Terms and Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. GENERAL CONDITIONS

1.1 Premises

ThePostimes.com is updated without any set periodicity, only when content becomes available. Therefore, it cannot be considered an editorial product.

All collaborations are considered voluntary and unpaid.

The owner of ThePostimes.com (referred to as “the owner” in this agreement) provides users and internet visitors with the website www.ThePostimes.com (hereinafter referred to as the “website”) as a cultural information platform where anyone can share their point of view. Lively debate between different thoughts is welcomed as a source of personal growth and enrichment.

Accessing and browsing www.ThePostimes.com, as well as using the website, automatically confers the status of “user” to the visitor. Thus, all individuals who browse the website or use the services on ThePostimes.com, as well as individuals or entities utilizing it for their professional activities in relation to the services offered by the owner of ThePostimes.com, are considered “users.”

Among the “users,” those who voluntarily contribute by sharing experiences, writing, and publishing content (such as audio, images, texts, and videos) or works (of any nature or genre, e.g., literary, philosophical, musical, and theatrical works) on the website are considered “author users” or simply “authors” (e.g., bloggers, writers, photographers). Authors are hosted on ThePostimes.com to promote the website as a participatory cultural meeting place. This participation is always voluntary and unpaid and does not create any binding agreement between the owner, ThePostimes.com, and the author.

An author may be provided with a personal account, which they can manage independently. By publishing (or authorizing the publication of) their content or work (of any nature or genre) on ThePostimes.com, the author grants the owner and ThePostimes.com full rights to use the respective content or work. Authors agree that all content they publish on ThePostimes.com or any material they create on or for ThePostimes.com cannot be removed unless decided solely by the owner and/or ThePostimes.com.

Should content be removed upon an author’s request (subject to the owner’s approval) or due to third-party reasons, or for any reason attributable to the author, it is acknowledged that this removal causes significant harm to the owner and ThePostimes.com. Therefore, the author agrees to compensate the owner and/or ThePostimes.com with a minimum fee of $250 (two hundred fifty dollars) per removed content.

Even if the author has not directly uploaded their content but has requested others to do so, the above conditions still apply. Each author agrees not to upload content that infringes on any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, privacy right, publicity right, property right, or any existing law or regulation.

The author guarantees full ownership (including copyright) of the published content and the authority to grant the necessary rights for publication. Authors acknowledge that they alone are responsible for the content and information they submit, publish, or upload to the website, ensuring beforehand that such content does not violate any law or third-party rights.

The author acknowledges and accepts that the owner and ThePostimes.com cannot be held liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental damages arising from content provided by the author. The author remains solely responsible for the content and information proposed and/or published on the website, even if uploaded by the owner or another individual as part of an agreed procedure.

Within the “users” category, “guest users” or simply “guests” are those who are hosted for free by sharing content (e.g., press releases, bulletins, event announcements, personal or third-party statements) on the website.

When a guest requests publication and is accepted, they grant the owner and ThePostimes.com full rights to use the respective content or work. Guests acknowledge that content published on ThePostimes.com or created for or on behalf of ThePostimes.com cannot be removed unless solely decided by the owner and/or ThePostimes.com.

If content is removed due to reconsideration, at the guest’s request (subject to the owner’s approval), or for third-party reasons, guests accept that such removal causes damage to the owner and ThePostimes.com. Thus, they agree to compensate the owner and/or ThePostimes.com with a minimum fee of €250 per removed content.

Even if the guest has not directly submitted or uploaded content but has requested others to do so, the above conditions apply. Guests agree not to upload any content that infringes on third-party rights or laws.

ThePostimes.com also considers “advertiser users” or simply “advertisers” as individuals, companies, organizations, or any other legal entities using the website’s services to promote or describe their business through published content, including contact information and business locations.

All material published on ThePostimes.com (e.g., audio, images, texts, videos, links, and programming codes) is referred to as “content.” The owner reserves the right to delete, move, modify, or reject any user content that conflicts with its policies, third-party intellectual property rights, or is deemed unlawful or inappropriate.

