1 Dispute Resolution. The laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal laws of the United States (without regard for choice of law rules) govern these Terms, the Privacy Notice and performance under them. If any controversy, claim, or other dispute between you and Candela arises out of your use of the Sites or these Terms, including any breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms (and including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate), either party may give notice to the other, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute, and the parties shall thereafter use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute through in-person or videoconference negotiations. Your notice must be specific to you and must be sent to: Candela Corporation, Attn: Legal Department, 251 Locke Drive, Marlborough, Massachusetts, 01752, USA. We may send our notice to you to any available address or email address we may have on file for you. If such negotiations have not resolved the dispute within thirty (30) days of initial notice thereof, the dispute shall be resolved by final and binding confidential arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) in accordance with its then-current Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Jams Rules,” available at www.jamsadr.com) or, if the claims qualify, in small claims court. If you are an individual, JAMS’ Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (the “Minimum Standards”) shall apply. The arbitration will be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts, except as otherwise required by the Minimum Standards, if they apply, by a single neutral arbitrator.
18.2 In arbitration there is no judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award may be limited; however, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court. We each agree that any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or connected with these Terms or the Sites shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class, consolidated, or representative action; however the parties may agree to settle claims on a class-wide basis if they mutually agree to do so. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion and arbitration requirements, either you or Candela may bring suit in court (as provided below) to enjoin infringement or other misuse of confidential information or intellectual property rights at any time.
18.3 If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, any suit or other action or dispute arising out of, or in any way connected with, these Terms or your use of any of the Sites may be brought only in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts with respect to such matters. You further waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder; and further agree not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or improper venue, including forum non conveniens, and agree that process may be served in a manner authorized by applicable law or court rule. YOU HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. YOU AGREE THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT CANDELA WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT IF THIS SECTION WERE NOT PART OF THESE TERMS.
19. Limitation of Actions.
19.1 You must commence any suit or other action in connection with your use of any of the Sites within one year after events giving rise to the claim or cause of action occur.
20. Severability.
20.1 If, for any reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms or the Privacy Notice, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of these Terms and the Privacy Notice, and the remainder of these Terms and the Privacy Notice shall continue in full force and effect.
21. Remedies.
21.1 We reserve the right to seek all remedies available at law and in equity for violations of the Terms, including the right to block access from a particular Internet address to the Sites.
22. Miscellaneous.
22.1 Relationship of the Parties. These Terms do not, and shall not be construed to create any relationship, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship between the parties hereto.
22.2 California Disclosures. If you are a California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Consumer Information Center of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
22.3 Assignment by Candela. Candela may assign its rights and obligations hereunder and/or transfer ownership rights and title in the Sites to a third party without your consent or prior notice to you.
22.4 Assignment by You. Your rights and obligations under the Terms are not assignable. Any attempted or actual assignment thereof by you will be null and void without Candela's prior explicit and written consent.
22.5 Waiver. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Any heading, caption or section title contained herein is inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way defines or explains any section or provision hereof.
22.6 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire terms and conditions between you and Candela relating to the subject matter herein and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, promises, conditions, negotiations, covenants or representations, whether written or oral, between us, including, without limitation, those made by or between any of our respective representatives, with respect to the Candela products and the Sites. You agree that no parole evidence shall be admitted in any judicial proceeding to establish any terms inconsistent with these Terms. You agree that you will make no claim at any time or place that these Terms have been orally altered or modified or otherwise changed by oral communication of any kind or character. You further agree that you are not relying upon any promise, inducement, representation, statement, disclosure or duty of disclosure of Candela in entering into these Terms.
