Unum respects your privacy. Unum’s privacy policies, including our Internet Privacy Notice, can be found by clicking on the Privacy link located on the bottom of each website’s home page or login screen.

You acknowledge that your use of the websites, and downloading or use of any website content, features, software or applications constitutes acceptance of Unum’s privacy policies and the information collection and use practices contained in those policies.

You understand that the confidentiality and security of any information, including personally identifiable information, transmitted by you over the internet cannot be guaranteed. You acknowledge that when you access the websites we collect information about your visit and your use of the website.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any proprietary or confidential information of another party which you access through any Unum website.

By submitting an email address in connection with your rating or review, you agree that Unum and its third-party service providers may use your email address to contact you about our rating or review and for other administrative purposes.

Forward-looking statements

Our websites may contain statements, estimates or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are those not based on historical information, but rather relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. For a discussion of assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, see our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements on the websites speak only as of the date made and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or otherwise revise these statements, whether through the websites or otherwise.

Compliance with export laws and regulations

United States export control laws regulate the export and re-export of technology originating in the United States. This includes the electronic transmission of information and software to foreign countries and to certain foreign nationals. You agree to abide by these laws and their regulations, including, but not limited to, the Export Administration Act and the Arms Export Control Act, and not to transfer, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any such technology derived from the websites to either a foreign national or a foreign destination in violation of such laws.

Governing law

The laws of the United States and the State of Tennessee will govern the content and use of the Unum websites and any dispute or claim arising therefrom, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law principles.

We control the websites from our offices within the United States. We make no representation that the content on the websites is appropriate, legal or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access the websites from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. By logging into, or entering the websites, you consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Tennessee. Claims against us must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arises or be barred, unless a longer period must be provided under applicable law.

In any action to enforce rights under this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.

Severability and waiver

If any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions which will be enforceable to the extent allowed by law and in a manner that most closely matches the intent of the original language. Any waiver by us of a provision of this agreement in one instance shall not preclude enforcement of it on future occasions.

Termination

We may terminate your rights to use the websites at any time for any violation of these terms and conditions and for any business purpose. All provisions of this agreement relating to confidentiality, proprietary rights, limitations of liability and warranties, non-disclosure, privacy and security, and export laws survive termination of your rights to use the websites.
