Bmcoll TERMS OF SERVICE
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Bmcoll provides a collection of online resources, including
classified
ads, and various email services, (referred to hereafter as 'the
Service') subject to the following Terms of Service ('TOS'). By
using the Service
in any way, you are agreeing to comply with the TOS. In addition,
when using
particular Bmcoll services, you agree to abide by any
applicable posted
guidelines for all Bmcoll services, which may change from
time to time.
Should you object to any term or condition of the TOS, any
guidelines,
or any subsequent modifications thereto or become dissatisfied
with Bmcoll
in any way, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue use
of Bmcoll.
Bmcoll has the right, but is not obligated, to strictly
enforce the TOS
through active investigation, litigation and
prosecution.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and
Bmcoll and
govern your use of the Service, superceding any prior agreements
between you
and Bmcoll. The TOS and the relationship between you and
Bmcoll
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without
regard to
its conflict of law provisions. You and Bmcoll agree to
submit to the
personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within
the county
of San Francisco, California. The failure of Bmcoll to
exercise or
enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a
waiver of
such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a
court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless
agree that
the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties'
intentions as
reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS
remain in
full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or
law to
the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or
related to use
of the Service or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after
such
claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
CONTENT
You understand that all postings, messages, text, files, images,
photos,
video, sounds, or other materials ('Content') posted on,
transmitted
through, or linked from the Service, are the sole responsibility
of the
person from whom such Content originated. More specifically, you
are
entirely responsible for each individual item ('Item') of Content
that you
post, email or otherwise make available via the Service. You
understand that
Bmcoll does not control, and is not responsible for Content
made available
through the Service, and that by using the Service, you may be
exposed to
Content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate, misleading, or
otherwise
objectionable. Furthermore, the Bmcoll site and Content
available through
the Service may contain links to other websites, which are
completely
independent of Bmcoll. Bmcoll makes no representation
or warranty as
to the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of the information
contained
in any such site. Your linking to any other webites is at your own
risk.
You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated
with, the
use of any Content, that you may not rely on said Content, and
that under no
circumstances will Bmcoll be liable in any way for 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 made available via the Service. You
acknowledge
that Bmcoll does not pre-screen or approve Content, but that
Bmcoll
shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole
discretion to
refuse, delete or move any Content that is available via the
Service, for
violating the letter or spirit of the TOS or for any other
reason.
THIRD PARTY CONTENT, SITES, AND SERVICES
The Bmcoll site and Content available through the Service
may contain
features and functionalities that may link you or provide you with
access
to third party content which is completely independent of
Bmcoll,
including web sites, directories, servers, networks, systems,
information
and databases, applications, software, programs, products or
services,
and the Internet as a whole.
Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on
or through
the Service, including payment and delivery of goods or services,
and any
other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated
with such
dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or
individuals.
You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or
appropriate
before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any
of these
third parties.
You agree that Bmcoll shall not be responsible or liable for
any loss or
damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings. If
there is
a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and
any third
party, you understand and agree that Bmcoll is under no
obligation to
become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or
more other
users, you hereby release Bmcoll, its officers, employees,
agents and
successors in rights from claims, demands and damages (actual and
consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown,
suspected and
unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any
way related
to such disputes and / or our service. If you are a California
resident, you
waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: 'A general
release does
not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect
to exist in
his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by
him must
have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.'
