Site Performance

While IA does its best to ensure the optimal performance of the Site, you agree that you use this Site and rely on the Materials contained in this Site at your own risk. The Site, and all Materials in this Site, are provided "as is" and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, are provided without warranties of any kind either express or implied. This means, without limitation, that IA does not warrant that the Site is fit for any particular purpose; that the functions contained in the Materials will be uninterrupted; that defects will be corrected; that the Site is free of viruses and other harmful components; or that the Site is accurate, error free or reliable. 

Further, you acknowledge that IA, its parents and affiliates, together with their respective employees, agents, directors, officers and shareholders, are not liable for any delays, inaccuracies, failures, errors, omissions, interruptions, deletions, defects, viruses, communication line failures or for the theft, destruction, damage or unauthorized access to your computer system or network. 

Links

While visiting the Site, you may be redirected to certain non-IA sites. For example, we may provide links to other websites containing information or tools that may be useful to you in making or defending an Accusation. We do not endorse, and are not responsible for, the content and accuracy of these sites. We also do not warrant that these sites are free from any claims of copyright, trademark or other infringement of the rights of third parties, or that such sites are free of computer viruses. We are also not responsible for the content of any site linked to our site. 

The Site allows you to link to User Content contained in the Site for your personal, non-commercial use only. Further, the Site provides access to an "Embeddable Player" feature, which you may incorporate into your personal website or when making a post to a third-party website (subject to that website’s Terms of Use), for your personal, non-commercial use only, to access the User Content contained in the Site, provided that you include a prominent link back to our Site on the pages containing the Embeddable Player. The use of the Embeddable Player may be subject to additional terms and conditions. 

If you link to our Site or incorporate User Content from our Site into your website as permitted above, you should not falsely imply or state that we sponsor, endorse or are otherwise affiliated with your website, unless you have obtained our express authorization to make such representation. 

Site Features

Although IA has control over the technology, tools, images, instructional videos and supporting language that it places into the Site (the "Site Features"), the Site’s purpose is to present features that enable Users to create content and to debate the respective merits and demerits of the arguments they set forth for resolution.  Accordingly, the Site Features are intended to be neutral, and if at any time it appears that IA is making comment, offering an opinion or in any other way entering into the debate, IA specifically disclaims the intent to engage in such conduct. Where appropriate, IA may accept suggestions by Site Users and/or third-parties on how best to remain neutral in offering its interactive web service. 

IA will provide neutral "content creation" tools for the benefit of its Users, and may incorporate technology and instructions or links to helpful information and tools designed to make the User’s experience simple, clear, productive, educational and enjoyable. However, IA does not warrant that these Site Features will function as intended, that the User experience will be error free, that any defects created by these Site Features will be corrected, or that these Site Features will produce the desired results.  

One such Site Feature is the auto-generated email from the Accuser to the Accused, which may serve as the initial contact between the parties to the dispute so that resolution might be explored. If you are the Accuser, you should understand that when you initiate this Site Feature, an email will be sent to the Accused notifying him of your Accusation. If you are the Accused, you should understand that the auto-generated email was initiated by the Accuser as an effort to engage you in dispute resolution. This Site Feature will only initiate if the Accuser enters complete and accurate contact information for the Accused while uploading the Accusation. Further, IA cannot guarantee that even if the contact information is complete and accurate, that the Accused will receive the email, or that the Accused will read and respond to the email even if received. IA will not make any independent effort to contact the Accused or to place the Accused in contact with the Accuser aside from this neutral Site Feature. 

User Content

The Site’s primary purpose is to enable an Accuser to make an Accusation of breach, failure of duty or performance, intentional misconduct or some other malfeasance committed against another, and for the Accused to respond and defend against the Accusation. Through the participation of other Site Users who may review and evaluate the evidence set forth in prosecution and defense of the Accusation made, the Site seeks to encourage resolution of the disputed claims, and perhaps simultaneously, of related or similar matters affecting the community.

