Terms of Use
The following Terms of Use govern the use of Self-Instruct and form a legally-binding contract between you (“you” or the “user”) and us (“us” or “we” or “our”, the provider of the Self-Instruct services). Your use of our services constitutes agreement to these Terms of Use and so we ask that you please read the following Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”).
Overview
These Terms of Use tell you about our services, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. You acknowledge that content on this website is externally sourced, and that we do not expressly contribute, monitor, moderate or delete content (with the rare exception of policies like these Terms of Use or legal compliance for DMCA notices). We merely host this content. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of a licensed or qualified professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.
1. Our Services
We act only as a hosting service, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework that allows our users to view and enjoy content sourced from external sources. We do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content. Instead, we simply provide access to the content.
2. Content We Host
You may find some material objectionable or erroneous. Because we provide a wide array of content that is produced or gathered from external sources, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services. Our content is for general informational purposes only. Although we host information that pertains to professional topics, including medical, legal, or financial issues, this content is presented for general informational purposes only. It should not be taken as professional advice. You are advised to always seek independent professional counseling from someone who is licensed or qualified in the applicable area in lieu of acting on any information, opinion, or advice contained in one of the Project websites. Trademarks, Intellectual Property Rights, and DMCA Due to content being sourced from external sources, occasionally content may reference trademarks or other intellectual property owned by third party. This is not intentional. If these are used in violation of their respective licensing agreements we agree to remove the offending content. If you believe your trademark or other intellectual property is being used in violation, contact us requesting removal of the offending content.
3. Disclaimers
Your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure. We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use. Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.
4. Limitation on Liability
Self-Instruct, and all of its affiliates including owners, directors, employees, developers and shareholders will not be liable to you or to any other party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damage. In no event shall our liability amount to any financial amount. In the case that applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
5. Modifications to these Terms of Use
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Your continued use of our services after the new Terms of Use become available constitutes an acceptance of the new Terms of Use on your part. If you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you must not use our services.
