And we were told no one ever reads the Terms of Service. Well, you proved them all wrong.
TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: 18 February 2010
Welcome to PerfectPints.com! We'll try to make this as painless and straightforward as possible. We have been asked to state the terms and conditions below (the "Terms") that govern your access to and use of the Perfectpints' Site, mobile applications, products, and services (collectively, the "Site"), excluding any services provided to you by Perfect Pints Ltd. under separate written Terms. That was a mouthful and we're only getting started.
The Terms constitute a legal agreement between you and Perfect Pints Ltd. The good news is you don't have to sign anything. You agree to the Terms of Service by accessing or using the Site in any manner. So, essentially if you don't agree or can't abide by these Terms of Service, please don't use the site. Sorry.
We've created the Site solely to assist customers in gathering information; post reviews, and engage in social discussion and for no other purposes. We sell some merchandise through a Spreadshirt shop, and they manage their own Terms & Conditions. So, when we use the terms "we", "us", "our" and "PerfectPints" that just refers to Perfect Pints Ltd., a company registered in Ireland. We hope "you" know who "you" are, but just in case, “you” refers to the customer visiting the Site and/or contributing content to this Site. Who knew pronouns could be so complex?
We had so much fun drafting these terms, that you might want to check back from time to time to review the most current version of the Terms. We can change the Terms at any time without notification, but we'll always post the modified date at the top of this page. Likely we'll let you know through our blog, but in case we forget, by continuing to use the site, you agree to the new Terms.
USE OF THE SITE
When using the Site, you warrant that all information supplied by you on this Site is true, accurate, current and complete. If you have a PerfectPints.com account, you will safeguard your account information and be responsible for any use of your account by anyone other than you. You can't expect us to monitor you computer. And please don't use that one password you use for everything including your bank account. You also confirm you are 18 years of age or older in order to register for an account and contribute to our Site.
We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18. If we think something fishy is going on, we retain the right at our discretion to deny access to anyone to the Site and the services we offer, at any time and for any reason. We have the power!
The content and information on this Site and the infrastructure used to provide such content and information is proprietary to us. You cannot modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell or re-sell any information, software, products, or services obtained from or through this Site.
DON'T DO THIS STUFF! NO REALLY, WE AREN'T KIDDING.
DON'T use the Site or its contents for your commercial purpose.
DON'T monitor or copy any content or information of this Site using a robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means, regardless how clever you are for any purpose without our express written permission. Look, if you have a legitimate need for our data, talk with us. We'll work something out.
DON'T create another "clever" thing that places an unreasonable load on our servers. You could bring the whole shooting match down. That would be bad for everyone.
DON'T represent our site on your site so it looks like our site without permission.
DON'T try to figure out how we work our magic behind the scenes. Again, if you're really that curious, talk to us.
PRIVACY POLICY
We created an equally pithy Privacy Policy that explains the length we go to protect the personal information you provide to us.
REVIEWS AND COMMENTS
When you post Content to the Site (a "Submission"), including your reviews, comments, suggestions, ideas or the like, you grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use that Submission any way we can dream up. And we can use the name that you submit in connection with such Submission. So be sure to pick a cool username if you want to be famous. A Submission is not confidential. You'd be silly to think one was.
WHAT YOU SHOULD NEVER INCLUDE IN A SUBMISSION
DON'T submit anything that breaks the law; would make your mother blush; or get you fired from any respectable job. DON'T harass anyone; make threats or invade the privacy of anyone. Just DON'T post any objectionable content.
DON'T post anything that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual property.
DON'T pretend to be someone you're not. Keep your impersonations offline. But you'll never top Kevin Spacey's performance on Inside the Actor's Studio when he nailed Pacino, Brando and even Katherine Hepburn.
DON'T post unsolicited promotions, advertising, that bike you're trying to sell, or other solicitations. We'll remove them.
DON'T post the private information of someone other than yourself.
DON'T post malicious software, viruses of other digitally destructive files.
DON'T submit Content that is completely unrelated to the Content of the section you're in. It's pretty obvious what you should be contributing. Stick to the script.
IT'S NOT OUR FAULT
We can't be liable for losing any of the Content you upload, but since the Site depends on all this great Content, we'll do our best to keep it safe. Also, should someone include some of the nasties mentioned in the last section, we can't be liable if you see them.
We don't have an obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the Content posted to the Site, but we do reserve the right to remove, screen or edit without notice any Content posted or stored on the Site at any time and for any reason. We have the ability for you to report objectionable material on the site, so you can inform us should you come across anything unsavory.
As you'd expect, if you violate any of the Terms, we can suspend or terminate your account. We will not send a note to your parents.
YOU MAY WANT TO CALL AHEAD
It's a team effort and everyone pitches in to make sure the Content on the site is as accurate as it can be. However, you may come across inaccurate data and we are not liable for any errors. Nor can we pay for your petrol bill, or any other expenses you might incur, if the Content leads you astray.
WARRANTY
The Site and all services are provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. This is an independent rating site and the Content does not constitute an endorsement by us. We also can't warrant that the Site, or emails sent from the Site are free from viruses or other harmful digital baddies. It's your responsibility to protect your computer from malicious software.
Perfect Pints Ltd. and all the lovely people that work for us are not liable for any damages or distress caused by your inability to access the Site or our services.
INDEMNIFICATION
That's a scary word that translates into your agreement to defend and indemnify Perfect Pints Ltd. and its affiliates and any of their officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature including but not limited to reasonable legal and accounting fees, brought by third parties as a result of your breach of these Terms; your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or your use of this Site.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
This Site contains links to third-party sites and services and we can't guarantee their sites will be up and running 100% of the time, nor can we ensure their sites will be free of digital baddies. We choose our third-party partners carefully and they are all providing added functionality and benefit to you. They will likely have their own Terms and Conditions (but will they be as accessible as ours?)
SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS
Any software we make available to download from the site ("Software") is the copyrighted work of Perfect Pints Ltd. or the third party developer as identified. That software will come with its own Terms, separate from these. It's a wonder we have time to write software outside of writing Terms.
All the code written to run this site is the property of Perfect Pints Ltd. and is protected by copyright laws and international treaty provisions. We reserve the right to prosecute the unauthorised theft or reproduction or redistribution of our code.
