A person's use of PowerChap and any of its Services (as defined below) at any time is subject to PowerChap then-current Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated from time to time as set forth below. Each user can review the current TOS at any time.
In addition, each user's use of particular Services may be subject to specific
guidelines or rules ("Service-specific Rules") posted from time to time and
incorporated by this reference into the TOS. A user's use of PowerChap and/or its
Services constitutes full acceptance of and agreement to the TOS; if a user does not
accept our TOS, he or she is not granted rights to use PowerChap or any of its
Services, as defined herein, and should refrain from accessing PowerChap and its
Services.
To update the TOS or any Service-specific Rules, we will both post the changed
version and its effective date here. Concurrently with any change to the core TOS, we
will email notice of the change to known users at least 15 days (or such shorter or
longer time as mandated by law or any judicial or government body) in advance. If
we change any Service-specific Rules, we will post the changed version on the
location where those Service-specific Rules normally appear, reference the change
on the primary page for that Service and include a link to the previous version of the
rules.
PowerChap reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or
discontinue, temporarily or permanently, PowerChap or any Service thereon (or any
part thereof) with notice to users and the public as described above, or immediately
in the event of technical difficulties. PowerChap shall not be liable to any user or
other third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance except as
expressly provided herein.
If required by the site in question, each user must provide true, accurate, current and
complete information on the Service's registration form (collectively, the
"Registration Data") and Maintain and promptly update the Registration Data as
necessary.
If, after investigation, we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any user's
information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we may suspend or
terminate that user's account and prohibit any and all current or future use of the
Services (or any portion thereof) by that user other than as expressly provided herein.
Each user will receive a password and account designation upon completing the
Service's registration process and is wholly responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality thereof and wholly liable for all activities occurring thereunder.
PowerChap cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from a user's
failure to comply with this Section, including any loss or damage arising from any
user's failure to
Immediately notify PowerChap of any unauthorized use of his or her password or
account or any other breach of security and Ensure that he or she exits from his or
her account at the end of each session.
PowerChap handles user Registration Data in accordance with the PowerChap
Privacy Policy.
All information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video,
messages or any other materials whatsoever (collectively, "Content"), whether
publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from
which such Content originated. This means that the user, and not PowerChap, is
entirely responsible for all Content that he or she uploads, posts, emails or otherwise
transmits via PowerChap or any Service. No user shall transmit Content or otherwise
conduct or participate in any activities on PowerChap and/or any Service which, in
the opinion of PowerChap counsel, are prohibited by law in applicable jurisdictions.
PowerChap will not pre-screen or review Content, but PowerChap reserves the right
to refuse or delete any Content of which it becomes aware which it reasonably
deems not to fulfill the Purpose. In addition, PowerChap shall have the right (but not
the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse or delete any content, which it
reasonably considers to violate the TOS or be otherwise illegal. PowerChap, in its sole
and absolute discretion, may preserve Content and may also disclose Content if
required to do so by law or judicial or governmental mandate or as reasonably
determined necessary by us to protect the rights, property or personal safety of
PowerChap, its users and the public. PowerChap does not control the Content
posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. Under no circumstances will PowerChap be liable in any way
for any Content, including, but not limited to, liability for any errors or omissions in
any Content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of
any Content posted, emailed or otherwise transmitted via PowerChap or any Service
thereon.
Each user, by using PowerChap or any Service, may be exposed to Content that is
offensive, indecent or objectionable. Each user must evaluate, and bear all risks
associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy,
completeness, or usefulness of such Content.
You also agree to not copy or distribute any of the stories, videos, interviews, or photographs contained within the service, in whole or part, without prior written consent from PowerChap.
