International Usage. The Website is controlled, operated, and administered entirely within the United States. If you visit, access, interact with, and/or otherwise use the Website from a location outside the United States, please be advised that any information you provide in connection with any such activity may be processed in and/or transferred to the United States and/or other territories and locations, where privacy protections may not be as comprehensive as those in the territory or location where you interact with or otherwise use the Website.

We do not discriminate against users for exercising privacy rights. 

Children’s Privacy 

Our Website is not designed to attract children, and it is not our intent to collect personal data from children under the age of consent in their country, state, or jurisdiction of residence, or under the age of 18, whichever is higher. We therefore request that children under the age of consent do not submit any personal data to us. We do not knowingly collect data from children without parental consent. If we discover such data, we will delete it.

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LCA, and its affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “LCA Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of, or access to, the Website (b) your violation of this Agreement; (c) your violation of any law or regulation or the rights of any third party; or (d) any content, information, or materials you submit, transmit, or otherwise make available through the LCA Website.

LCA may assume the exclusive control of the defense and settlement of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will cooperate as reasonably requested. You may not settle any indemnified matter without LCA’s prior written consent if the settlement imposes any liability or obligation on, or restricts any rights of, any LCA Party.
