1. We Reserve the Right to Update and Revise These Terms at Any Time

Things happen quickly, both inside and outside of Towbes Group, so we will sometimes review these Terms to make sure they accurately reflect developments in current law and our business operations. We reserve the right to update and revise these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to or use of the Site thereafter.

6. Content

a. User Content

We want to hear from you. Occasionally, you may see areas on the Site where you can post information or communicate with us or other users. These areas may be in the form of social media posts, bulletin boards, chat rooms, comment areas, billboards, forums, newsgroups, postings sections or similar communications facilities.

“User Content” is any public communications or any other material you submit, distribute, transmit, or post to Towbes Group (through the Site; through our pages on third party sites, such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook; or through activities in our stores).

When you submit, distribute, transmit, or post User Content, you give us full right and license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute your User Content in any and all media formats or distribution channels. You agree that this license includes the right for Towbes Group to use your User Content to provide, promote, and improve the Site. You agree that this license is irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, fully paid, and royalty-free. Please note that we may use User Content without compensation of any kind to you, including if we use User Content for advertising or promotional purposes. You also agree that if your User Content contains any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques, we can use the User Content and anything it contains for any purpose including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing products.

In addition to giving Towbes Group a license, you also give each user of the Site an irrevocable, nonexclusive, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, fully paid, and royalty-free right and license to access your User Content through the Site and to use, edit, modify, publish, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, adapt, and promote such submissions, including after any termination of your Account.

b. Representations About Your User Content

When you submit User Content, you represent and warrant that:

  • You hold all necessary right, title, and license to such materials (in other words, you own it or have the right to give it to us).
  • Your submission of such materials to Towbes Group does not and, when used by Towbes Group as authorized under these Terms, will not violate or infringe the rights of any third-parties, including any privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademarks, contract rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights (you didn’t take it from someone else without permission).
  • All User Content you provide is accurate, complete, up-to-date, and not misleading (you’re not lying).

In addition, any User Content must not:

  • Include any profanity or obscene, indecent, or pornographic material.
  • Contain any unauthorized or unsolicited advertising, such as spam.
  • Contain software viruses or any other computer codes, files, or programs that are designed or intended to disrupt, damage, limit, or interfere with the proper function of any software, hardware, or telecommunications equipment or to damage or obtain unauthorized access to any system, data, password, or other information of ours or of any third party.
  • Impersonate any person or entity.
  • Include anyone’s identification documents or sensitive financial information.

c. Private vs. Non-private Content

We take your privacy very seriously. However, we also include certain features to open channels of communication, either among our users or between our users and us, and those features would not work if all your communication were completely private. Therefore, we do not treat as private or confidential any User Content that you provide to those features of the Site. When in doubt, it is best to take a look at our Privacy Policy, which details the types of information we treat as confidential or private. If you post something publicly on the Site, others may be able to read it. You should always use caution when providing any personal information about yourself or anyone else, including your children.

d. A Note About Third-Party Content and User Content

You may see a lot of content on the Site, some of which will come from other users or sources outside of Towbes Group. All content, including User Content and third-party content, is the responsibility of the party that creates it. Towbes Group does not control or endorse any User Content or third-party content, and we make no claims or representations regarding any content we do not create. We may provide links to third-party sites or resources, but these links do not mean we endorse or have any associations with the third parties. If any damage or loss results from your use of, reliance on, or any other connection between you and any content that any third party makes available, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly. When you access third-party resources on the Internet, you do so at your own risk.

We may review content on the Site, but we do not have an obligation to do so. We reserve the right to review, remove, block, or modify any content on the Site, including User Content, without notice or further obligation to you.

We take no responsibility related to third-party content, User Content, or any actions resulting from your use of any part of the Site. Towbes Group will have no liability in connection with any content submitted to, transmitted via, or displayed or posted on or through the Site, regardless of whether Towbes Group or another party provides it.

7. Copyright Policy

Just as we ask you to respect our intellectual property rights, we respect your rights and the rights of others, and we expect all our users to do the same. If we believe a user may be infringing upon someone’s intellectual property rights, we may remove the material. If we believe someone is repeatedly infringing, we will terminate that person’s access rights.

If you believe someone has posted on the Site a work that you own without your authorization, let us know. Please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to our Designated Agent (whose contact information is below):

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed.
  • Identification of works or materials being infringed.
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that we are capable of finding and verifying its existence.
  • Your contact information, including address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address.
  • A statement that you have a valid belief that the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