The term “services” refers to the services provided by the owner, ThePostimes.com, or its partners. Some services available through the website may be owned or controlled by third parties.

Access, navigation, and use of the website imply full and unconditional acceptance of these “Terms and Conditions” and the “Personal Data Protection Policy.” Users can access, print, download, and store these terms at any time. These legal terms will always be available on the website under the “Terms and Conditions” page.

The owner reserves the right to modify these “Terms and Conditions” at any time without prior notice. Users acknowledge that continued use of the website and services after modifications implies acceptance of the updated terms. Similarly, the owner reserves the right to update, remove, integrate, discontinue, or modify the website’s layout, structure, services, and applications at any time without prior notice.

Furthermore, the owner may deny website access to users who violate any of these terms or use the website inappropriately or incorrectly at the owner’s sole discretion.

Users understand and accept that the owner has no obligation to store or maintain any user-provided or published information or content.

1.2. Object

These “Terms and Conditions” govern access to and use of the website, which serves as an online reference point for cultural activities, particularly in the fields of art, cinema, design, innovation, literature, music, lifestyle, and theatre. By providing its online space to users (e.g., authors, guests, and/or advertisers), the owner and ThePostimes.com are in no way responsible for the information and content provided by users and published on the website.

The owner does not conduct any prior or subsequent control over the content received and published by users (or published on their behalf) on ThePostimes.com but reserves the right to take necessary measures to verify a user’s identity and behaviour if there is suspicion of non-compliance with these “Terms and Conditions.” All content published by users is the sole responsibility of the users who publish it (or have it published on their behalf). The owner disclaims any liability and cannot be held responsible for such content in any way.

By browsing the website and/or accessing the services offered, users accept all associated risks, releasing the owner and ThePostimes.com from any liability for any reason or cause. The owner may remove content from the website without prior notice if it violates current laws, infringes or is likely to infringe third-party rights, or is deemed inappropriate, unsuitable, or failing to meet the quality standards set by ThePostimes.com.

Additionally, at its sole discretion, the owner may modify, correct, delete, or implement any part of the content—including audio, images, texts, videos, and any other material—received and/or published by users on ThePostimes.com. Users acknowledge that these modifications, corrections, deletions, and/or implementations aim to serve the purpose of this agreement. They unconditionally accept such changes without requiring approval and waive any claims against the owner and ThePostimes.com for such modifications, whether partial or complete.

The owner is not obligated to refund users (including advertisers) for content that is deleted, corrected, modified, or implemented. Users acknowledge that it is technically impossible to guarantee 100% website availability and release the owner and ThePostimes.com from any liability for any reason or cause. The owner will make every effort to keep the website constantly available, but for technical or security reasons, or due to events beyond the owner’s and ThePostimes.com’s control (e.g., public network outages, blackouts, etc.), temporary or permanent service interruptions may occur.

All users release the owner and ThePostimes.com from any liability for any deletion, interruption, or suspension of services, for any reason or cause. The owner shall not be required to provide any refunds in the event of cancellation, temporary suspension, or permanent suspension of ThePostimes.com services.

1.3. User Obligations and Responsibilities

Users agree to use the website and its accessible services diligently, in full compliance with the law, ethical standards, and these conditions. They also agree to respect other users.

Certain types of users (such as “authors”) may be required to register on the website and create an “account.” When creating an account, users must provide complete and accurate information. Users are solely responsible for any activity that occurs on their accounts, including interactions and communications with other individuals and/or third parties.

If a user creates an account on ThePostimes.com on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, they declare and guarantee that they are authorized to do so and have the authority to bind that entity to this agreement. In such cases, the terms “user” and/or “advertiser” used in this agreement will refer to that entity, and the person acting on its behalf will be defined as the “representative.”

The owner reserves the right to deny registration to users who fail to provide the required documentation, conceal information, or, at the owner’s sole discretion, do not offer sufficient transparency guarantees.

Users who receive an ID, username, and password upon registration agree to use and store such credentials with due diligence. These credentials are personal and non-transferable, and their transfer to third parties, even temporarily, is strictly prohibited. Registered users must take appropriate measures to protect these credentials and prevent unauthorized use by third parties.

