1.         DESCRIPTION AND USE OF SERVICES

Through access of our Platform and Services, BlacklistedOnline helps contributing business owners to network together and expose known Cyberbullies and Slanderous reviewers – which enables them to make smarter business decisions for the purpose of protecting themselves, their families, and their businesses against these abusers.

We provide Visitors and Registered Users/Members with access to the Services as described in this Agreement.

Visitors.  Visitors, as the term implies, are people who don’t register with us, but want to browse our Website and see what the Services are all about.  No login is required for Visitors.  Visitors can: (a) view all publicly-available content; (b) access and/or submit content to certain third-party applications (for example, social media sharing) (the “Third-Party Applications”); (c) contact us for customer support via e-mail; (d) register to create an account to access and contribute to Posts where applicable. Visitors are not able to: (a) view Posts made by members without a direct link; or (b) comment on any Post without being Logged In.

Registered Users (“Contributors” or “Members”).  Login is required for all Registered Users, who can do all the things that Visitors can do, and: (a) submit Posts detailing their experiences with Cyberbullies & Slanderous online users; (b) comment on other Member’s Posts; (c) submit testimonials and reviews of their experience in using the Services; (d) edit and update Posts they’ve submitted; (e) edit their profiles; (f) join group discussions; and (g) see other Member’s Activity.

By using the Company’s Services, Users certify that all information they submit is factual and lawful; and it is understood that it is the sole responsibility of the User to present themselves honestly and without misrepresentation; BlacklistedOnline, and its administrators, affiliates, owners, employees, associates, and heirs (collectively, “We” and “Our”), are not responsible for any User misconduct, unlawful submissions, or misrepresentation, known or unknown.

It is understood that in using the Company’s Services BlacklistedOnline is under no obligation to accept any individual or organization as a Registered User, and may accept or reject any registration in its sole and complete discretion.  In addition, BlacklistedOnline may deactivate any account, Post, project, membership, or subscription, at any time and for any reason, with or without prior notice to the User, including, without limitation, if it determines that a Registered User has violated this Agreement.

Use of Third Party Applications. Use of Third Party Applications including, but not limited to, any brand of social media, and/or any other non-Company affiliated brand, network, or service, is at the sole discretion of the User and relieves BlacklistedOnline, and its administrators, affiliates, owners, employees, associates, and heirs, of any responsibility associated with their use.

Contributed “Posts”: The Posts submitted by Users and featured on the Platform are screened and verified to the best of our ability to be made by reputable business owners and organizations to which have a legitimate complaint regarding an online user. However, we cannot guarantee the full authenticity of these individuals or organizations as being reputable or classified as a business as defined by law and we are not liable for any misrepresentation or misinformation submitted by these Users, or the misappropriation or peculation of funds before, during, or after they are contributed/submitted/transferred through use of BlacklistedOnline’s Services or Platform. It is the sole responsibility of all Users to verify the authenticity of the other Members they are in communication with, and networking with. It is the sole responsibility of the Users to not only verify the Users they network with, but also to report to BlacklistedOnline any suspected misuse or misinformation found on the Platform or within the Services by way of our Contact page.

THE SERVICES ARE A PLATFORM; WE ARE NOT ADVISORS, A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, CREDITOR, BROKER, OR CHARITABLE INSTITUTION: The Services are an administrative platform only. BlacklistedOnline facilitates only a Platform for which Users can communicate and network together, and is not a party to any discussion or agreement between Users. BlacklistedOnline is not a broker, advisor, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any User. BlacklistedOnline has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by, a User/business/organization, and BlacklistedOnline hereby disclaims all liability in this regard to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

BlacklistedOnline does not guarantee that use of the Services or Platform will deter current or future cyberbullying or slander by any online user, nor that a fellow User is not in fact an online user that they are looking to Blacklist. We do not personally endorse any Post, User, business or organization, and we make no guarantee, explicit or implied, that any information provided through the Services by a User is accurate or has been verified. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the content of any Post or the conduct of any User, or the outcome of any communications/networking conducted between Users. You, as a User, must make the final determination as to the accuracy of any Post, User claims, or communications; and conduct all transactions with other Users responsibly.

We do not, and cannot, verify all the information that Users supply, nor do we guarantee that the information given will provide anyone with their desired results. We assume no responsibility to verify whether User Posts are true or lawful; such responsibility rests solely with the Users, as applicable. While we have no obligation to verify that the use of any information or the content of Posts are in accordance with applicable law and these Terms & Conditions, we do take possible fraudulent activity and the slandering of other Users very seriously. You can learn more about our Protection Policy within our Policies section. If you have reason to believe that a User is falsifying information, or is slandering another User, please email us through our Contact page to alert our team of this potential issue and we will investigate.

You, as a User, represent, warrant, and covenant that (i) all information you provide in connection with a Post is accurate, complete, and not otherwise designed to mislead, defraud, or deceive any User or Visitor; (ii) all images included in your Posts & communications will be used solely as evidence and thoroughly described in the materials that you Post; (iii) you will comply with your jurisdiction’s applicable laws and regulations when you use our Services & Platform, particularly, but not limited to, laws relating to your marketing and solicitation of your Posts or communications; and (iv) to the extent you share with us any Personal Data of any Third Party for any purpose, including the names, email addresses and phone numbers of your personal contacts, you have the authority (including any necessary consents), as required under applicable law, to provide us with such Personal Data and allow us to use such Personal Data for the purposes for which you shared it with us.
