The gist
|
||||||
|
--------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We (the folks at [%%site.broughtby%%](%%site.broughtbyurl%%)) run a
|
||||||
|
service called %%site.name%% and would love for you to use it. Our
|
||||||
|
service is designed to give you as much control and ownership over
|
||||||
|
what goes in your notice stream as possible and encourage you to
|
||||||
|
express yourself freely. However, be responsible in what you post. In
|
||||||
|
particular, make sure that none of the prohibited items listed below
|
||||||
|
appear in your notice stream or get linked to from your notice stream (things
|
||||||
|
like spam, viruses, or hate content).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can review our [Public Stream](%%action.public%%) to get a sense
|
||||||
|
of the types of notices that are welcome on our service (or not!). If
|
||||||
|
you find a %%site.name%% account that you believe violates our terms
|
||||||
|
of service, please check our [Contact](%%doc.contact%%) documentation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(Note: Automattic, Inc., original creators of the below Terms of
|
||||||
|
Service, decided to make them available under a Creative Commons
|
||||||
|
Sharealike license, which means you’re more than welcome to steal it
|
||||||
|
and repurpose it for your own use. Just make sure to replace
|
||||||
|
references to us with ones to you. They’d appreciate a link to
|
||||||
|
[WordPress.com](http://www.wordpress.com/) somewhere on your site.
|
||||||
|
They spent a lot of money and time on the below, and other people
|
||||||
|
shouldn’t need to do the same. (We didn't!))

