posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Site.
6. What are the Rules and Policies Concerning the Forums?
Considering the real-time nature of our message boards and chat rooms,
and the number of messages posted, it is impossible for us to review all of the
messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Although we monitor the
contents of our message boards and chat rooms, we are not responsible for any messages
posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or
usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message.
The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the
views of Advice Local.
Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact
us immediately. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will
make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that
removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that
we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. Under no circumstances
shall Advice Local be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential
damages that result from use of, or the inability to use a message board. You specifically
acknowledge and agree that Advice Local shall not be liable to you for any defamatory,
offensive or illegal conduct of any other user.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use our message boards
or chat rooms to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate,
abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening,
invasive of a person's privacy, advocates any illegal or dangerous activity, or
otherwise violates any law, or that contains any virus or other harmful component.
This means that you agree not to say bad things about someone else, send them unwanted
messages, or attack their race, heritage, etc. You agree not to post any material
that infringes upon or violates any party's copyright, trademark, trade secret or
other proprietary rights. With respect to copyright law, be advised that posting
any third party's copyrighted work on our boards may violate the owner's copyright.
You also may not include in any message that you post anywhere on Advice Local any
link to any site that violates any of the foregoing terms and conditions.
We reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You
remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify
and hold harmless Advice Local and its agents with respect to any claim based upon
transmission of your message(s).
We also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know
about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message
posted by you.
Please note that spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and other such solicitations
are inappropriate on our web site and posting of any of these or other repetitive
postings may constitute a violation of our rights for which we reserve the right
to take legal action.
We also reserve the right to terminate access to the site to those who engage in
any violations of these rules.
7. How Do the Copyright Laws Apply to Content I Submit to the Site?
As a condition of membership, you hereby grant Advice Local a perpetual,
universal, nonexclusive right to copy, display, modify, alter, transmit and distribute
any Content stored by you or otherwise provided by you to the Advice Local. You represent
and guarantee to Advice Local, as a condition of membership, that you are the legal
owner of the copyright to all Content you submit to Advice Local or that you have
permission from the copyright owner to submit the Content to Advice Local.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Advice Local respects the intellectual property of others and complies with
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA"). The DMCA, which heightens
the penalties for copyright infringement on the Internet, sets forth the following
requirements for notifying online service providers of alleged copyright infringement.
If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright
infringement, please send notice of your claim to:
ADVICE LOCAL
7850 Collin McKinney Parkway #300
McKinney, TX 75070
214.233.0740
support@advicelocal.com
It is Advice Local's policy to expeditiously remove content that is the subject of
a correctly prepared notice under the DMCA. To be effective, your notice of copyright
infringement must be written and must include the following (For more details on
the information required for valid notification, see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
- Your signature (physical or electronic) or the signature of a person authorized
to act on your behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing as well as information
reasonably sufficient to permit Advice Local to locate the material.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit Advice Local to contact you, such as
an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner
complained of is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
- A statement that, under penalty of perjury, the information in the notification
is accurate.
Advice Local encourages you to consult a lawyer before submitting a notice of copyright
infringement. You should be aware that, under the DMCA, claimants who make misrepresentations
concerning copyright infringement may be liable for damages incurred as a result
of the removal or blocking of the material, court costs, and attorneys’ fees.
8. What if the Site or a Feature on the Site is not Working?
Advice Local does not warrant that the Site will function uninterrupted or
error-free, that any defects will be corrected, or that the server that makes the
site available is free of viruses or other harmful components. Advice Local may change,
suspend or discontinue all or any aspect of the Site at any time, including the
availability of any database, feature, or content, without prior notice or liability.
9. What if Content I Submit or Use on The Site is Lost or Corrupted?
Advice Local urges all members to maintain backup versions of their Content
to guard against losses of any kind. Advice Local is not responsible for any loss
of Content resulting from Advice Local suspension or deletion of Content, network
or system outages, file corruption or for any other reason. Advice Local is not required
to return any Content you submit to the Site.
10. What Should I Know About Dealings With Advertisers, Individuals and Businesses Using the Site.
Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions
of the advertisers found on or through the Site, including payment and delivery
of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations
associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such advertiser. You agree
that Advice Local shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any
sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence
of such advertisers on the Site.
With your prior permission, individuals or businesses may contact you through email, SMS or other electronic means
using the services that Advice Local provides to those persons or businesses. Advice Local has a no tolerance spam policy.
Any Advice Local user found to be sending spam will be immediately cut-off from use of the service and may be subject
to legal action by Advice Local, government authorities, or the recipients of those messages.
If you know of or suspect any violators, please notify us immediately.
Every out-going email and instant message sent using the Advice Local service must contain an unsubscribe link that allows the
recipient to remove themselves from your mailing distribution list(s). Voice broadcasts must also include verbal instructions
on how to be removed from your calling list. In the case of mobile messages, the initial message must include STOP instructions
to opt-out of SMS messages. To unsubscribe, recipients are prompted to text STOP to the short code or phone number that sent the unwanted message.
If the unsubscribe link is removed or de-activated in any way, or if the SMS STOP verbiage is omitted, Advice Local will terminate the sender's account.
11. What Should I Know About Using the Site to Send Communications?
You agree you will not access or otherwise use ANY third party mailing lists for email addresses,
instant message screen names, or phone numbers, or otherwise prepare or distribute unsolicited messages in connection with our service.
You agree to import, add, edit, access or otherwise use only lists for which all listed parties have opted-in to receive correspondence
from you ("Permission Based Lists") in connection with your use of the service.
You hereby covenant that you shall not use any other lists in connection with your use of the service.
You acknowledge and agree that not all messages sent via Advice Local's service will be received by their intended recipients. For example, sending a message to a distribution list delivers messages to some unintended recipients by way of your message being forwarded to a changing group of individuals. It is your responsibility to disallow an email address if sending to the address results in message delivery to a distribution list.
You agree to comply with all local, state and federal regulations and general practices governing your specific content or promotion type. Content affiliated with alcoholic beverages is prohibited. In particular, alcoholic beverages or entertainment content or promotions targeted for people under 21 years of age may not be sent through the system.
You will adopt and maintain the Privacy Policy, which may be modified by Advice Local at anytime for any reason.
You agree to identify your organization, product and service accurately and not deceive your recipients
in any message with reference to your identity, offering, availability, pricing, benefits, and any other aspects of your communication.

The Site may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other websites
