User Submissions
As a user of our http://ZigZagWare.com website, you
are responsible for your own communications and are responsible for the
consequences of their posting. You must not do the following things: post
material that is copyrighted, unless you are the copyright owner or have
the permission of the copyright owner to post it; post material that
reveals trade secrets, unless you own them or have the permission of the
owner; post material that infringes on any other intellectual property
rights of others or on the privacy or publicity rights of others; post
material that is obscene, profane, defamatory, threatening, harassing,
abusive, hateful, or embarrassing to another user of our website or any
other person or entity; post a sexually-explicit image; post
advertisements or solicitations of business; post chain letters or pyramid
schemes; or impersonate another person.
Our website does not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or
reliability of any communications posted by other users of our website or
endorse any opinions expressed by users of our website. You acknowledge
that any reliance on material posted by other users of our website will be
at your own risk.
Our ZigZagWare.com website does not necessarily screen communications in
advance and is not responsible for screening or monitoring material posted
by users of our website. If observed by our website and/or notified by a
user of communications which allegedly do not conform to this agreement,
our website may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and
its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the
communication. Our website has no liability or responsibility to users of
our website for performance or nonperformance of such activities. Our
website reserves the right to expel users of our website and prevent their
further access to our website for violating this agreement or any law or
regulation, and also reserves the right to remove communications which are
abusive, illegal, or disruptive.
Social Media Warning (Divulgence of Personal & Private Information)
Social media has provided a platform for internet
users to disclose much personal information about themselves, in a way
that seems innocuous, if not proper and expected. However, more than a few
folks have already lived to regret personal information that was shared
either by them or others. This has long been true of simple email. It is
exponentially true of social websites and applications for social media on
any other website, including this one. You are cautioned against
carelessly disclosing information.
3. Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
our ZigZagWare.com website, its members, officers, directors, employees,
agents, licensors, suppliers and any third party information providers to
our website from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any use of our
website or violation of this Agreement (including negligent or wrongful
conduct) by you or any other person accessing our website.
4. Third Party Rights.
The provisions of paragraphs 2 (Use of the
Service), and 3 (Indemnification) are for the benefit of our website and
its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers,
and any third party information providers to the Service. Each of these
individuals or entities shall have the right to assert and enforce those
provisions directly against you on its/their own behalf.
5.Term; Termination.
 We reserve the right to investigate
complaints or reported violations of these Terms of Service and Conditions
of Use and to take any action we deem appropriate, including but not
limited to reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement
officials, regulators, or other third parties and disclosing any data
necessary or appropriate to such persons or entities relating to your
profile, email addresses, usage history, IP addresses and traffic data.
This Agreement, in whole or in part, may be terminated by
ZigZagWare.com
without notice at any time for any reason. The provisions of paragraphs 1
(Copyright, Licenses and Idea Submissions), 2 (Use of the Service), 3
(Indemnification), 4 (Third Party Rights), 6 (Hiring an Attorney / No
Attorney-Client Relationship), and 7 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any
termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.
6.Hiring an Investment Advisor, Attorney, or Medical or Other
Professional / No Attorney-Client Relationship or Fiduciary Capacity.
Choosing a lawyer, doctor, or investment advisor
is a serious matter and should NOT be based solely on data contained on
our website or in advertisements.
The law is constantly changing and the data may not be complete or
accurate depending on your particular legal issue. Each legal issue
depends on its individual facts and different jurisdictions have different
laws and regulations. This is why you should seriously consider hiring
licensed, professional counsel in your jurisdiction.
Medical issues are complex, and can often stem from both organic and
psychological factors. Never should a website be used as a source of
diagnosing or treating medical problems.
Financial matters are highly individualistic. Risk tolerance is just one
factor to consider before making any investments or financial decisions.
For these, and other, reasons, you should look to the guidance of a
trained professional, not a website.
You may send us email, but in no instance will this communication in any
way be construed as initiating an attorney-client relationship, or other
professional relationship, and so the contact should not include
confidential or sensitive data because your communication will not be
treated as privileged or confidential.
7.Miscellaneous.
Governing Law
This Agreement shall treated as though executed,
set in force, and performed in the State of YOURSTATE. Accordingly, it
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of YOURSTATE
in terms of those applicable to agreements, without regard to conflict of
law principles.
Disputes
Any cause of action by you with respect to our
http://ZigZagWare.com website must be instituted within one (1) year after
the cause of action arose or be forever waived and barred. All actions
shall be subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms of Service
and Conditions of Use. Any legal claim arising out of or relating to these
Terms of Service and Conditions of Use or our website, excluding
intellectual property right infringement and other claims by us, shall be
settled confidentially through mandatory binding arbitration per the
American Arbitration Association commercial arbitration rules. The
arbitration shall be conducted in YOURSTATE. Each party shall bear one
half of the arbitration fees and costs incurred, and each party shall bear
its own lawyer fees. All claims shall be arbitrated on an individual
basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or
controversy of any other party.
Modification
Neither the course of conduct between the parties
nor industry trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this
Agreement.
Assignability
Our website may assign its rights and duties under
this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.
Contra Preferentum
The language in these Terms of Service and
Conditions of Use shall be interpreted as to its fair meaning and not
strictly for or against any party. Any rule of construction to the effect
that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party (i.e. –
“contra preferentum”) shall not apply in interpreting these Terms of
Service and Conditions of Use, as the Agreement shall be construed as
having been co-authored by the parties.
Severability
Should any part of these Terms of Service and
Conditions of Use be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be
construed as much as possible consistent with applicable law and
severability shall apply to the remaining portions, so that they remain in
full force and effect.
This Agreement Prevails
To the extent that anything in or associated with
our website is in conflict or inconsistent with these Terms of Service and
Conditions of Use, these Terms of Service and Conditions of Use shall take
precedence.
Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision of these
Terms of Service and Conditions of Use shall not be deemed a waiver of the
provision nor of the right to enforce the provision.
Our rights under these Terms of Service and Conditions of Use shall
survive any termination of this agreement.
Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to
ZigZagWare.com.

pages, the contents of this page can and will change over time.