  

To achieve this purpose, the Site is designed to provide you with the opportunity to state your Accusation verbally and to support it through the upload of documentary evidence, photographs, and videos, and for other Site Users to provide commentary, feedback, ideas for resolution, private messages and other user content. Site Users are also offered the chance to vote for the party in the dispute whom they feel should receive some relief. (All of this shall be collectively known as "User Content").

In connection with your User Content, you agree that you will not submit material that is contrary to the laws of the United States or the State of Texas, or which may be contrary to applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations. You warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to such User Content, that it is accurate, and that its use does not violate these Terms of Use and will not injure any person or entity. You further agree not to upload, post or otherwise make available User Content that is protected by a third party’s trademark, copyright or other proprietary right without the express permission of the third-party owner of the right. You shall be solely liable for any damage resulting from any infringements on third-party rights resulting from your submission of such User Content.

If you upload or transmit User Content, you grant to IA a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable right to use, reuse, edit, modify, translate, create derivative works from (including products), display, reproduce, publish, broadcast, stream, upload, download, and in all ways distribute and disseminate such User Content, in whole or in part, throughout the world in all media. You further grant to IA the right to use your name and likeness and/or the name and likeness submitted with such User Content, without the requirement of payment and waiving all privacy and publicity rights you may have to the publication and dissemination of your name and likeness.

Additionally, you grant each user of the Site a non-exclusive license to access your User Content through the Site, and to use, reuse, display, reproduce, publish, broadcast, stream, upload, download, and in all ways distribute and disseminate such User Content as permitted through the functionality of the Site and under these Terms of Use. These user licenses granted by you are perpetual and irrevocable, accept that same will terminate within a commercially reasonable time after the User Content is removed or deleted from the Site at the sole discretion of IA. You understand and agree, however, that IA may retain, but not display, distribute or disseminate, server copies of your User Content that have been removed or deleted.

You agree that any User Content that you submit shall be considered non-proprietary and non-confidential. IA shall have no obligations of any kind with respect to any User Content and shall be free to use, display, reproduce, distribute and disseminate any User Content for any purpose whatsoever, without limitation. You also agree that IA shall be free to use any ideas, concepts or techniques embodied in the User Content for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, producing, developing and marketing news stories, television programs, films, Internet programming or content of any kind, products or services incorporating such ideas, concepts, or techniques, without attribution. In addition, you hereby waive all moral rights you may have in any User Content uploaded or sent to us by you. 

With respect to any User Content, IA is merely a distributor of such Content. You understand and agree that IA has the right in its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to monitor, edit, and remove any posted User Content, but at the same time assumes no liability for any such User Content. IA specifically disclaims having conducted or employed any independent investigation into the accuracy, trustworthiness, veracity, completeness or usefulness of any User Content, and makes no warranty that any User Content is worthy of reliance by you or any third party for any purpose. It is expressly your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, trustworthiness, veracity, completeness or usefulness of the User Content presented.  

Consequently, IA is not responsible for the opinions, accusations, judgments, criticisms, recommendations, advice or other statements (collectively, the "Statements") within the User Content. IA does not endorse any User Content or any Statements expressed therein, and IA expressly disclaims any and all liability that arises therefrom. The Statements are those of the Site Users submitting the User Content, who are solely responsible for them. IA asserts the protections of The Communications Decency Act, 47 USCA §230, which insulates the provider of an interactive computer service from liability for the content provided by its Site Users or other third-party content providers.

 

You may be exposed to User Content that you find offensive, indecent, inaccurate, misleading or otherwise objectionable. By using this Site, you agree to accept such risks and you agree that we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of our Site Users. We may now or in the future provide you a mechanism or click button to allow you to report any User Content that you find objectionable. But please understand that in so doing, we do not guarantee that any such User Content will be removed, edited or deleted, and we are not responsible or liable for our refusing or failing to remove, edit or delete any User Content that you find objectionable. The Communications Decency Act, 47 USCA §230.

Notwithstanding, IA does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on its Site, and IA will remove User Content if properly notified that such User Content infringes on another’s intellectual property rights. IA reserves the right to remove such User Content without prior notice.
