Terms of Use

 

 

I. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

 

 

The Greensheet provides a collection of online resources  (referred to hereafter

as "the Service") subject to the following Terms of Use ("TOU"). By using the Service

in any way, you are agreeing to comply with the TOU. In addition, when using

particular Greensheet services, you agree to abide by any applicable posted

guidelines for all Greensheet services, which may change from time to time. 

Should you object to any term or condition of the TOU, any guidelines,

or any subsequent modifications thereto or become dissatisfied with The Greensheet

in any way, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue use of The Greensheet. 

The Greensheet has the right, but is not obligated, to strictly enforce the TOU

through self-help, community moderation, active investigation, litigation and

prosecution.

 

 

 

 

II. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT

 

 

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify or otherwise

alter these terms and conditions at any time.  Such modifications shall become

effective immediately upon the posting thereof. You must review this agreement

on a regular basis to keep yourself apprised of any changes.

 

 

III. CONTENT

 

 

You understand that all postings, messages, text, files, images, photos,

video, sounds, or other materials ("Content") posted on, transmitted

through, or linked from the Service, are the sole responsibility of the

person from whom such Content originated. More specifically, you are

entirely responsible for each individual item ("Item") of Content that you

post, email or otherwise make available via the Service. You understand that

The Greensheet does not control, and is not responsible for Content made available

through the Service, and that by using the Service, you may be exposed to

Content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise

objectionable. Furthermore, the Greensheet site and Content available through

the Service may contain links to other websites, which are completely

independent of The Greensheet.  The Greensheet makes no representation or

warranty as to the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of the information

contained in any such site.  Your linking to any other website is at your own risk.

You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the

use of any Content, that you may not rely on said Content, and that under no

circumstances will The Greensheet be liable in any way for any Content or for

any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content

posted, emailed or otherwise made available via the Service. You acknowledge

that The Greensheet does not pre-screen or approve Content, but that The

Greensheet shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to

refuse, delete or move any Content that is available via the Service, for

violating the letter or spirit of the TOU or for any other reason.

VII. ACCESS TO THE SERVICE

 

 

The Greensheet grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive license to access

the Service for your own personal use.  This license does not include:

(a) access to the Service by Posting Agents; or (b) any collection,

aggregation, copying, duplication, display or derivative use of the Service

nor any use of data mining, robots, spiders, or similar data gathering and

extraction tools for any purpose unless expressly permitted by The Greensheet.

A limited exception to (b) is provided to general purpose internet search

engines and non-commercial public archives that use such tools to gather

information for the sole purpose of displaying hyperlinks to the Service,

provided they each do so from a stable IP address or range of IP addresses

using an easily identifiable agent and comply with our robots.txt file.

"General purpose internet search engine" does not include a website or

search engine or other service that specializes in classified listings

or in any subset of classifieds listings such as jobs, housing, for sale,

services, or personals, or which is in the business of providing classified

ad listing services.

 

 

The Greensheet permits you to display on your website, or create a hyperlink

on your website to, individual postings on the Service so long as such use

is for noncommercial and/or news reporting purposes only (e.g., for use in

personal web blogs or personal online media).  If the total number of such

postings displayed or linked to on your website exceeds one hundred (100)

postings, your use will be presumed to be in violation of the TOU,

absent express permission granted by The Greensheet to do so.  You may also

create a hyperlink to the home page of The Greensheet sites so long as the

link does not portray The Greensheet, its employees, or its affiliates in a

false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive matter.

 

 

Use of the Service beyond the scope of authorized access granted to you by

The Greensheet immediately terminates said permission or license.  In order to

collect, aggregate, copy, duplicate, display or make derivative use of the

the Service or any Content made available via the Service for other

purposes (including commercial purposes) not stated herein, you must first

obtain a license from The Greensheet.

 

 

 

 

VIII. TERMINATION OF SERVICE

 

 

You agree that The Greensheet, in its sole discretion, has the right (but not

the obligation) to delete or deactivate your account, block your email or IP

address, or otherwise terminate your access to or use of the Service (or any

part thereof), immediately and without notice, and remove and discard any

Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation,

if The Greensheet believes that you have acted inconsistently with the letter or

spirit of the TOU. Further, you agree that The Greensheet shall not be liable

to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service. 

Further, you agree not to attempt to use the Service after said termination. 

Sections 2, 4, 6 and 10-16 shall survive termination of the TOU.

the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold The Greensheet, its officers, subsidiaries,

affiliates, successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents, service

providers, suppliers and employees, harmless from any claim or demand,

including reasonable attorney fees and court costs, made by any third party

breach of any of the representations and warranties herein, or your

violation of any rights of another.

 

 

 

 

XIII. GENERAL INFORMATION

 

 

The TOU constitute the entire agreement between you and The Greensheet and

govern your use of the Service, superceding any prior agreements between you

and The Greensheet. The TOU and the relationship between you and The Greensheet

shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to

its conflict of law provisions. You and The Greensheet agree to submit to the

personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county

of Harris, Texas. The failure of The Greensheet to exercise or

enforce any right or provision of the TOU shall not constitute a waiver of

such right or provision. If any provision of the TOU is found by a court

of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that

the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as

reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOU remain in

full force and effect. 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 TOU must be filed within one (1) year after such

claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

 

 

 

 

XIV. VIOLATION OF TERMS AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

 

 

Please report any violations of the TOU, by flagging the posting(s) for

review, or by emailing to:

 

 

abuse@thegreensheet.com

 

 

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our

right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

 

 

You understand and agree that, because damages are often difficult to quantify,

if it becomes necessary for The Greensheet to pursue legal action to enforce these

Terms, you will be liable to pay The Greensheet’s actual damages, to the extent such

actual damages can be reasonably calculated. Notwithstanding any other

provision of these Terms, The Greensheet retains the right to seek the remedy

of specific performance of any term contained in these Terms, or a preliminary

or permanent injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the

exercise of any power granted in these Terms, or any combination thereof.
