Terms of Service

Please read the following terms carefully before using IdleHearts

Accepting the Terms

The purpose of this website, idlehearts.com (the “Site”), is to provide web publishing services. Please read these terms of service (“Agreement”) carefully before using the Site or any services provided on the Site (collectively, “Services”). By using or accessing the Services, you agree to become bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not use the Services. The Services are accessed by You (“Subscriber” or “You”) under the following terms and conditions:

1) Access to the Services

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, IdleHearts may offer to provide the Services, as described more fully on the Site, and which are selected by Subscriber, solely for Subscriber’s own use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party. Services shall include, but not be limited to, any services IdleHearts performs for Subscriber, as well as the offering of any Content (as defined below) on the Site. IdleHearts may change, suspend or discontinue the Services at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or Content. IdleHearts may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict Subscriber’s access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability.

Subscriber certifies to IdleHearts that if Subscriber is an individual (i.e., not a corporate entity), Subscriber is at least 13 years of age. No one under the age of 13 may provide any personal information to or on IdleHearts (including, for example, a name, address, telephone number or email address). Subscriber also certifies that it is legally permitted to use the Services and access the Site, and takes full responsibility for the selection and use of the Services and access of the Site. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Site is revoked in such jurisdictions. IdleHearts makes no claim that the Site may be lawfully viewed or that Content may be downloaded. Access to the Content may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If You access the Site from such locations, You do so at Your own risk and You are responsible for compliance with the laws of Your jurisdiction.

IdleHearts will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Site and Services are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. However, there will be occasions when the Site and/or Services will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and repairs or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment. Every reasonable step will be taken by IdleHearts to minimize such disruption where it is within IdleHearts reasonable control.

You agree that neither IdleHearts nor the Site will be liable in any event to you or any other party for any suspension, modification, discontinuance or lack of availability of the Site, the service, your Subscriber Content or other Content.

IdleHearts retains the right to create limits on use and storage in its sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

Subscriber shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to, access the Site or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, software, and long distance or local telephone service. Subscriber shall be responsible for ensuring that such equipment or ancillary services are compatible with the Services.

Users of the Site may gain access from the Site to third party sites on the Internet through hypertext or other computer links on the Site. Third party sites are not within the supervision or control of IdleHearts or the Site.

As a condition to using Services, Subscriber will be required to register with IdleHearts and select a password and IdleHearts URL. Subscriber shall provide IdleHearts with accurate, complete, and updated registration information, including Subscriber’s e-mail address. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Agreement, which may result in immediate termination of Subscriber’s account. Subscriber may not (a) select or use as a IdleHearts URL a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; or (b) use as a IdleHearts URL a name subject to any rights of a person other than Subscriber without appropriate authorization. IdleHearts reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel a IdleHearts URL in its discretion. Subscriber shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Subscriber’s IdleHearts password. Subscriber is solely responsible for any use of or action taken under Subscriber’s password and accepts full responsibility for all activity conducted through Subscriber’s account and agrees to and hereby releases the Site and IdleHearts from any and all liability concerning such activity. Subscriber agrees to notify IdleHearts immediately of any actual or suspected loss, theft, or unauthorized use of Subscriber’s account or password.

Subscriber will indemnify and hold IdleHearts, its directors, officers and employees, harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of Subscriber’s access to the Site, use of the Services, the violation of this Agreement by Subscriber, or the infringement by Subscriber, or any third party using the Subscriber’s account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.

In no event shall IdleHearts, its directors, officers, shareholders, employees or members be liable with respect to the Site or the Services for (a) any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever; (b) damages for loss of use, profits, data, images, Subscriber Content or other intangibles; (c) damages for unauthorized use, non-performance of the Site, errors or omissions; or (d) damages related to downloading or posting Content. IdleHearts and the Site’s collective liability under this agreement shall be limited to hundred U.S. Dollars. Some places do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to Subscriber.

11) Termination

Either party may terminate the Services at any time by notifying the other party by any means. IdleHearts may also terminate or suspend any and all Services and access to the Site immediately, without prior notice or liability, if Subscriber breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Upon termination of Subscriber’s account, Subscriber’s right to use the Services, access the Site, and any Content will immediately cease. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability. Termination of Your access to and use of the Site and the Services shall not relieve Subscriber of any obligations arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability which Subscriber otherwise may have to IdleHearts or the Site, including without limitation any indemnification obligations contained herein.

12) Privacy

The IdleHearts Privacy Policy can be found at our Privacy Policy. The policy sets forth the standards for the way we handle your personal information.

13) Miscellaneous

This Agreement (including the Privacy Policy), as modified from time to time, constitutes the entire agreement between You, the Site and IdleHearts with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding the subject matter hereof. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. IdleHearts shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond IdleHearts’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Subscriber except with IdleHearts’s prior written consent. IdleHearts may assign this Agreement in whole or in part at any time without Subscriber’s consent. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Subscriber does not have any authority of any kind to bind IdleHearts in any respect whatsoever.

14) Modification of Terms of Service

IdleHearts reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify these Terms of Service at any time by posting revised Terms of Service on the Site and by providing notice via e-mail, where possible, or on the Site. Subscriber shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Use of the Services by Subscriber following such modification constitutes Subscriber’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as modified.

15) Copyright Policy

IdleHearts respects the intellectual property of others. If You believe that content residing or accessible on the Site infringes a copyright or trademark, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to us.

Identification of the work or material being infringed.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including its location, with sufficient detail so that IdleHearts is capable of finding and verifying its existence.
Contact information about the notifying party (the Notifying Party), including name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.

After receiving notification of an alleged infringement that meets all of the requirements above, IdleHearts shall:

Disable access to or remove material that it has a reasonable, good faith belief is copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any subscriber to the Site.
IdleHearts will then immediately notify the subscriber responsible for the allegedly infringing material (the Offending Subscriber) that it has removed or disabled access to the material.
IdleHearts reserves the right, at its discretion, to immediately terminate the account of any subscriber who is the subject of repeated takedown notices.

On the other hand, a subscriber who believes they are the wrongful subject of a copyright takedown notice, may file a counter notification with IdleHearts by providing the following items:

The specific URLs of material that IdleHearts has removed or to which IdleHearts has disabled access.
User’s name, address, telephone number, and email address.
The following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
User’s signature.

Upon receipt of a counterclaim, IdleHearts will forward it to the party who submitted the original copyright infringement claim. The original complainant will then have 10 days to notify us that he or she has filed legal action relating to the allegedly infringing material. If IdleHearts does not receive any such notification within 10 days, we may restore the material to the Site.