Consequently, users are solely responsible for their accounts, credentials, and chosen passwords, releasing the owner and ThePostimes.com from any responsibility. If a user becomes aware of or suspects unauthorized use of their credentials or password by third parties, they must immediately inform the owner and ThePostimes.com.

All information provided by users to access the website and/or obtain services from the owner and/or ThePostimes.com must be truthful and complete. Users guarantee the authenticity of all data communicated to the owner and/or ThePostimes.com and/or through ThePostimes.com, as well as those necessary for registration and/or service subscription.

Users agree to submit texts in English that are grammatically correct and relevant to the proposed content, as well as to provide images and videos that meet the quality standards specified by the owner and ThePostimes.com for service execution.

Users further declare that they are at least 18 years old and legally authorized to enter into this agreement and use the services in compliance with all included “Terms and Conditions.”

Similarly, users are responsible for keeping their information updated to reflect their current status and activities accurately. They are solely responsible for any false or incomplete statements, as well as for any resulting damages to the owner, ThePostimes.com, and/or third parties.

The owner reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to deny website and/or service access to any user at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to violations of this agreement.

Users agree to be solely responsible for any information shared with and/or through ThePostimes.com. Access to services is permitted exclusively as provided through their functionalities and as established in this agreement. Copying, transmitting, reproducing, replicating, publishing, or redistributing content, in whole or in part, and/or any services is strictly prohibited without prior written authorization from the owner.

1.4. The Infrastructure

The website, logos, graphic layouts, slogans used, as well as the infrastructure employed to provide content and user information, are the property of the owner of ThePostimes.com. For all content other than user-generated content, the user agrees not to modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, sell, or resell the information, software, products, or services obtained from or through ThePostimes.com. Furthermore, the user agrees to:

1. Not use ThePostimes.com services and/or content for commercial purposes beyond the explicitly permitted commercial purposes outlined in this agreement.
2. Not access, monitor, reproduce, distribute, transmit, display, sell, license, copy, or otherwise exploit any content from ThePostimes.com, including but not limited to user profiles and photos, using robots, spiders, or other automated means or manual processes for any purpose that does not comply with this agreement without explicit written permission from the owner.
3. Not violate restrictions and/or bypass other measures taken to prevent or limit access to ThePostimes.com services.
4. Not deep link to any part of the website for any purpose without the explicit written consent of the owner.
5. Not frame, mirror, or otherwise incorporate any part of the website into other websites and/or services without prior written consent from the owner.

7. Not circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with the security features of ThePostimes.com services.
8. Not download content from ThePostimes.com unless explicitly made available for download by the owner.

Additionally, the user is expressly prohibited from:

2. Carrying out actions for unlawful purposes and/or explicitly prohibited by these terms.
3. Adapting, altering, publicly disclosing, or reproducing website content or other users’ content without prior authorization from the rightful owners or the owner of ThePostimes.com.
4. Posting content or comments unrelated to the website’s purpose and objectives as set forth in this agreement.
5. Using software, scripts, or tools of any kind with malicious intent.
6. Training artificial intelligence software using the information and content of ThePostimes.com.

The user acknowledges and voluntarily accepts that the use of the website and its services occurs under their sole and exclusive responsibility. The user commits to complying with applicable laws and respecting the rights of third parties when using the website’s content and services, bearing responsibility for any damages and losses suffered by the owner and/or ThePostimes.com and/or third parties due to the user’s failure to comply with any of the obligations set forth in these terms or under applicable law.

