Chat Rooms, Fan Groups and Bulletin Boards

If any chat rooms, forums, groups or bulletin boards are provided within a Service, they are provided by PetPivot as a convenience to its users. You should however, understand the risks involved with using this type of site. Users may post reviews, comments, photos, videos, and other content; and other communications; and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information, so long as the content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights (including publicity rights), or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable, and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of "spam" or unsolicited commercial electronic messages. You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of a card or other content. PetPivot reserves the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit such content, but does not regularly review posted content. If you do post content or submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant PetPivot a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, perform, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media. You grant PetPivot and sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you post; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify PetPivot for all claims resulting from content you supply. PetPivot has the right but not the obligation to monitor and edit or remove any activity or content. PetPivot takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content posted by you or any third party. Information submitted to the chat rooms, forums, or bulletin boards may be routed through PetPivot’s servers or servers of third parties, and may be viewed by the general public. Therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy for the information you post. This information may be collected and used by third parties. It is not secure or private. PetPivot may decide at any time to monitor the information and postings. PetPivot reserves the right at its discretion to screen, refuse to post, remove or edit any and all information or postings from the chat rooms, forums and bulletin boards, or to bar access of any individual to the Site, or its chat rooms, forums, or bulletin boards. If participating in chat rooms, forums and bulletin boards, you agree not to market or sell any products or services or solicit others to do so, or use the chat room, forum, or bulletin board for any commercial purpose. You will not misrepresent your identity or affiliation. You also will not violate the Terms of the Services.

 

Limitation of Liability

Your use and browsing of the Services is at your sole risk. If you are dissatisfied with the Services or any of the materials within the Services, or with any of the Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue accessing and using the Services. Neither PetPivot, its suppliers or licensors, nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the PetPivot Service will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute services arising out of or in connection with these terms or from the use of or inability to use the PetPivot Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not PetPivot has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

 

In no event will PetPivot’s total liability arising out of or in connection with these terms or from the use of or inability to use the PetPivot Service exceed the amounts you have paid to PetPivot for use of the PetPivot Service or fifty dollars ($50), if you have not had any payment obligations to PetPivot, as applicable.

 

The exclusions and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between PetPivot and you.

 

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PetPivot and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.

 

Disclaimers

PetPivot Services and PetPivot content are provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind. Without limiting the foregoing, we explicitly disclaim any warranties of merchantability, quiet enjoyment or non- infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. We make no warranty that the Service or PetPivot Content will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. We make no warranty regarding the quality, accuracy, timeliness, truthfulness, completeness or reliability of the Service or any PetPivot Content. You acknowledge and agree that if you rely on any PetPivot Content or the PetPivot Service, you do so solely at your own risk.

 

General Terms

Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between PetPivot and you regarding the PetPivot Service, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between PetPivot and you regarding the PetPivot Service and PetPivot Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

 

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without PetPivot’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. PetPivot may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

 

Any notices or other communications provided by PetPivot under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the PetPivot Service. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt on the message will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

 

PetPivot’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of PetPivot. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

 

Additional Terms May Apply

Additional terms may apply to certain products or services. In the event that there is a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms, the additional terms will control.
