Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: June 16, 2005

1. Acceptance of Terms
MyAdClicks LLC and its affiliates (collectively, "we" or "MyAdClicks") provide our Internet sites and the content, products and services offered on or through those sites (collectively, the “Services"), to you subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"). Your use of the Services in whole or in part constitutes your binding acceptance of these TOS. If you do not agree to these TOS, you should not use the Services.
Some Services may be subject to additional posted rules, policies and terms. When you use those Services, you and MyAdClicks shall be subject to those additional conditions, which are incorporated by reference into these TOS (and, consequently, form part of your agreement with us). Other Services may be governed by different usage terms. In the event of an inconsistency between these TOS and any additional posted conditions or separate usage terms, the provisions of the additional conditions and/or separate usage terms shall control.
Because we may modify all or any part of these TOS from time to time without notice to you, you should check back often so you are aware of your current rights and responsibilities. Your continued use of a given Service after changes to the TOS have been published on that Service constitutes your binding acceptance of the updated TOS. If at any time the TOS are no longer acceptable to you, you should immediately cease all use of the Services.

2. Description of Services
The Services include a combination of content that we create and that other third party content suppliers create. In addition, some Services provide you and other users with an opportunity to submit, post, display, transmit and/or exchange information, ideas, opinions, photographs, images, video, creative works or other information, messages, transmissions or material to us or others on or through that Service (collectively, the "Postings").

We adhere to high journalistic standards, and use every reasonable effort to provide informative and relevant content as part of the Services. However, in using the Services, you may be exposed to content that you find offensive, indecent, and objectionable or that is inaccurate and you bear all risks associated with using that content. You understand that the Services are provided by MyAdClicks, as further described in Section 15 of these TOS, and that MyAdClicks does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any content available on or through the Services. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any of this content, whether created by or submitted to MyAdClicks, including, but not limited to, product reviews, white papers, product descriptions, stock quotes, or Postings on any bulletin board, chat, news group, community, forum or other feedback section of the Services (collectively, the "Forums").
You understand that from time to time, you may communicate with, receive communications from, or otherwise participate in or use the services or obtain goods and services of or from, third parties (e.g., advertisers) as a result of your use of the Services. All such communication, interaction and participation is strictly and solely between you and such third party and MyAdClicks shall not be responsible or liable to you in any way in connection with these activities or transactions (including, but not limited to, any representations, warranties, covenants, contracts or other terms or conditions that may exist between you and the third party, or any goods or services you may purchase or obtain from any third party). In particular, the appearance or availability of links to third party sites on or through the Services does not constitute an endorsement by MyAdClicks with respect to the content, advertising, products, or other materials available on or from such sites. You further understand and agree that the Services may include certain communications from MyAdClicks (such as administrative messages and certain newsletters), and that these communications are considered part of the Service and you may not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Services shall be subject to the TOS.

Finally, you are responsible for obtaining access to the Services and that access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Services.
3. General Rules of Conduct

4. Postings
Although we reserve the right to edit Postings prior to their inclusion on the Services, as a general matter MyAdClicks does not screen or monitor such content. Therefore, you understand that you are solely responsible for all Postings and other materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, that are uploaded, posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available from your email address on our through the Services. You further agree that your Postings will not violate these TOS. Specifically, you represent and warrant that your Postings will not contain any material that:

•is false, inaccurate, or misleading;
•infringes any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy;

•take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; or
•interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Services, any activities conducted on or through the Services, or any networks through which you access the Services.

You further represent and warrant that:

•your Postings will be original and/or you will obtain all third-party permission necessary for the use of the Postings as set forth below;
•you are the sole and exclusive owner of all rights herein conveyed to MyAdClicks and its affiliates; and
•you have the full and restricted power to convey such rights to MyAdClicks and its affiliates free and clear of the claims of any other person or entity.

In sum, Postings do not reflect the views of MyAdClicks and MyAdClicks does not verify, endorse, of vouch for any such content. We do, however, enforce these TOS, and if we determine in our sole discretion that any Posting is inaccurate, was posted without authorization, or otherwise does or may violate these TOS, we reserve the right, at any time, without prior notice and without limiting any and all other rights we may have, at law or in equity, to (a) modify, refuse or remove the Posting; (b) revoke the applicable users right to use the Services; and/or (d) use any technological, legal, operational or other means available to MyAdClicks to enforce the provisions of these TOS, including, without limitation, blocking specific IP addresses or deactivating the applicable users registration.

Finally, you specifically grant to MyAdClicks and its affiliates and service providers (or warrant that the owner of such content grants to MyAdClicks and its affiliates and service providers) a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and license, sublicensable through multiple tiers, to:

•use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display all Postings submitted by you or through your account, in whole or in part;

•incorporate the Postings and the Image in other works in any form, media or technology now known or later developed throughout the universe, and reproduce, publish, display and otherwise distribute the same.
For sake of clarity, by virtue of the above grant, you also give MyAdClicks and its affiliates permission to copy your Postings and the Image as part of the normal backup process and/or to archive discussions containing your Postings and/or the Image.

In particular, you may not frame any Material without the express prior written consent of MyAdClicks or the Material owner.

You must not alter, delete or conceal any copyright or other notices contained on the Services, including notices on any Material you download, transmit, print or reproduce from the Services.

You further agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interface that is provided by MyAdClicks for use in accessing the Service.

6. Forums
Some of our Services give users the opportunity to participate in Forums operated by MyAdClicks or by a third party. We ask that our users exercise appropriate caution when participating in any type of Forum. In particular, please remember that if you publicly disclose personal identifying information, such as your name or email address, in connection with a Forum, the information may be collected and used by others. You should also take reasonable precautions with regard to any material you download from or through Forums (for example, scanning for viruses or other damaging computer programming routines). Finally, you agree to use the Forums only to send and receive messages and material that are proper and related to that particular Forum.

7. Directories and Other Membership Listings
Some of our Services allow users to make some of their personal information (including, but not limited to, name, company affiliation and job title) available to other visitors as part of a membership directory or other listing for that Service. Please remember: If you do not want certain information to be available to other Service users, you should not include it in any membership directory listing.

11. Passwords and Other Security Issues
If we issue you a password, you agree to help protect your information by guarding that password, and by changing it as soon as possible if you believe its security has been compromised.
