  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.

Small Print in Big Print

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.