Terms of Service
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following terms and conditions govern all use of the %%site.name%%
|
||||||
|
website and all content, services and products available at or through
|
||||||
|
the website (taken together, the Website). The Website is owned and
|
||||||
|
operated by %%site.broughtby%% (“Operator”). The Website is offered
|
||||||
|
subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms
|
||||||
|
and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules,
|
||||||
|
policies (including, without limitation, Operator’s [Privacy
|
||||||
|
Policy](%%doc.privacy%%))
|
||||||
|
and procedures that may be published from time to time on this Site by
|
||||||
|
Operator (collectively, the “Agreement”).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the
|
||||||
|
Website. By accessing or using any part of the web site, you agree to
|
||||||
|
become bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do
|
||||||
|
not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you
|
||||||
|
may not access the Website or use any services. If these terms and
|
||||||
|
conditions are considered an offer by Operator, acceptance is
|
||||||
|
expressly limited to these terms. The Website is available only to
|
||||||
|
individuals who are at least 13 years old.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Your %%site.name%% Account and Site.</strong> If you
|
||||||
|
create a notice stream on the Website, you are responsible for
|
||||||
|
maintaining the security of your account and notice stream, and you
|
||||||
|
are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account
|
||||||
|
and any other actions taken in connection with the notice stream. You
|
||||||
|
must not describe or assign keywords to your notice stream in a
|
||||||
|
misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade
|
||||||
|
on the name or reputation of others, and Operator may change or remove
|
||||||
|
any description or keyword that it considers inappropriate or
|
||||||
|
unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause Operator liability. You must
|
||||||
|
immediately notify Operator of any unauthorized uses of your notice
|
||||||
|
stream, your account or any other breaches of security. Operator will
|
||||||
|
not be liable for any acts or omissions by You, including any damages
|
||||||
|
of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Responsibility of Contributors.</strong> If you operate a
|
||||||
|
notice stream, comment on a notice stream, post material to the
|
||||||
|
Website, post links on the Website, or otherwise make (or allow any
|
||||||
|
third party to make) material available by means of the Website (any
|
||||||
|
such material, “Content”), You are entirely responsible for the
|
||||||
|
content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the
|
||||||
|
case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text,
|
||||||
|
graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content
|
||||||
|
available, you represent and warrant that:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe
|
||||||
|
the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright,
|
||||||
|
patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party;</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>if your employer has rights to intellectual property you create,
|
||||||
|
you have either (i) received permission from your employer to post or
|
||||||
|
make available the Content, including but not limited to any software,
|
||||||
|
or (ii) secured from your employer a waiver as to all rights in or to
|
||||||
|
the Content;</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>you have fully complied with any third-party licenses
|
||||||
|
relating to the Content, and have done all things necessary to
|
||||||
|
successfully pass through to end users any required terms;</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>the Content does not contain or install any viruses, worms, malware,
|
||||||
|
Trojan horses or other harmful or destructive content;</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>the Content is not spam, and does not contain unethical or
|
||||||
|
unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party
|
||||||
|
sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to
|
||||||
|
further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to
|
||||||
|
the source of the material (such as spoofing);</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>if the Content is machine- or randomly-generated, it is for
|
||||||
|
purposes of direct entertainment, information and/or utility for you
|
||||||
|
or other users, and not for spam,</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>the Content is not libelous or defamatory (more info on
|
||||||
|
what that means), does not contain threats or incite violence towards
|
||||||
|
individuals or entities, and does not violate the privacy or publicity
|
||||||
|
rights of any third party;</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>your notice stream is not getting advertised via unwanted electronic
|
||||||
|
messages such as spam links on newsgroups, email lists, other notice streams
|
||||||
|
and web sites, and similar unsolicited promotional methods;</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>your notice stream is not named in a manner that misleads your
|
||||||
|
readers into thinking that you are another person or company. For
|
||||||
|
example, your notice stream’s URL or name is not the name of a person other
|
||||||
|
than yourself or company other than your own; and</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>you have, in the case of Content that includes computer code,
|
||||||
|
accurately categorized and/or described the type, nature, uses and
|
||||||
|
effects of the materials, whether requested to do so by Operator or
|
||||||
|
otherwise.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>By submitting Content to Operator for inclusion on your Website, you
|
||||||
|
grant Operator a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license
|
||||||
|
to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the
|
||||||
|
purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your notice
|
||||||
|
stream.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>By submitting Content to Operator for inclusion on your Website,
|
||||||
|
you grant all readers the right to use, re-use, modify and/or
|
||||||
|
re-distribute the Content under the terms of the <a
|
||||||
|
href="%%license.url%%">%%license.title%%</a>.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you delete Content, Operator will use reasonable efforts to remove it from
|
||||||
|
the Website, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the
|
||||||
|
Content may not be made immediately unavailable.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, Operator
|
||||||
|
has the right (though not the obligation) to, in Operator’s sole
|
||||||
|
discretion (i) refuse or remove any content that, in Operator’s
|
||||||
|
reasonable opinion, violates any Operator policy or is in any way
|
||||||
|
harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use
|
||||||
|
of the Website to any individual or entity for any reason, in
|
||||||
|
Operator’s sole discretion.</p>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Responsibility of Website Visitors.</strong> Operator has not reviewed,
|
||||||
|
and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software,
|
||||||
|
posted to the Website, and cannot therefore be responsible for that
|
||||||
|
material’s content, use or effects. By operating the Website,
|
||||||
|
Operator does not represent or imply that it endorses the material
|
||||||
|
there posted, or that it believes such material to be accurate, useful
|
||||||
|
or non-harmful. You are responsible for taking precautions as
|
||||||
|
necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses,
|
||||||
|
worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. The
|
||||||
|
Website may contain content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise
|
||||||
|
objectionable, as well as content containing technical inaccuracies,
|
||||||
|
typographical mistakes, and other errors. The Website may also contain
|
||||||
|
material that violates the privacy or publicity rights, or infringes
|
||||||
|
the intellectual property and other proprietary rights, of third
|
||||||
|
parties, or the downloading, copying or use of which is subject to
|
||||||
|
additional terms and conditions, stated or unstated. Operator
|
||||||
|
disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from the use by
|
||||||
|
visitors of the Website, or from any downloading by those visitors of
|
||||||
|
content there posted.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Content Posted on Other Websites.</strong> We have not reviewed, and
|
||||||
|
cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, made
|
||||||
|
available through the websites and webpages to which %%site.name%%
|
||||||
|
links, and that link to %%site.name%%. Operator does not have any
|
||||||
|
control over those external websites and webpages, and is not
|
||||||
|
responsible for their contents or their use. By linking to a
|
||||||
|
external website or webpage, Operator does not represent or
|
||||||
|
imply that it endorses such website or webpage. You are responsible
|
||||||
|
for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your
|
||||||
|
computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful
|
||||||
|
or destructive content. Operator disclaims any responsibility for
|
||||||
|
any harm resulting from your use of external websites and
|
||||||
|
webpages.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy.</strong> As Operator asks
|
||||||
|
others to respect its intellectual property rights, it respects the
|
||||||
|
intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material
|
||||||
|
located on or linked to by %%site.name%% violates your copyright, you
|
||||||
|
are encouraged to notify Operator in accordance with Operator’s
|
||||||
|
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”) Policy. Operator will
|
||||||
|
respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by
|
||||||
|
removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the
|
||||||
|
infringing material. In the case of a visitor who may infringe or
|
||||||
|
repeatedly infringes the copyrights or other intellectual property
|
||||||
|
rights of Operator or others, Operator may, in its discretion,
|
||||||
|
terminate or deny access to and use of the Website. In the case of
|
||||||
|
such termination, Operator will have no obligation to provide a
|
||||||
|
refund of any amounts previously paid to Operator.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Intellectual Property.</strong> This Agreement does not
|
||||||
|
transfer from Operator to you any Operator or third party intellectual
|
||||||
|
property, and all right, title and interest in and to such property
|
||||||
|
will remain (as between the parties) solely with Operator.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
service marks, graphics and logos used in connection with
|
||||||
|
%%site.name%%, or the Website are trademarks or registered trademarks
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
trademarks of other third parties. Your use of the Website grants you
|
||||||
|
no right or license to reproduce or otherwise use any Operator or
|
||||||
|
third-party trademarks.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Changes.</strong> Operator reserves the right, at its sole
|
||||||
|
discretion, to modify or replace any part of this Agreement. It is
|
||||||
|
your responsibility to check this Agreement periodically for changes.
|
||||||
|
Your continued use of or access to the Website following the posting
|
||||||
|
of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those
|
||||||
|
changes. Operator may also, in the future, offer new services and/or
|
||||||
|
features through the Website (including, the release of new tools and
|
||||||
|
resources). Such new features and/or services shall be subject to the
|
||||||
|
terms and conditions of this Agreement.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Termination.</strong> Operator may terminate your access
|
||||||
|
to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause,
|
||||||
|
with or without notice, effective immediately. If you wish to
|
||||||
|
terminate this Agreement or your %%site.name%% account (if you have
|
||||||
|
one), you may simply discontinue using the Website. All provisions of
|
||||||
|
this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall
|
||||||
|
survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership
|
||||||
|
provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of
|
||||||
|
liability.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Disclaimer of Warranties.</strong> The Website is provided
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, without

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
particular purpose and non-infringement. Neither Operator nor its
|
||||||
|
suppliers and licensors, makes any warranty that the Website will be
|
||||||
|
error free or that access thereto will be continuous or uninterrupted.

|
||||||
|
you download from, or otherwise obtain content or services through,
|
||||||
|
the Website at your own discretion and risk.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Limitation of Liability.</strong> In no event will
|
||||||
|
Operator, or its suppliers or licensors, be liable with respect to any
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