1.5. Publishing and Promotion Service for Advertisers

ThePostimes.com offers a promotional service to advertiser users, granting them, for a fee, the right to publish promotional content (audio, images, texts, and videos) on this website (www.ThePostimes.com), provided that such content complies with the specifications required by the owner and/or ThePostimes.com and does not violate any applicable law or ThePostimes.com’s policies. The advertiser commits to paying the fee, while the owner commits to publishing the agreed-upon content on ThePostimes.com according to the website’s disclaimers (Terms and Conditions). The advertiser accepts that the PUBLICATION AND PROMOTION service is considered completed and finalized upon payment, with the mere publication of the aforementioned content on the website, for the time period agreed upon with the advertiser, after which the content will be removed. All promotional content published on ThePostimes.com is subject to expiration, and in particular:

1) for banners: the expiration date is set by the owner and the advertiser at the time of purchase based on the period of publication (e.g., 7, 15, 30, or 60 days);

2) for promotional content (such as guest posts or backlinks), the expiration is set to a maximum of 30 days, and ThePostimes.com reserves the right to remove the promotional content purchased by the advertiser after 30 days from its publication on the website, and the advertiser accepts this condition, waiving any claim for any reason or cause. However, it remains the owner’s and ThePostimes.com’s interest to keep all received and published content on the website available online for an extended period, usually 6 months (or in exceptional cases, up to a maximum of one year), after which the promotional content (including links) will certainly be removed unless the advertiser renews the purchase. The advertiser also accepts that any content, including promotional content, may be modified or removed from the website before 30 days from its publication if such content, at the sole discretion of the owner and/or ThePostimes.com, is deemed to conflict with the provisions of this agreement. For example, in cases of reports received for rights violations or new regulations discovered after publication, penalties or traffic reductions suffered by the website due to such content or links, conflicts with third parties, or if the website becomes inaccessible or is suspended or shut down, and/or for any other reason or cause. In all possible cases, the advertiser accepts and acknowledges that no refund is due, waiving any past, present, or future claims for any reason or cause.

By publishing their content on ThePostimes.com, the advertiser accepts all “Terms and Conditions” and, to facilitate the execution of the service, agrees to comply with all instructions received from the owner, acknowledging that refusals or non-compliance by the advertiser may compromise the successful completion of the service, releasing the owner and/or ThePostimes.com from any responsibility. The advertiser commits to providing grammatically correct English texts that are contextual to the proposed and/or agreed-upon content, as well as providing audio, images, and videos according to the quality specifications indicated by the owner and/or ThePostimes.com, necessary for the completion of the services.

The advertiser also declares the authenticity of all the data provided to the owner and ThePostimes.com and confirms that they are the legitimate owner and hold all the rights (including copyright) to all the content (such as audio, images, texts, and videos) transmitted to the owner and ThePostimes.com for the purposes of this agreement. Furthermore, the advertiser declares that they hold sufficient rights to ensure the inclusion of the provided content on the website, expressly relieving the owner and ThePostimes.com from any claims that may arise from third parties and from any responsibility for damages of any origin or cause resulting from such content.

The advertiser is solely responsible for the content transmitted and published by them or on their behalf on ThePostimes.com. The owner does not authorize the inclusion of content on the website that, at its discretion, may undermine the quality and requirements of ThePostimes.com. Therefore, it is prohibited to propose and insert content that: a) is presumably illegal according to national, community, or international law or describes presumably illegal activities or activities that contravene legal principles or good faith; b) does not meet the minimum quality standards set for presence on the website; c) violates the fundamental rights of individuals, offends the sensitivity of users, disrespects people on the internet, harasses and/or generates or induces negative opinions among users or third parties; d) contravenes the principles of legality, honor, responsibility, human dignity protection, child protection, public order, privacy protection, consumer protection, and intellectual and industrial property rights. The owner reserves the right to refuse or remove from the website content that they consider unsuitable for the characteristics and purposes of the website and this agreement. At the same time, they reserve the right to modify content that requires it, in order to adapt it to the formal and quality requirements of the website or the platforms on which such content may be visible, in accordance with the “Terms and Conditions” herein.

