The Effective Date of these terms of use (the “Terms of Use”) of Detroitisit, LLC (“DII”) is December 28th, 2020.

Please read carefully these Terms of Use before using our website, located at https://detroitisit.com/ and all subdomains thereof (the “Site”) or any services, features, applications, or widgets offered by, through, or as part of the Site (the “Services”). These Terms of Use apply only to the Site and Services, whether accessed via computer, mobile device, or otherwise. The Site and Services are owned and controlled by Detroitisit. By accessing or using the Site or Services, you agree to fully comply with Terms of Use, which are current as of the date of your access or use, and which may be amended or updated from time to time. When providing you with access to our Site or our Services, we may display advertising within them and you agree to accept the advertising on whatever devices, including a wireless phone, you are using to access our Site or Services. We may, in our sole discretion, discontinue or change without notice any aspect of the Site or Services at any time and for any reason.

The Site and Services are based in the United States. They are not designed or customized for any other country, and may not comply with all laws, rules, and regulations of any country other than the United States. DII expressly disclaims any liability for use of the Site or Services outside of the United States, which may violate any law, rule, or regulation of any foreign jurisdiction. If you don’t agree to these Terms of Use, please don’t use this Site or Services.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site or Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Corporate Services Company, at mailing address 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808-1674. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, DII will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed on location.

DII and you hereby agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, DII and you each waive any right to a jury trial. DII and you also both agree that DII or you may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuses of intellectual property rights.

We do not guarantee that any Content you access on or through the Services is or will continue to be accurate.

  1. 2. REGISTERING A USERNAME AND ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

You will need a username to use some Services of DII. A username is a unique identifier selected or supplied by you or provided by us and is used to identify you on our Services. If you register with us, you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password and you agree you will not sell, transfer or assign your membership or any membership rights. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password if any, and for restricting access to your computer (or other Internet access device, as applicable) so that others may not access the password-protected portion of the Services using your name in whole or in part. DII reserves the right to terminate your account or otherwise deny you access in its sole discretion without notice and without liability.

To register a username and create an account, you must be at least 13 years of age. You must give us true and accurate information about yourself and keep that information up to date.

If you fail to maintain security or control over such an e-mail address or other online identifier, you are responsible for any consequences and may lose access to your personal information and any data stored on our Site or Services. Also, we are not responsible for the release or loss of any information that is identified with that address or identifier.

An individual Service may require you to sign in and use the Service periodically to remain active on that Service. If you fail to remain active on a specific Service, we may deactivate your access and use of that Service. Should we terminate or deactivate your account for inactivity or any other reason, we have no obligation to retain, store, or provide you with any data, information, e-mail, or other content that you uploaded, stored, transferred, sent, mailed, received, forwarded, posted or otherwise provide to us (collectively “posted” or “post”) on the Site or Services and may allow another user to register and use the username.

DII’s Site or Service may provide you with the opportunity to participate in message boards, chat rooms, and other public areas (“Community Forums”) and may provide you with the opportunity, through such features or otherwise, to submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish, distribute or broadcast to DII, User Content.

You understand that User Content need not be maintained on the Site or Services by us for any period of time and we reserve the right to delete it at any time.

DII also reserves the right to take down submissions at any point.

7. VIRAL DISTRIBUTION AND WIDGETS

DII may allow you – but only through express written permission – to engage in certain personal uses of Content that include the ability to share Content with others (“Viral Distribution”).

We reserve the right to revoke our permission for Viral Distribution at any time and for any reason and you agree to comply with any terms we post in connection with the Viral Distribution of Content.

Similarly, the Site or Services may provide content that you may choose to embed on your personal web page, Third-Party Sites by pasting the HTML or other code provided by us (typically labeled as an embed code) (“Widgets”). Widgets are Content and subject to the limited, revocable license described above for Content.

You agree that our permission to you to use Widgets on your personal web page does not provide you (or any third party) with any intellectual property rights in or to the Widget or any Content made available via any Widget.

You agree that you will not embed or otherwise make available a Widget on a webpage or website containing content that (i) is threatening, abusive, harassing, hateful, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable (in DII’s sole opinion). DII makes no specific warranties about Widgets. You agree not to circumvent (or in any way attempt to circumvent) the security or rights management features in the Widget or any component of the Widget (including any video player) that are designed to prevent users from copying, manipulating, or retaining the Content made available via the Widget. You also agree to not use (or attempt to use) the Widget or any component of the Widget to display content other than the Content provided or intended by DII to be displayed via a particular Widget.

NOTICE TO THIRD PARTY SITES: Any Content made available in connection with Third-Party Sites, or otherwise, by our Widgets, third party widgets or otherwise is our exclusive property and no grant of any intellectual property rights is made by us.

DII controls and operates the Site or Services from offices located in the United States and makes no representations or warranties that the information, products or services contained on the Site or Services are appropriate for use or access in other locations. Anyone using or accessing the Site or Services from other locations does so on their own initiative and is responsible for compliance with the United States’, and local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content, if and to the extent such local laws are applicable. We reserve the right to limit the availability of any Site or Services or any portion of a Site or Services to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any such content, program, product, service or other feature that we provide.

20. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms of Use, inclusive of the accompanying Privacy Policy which is incorporated by reference herein, is the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Site and Services, including use of the Site and Services, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us with respect to the Services. If any provision of this Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of DII to act with respect to a breach of these Terms of Use by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit DII’s rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. No waiver by DII of any of these Terms of Use will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of DII. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms of Use.
