PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THE "AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES. BY CLICKING ON THE "OKAY, DONE!" BUTTON, YOU OR THE ENTITY OR COMPANY THAT YOU REPRESENT ARE CONSENTING TO BE BOUND BY AND ARE BECOMING A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND THE SERVICES OFFERED BY URL Code SHALL ALSO CONSTITUTE ASSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WILL HAVE NO RIGHT TO USE THE SITE OR THE SERVICES DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The Web pages available at http://urlcode.com and all linked pages ("Site"), are owned and operated by URL Code, Inc. ("URL Code"), and are accessed by you ("User") under the following terms and conditions.
URL Code reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify the Agreement or Services (as defined below) or Content (as defined below) at any time by posting a notice on the Site, or by sending User a notice via email or postal mail. User shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Use of the Services by User following such notification constitutes User's acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as modified.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, URL Code may offer to provide certain services and content, as described more fully on the Site, and which are selected by User through the process provided on the Site ("Services"). Services shall include, but not be limited to, any services URL Code performs for User, as well as the offering of any materials displayed or performed on the Site (including, but not limited to diagrams, text, graphics, news articles, photographs, images, illustrations, audio clips and video clips, also known as the "Content") on the Site. URL Code may change, suspend or discontinue the Services including any Content for any reason, at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or content. URL Code may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict User's access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability.
User certifies to URL Code that if User is an individual (i.e., not a corporation or institution) User is of legal age to form a binding contract. User also certifies that it is legally permitted to use the Services and access the Site, and takes full responsibility for the selection and use of the Services and access of the Site. Without limiting the foregoing, if User is under the age of 13, User is not allowed to use the Services. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Site is revoked in such jurisdictions.
The Site is protected by copyright as a collective work and/or compilation, pursuant to U.S. copyright laws, international conventions, and other copyright laws. User may not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as provided in this section of the Agreement), create derivative works based on, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit, any of the Content, software, materials, or Services in whole or in part. User shall abide by all copyright notices, information, and restrictions contained in any Content accessed through the Services.
URL Code does not claim ownership rights in any Content that User chooses to post to the Site or send using the Services. After posting Content to the Site or sending Content using the Services, User continues to retain all ownership or license rights in such Content.
As a condition of use, User promises not to use the Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this Agreement, or any other purpose not reasonably intended by URL Code.
By way of example, and not as a limitation, User agrees not to use the Services:
URL Code may remove any Content and terminate User's account at any time for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to such Content), or for no reason at all. To report Terms of Use abuse, please email: Send Abuse Report. User, not URL Code, remains solely responsible for all Content that User uploads, posts, e-mails, transmits, or otherwise disseminates using, or in connection with, the Services. User acknowledges that all Content that User accesses using the Services is at User's own risk and User will be solely responsible for any damage to any party resulting therefrom.
User is responsible for all of its activity in connection with the Services and accessing the Site. User may not post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted, any communication or solicitation designed or intended to obtain password, account, or private information from any URL Code user. User shall not use any part of the Site or Services to violate the security of any computer network, crack passwords or security encryption codes, transfer or store material that is deemed threatening or obscene, or engage in any kind of illegal activity. User will not run Maillist, Listserv, any form of auto-responder, or "spam" on the Site, or any processes that run or are activated while User is not logged in to the Site and/or Service.
User acknowledges that URL Code has no control over, and no duty to take any action regarding: which users gains access to the Site or use the Services; what Content User accesses via the Site or Services; what effects the Content may have on User; how User may interpret or use the Content; or what actions User may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content. User releases URL Code from all liability for User having acquired or not acquired Content through the Site or Services. The Site or Services may contain, or direct User to sites containing, information that some people may find offensive or inappropriate. URL Code makes no representations concerning any content contained in or accessed through the Site or Services, and URL Code will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality or decency of material contained in or accessed through the Site or Services. THE SERVICES, CONTENT, SITE AND ANY SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO USER.
For information regarding URL Code's treatment of personally identifiable information, please review URL Code's current privacy policy (link). If User believes that material or content residing on or accessible through the Site or Services infringes a copyright, please review URL Code's Copyright Dispute Policy (below).
As a condition to using the Services, User may be required to register with URL Code and enter an email address and password ("URL Code Username"). User shall provide URL Code with accurate, complete, and updated registration information. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, which may result in immediate termination of User's account. URL Code reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel a URL Code Username in its discretion. User shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of User's URL Code password.
User will indemnify and hold URL Code, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and employees, harmless, including costs and attorneys' fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of User's access to the Site, use of the Services, the violation of this Agreement by User, or the infringement by User, or any third party using User's account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.
IN NO EVENT SHALL URL Code BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE OR THE SERVICES (I) FOR ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE AGGREGATE FEES PAID BY USER FOR SUCH SERVICES; OR (II) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO USER.
Either party may terminate the Services at any time by notifying the other party by any means. URL Code may also terminate or suspend any and all Services and access to the Site immediately, without prior notice or liability, if User breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Upon termination of User's account, User's right to use the Services, access the Site and any Content will immediately cease. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification and limitations of liability.
The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. URL Code shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond URL Code's reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by User except with URL Code's prior written consent. URL Code may transfer, assign or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations without consent. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. Both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and User does not have any authority of any kind to bind URL Code in any respect whatsoever.
