Terms and Conditions

WELCOME TO RIVERWIRED This document, along with the Privacy Policy, comprises the RiverWired user's Bill of Rights.

By accessing our website ("RiverWired" or the "Site") at www.riverwired.com, you (the "User") signify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms of Service" or "Agreement") and by the terms of the Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered Member of RiverWired.

This Agreement sets out the legally binding terms of your use of the Site and membership in the Service, and we reserve the right to modify, change, add or delete portions of these terms or the Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice. Such modifications are effective immediately upon posting on, and only on, this page. Your continued use of the Service or the Site after any amendment confirms your acceptance of the amendment and the new Terms and Conditions. It is your responsibility to check this page regularly to determine if any changes have been made to the Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy, and not to use or access the Service or Site without agreeing to abide by its current terms.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE RiverWired is a social networking site that encourages a community of sharing and discovery. We provide registered account holders ("Members") with a platform and resources (collectively, the "Service") that allow them access to reliable information and a community of like-minded people.

As a Member of the RiverWired community, you have a responsibility to the community as a whole. We expect that you will use the Service for its intended purpose, act responsibly and respect the rights of other Members. This document details the conduct we expect and require of every Member of the RiverWired Service.

In order to use the Service, including new features or functionality that RiverWired may make available from time to time, Members must agree to be bound by the obligations of this Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by them, you may not use the Service. If, upon use of the Site and entrance into this Agreement, Members fail to comply with any of these terms or engage in egregious abuse or other inappropriate activity, we have the right to terminate accounts and all corresponding content. Although we are not obligated to do so, we will make our best effort to notify you when we do this and explain why we have taken specific actions.

ELIGIBILITY Membership in the Service is void where prohibited. You must be thirteen or older to register as a Member of RiverWired, and registration by anyone under the age of thirteen is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms of Service. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you are thirteen or older and that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement and abide by all of its terms and conditions. If, at any time and for any reason, RiverWired believes that you are under thirteen, it may terminate your membership and all corresponding content and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service or the Site in sole discretion, with or without notice.

REGISTRATION DATA AND ACCOUNT SECURITY In order to participate as a Member, with access to the community and resources of the RiverWired platform, you agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete registration information and to maintain and promptly update your data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. When you register, you will assume a password and identification, and you will remain solely responsible for any and all activity that takes place under your password and identification, whether or not you have authorized such activity. It is up to you to maintain the confidentiality of your password and account information, and you agree to notify RiverWired immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or other breach of security. RiverWired is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from failure to comply with these provisions.

CONTENT POSTED ON THE SITE As a RiverWired Member, you will be able to Post Content on and through the Service and the Site. RiverWired does not claim ownership of such Content. (Note, though, that submissions for promotions run by other parties on this site may have different terms, and those terms will determine ownership of submissions.) The Content will be owned by you or, if you have permission to Post Content belonging to third parties, by those third parties. However, you grant RiverWired, to the fullest extent permissible by law, a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, transferable, non-exclusive license (with the right to sublicense) to reproduce, display, modify, adapt and publish your Content for any purpose on or in connection with the Site and its display, distribution and promotion. RiverWired may preserve, delete, or disclose Content if required to do so by law or if it believes that such preservation, disclosure or deletion is necessary to comply with due legal process, to enforce these Terms and Conditions, to respond to third party claims of Content violation or to protect the rights, property or safety of RiverWired, its users and the public.

RiverWired claims immunity from liability to the fullest extent under the law and as provided under the Communications Decency Act for any Content provided by third parties and members, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or usurp such immunity. RiverWired cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. RiverWired does not pre-screen content, but will have the right to remove Content for any reason (for example, if the Content violates these Terms and Conditions). Simply put, if you post Content on the Site or through the Service, you are responsible for it.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS You acknowledge and agree that RiverWired owns and retains proprietary rights in the Site and the Service to certain copyrighted material, trademarks, and other proprietary information. Except for information in the public domain or for which you have been granted specific permission, you may not copy, distribute, frame, reproduce, republish, download, display, post, transmit or sell in any form or by any means any such proprietary information or material. You acknowledge and agree that to do so would constitute a copyright infringement or otherwise result in a violation of intellectual property rights and applicable laws.
