USI Terms of Service (TOS)
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Welcome to USI. USI provides its service to you, subject to the
following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by
us from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current
version of the TOS at any time at: http://www.nomb.com/jterms.html.
In addition, when using particular USI services, you and USI shall
be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services
which may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are
hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
USI currently provides users with access to a rich collection of navigation
and directory resources, and personalized content through the site (the
"Service"). You also understand and agree that the Service may
include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for
USI to provide the Service. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any
new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the
release of new USI services, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand
and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that USI
assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or
failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.
You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service and that access
may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime
charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated
with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must
provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the
Service.
Please be aware that certain areas on the Service
may contain adult or mature content. You must be at least 18 years of
age to access and view such areas. USI has the right to limit your
access to certain areas if USI is aware or suspects you are not at
least 18 years of age.
3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide
true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted
by the Service's registration form (such information being the "Registration
Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data
to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information
that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or USI has reasonable
grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current
or incomplete, USI has the right to suspend or terminate your account
and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion
thereof). USI is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its
users, particularly children. For this reason, USI does not allow the
creation of accounts by children under the age of 13. If you are the parent
or guardian of a child of any age, it is your responsibility to determine
whether any of the Services and/or Content (as defined in this TOS) are
appropriate for your child.
4. USI PRIVACY POLICY
Registration Data and certain other information about you is subject to
our Privacy Policy. For more information, see our full privacy policy
at https://www.nomb.com/privacy.html.
5. MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
You will define or receive a password and account designation upon completing
the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining
the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible
for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree
to (a) immediately notify USI of any unauthorized use of your password
or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit
from your account at the end of each session. USI cannot and will not
be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with
this Section 5.
6. MEMBER CONDUCT
You understand that all information, data, text or other materials ("Content"),
whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility
of the person from which such Content originated. This means that you,
and not USI, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload,
post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service. Jabils
does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does
not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You
understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that
is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will Jabils
be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, for
any errors or omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any
kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted
or otherwise made available via the Service.
You agree to not use the Service to:
a. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content
that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious,
defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy,
hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
b. harm minors in any way;
c. impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a
Jabils official, forum leader, guide or host, or falsely state or otherwise
misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
d. forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise
the origin of any Content transmitted through the Service;
e. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content
that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under
contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary
and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment
relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);
f. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content
that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other
proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party;

or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, or any other form
of solicitation, except in those areas (such as Ring Promotions) that

h. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material
that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs
designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer
software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;
j. interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected
to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations
of networks connected to the Service;
k. intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state,
national or international law.
l. "stalk" or otherwise harass another; or
m. collect or store personal data about other users.
n. provide links to or promote competing ring services without prior permission.
You acknowledge that USI does not pre-screen Content, but that USI
and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their
sole discretion to refuse or move any Content that is available via the
Service. Without limiting the foregoing, USI and its designees shall
have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise
objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated
with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy,
completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge
that you may not rely on any Content created by USI or submitted to
USI, including without limitation information in USI Message Boards,
Ring Community Centers, and in all other parts of the Service.
You acknowledge and agree that USI may preserve Content and may also
disclose Content if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply
with legal process; (b) enforce the TOS; (c) respond to claims that any
Content violates the rights of third-parties; or (d) protect the rights,
property, or personal safety of USI, its users and the public.
You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service,
including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks;
and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting
networks or devices.
7. SPECIAL ADMONITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL USE
Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with
all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Specifically,
you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission
of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which
you reside.
8. CONTENT SUBMITTED OR MADE AVAILABLE FOR INCLUSION ON THE SERVICE
Jabils does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available
for inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you submit
or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service,
you grant Jabils the following world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive
license(s), as applicable:
With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on
publicly accessible areas of USI, the license to use, distribute, reproduce,
modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the
Service solely for the purposes of providing and promoting the specific
USI Ring to which such Content was submitted or made available. This
license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such
Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or USI
removes such Content from the Service.
"Publicly accessible" areas of the Service are those areas
of USI that are intended by Jabils to be available to the general public.
9. INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify and hold USI, and its subsidiaries, affiliates,
officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless
from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by
any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit
or make available through the Service, your use of the Service, your connection
to the Service, your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights
of another.
10. NO RESALE OF SERVICE
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit for
any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service, use of the Service,
or access to the Service without the express written permission of USI.
11. GENERAL PRACTICES REGARDING USE AND STORAGE
You acknowledge that USI may establish general practices and limits

may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, the maximum
size of any email message that may be sent from or received by an account
on the Service, the maximum disk space that will be allotted on Jabils's
servers on your behalf, and the maximum number of times (and the maximum
duration for which) you may access the Service in a given period of time.
You agree that USI has no responsibility or liability for the deletion
or failure to store any messages and other communications or other Content
maintained or transmitted by the Service. You acknowledge that Jabils
reserves the right to log off accounts that are inactive for an extended
period of time. You further acknowledge that Jabils reserves the right
to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole
discretion, with or without notice.
12. MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE
USI reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify
or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof)
with or without notice. You agree that USI shall not be liable to you
or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance
of the Service.
13. TERMINATION
You agree that USI, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password,
account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service, and remove and discard
any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation,
for lack of use or if USI believes that you have violated or acted
inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS. In the special situation
where termination affects Ring Management, USI has the right to take
over management of Ring(s) found to violate the TOS in letter or spirit.
USI may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing
the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that
any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this
TOS may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that
USI may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related
information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to
such files or the Service. Further, you agree that USI shall not be
liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to
the Service. Any Services provided in which USI contracts for outside
services on behalf of a Service user, those agreements must be paid in
full upon termination of Service. No pro-rating shall apply. The
only exception is if client would move to a new facility where USI is
unable to provide service. In that case pro-rating may apply.
14. DEALINGS WITH ADVERTISERS
Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions
of, advertisers found on or through the Service, including payment and
delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions,
warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely
between you and such advertiser. You agree that USI shall not be responsible
or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of
any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers
on the Service.
15. LINKS
The Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other
World Wide Web sites or resources. Because USI has no control over

advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites

be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss
caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance
on any such Content, goods or services available on or through any such
site or resource.

23. GENERAL INFORMATION
The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and USI and govern

that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content or
third-party software. The TOS and the relationship between you and USI
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon without regard to
its conflict of law provisions. You and USI agree to submit to the
personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county

or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or
provision. If any provision of the TOS 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 TOS 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

of action arose or be forever barred.

or contractual effect.
