4. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is available “As Is.” TRE and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors or other third-party providers do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. There may be delays, omissions, interruptions and inaccuracies in the news, information, e-commerce product offerings or other materials available through the service. We are not responsible for the availability, content or services of other third-party providers, online merchants or advertisers that may be linked to or posted within the service, including in the classified and marketplace sections thereof.

TRE and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors or other third-party providers do not make any warranties or representations, express or implied, including without limitation, those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to the service or any information or goods that are available or advertised or sold through the service, including in the marketplace section.

TRE and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors or other third-party providers do not make any representations, nor do TRE and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors or other third-party providers endorse the accuracy, satisfactory quality, completeness, non-infringement, compatibility, security, timeliness or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement or other material or database displayed, uploaded or distributed in the service or available through links in the service.

TRE and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors or other third-party providers do not accept any responsibility for any statement published via the service. You must not rely on any statement, materials or information published on TRE web site without taking professional advice. We reserve the right to correct any errors or omissions in the service.

TRE and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors or other third-party providers will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by anything as a result of using the service, viewing, reading or listening to other material or any part of it. Although we intend to take reasonable steps to prevent the introduction of viruses, worms, “Trojan Horses” or other destructive materials to the service, TRE and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors or other third-party providers do not guarantee or warrant that the service or materials that may be downloaded from the service do not contain such destructive features.

TRE and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors or other third-party providers are not liable for any damage or harm attributable to such features.

6. General

8.1 TRE shall have the right to sub-license, sub-contract, assign or transfer its rights and obligations in this Agreement to any third party at its sole and absolute discretion.

8.2 This Agreement shall be governed by applicable laws in the country with competent jurisdiction and any action arising under this Agreement shall be submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.

7. Defamation, Libel, and Slander

We normally do not remove allegedly defamatory content from our site, but we do endeavor to not publish such questionable content.

The language of Section 230(c) of the US Communications Decency Act fundamentally states that Internet services like Google, Blogger, WordPress and TR Emeritus are republishers and not the publisher of that content (with the exception of editorial pieces). Therefore, these sites are not held liable for any allegedly defamatory, offensive or harassing content published on the site.

Please note that we may not remove posts for containing insults or negative commentary. While posts that contain such content can be distasteful, we are not in a position to arbitrate disputes.

We strongly believe in freedom of speech. We believe that having a variety of perspectives is an important part of what makes blogs such as ours an exciting and diverse medium. With that said, there are certain types of content that are not allowed. While we value and safeguard political and social commentary, material that promotes hatred toward groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity is not allowed on our site.

8. Impersonation

If one of our user is impersonating you by using your real name in their profile, please let us know and we will take action as necessary. Please note that this does not include cases of parody or satire of individuals. Unfortunately, we are  not in a position to determine ownership of nicknames, handles, or screen names for non-members.

We take the disclosure of confidential information very seriously; however, please note that the mention of your full name or any other publicly available information is permitted and does not constitute a disclosure of confidential information. Providing us with accurate and complete information in the web form provided will allow us to assist you quickly and effectively, if the need arises.

10. Violation of AUP and TOS

What constitutes a violation of our AUP and TOS is at the sole discretion of TRE.

If you have an issue that's not covered above, please use our online web form to contact us.
