Terms Of Service
This agreement represents the complete agreement and understanding between 'ChristianBlog' (aka: ChristianBlog.Com), 4CM Network and its affiliates (hereinafter called the Provider) and the account holder (hereinafter called Customer) and supersedes any other written or oral agreement. The Provider reserves the right to modify this agreement at any time, effective upon posting of the modified Policy at http://www.christianblog.com/tos.php
If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please notify our Support Department (support@christianblog.com) so we can initiate a closure of your account. USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT shall constitute your approval.
The Provider makes no guarantees of service of any kind, whether expressed or implied, for the service it is providing. The Provider also disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The Provider will not be responsible for damages the Customer suffers. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries, mis-deliveries, or service interruptions caused by its own negligence, Customer's errors or omissions, or due to the fault of third parties. The Provider agrees to maintain and provide the highest level of service possible, and to maintain a good-faith relationship with the Customer.
Services provided to the Customer by the Provider may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission or publication of any information, data or material in violation of any U.S. Federal or state regulation or law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material protected by copyright, trade secret or any other statute, threatening material or obscene material. The Provider reserves the right, without notification to the customer, to remove any and all materials which infringe on copyright work. Such materials may be removed at any time, without notification to the customer, upon receiving a complaint and or notice of copyright infringement. The Provider agrees that in except for extreme cases, customers will be contacted prior to disconnection of service.
Customer agrees to defend, hold harmless and expeditiously indemnify the Provider from any liability, claim, loss, damage or expense arising out of the indemnifying party's breach or violation of any covenant contained in this Policy and resulting from the Customer's use of the service.
In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or the Provider has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, the Provider has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).
The Customer accounts cannot be transferred or used by anyone other than the Customer and authorized account sub-users. Customer may not sell, lease, rent or assign the connection or parts of the connection to any party not named in this Policy, unless the Provider's plan allows such service.
The Provider reserves the right to cancel service for any reason without prior notice.
If Customer re-registers after the Provider's cancellation of the account without the Provider's written consent, the Provider will cancel Customer's account and all dues and fees paid to date regardless of whether service has been rendered will be forfeited. Additionally, any amounts due will be immediately payable.
If Customer cancels more than five (5) days into a payment period NO membership fees will be returned to the Customer. If the Customer cancels their account within the first 24 hours their fees will be refunded minus $8.50 to cover setup fees and additional service charges associated with the payment process made by the Customer. If the Provider cancels a Customer account within the first 24 hours of the time the Customer made their Membership Payment, all fees will be returned.
Customer agrees not to utilize the Provider service, network, equipment or email addresses in connection with the transmission of the same or substantially similar unsolicited message. Customers responsible for violating this clause of the Provider's Terms and Conditions will be fined $200 per message, due immediately. Payment by Customer under this provision shall not prevent the Provider from seeking other legal remedies against Customer.
Again, if any Customer is involved with "spam" sent from our network, and/or spam sent from other networks attempting to advertise the Customer's site or service hosted on the Provider's network, the Customer agrees to be fined $200 per message, due immediately.
Customer agrees not to transmit, promote, or otherwise make available any software, product or service that is either illegal or designed to violate this Agreement. Such software, products or services include, but are not limited to, programs designed to send unsolicited advertisements (i.e. "spamware") and services which send unsolicited advertisements.
The Provider requires that its agreements be made with a person who is qualified to contract. As such, Customer must be over the age of eighteen (18) years. The Provider cannot accept payments from persons who are not at least eighteen (18) years of age, nor can we accept agreements from persons who are not at least eighteen (18) years of age. The Provider limits the ability to verify age by the usage of Credit Card payments at time of account setup.
Customer shall ensure that its use of the Provider's network services shall not disrupt the Provider, its associated networks or equipment forming part of the systems. In instances in which an excessive amount of system resources are utilized by a Customer, the Provider reserves the right to place CPU process limits on the Customer's account, or a bandwidth throttle, to prevent disruption of service to other customers. Provider will make all attempts to contact Customer prior to applying any traffic-slowing restriction to the Customer’s account. Customer shall not transmit any communication where the meaning of the message, or its transmission or distribution, would violate any applicable law or regulation or would likely be offensive to the recipient thereof. No message may be mass distributed, "broadcast," or otherwise sent on an intrusive basis to any Provider user or to any directly or indirectly attached network. Use of the Provider's connection in a manner that is disruptive, damaging, unlawful, offensive, or intrusive as determined by the Provider shall be considered a breach of this Policy and may result in cancellation of service. This prohibition extends to sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service which in any way implicates the use of the Provider's service, the Provider's equipment or any site hosted on any Provider's network.
Customer warrants that any material submitted for publication on the Provider does not violate or infringe any copyright, trademark, patent, statutory common law or proprietary interest of others or contain anything obscene or libelous. The Provider reserves the right to remove any and all materials which infringe on copyright work. Such materials will be removed at any time upon receiving a complaint and or notice of copyright infringement.
If the Provider becomes aware of material that could be infringing on a third party's copyright, it will initiate an investigation. To conduct an investigation of copyright infringement, the Complainant must submit at least two items. First, Complainant must submit a claim in writing with the applicable copyright or trademark registration number and a copy of the underlying copyrighted work along with the Customer's materials. Second, Complainant must offer a good faith certification signed under penalty of perjury. This certification must state that the work is the property of the Complainant, that the work has been copied and that use of the work is not defensible. With this information in-hand, the Provider, at its discretion, may, at any time deny access to the challenged material of Customer.
Use of other organizations' networks or computing resources is subject to their respective permission and usage policies.
Use of the Provider's services could involve listing Customer's participation in relevant directories, and Customer expressly grants permission for such listings.
Any party seeking to report violations of the Provider's policy may contact via e-mail: support@christian.com.
On occasion, the Provider may have a need to communicate with Customer through e-mail issues related to billing, as well as changes, additions and modifications to the website. It is the responsibility of the Customer to check e-mail sent to the e-mail address listed with the Provider.
It is the responsibility of the Customer to contact the Provider of any changes to their account, such as phone number, address, credit card information, email address, etc. Customer will be required to provide verification for security purposes authorizing them to make any changes to that account. Customer Accounts are subject to suspension if their supplied email address stops working or denies our email transmissions for any reason.
Customer accounts are payable in full at the time the account is created. Any account reaching one (1) days past due is subject to suspension for nonpayment. All Customer accounts are subject to termination after one (1) day in a past due payment status. Both suspension and termination are processed without notification to Customer. At the Providers discretion, Customer information will be maintained within Providers database for a period of at least thirty (30) days after which the Provider reserves all rights to remove Customer information.
Policy Enforcement:
The Provider reserves all rights to monitor and review all Blog Entry and Blog Comment postings, Internal Messages, and any other Member-To-Member communications, including those marked Private by the Customer, in order to investigate and monitor all compliance with this Policy, and other Global Policies.
The Provider reserves all rights to update this Policy without notification to it's Customers.
