Forums; Email Service
IN HANDS MEDIA offers user’s access to Forums, and also provides registered users with access to email services. A "Forum" refers to a bulletin board, virtual community or other means for users to engage in public commentary or discussion. Both Forums and email are offered as part of the IN HANDS MEDIA Services. Forums and e-mail are offered for personal, non-commercial use only. You shall not, without IN HANDS MEDIA express written approval, distribute or otherwise publish via any of the IN HANDS MEDIA Services any material containing any solicitation of funds, promotion, advertising, or solicitation for goods or services.
As with all IN HANDS MEDIA Services, your privilege to use IN HANDS MEDIA email and participate in the Forums is dependent on your continued compliance with these Terms of Service, specifically including the Community Standards and Conduct listed below. IN HANDS MEDIA may revoke your privileges, terminate your registration/account or take any other measures deemed by IN HANDS MEDIA to be appropriate, in its sole discretion, to enforce these Terms of Service if violations are brought to our attention.
In addition to any other rights or remedies available to it, IN HANDS MEDIA reserves the right to immediately suspend, terminate, access and investigate the email or user account of any user upon receipt of a subpoena or law enforcement request, or when IN HANDS MEDIA believes, in its sole discretion, that a user is transmitting or is otherwise connected with the distribution of unsolicited bulk email messages (SPAM) or any harassing email messages, or with any fraudulent, misleading or illegal activities. Because of the difficulty associated with quantifying damages, if actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated then you agree to pay IN HANDS MEDIA liquidated damages of $5 for each piece of unsolicited bulk Email transmitted from or otherwise connected with your account or the maximum liquidated damages permitted under law, whichever is greater; otherwise you agree to pay IN HANDS MEDIA actual damages, to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably calculated.
Email/Forum Privacy
It is our policy to respect the privacy of all users. Therefore, in addition to our Privacy Policy, we and our service partners will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a user or member e-mail unless required in the course of normal maintenance of the IN HANDS MEDIA Services and its systems, or in our good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or comply with legal process served on IN HANDS MEDIA ; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of IN HANDS MEDIA ; or (3) act in an emergency to protect the personal safety of our users or the public. You shall remain solely responsible for the content of your messages.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to permit IN HANDS MEDIA to protect the quality of its products and services, you hereby consent to IN HANDS MEDIA employees being able to access your account and records on a case by case basis to investigate complaints or other allegations or abuse. IN HANDS MEDIA shall not disclose the existence or occurrence of such an investigation unless required by law.
You should consider all Forum communications to be public and not private communications. Although IN HANDS MEDIA reserves the right to remove without notice any Forum posting for any reason, we have no obligation to delete content that you may find objectionable or offensive. By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us, you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such materials has expressly granted) us and our service partners a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and create derivative works from and distribute such materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed throughout the universe. In addition, you warrant that all so-called "moral rights" in those materials have been waived.
IN HANDS MEDIA reserves the right to monitor some, all, or no areas of the Forums for adherence to these or other rules that may be published from time to time. You acknowledge that by providing you with the ability to distribute content, IN HANDS MEDIA is acting as a passive conduit for such distribution and IN HANDS MEDIA is not undertaking any obligation or liability relating to any content or activities in any Forum or email.
Email Storage and Delivery
The amount of Email storage space per member may be limited. Email accounts may be archived at such time intervals as IN HANDS MEDIA or its third party service provider(s) determine in their sole discretion. Some Email messages may not be processed due to space constraints, outbound message limitations or disruptions in the system(s). You agree that IN HANDS MEDIA is not responsible or liable for the deletion or failure to store messages or other information.
Submissions
If, on your own or at our request, you submit content (e.g., postings to Forums, games or sweepstakes), communications, creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, or other information (collectively, "Submissions"), you hereby grant to IN HANDS MEDIA and its affiliates a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable, transferable, worldwide license to use, copy, modify, incorporate into other works, display, perform, transmit and distribute such Submissions or any portion thereof, in or through any medium, whether now known or hereafter created..
