Website Terms & Conditions

In preparation of this website, including without limitation every page accessible throughout, every effort has been made to offer the most current, accurate, and clearly expressed information possible. Nevertheless, inadvertent errors in information may occur. In particular but without limiting anything here, Zinerva disclaims any responsibility for typographical errors and inaccuracy of the information that may be contained on the Zinerva website. The information and data included on the Zinerva website have been compiled by Zinerva staff from a variety of sources, and are subject to change without notice to the User. Zinerva makes no warranties or representations whatsoever regarding the quality, content, completeness, suitability, adequacy, sequence, accuracy, or timeliness of such information and data.

In any situation where the official printed publications of Zinerva differ from the text contained in this system, the official printed documents shall take precedence. The services, information, and data made available at the Zinerva website are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. Zinerva makes no representations or warranties regarding the condition or functionality of this website, its suitability for use, or that this website, including all content will be uninterrupted or error-free.

If misleading, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate information is brought to our attention, a reasonable effort will be made to fix or remove it.

By using the Zinerva website, the User assumes all risks associated with the use of this website, including any risk to User’s computer, software or data being damaged by any virus, software, or any other file which might be transmitted or activated via the Zinerva website or User’s access to it. Zinerva shall not in any event be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, special, incidental, or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost revenues, or lost profits, arising out of or in any way connected with the use or misuse of the information or lack of information on the Zinerva website or with the delay or inability to use this website, or from any information, documents, services, software, or other material obtained through this website, or otherwise arising out of the use of this website, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise, even if Zinerva and/or any of its employees or agents has been advised of the possibility of damages. Zinerva shall not be liable for any loss or injury caused in whole, or in part, by its actions, omissions, or contingencies beyond its control, including in procuring, compiling, or delivering the information, or arising out of any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information regardless of how caused, or arising out of any user’s decision, or action taken or not taken in reliance upon information furnished.

User acknowledges that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between the User and Zinerva as a result of this Agreement or use of this website. User agrees not to hold himself or herself out as a representative, agent, or employee of Zinerva and Zinerva shall not be liable for any representation, act or omission of the User.

Reference herein to any specific commercial products, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not necessarily constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by Zinerva. The views and opinions of authors expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect those of Zinerva, and shall not be used for advertising or product endorsement purposes.

Information provided exclusively to Zinerva by a user through this website may be subject to Delaware’s public records law and other state and federal laws governing records disclosure or confidentiality. By way of example, and not as a limitation, Zinerva will, whenever possible, endeavor to keep personal information about a User confidential if public disclosure would lead to an unreasonable invasion of privacy, unless a third party sufficiently demonstrates that the public interest requires disclosure under particular circumstances. However, this effort will be subject to the provisions of Delaware’s public records law.

To the extent that this website contains or may in the future contain bulletin boards, discussion webs, or other message, interactive or communication facilities involving Zinerva and other users (“Forums”), the User agrees to use such forums only to send and receive messages and material that are proper and related to the particular forum. By way of example, and not as a limitation, the User agrees that when using a Forum, the User shall not violate the law by:

1. Defaming, abusing, harassing, stalking, threatening or otherwise violating the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others.

2. Publishing, posting, distributing, or disseminating any defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent, abusive or unlawful material or information.

3. Uploading or downloading files that contain software or other material protected by intellectual property laws (or by rights of privacy or publicity) unless the User owns or controls the rights thereto or has received all necessary consents.

4. Knowingly introducing viruses, corrupted files or any other similar software or programs that may damage, alter or destroy this website or the operation of another’s computer system, network, software, program, documentation or data contained therein.

5. Knowingly accessing or attempting to access or use Zinerva’s computer system, computer network, or any part thereof, including this website, for the purpose of devising or executing any scheme or artifice to defraud; obtaining money property or services by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises; or committing theft, including but not limited to theft of proprietary information.

User agrees to (as available) send and receive electronic mail, engage in conferences and chats, download and upload files, and otherwise use this website only as permitted by these terms and conditions, any additional policies or procedures published in this website from time to time by Zinerva, and applicable law.

Zinerva reserves the right to remove any contents of this website received from users for violations of Zinerva forum use policies and other applicable regulations and law, including violations of others’ constitutional rights. Zinerva reserves the right to edit any notices or postings for length if and when such length interferes with other users’ access to and use of this forum.

The User acknowledges that chats, conferences, bulletin boards, discussion webs and any other such interactive or communications’ forums hosted by this website are public and not private communications. Further, the User acknowledges that chats, posting conferences, discussion webs and other communications by other Users are not endorsed by Zinerva, and such communications shall not be considered reviewed, screened, or approved by Zinerva.

As a condition of use of Zinerva’s website, the User agrees to indemnify Zinerva, its officers, employees and agents against any and all liability, expenses (including attorney’s fees) and damages arising out of claims resulting from User’s use of this website, including without limitation any claims alleging facts that if true would constitute a breach by User of these terms and conditions.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. User consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Circuit Court of the State of Delaware for Dover County, and the Federal District Court for the District of Delaware, USA in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of this website. Use of this website is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions, including without limitation this paragraph.

Zinerva’s performance of this Agreement is subject to existing laws and legal process and nothing contained in this Agreement is in derogation of Zinerva’s right to comply with law enforcement requests or requirements relating to the User’s use of this website or information provided to or gathered by Zinerva with respect to such use.

If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitation set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. If and to the extent such invalid provision cannot be superseded by a valid, enforceable provision, then it shall be stricken from the Agreement and the remaining provisions shall nonetheless remain valid and enforceable.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the User and Zinerva with respect to this website and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the User and Zinerva with respect to this website. This Agreement shall be deemed to include all other notices, policies, disclaimers and other terms contained in this website; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between such other terms and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

Opinions expressed using social applications and other social solutions that Zinerva has implemented, except as specifically noted, are those of the individual authors. Views presented in these forums do not necessarily represent the views or policies of, or endorsement by, Zinerva.
