Not Responsible for Offensive User Content

The Q is not responsible for screening or monitoring User Content or submissions posted by User(s).  The Q takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any third party submits or publishes on the Service. If The Q is notified or otherwise becomes aware of any User Content, which allegedly does not conform to these Terms or is abusive, illegal, or disruptive, The Q may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and in its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the User Content (“Offensive Content”), suspend any such User’s use of or access to the Service, or disable or discontinue communications with Service via which the particular User submitted the Offensive Content.  The Q reserves the right to expel Users to prevent their further access to the Service or disable or discontinue communications with the Service for violating these Terms or any applicable laws.  The Q further reserves the right to remove, erase or overwrite Offensive Content or any information in connection therewith. The Q may take any action at any time with respect to User Content that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if it believes it may create liability for The Q, harm any other User or may cause The Q to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”), Application Service Providers (“ASPs”), or other suppliers.

 

Reservation of Rights

The Q shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to pre-screen, refuse, move, or delete any User Content that violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable.   The Q also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to re-post any User Content removed by any User or former User, suspend or terminate User’s right to use the Service at any time, or pursue any other remedy or relief available to The Q under equity or law, for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to such Content or if The Q is concerned that User may have breached the immediately preceding sentence), or for no reason at all.

 

Advertisements and Promotions

Some of the Service may be supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions, and you hereby agree that The Q may place such advertising and promotions on the Service or on, about, or in conjunction with the Content.  The manner, mode and extent of such advertising and promotions are subject to change without specific notice to you.

 

Release of Liability

Because authentication on the Internet is difficult, The Q cannot and does not confirm that each User is who such person claims to be or that their Registration Data is truthful, complete, or accurate.  The Q facilitates an exchange of information, which you authorize between/ among you and other Users. You access or use the Service and take any action concerning the transmission of your Registration Data or other User Content as your voluntary action for which you are exclusively responsible.  There is always a certain risk when transmitting such information over the Internet or some other public or proprietary network, and you assume such risk by submitting information to the Service and by making or authorizing transmission to others. If you are a California resident, you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”  The Q is under no legal obligation to, and generally does not, control the User Content provided by other Users or entities, which is made available through the Service. By its very nature, User Content posted or communicated by other Users may be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or incorrect, and in some cases may be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. You agree to use caution and common sense when using or accessing the Service.

All fee-based Service and virtual goods are provided “AS IS” with no warranties of any kind. The Q may modify and/or eliminate such fee-based Service at its discretion. User understands and agrees that the payment for virtual goods grants User a limited license to use the virtual goods as specified on the Service.

 

In addition to any other rights granted to The Q herein, The Q reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and User’s access to the Service if User’s account becomes delinquent. User will be obligated to pay the balance due on account. User agrees that The Q may charge such unpaid fees and charges to User’s credit card. User agrees and acknowledges that The Q has no obligation to retain User Content and that such User Content may be irretrievably deleted if User’s account becomes delinquent. If User fails to comply with payment schedule, User will have 30 days to cure payment delinquency before The Q may exercise the right to suspend or terminate the User’s account.

 

The Q may change its prices at any time but will provide you reasonable notice of any such changes by posting the new prices on the Service and by sending you email notification. If you do not wish to pay the new prices, you may cancel the Service prior to the change going into effect.

 

Copyright Policy

The Q has adopted the following policy toward copyright infringement with respect to the Service in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Counter-Notice.  If you believe that your User Content was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to law, to post and use the material in your Content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Person:

• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Charleston, South Carolina, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
• Upon receipt of a counter-notice, The Q may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days.  Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the User Content provider, member or user, the removed User Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at The Q’s sole discretion.

We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce the Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of our Service, its Users or the public as required or permitted by law.

TARGETED ONLINE ADVERTISING

With third party service providers, we will track and analyze collective information from interaction with our Service. We also may partner with third parties (advertisers and ad networks) to display advertising within our Service and manage our advertising on other platforms. These third parties collect information about collective online activities, and use that collective data to target user segments. Users are only segmented in ways that cannot be employed to find an individual. Advertisements are tailored to a segment, not an individual user.
