TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This agreement (the "Agreement") describes the general Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") on which SpaceValues Inc. and its affiliates (collectively "EDriverLicense.Com," "we," or "us") offers you ("you," "your," or "User") access to EDriverLicense.Com (the "Service" or "Site") and any other affiliated EDriverLicense.Com web sites and to the services provided on this web site and other affiliated web sites. By registering or posting/uploading any artistic or literary work, asking a question, providing an answer, or reading a previously-asked question or answer, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as all other applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations concerning use of the Services. If you do not accept the Terms as stated, you may not use the Service.

EDriverLicense.Com reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on the Site. It is your responsibility as a User of the Site to return periodically to this page to review this Agreement for modifications. The home page link to this page includes reference to when this Agreement was last revised. Unless otherwise specified below, all Terms take effect automatically when they are initially posted to the Site. Your continued use of the Site following any amendment will constitute your agreement to such amendment.

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

This Site is user-driven and not a question-answering service. We do not charge people to post artistic or literary work or any question or post/edit any answer. We allow anyone at any time to write and edit content on the Site. Therefore any information on this might be false, patently wrong or misleading.

YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

(a) Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). You must be thirteen (13) years of age or older to submit personal information to the service and web site. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we do not accept name and email address information from users who are under thirteen (13) years of age.” We also reserve the right to cancel, remove, delete, or otherwise terminate or amend any user registration and account from the service and web site in view of any violation of the COPPA act or fraud.

(b) Responsibility for Galleries or Messages. The Service is only a meeting place — we are a service provider that maintains a site that acts as a forum for you and other Users to exchange information with one another. EDriverLicense.Com takes no responsibility for the content of artistic or literary work (“Galleries”), questions, comments, or answers ("Galleries or Messages"), nor does EDriverLicense.Com have any obligation to monitor Galleries or Galleries or Messages. Most Galleries and Galleries or Messages are authored by other Users ("User Inputs"). In a few cases, EDriverLicense.Com obtains information from certain free, public domain, third party sources ("Third Party Inputs") and includes them in Galleries or Galleries or Messages. EDriverLicense.Com does not independently verify the content of either User Inputs or Third Party Inputs, and EDriverLicense.Com does not warrant that the content on any Galleries or Messages is true, accurate, correct, complete, reliable, or otherwise valid, nor does EDriverLicense.Com endorse or support any opinion expressed in any Galleries or Galleries or Messages.

(c) Independent Judgment. Galleries or Messages are not professional advice. The use of the Service should not be considered a substitute for independent investigation or sound personal judgment or professional advice. In particular, you should not consider information contained in Galleries or Messages to be a substitute for consultation with medical, psychiatric, psychological, tax, legal, investment, accounting, financial, or other competent professional advisors licensed to practice in your jurisdiction. If you submit a Galleries or Messages, you are assumed to be soliciting or giving general information, not professional advice. For professional advice, you must consult a qualified, licensed professional in your local area.

(d) Safe Usage Considerations. We do not control the information provided by other Users, which is made available through our system. You may find other User's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate or deceptive. Please use caution and common sense when using the Services. EDriverLicense.Com is not a dating service. Hateful comments, racist comments, sexually implicit/explicit comments, bad words, or personal attacks will not be tolerated and may result in immediate removal of your account. Furthermore, EDriverLicense.Com does not specify, determine, endorse or recommend any product or service or provider described in any Galleries or Galleries or Messages or the quality, safety, conformance or legality of such products or services.

To report abuse of the Service, please e-mail: terms at topnotcher@spacevalues.com.

(e) User Release of EDriverLicense.Com. In the event of any dispute with respect to a transaction made or action taken or not taken by you after consulting the Service, or between User and any other User or third party, you release EDriverLicense.Com, its agents and employees from any claims and damages of every nature (including, without limitation, actual, special, incidental and consequential), known and unknown, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute. If you are a California resident, then you waive California Civil Code S.1542 which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor".

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

(a) Rights in Work. In consideration for the opportunity to participate in and use the Service and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which User acknowledges, and without further compensation to User, User agrees that the content of any Galleries or Messages submitted by User ("Content") will be a contribution to a collective work prepared as a "work for hire" for EDriverLicense.Com and that EDriverLicense.Com shall be considered the author of the Content for purposes of copyright and shall own all the rights in and to the Content, including all copyrights or other proprietary rights. To the extent that the foregoing is not effective for any reason, User hereby assigns and agrees to assign upon creation to EDriverLicense.Com all right, title and interest in and to the Content and all materials contained therein or prepared therefor and the results and proceeds thereof to the extent that User has had or will have any right, title or interest therein. To the extent any of the foregoing rights, including so-called "moral rights" may be inalienable, User agrees to waive and agrees not to exercise such rights, and if such waiver and agreement are deemed invalid, to grant to EDriverLicense.Com and its designees the exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide and royalty free right to use, market and modify such items without any obligation of attribution or consent. User will not take any action that jeopardizes EDriverLicense.Com's proprietary rights, or acquire any right in the Content.

(b) EDriverLicense.Com’s Rights.

EDriverLicense.Com will own all right, title and interest in the Content, including all rights in any copy, translation, modification, adaptation or derivation of the Content. EDriverLicense.Com shall have the sole and exclusive right throughout the universe in all languages and in perpetuity to use and exploit all or any part of the Content and all or any part of any material contained therein or prepared therefore, whether or not used therein, in any format or version, by any means and in any media, whether now known or hereafter developed, without further compensation to you. EDriverLicense.Com may distribute Content at its sole discretion by any method of distribution now existing or later developed.

(c) Rights Clearances and Assignments.

You will be solely responsible for obtaining all rights clearances (including any work-for-hire agreements or assignments from employees, agents, contractors, consultants or representatives needed by User to effectuate EDriverLicense.Com’s rights set forth in this Section) with respect to all Content created or provided by User to EDriverLicense.Com in connection with this Agreement. At EDriverLicense.Com’s request, User will obtain the execution of any instrument, including from any employee or contractor, that may be appropriate to assign these rights under this Section to EDriverLicense.Com or perfect these rights in EDriverLicense.Com’s name.

(d) EDriverLicense.Com’s Proprietary Material.

These materials may be used solely to the extent necessary for your authorized use of the Service, as provided in this Agreement. You may not copy, distribute, prepare derivative works from or otherwise use Content for any public or commercial purpose without the written permission of EDriverLicense.Com.

(e) EDriverLicense.Com’s Agent to Receive Notification of Copyright Infringement Claims.

EDriverLicense.Com respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our Users to do the same. Because of the size of our community, EDriverLicense.Com does not and can not verify that Users have the right to post Content. However, EDriverLicense.Com cooperates in removing infringing or unlicensed items once an authorized representative of the rights owner properly reports them to us. If you believe Galleries or Messages infringes on your copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights, please provide EDriverLicense.Com’s Agent thru SpaceValues Inc. with a Notice of Infringement by mailing it to:
SpaceValues Inc.
100 Andover Park W, Suite 150-189,
Seattle, WA 98188

In the United States, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that items, information or other materials appearing on the Service infringe your U.S. copyright, you (or your agent) may send EDriverLicense.Com’s IP Agent a notice requesting that the item, information or material be removed, or access to it blocked.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. One place to find more information is the U.S. Copyright Office web site, currently located at http://www.loc.gov/copyright/. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be substantial penalties for false claims.