The advertiser who publishes content on ThePostimes.com agrees to freely assign to the owner and ThePostimes.com the content provided and/or published, as well as any intellectual property rights on the content, including the rights to reproduction, transformation, and public communication worldwide indefinitely. These rights or licenses are granted by the advertiser worldwide and for the entire legal duration of the protection of the user’s rights. The owner may remove content from the website, without any prior notice, if such content violates the applicable laws or infringes or is likely to infringe third-party rights, or if it is considered inappropriate or unsuitable, or if it does not meet the minimum quality standards set by ThePostimes.com. The owner may also, at their sole discretion, modify, correct, delete, or implement any part of the content: audio, images, texts, videos, or anything else received or published by the advertiser on ThePostimes.com. The advertiser is aware that such modifications, corrections, deletions, and/or implementations on the published content aim to facilitate the purposes of this agreement and, therefore, unconditionally consents to these changes, corrections, deletions, and/or implementations on the content (without the need for approval and/or further approvals), holding the owner and ThePostimes.com harmless from any claims regarding such modifications, corrections, deletions (partial or whole), and/or implementations on the content. The advertiser accepts that the owner is not obliged to provide a refund for deleted, corrected, implemented, or modified content. Users and advertisers recognize that it is not technically possible to guarantee the 100% availability of the website and release the owner and ThePostimes.com from any responsibility, for any reason or cause. The owner will undoubtedly do their best to ensure the constant availability of the website, but technical or security reasons, as well as events outside the control of the owner and ThePostimes.com (e.g., interruptions in public communication networks, blackouts, etc.), may cause anomalies or temporary and/or permanent suspensions of services. Users and advertisers release the owner and ThePostimes.com from any responsibility for any cancellation, interruption, and/or suspension of services that may occur for any reason or cause, and the owner will not be obliged to provide a refund in case of any cancellation, interruption, temporary or permanent suspension of ThePostimes.com’s services.

The advertiser is aware that the submission of their data and content, as well as the publication, dissemination, and sharing of their data and content, occurs through the owner and/or ThePostimes.com, but “in the name and on behalf” of the advertiser themselves, who is solely responsible for their data and content sent, published, or disseminated through the owner and/or ThePostimes.com. The information and content sent and/or published on ThePostimes.com, in any format, will be made public and may therefore be reused by third parties. The owner and ThePostimes.com are in no case responsible for the use that may be made of such information. Data, thoughts, concepts, content, ideas, and/or works expressed and/or created by the user and/or the advertiser (as well as any comments published by users and readers) remain the responsibility of the latter, and do not represent the views of the owner and/or ThePostimes.com, which remain exempt from any liability for data, thoughts, concepts, content, ideas, and/or works expressed and/or created by the user and/or the advertiser. The user and/or advertiser consequently agrees to bear any expenses and/or costs (including all legal expenses) arising from claims by third parties that may arise for any reason or cause, holding the owner and/or ThePostimes.com harmless from any liability, costs, or expenses. The services provided by the owner and/or ThePostimes.com that are not completed due to non-fulfillment or delays by the user and/or advertiser or due to proposed content that is not contextual, contrary to the law, or defamatory will not be refunded under any circumstances. In particular, but not exclusively, the following content is prohibited: alcohol, drugs, and tobacco; encouragement of gambling; incitement to violence and racism; explicit images of trauma, bodily fluids, or excrement; insults, profanity, and/or blasphemy. Furthermore, content regarding disputes, lawsuits, litigation, complaints, fraud, and scams, protests, or demonstrations will not be accepted. The owner reserves the right to move, modify, or delete (and may refuse to publish) any content that they consider contrary to this agreement or any of its policies, intellectual property rights, or other rights, or, in their opinion, unacceptable. The owner may, at their sole discretion, refuse to publish any content or accept any task and/or content for any reason or cause.

The owner and ThePostimes.com do not provide any data (e.g., statistical data) regarding ThePostimes.com and/or media proposed to users and/or advertisers, who therefore decide and accept to publish on ThePostimes.com and/or the proposed media (and/or media partners) entirely on their own independent judgment, as they are, without any guarantees or explicit or implied statements regarding performance, statistical data, traffic, or other characteristics. Users and advertisers accept that the data processed by the owner and ThePostimes.com is strictly confidential and therefore the owner is under no obligation to show the user and/or advertiser information regarding their contacts, emails, databases, or any other data related to the owner and/or ThePostimes.com.

By browsing the website of ThePostimes.com, users accept all the “Terms and Conditions” and are informed and aware that promotional content may be present.

