SearchReturn promises to maintain the privacy of your personal information. The full extent of our commitment can be found in our Privacy Policy. SearchReturn will not permit third parties to use the information you provide us in ways that exceed the scope of SearchReturn’s Privacy Policy.
SearchReturn may send you messages from time to time, including but not limited to system updates, order confirmations, announcements, requests for confirmation of information, and other similar messages (“Administrative Messages”), via email.

You will refrain from any conduct which is detrimental to the interests of SearchReturn, such as attempting to use your SearchReturn account for some purpose other than the purposes set forth herein.
It is your responsibility to use Squid in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations that may apply to you in your jurisdiction, and you may only use Squid to the extent that your participation is permitted by such laws, rules, and regulations.

If any disputes arise of of these Terms of Use, we will attempt to resolve them in a spirit of cooperation without formal proceedings. Any dispute which cannot be so resolved (other than a request for injunctive relief) shall be subject to arbitration upon written demand of either party.

The arbitration shall take place before an arbitrator chosen as follows: The parties shall each choose a representative, and the representatives shall choose an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall schedule an informal proceeding, hear the arguments, and decide the matter. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator in this manner, the matter shall be arbitrated by a single arbitrator in Chicago, Illinois, and under the rules of, the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to award punitive damages or any other form of relief not contemplated in this agreement; and regarding each issue submitted to arbitration, the decision shall be accompanied by a written explanation of the basis upon which it was arrived at.
These Terms of Use are governed by Illinois law, excluding its conflict of law principles.
