Terms
of Use, Disclaimers, and Privacy Policy
Does anybody ever read these things?
Mostly not. And mostly because people find "Terms of Use"
sections written in a language only an Ivy League lawyer could
understand.
Well, here at the ShopOnLineBoston.com ranch, we think it's time to
change all that. We actually want you to read our Terms of Use.
Not only that, we actually want you to understand what it is
you're reading! How about that?
So, we've tried our utmost to communicate these Terms in a language
you were taught at school and that your grandpa used to speak.
From time to time we may slip into legal jargon, a phrase or
two that our lawyers insist we use. If this should cause any
anxiety, palpitations, trepidation and unwillingness to go further,
then we completely understand. We urge you, though, to continue
if you can, because this website is rich with information and
the means to help you find what you're looking for.
And we know you'll be happy with that.
Before you read any further…
This Website is provided by www.ShopOnLineBoston.com,
Inc. (ShopOnLineBoston.com),
a Massachusetts corporation offering businesses advertising
availability on the Internet. (Hopefully yours!) If you use
the ShopOnLineBoston.com Website, we take that as your acceptance
and agreement with these Terms of Use, which may change from
time to time.
Use of Content
We use a diverse range of information, text, photographs,
designs, graphics, images, sound and video recordings, animation
and other materials and effects on the ShopOnLineBoston.com website.
All of these are protected by copyrights, trademarks, service
marks, trade dress (?) or other intellectual or proprietary
rights owned by ShopOnLineBoston.com or other third parties.
In fact, all trademarks and copyrighted information contained
on the Website are the property of their respective owners.
We happily provide the information, content or advertisements
(which we collectively call the "Materials") on
the ShopOnLineBoston.com site for your review. This can be for either
individual or internal business purposes. Any other use of
the ShopOnLineBoston.com Website, or the Materials, is strictly prohibited,
including, without limitation, modification, republication,
deletion, transmission, public performance, distribution,
proxy caching, uploading, posting, reproduction, redistribution
or any other dissemination, without the express written permission
of ShopOnLineBoston.com or the applicable rights holder.
"You may not!": The Materials on the ShopOnLineBoston.com
site may not be used by third parties for telemarketing, direct
marketing, commercial mass email or by agents or representatives
or email spammers, who, in our copywriter's humble (and personal!)
opinion, are the cyber-idiots of the universe!
Remember, the fact that you have been permitted to use the
ShopOnLineBoston.com Website does not give you permission to use the
Website or Materials for any illegal purpose. Nor for that
matter may you transmit to (or through) the ShopOnLineBoston.com Website
or to (or through) any Service any illegal, harmful, threatening,
defamatory, obscene, hateful, pornographic or other objectionable
material of any kind, or to interfere with, abuse or otherwise
violate the legal rights of any third party using the ShopOnLineBoston.com
Website or Materials.
Disclaimers and Limitation of
Liability
Or, in understandable English: Hey! Read the fine print!
At ShopOnLineBoston.com we make every possible effort to ensure the
information presented in, on or through its Website, is accurate.
However, because ShopOnLineBoston.com also communicates information
provided and created by advertisers, software developers,
publishers, marketing agents, resellers and other third parties,
ShopOnLineBoston.com unfortunately has no control over the accuracy
of such information. We're sure you'll understand that we
can make no guarantees, nor be responsible for any such information,
including its accuracy, currency, content, quality, copyright
compliance or legality, or any resulting loss or damage.
It's not that we're lazy or won't do it, but it's really not
our responsibility to make any representations concerning
any endeavor to review the content of sites listed in any
of the Materials. Yellow Alert! Another legal heavy: Nor do
we investigate, represent or endorse the accuracy, legality,
legitimacy, validity or reliability of any deals, coupons
or other promotions ("Promotions") or Materials
contained on, distributed through, or linked, downloaded or
accessed from any of the services contained on this website
(the "Service"). Nor the quality of any product
or service, information or other materials displayed, purchased,
or obtained by you as a result of an advertisement or any
other information or offer in or in connection with the Service
(the "Products").
Are you getting all of this? You are? Bravo! Then here's some
more for you to enjoy:
Nor does ShopOnLineBoston.com assume the responsibility of enforcing
licensing requirements with respect to licensed professions
or trades prior to publishing Materials.
All of the data on Products and Promotions including but not
limited to, the prices and the availability of any product
or service or any feature thereof, is subject to change without
notice by the party providing the Product or Promotion. Which
is why we at ShopOnLineBoston.com encourage you to use discretion
while browsing the Internet using the ShopOnLineBoston.com services
- and always remember - read the fine print associated with
any Promotions found on our Website and throughout the Internet.
Also remember that ShopOnLineBoston.com reserves the right, in its
sole discretion and without any obligation, to make improvements
to, or correct any error or omissions in, any portion of the
Service or the Materials. Simply put, we can make changes
to our website without having to notify you first (or get
your permission), which is fair. Where appropriate, we will
endeavor to update information listed on the Website on a
timely basis, but shall not be liable for any inaccuracies.
Of course not!
Also, ShopOnLineBoston.com does not make any representations regarding
the availability and performance of its website. This is the
nature of the Internet…it's far from perfect, but we're
getting there! So, we'd like you to acknowledge that any use
of the ShopOnLineBoston.com Website, reliance upon any Materials and
any use of the Internet generally shall be at your sole risk
- and that ShopOnLineBoston.com shall not be liable for any loss of
data, lost profits or any other damages or losses resulting
from such use. Again, that's very fair.

Say "I do" here.
Oh and one more thing…Some states do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability of consequential
or incidental damages, so the above exclusions may not apply
to all users; in such states liability is limited to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
