For purposes of this section, the "Heartland Financial Group-Related Parties" means: (1) Heartland Financial Group; (2) Heartland Financial Group's employees, officers, and directors; (3) Heartland Financial Group's affiliates (that is, parties that own Heartland Financial Group, are owned by Heartland Financial Group, or are under common ownership with Heartland Financial Group); (4) Heartland Financial Group's agents, licensors, independent contractors, and subcontractors; and (5) third party service providers that the Heartland Financial Group-Related Parties use.

The Site and services therein are provided to you AS-IS. The Heartland Financial Group-Related Parties therefore make no warranties of any kind for the Site or services. This includes both express warranties and implied warranties. Implied warranties include implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. A warranty is a guarantee that the Site or services will meet certain standards. No license to you is implied by these disclaimers.

The Heartland Financial Group-Related Parties do not warrant that the Site or services will be uninterrupted or error free, or that defects will be corrected. They also do not warrant that the Site is free of viruses or other harmful components. They also do not warrant the timeliness, accuracy, reliability or completeness of the Site or services. Any dated information is published as of that date only, and Heartland Financial Group Related Parties do not undertake any obligation or responsibility to update or amend any such information.

Without limitation, the Heartland Financial Group-Related Parties will not be liable to you for any loss, claim, injury, or damage in connection with: (1) these Terms of Use; (2) your use of the Site or inability to use the Site; (3) any problems with the communications between you and us; (4) any unauthorized interception of the communications between you and us; (5) any computer virus; or (6) the actions or inactions of any third parties.

In no event will any of the Heartland Financial Group-Related parties be liable to you for any: (1) incidental damages; (2) consequential damages; (3) special damages; (4) indirect damages; or (5) punitive damages. This limitation of liability applies, whether you base an action against the Heartland Financial Group-Related Parties on: (a) a contract; (b) a warranty; (c) a tort (such as claim of negligence, recklessness, or intentional act); or (d) any other theory. This limitation of liability applies even if any of the Heartland Financial Group-Related Parties know about the possibility of such damages. Therefore, by way of example, the Heartland Financial GroupRelated Parties will not be liable to you for lost data, lost profits or goodwill, investment losses, finance charges, lost opportunities, cost of obtaining substitute services, or other economic damages.

The laws of some states or countries may prohibit the limitation of liability for consequential damages, or incidental damages, or other kinds of damages. In those states or countries, to the extent their laws apply, the limitation of liability with respect to consequential damages, or incidental damages (or other damages specified by law in such states), may not apply.
