Terms of Service

Introduction
Welcome to jab’s Love Letters – a project initiated by jab’s plethora, LLC.
Love Letters is designed to challenge the online community to face their love by taking the time to write down their thoughts and feelings as “love letters” and is inspired by the book: Love Letters, Volume 1: Moving On, Growing Up written by J. A. Busfield. We have endeavored to create a platform where members of the community can submit their declarations of love and appreciation by means of (a) love letters, (b) love letter pictures and/or (c) love letter videos; and share them with the rest of the online community; and where community members can comment on posted submissions.

The site is all about sharing love and appreciation with the community. We prefer to keep things informal, but we also understand that terms of service is necessary to promote a safe environment for everyone involved. Please review the information provided and keep it in mind when you are engaging with the site.

We’ll do our best to be as plain spoken as possible, but there’s a lot to cover. And there may be some areas that overlap; it’s a complicated dance.

Effective Date
November 3, 2011

Stripping it down to the brass tacks…
Browsing our site, submitting any content, and/or donating to us indicates that you accept the Agreement and all the nitty-gritty terms. If you don’t, then don’t use the website. Certainly not trying to be mean. Just speaking the truth in love.

The Agreement
This Terms of Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a clear understanding between you and jab’s Love Letters. It governs your use of the www.jabsloveletters.com website (the “Website”) and all associated services and transactions between you and jab’s Love Letters (the “Services”). By using the website, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, whether or not you become a participant and/or donor of jab’s Love Letters.

jab’s Love Letters may change the Agreement from time to time, at our sole discretion. Your continued use of this website following the posting of such changes will constitute your assent to all such changes. Please periodically visit this section of the site to review the current version of the Agreement. This provision to the Agreement is included, because this new endeavor may evolve as the community becomes more and more involved with submissions. If your are unhappy and disagree with the changes that may occur, you may choose to not use the site any longer.

Definition: For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Content” includes, without limitation, any community member submissions, video, audio clips, written comments, information, data, text, photographs, software, scripts, graphics, and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible by jab’s Love Letters or its partners on or through the Website and associated Service.

Legal Notice for Submission
All submissions to the website (love letters and pictures) or via email (video files) are under the Legal Notice that is posted on the Website, as often as we deemed appropriate (which was a lot, we didn’t want you to miss it). Please review it again here:

By submitting information to jab’s Love Letters, you grant jab’s Love Letters a perpetual, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and otherwise exercise all copyright and publicity rights with respect to that information at its sole discretion, including storing it on jab’s Love Letters servers and incorporating it in other works in any media now known or later developed including without limitation published books.

If you do not wish to grant jab’s Love Letters these rights, it is suggested that you do not submit information to this website. jab’s Love Letters reserves the right to select, edit and arrange submissions, and to remove information from the jab’s Love Letters website at any time at its sole discretion. No content or images from this site may be used for any purpose without expressed written authorization, with one exception: you may post information as links back to the Website.

If you aren’t comfortable with the freedom you’d be allowing jab’s Love Letters to use your material, the best option would be to not submit anything.

Community Participation
jab’s Love Letters assumes no obligation to monitor the conduct of any community member (user of the Website). But please note, that it is a violation of this Agreement to use any information obtained from the Website in order to harass, abuse, or harm another person.

Comments
jab’s Love Letters welcomes user comments on our stories and posts. Our mission is to engage the community in discussions of Love and Appreciation that will challenge us towards more positive vibes in our every day lives. We intend for comment sections to be used as a place for civil (loving, even), thought-provoking and high-quality public discussion. jab’s Love Letters reserves the right to remove posting that include the use of foul language, personal attacks or the use of language that may be hateful or suggestive of sexual harassment; however, we are under no obligation to do so. All of this, of course, is a fine line. Love often brings to mind passion, so there may be tasteful adult content available on the site. You agree to accept that. User comments may be reviewed by moderators and may be included or excluded at our discretion.

Creation Content

There’s Not Much to Sue, So Why Would You? (Disclaimer of Warranty)
Have we mentioned that this is a project initiative to spread Love and Appreciation?!
That kind of message doesn’t come with a pot of gold (just being honest).

The Service is available “as is.” We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. There may be delays, omissions, interruptions and inaccuracies in the information and/or content available through the Service. We are not responsible of the availability or content of other services (Third Parties) that may be linked to the Service. Which means, that there will be external links that will redirect you away from the Website (advertisements; links to blogs, social network profiles, online articles of all kinds, etc…) and we can’t (and won’t) take responsibility for what you may encounter by clicking on said links (viruses, worms, features of destruction). You do so at your own risk. We can’t verify that all the information you will encounter on the site is accurate. We reserve the right to correct as many errors and omissions in the Service, but are under no obligation to do so.

Jurisdictional Issues
Know the rules of where you are! This Website is controlled and operated by jab’s Love Letters, an initiative of jab’s plethora, LLC, from its offices within the state of North Carolina, in the United States of America. We make no representations that materials within the Website are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access the Website from other locations do so on their on initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Access to this Website from jurisdictions where the contents of the Website are illegal or penalized is prohibited.

(May all that’s good in the word keep us from an existence where Love and Appreciation could ever be considered illegal.)

Disputes with jab’s Love Letters
If there is any dispute about or involving jab’s Love Letters, the Website or partaking in the Service in any way, you agree that we will first try to resolve any Claim informally. Accordingly, neither of us may start a formal proceeding for at least 30 days after one if us notifies the other of a Claim in writing. And, if you do have a problem, you agree to let us know via email info@jabsloveletters.com, so that we can try to set things straight with you.

Formal resolutions of any dispute will be governed by the laws of Alamance County, North Carolina without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Life Changes
Again, as we said before, things may evolve and we may need to make some changes. jab’s Love Letters reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service without any notice at any time and without any liability to you.

But closing up shop would be a bummer, because we could all use a little extra Love and Appreciation in our lives. Hopefully, this project will continue forward for a long time to come.

Get In Touch
We’d love to hear from you! We welcome feedback or inquiries about our Service.

However, if you elect to provide any feedback or comments of any nature to us, all of such feedback and comments shall be our sole and exclusive property and we will have the right to use such feedback in any manner and for any purpose at our discretion without remuneration, compensation or attributes to you, provided that we are under no obligation to use such feedback.

Let’s be honest, we are all about giving credit where credit is due (you can see that for yourself on the Website), but this little bit just means that are under no obligation to do so. That levels any expectations you may have, hopefully.