1.6. Obligations Regarding Content

The user (e.g., the author, and/or the guest, and/or the advertiser) declares the authenticity of all data provided to the owner and to ThePostimes.com and confirms being the legitimate owner and holder of all rights (including copyright) of all content (such as audio, images, texts, videos, as well as addresses and contact details) transmitted to the owner and to ThePostimes.com for the purposes of this agreement. The user also declares to hold rights broad enough to ensure the inclusion of the provided content on the website (and/or sent to the owner and/or ThePostimes.com), expressly releasing the owner and ThePostimes.com from any claims made by third parties and from any liability for damages of any origin or cause resulting from such content.

Users are solely responsible for obtaining any necessary authorization, permission, or license for the creation and publication of any content. The owner does not authorize the inclusion of content on the website that, at its discretion, may affect the quality of the service. Therefore, it is prohibited to upload content that: a) is presumed to be illegal under national, EU, or international laws or that describes activities likely to be illegal or contrary to good faith principles; b) does not meet the minimum quality standards required for being on the website and participating in the services; c) violates fundamental human rights, offends users’ sensitivities, disrespects people online, harasses, and/or generates or induces negative opinions among users or third parties; d) contradicts principles of legality, honourability, responsibility, human dignity protection, child protection, public order, privacy protection, consumer protection, and intellectual and industrial property rights.

The owner reserves the right to remove from the website any content deemed inappropriate according to the website’s nature and the purpose of this agreement. Likewise, the owner reserves the right to modify content that requires adjustments to comply with the formal and quality standards of the website or other media where such content might appear, in accordance with these “Terms and Conditions.”

Although the owner employs measures to ensure that content meets ThePostimes.com quality parameters and complies with the stipulated regulations, it cannot verify each piece of content provided and published. Therefore, it assumes no liability regarding such content.

If a user believes that a particular piece of content is inappropriate for the website, they may contact ThePostimes.com. Any content provided by users becomes an integral part of the website as a whole and is subject to intellectual property rights. The user publishing content on ThePostimes.com agrees to freely and permanently transfer to the owner all provided and/or published content, as well as any intellectual property rights over it, specifically including reproduction, transformation, and public communication rights worldwide and indefinitely.

1.7. Liability and Disclosure of User Content, Data, and/or Information

The user (e.g., the author, and/or the guest, and/or the advertiser) agrees that the content provided and/or published on ThePostimes.com (and/or transmitted in any way to the owner and/or ThePostimes.com) may be used, reproduced, and further published without any limit, indefinitely, by the owner (and/or by the owner through third parties) on additional websites, media, apps, social networks, or any other communication channel.

To this end, the owner may modify or adapt the content when necessary to fit the website’s graphic format and other communication media, provided that such modification or adaptation respects the integrity of the content. The aforementioned rights or licenses granted by users apply worldwide and for the entire legal duration of the user’s rights.

The owner is not required to verify how users interact with the website. Therefore, it cannot guarantee that users will utilize the content in accordance with these conditions, nor that they will do so diligently and prudently. Likewise, the owner is not obligated to verify users’ identities or the accuracy, validity, completeness, and/or authenticity of their personal data. Users are responsible for providing truthful data that accurately reflect their actual status, as specified in these terms.

Notwithstanding the above, the owner reserves the right to partially or completely restrict access to services for specific users, as well as to delete, suspend, block, modify, or remove certain types of content, or even delete users’ accounts if they misuse the website. This also applies if the owner becomes aware that stored activities or information are illegal, infringe upon third-party rights, do not align with the purpose of this agreement, or are false or misleading.

All users release the owner and ThePostimes.com from any liability for any deletion, interruption, or suspension of services and/or their accounts, regardless of the reason or cause. The owner is not required to provide any refunds in the event of deletion, interruption, or temporary or permanent suspension of ThePostimes.com services and/or user accounts.

Users may submit suggestions or proposals to improve the various information, activities, and/or services available on the website. Any innovation developed based on user suggestions will be the exclusive property of ThePostimes.com’s owner, without the user having any rights over it.

