CONTENT OWNERSHIP
As a Member or Guest, you will be able to post various forms of Content into your submissions. Roadcarvin does not claim ownership of the Content you submit to Roadcarvin. The Content will be owned by you or a third party from whom you got permission to post the content. By placing Content on Roadcarvin, however, you grant Roadcarvin a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license, for as long as your Content is displayed on Roadcarvin, to reproduce, display, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your Content on Roadcarvin. Roadcarvin may preserve and store Content, and may also disclose Content if required to do so by law or if Roadcarvin believes in good faith that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process (e.g., subpoenas); (b) enforce these Terms of Service; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Roadcarvin, its users and the public.
The Member or Guest who posts content, and not Roadcarvin, will be fully responsible for all Content that is uploaded, posted, transmitted or otherwise made available by the Membor or Guest in his or her postings. Roadcarvin cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. Roadcarvin does not pre-screen Content, but will have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse or remove any Content in a posting for any reason, including Content that may violate these Terms, or that is otherwise objectionable. Roadcarvin also cannot take responsibility for anything that surfers may do in reliance on the Content you post. Bottom line: put it on Roadcarvin, and you're responsible.
EXTERNAL LINKS
Contributed Content may include links to other sites or resources. Roadcarvin has no control over those sites and resources, and therefore you acknowledge and agree that Roadcarvin is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources, or for any damages caused or alleged to be caused by or in relation to such Content, goods or services.
NO RESALE OF SERVICE
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service.
Roadcarvin CAN MODIFY OR DISCONTINUE THE SERVICE
Roadcarvin reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice, without liability to you or any third party.
Roadcarvin CAN TERMINATE THE SERVICE
Roadcarvin, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account or use of or access to the Service and remove and discard any Content, for any reason. Some of the more likely reasons for termination are inaccurate information in the registration form, harassment of other Members or Guests, hacking the Service, illegal transactions via Roadcarvin, and otherwise acting in violation of the terms or the spirit of these Terms of Service or other policies. If Roadcarvin terminates your use of the Service, then your Content may be immediately taken down, and your account (if any) may be closed. In this event, Roadcarvin will not be responsible to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. You expressly understand and agree that your use of the Service is at your sole risk. Roadcarvin expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Roadcarvin makes no warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you through the service will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the software will be corrected.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
You expressly understand and agree that Roadcarvin will not be liable 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 (even if advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from the use or the inability to use the Service, unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data, statements or conduct of any third party on the Service, or any other matter relating to the Service.
MISCELLANEOUS TERMS
These Terms of Service and the relationship between you and Roadcarvin will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The failure of Roadcarvin to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms of Service, together with any other agreements incorporated by reference in these Terms of Service or entered into between you and Roadcarvin in connection with your registration as a Member, constitute the entire agreement between you and Roadcarvin and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Roadcarvin. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or other Roadcarvin services, third-party content or third-party software. 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 Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