1.8. Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability

The owner is in no way responsible for damages or losses of any kind resulting from information or services lacking in accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. The descriptions of services offered on ThePostimes.com are for illustrative purposes only and should be understood as purely indicative. The proposed services may be modified (whether necessary or not for their execution), without users having any claim, as they accept this condition from the outset.

Additionally, the owner is not responsible for errors or omissions in the information or services available on the website or for any inaccessible content. While technical means are in place, the owner cannot guarantee the availability, continuity, or infallibility of the website’s operation. Therefore, it assumes no liability for damages or losses of any kind resulting from service interruptions, errors in accessing different web pages, or issues related to services offered on the website.

Browsing and using the website is entirely at the user’s own risk, and services are provided without any express or implied warranty. The owner makes its best effort to maintain continuous website functionality but cannot be held responsible for potential data loss, access restrictions, navigation issues, inaccuracies, errors, file uploads/downloads, or any other issue.

The owner is not responsible for content, data, and/or information provided by users or for external websites and/or media linked from ThePostimes.com. Specifically, the owner cannot guarantee that such content is truthful or aligns with this agreement’s purposes.

Services on ThePostimes.com may include addresses, interactive maps, and links to advertiser websites or other third-party media, which are not controlled or managed by the owner. Consequently, the owner disclaims any responsibility regarding such third-party websites or media, as they are completely unrelated to ThePostimes.com.

Similarly, the owner is not responsible for opinions expressed by users on the website, forums, communities, or any other participatory tools. However, the owner will take reasonable steps to moderate user opinions to ensure they do not infringe upon third-party rights.

Additionally, information published on ThePostimes.com (and/or partner sites) may contain inaccuracies or errors, including mistakes related to locations and schedules. The owner does not guarantee the accuracy of such user-provided information and disclaims any liability for errors or other inaccuracies. Users assume all risks related to their use of the services and the reliance they place on reviews, opinions, and ratings available on ThePostimes.com.

If the owner or ThePostimes.com is found liable for any losses or damages resulting from or connected to the user’s use of services and/or content provided by users or third parties, any financial liability will not exceed, in aggregate, 100 dollars.

The user agrees to indemnify and hold the owner and ThePostimes.com harmless from any claims, legal actions, demands, damages, fines, penalties, or any costs and expenses, including legal and accounting fees, arising from: a) a violation of this agreement; b) a breach of laws or third-party rights by the user;
c) the user’s use of services and/or the website, including services or third-party websites owned by the owner.

The owner will not intervene in disputes between users or between users and third parties and reserves the right to remove any user from the website until the issue is fully resolved.

1.9. Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability for Third-Party Services

While browsing and using the website, users may encounter links to third-party websites, media, apps, or social networks, or may interact with such platforms. This may include the ability to share content, including user-generated content, on these third-party platforms. Users are informed that third-party websites, apps, or social networks may publicly display shared content. The owner and ThePostimes.com have no control over such third-party platforms and are not responsible for their content or actions. Users assume all risks associated with interacting with third-party websites, media, apps, or social networks. The user explicitly acknowledges and agrees that the owner and ThePostimes.com disclaim all liability regarding such third-party platforms.

1.10. User-Submitted Content

By submitting information and content to the owner and/or ThePostimes.com, the user (e.g., author, guest, advertiser) grants the owner and ThePostimes.com a non-exclusive, free, perpetual, transferable, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to: a) Host, use, reproduce, modify, perform, adapt, translate, distribute, publish, create derivative works from, publicly display, and perform such information and content worldwide, indefinitely, via any medium now known or in the future. b) Make the information and content available globally and allow others to do the same. c) Provide, promote, and enhance services while making shared information and content available to other companies, organizations, or individuals for sharing, transmission, distribution, promotion, or publication in accordance with the Privacy Policy and this agreement. d) Use the name and/or trademark submitted by the user to the owner and/or ThePostimes.com in connection with such content.

The user grants the owner and ThePostimes.com the right to decide, at their discretion, whether to attribute authorship to published user content (e.g., authors, guests, advertisers). The user acknowledges and agrees that submitted and/or published content is non-confidential and can be disclosed worldwide without restrictions.
