ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THE “TERMS”), INCLUDING THE ACCOMPANYING LABRADORS.COM PRIVACY POLICY, AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND ENTERS YOU INTO A LEGAL AND BINDING AGREEMENT WITH LABRADORS.COM. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THE ACCOMPANYING PRIVACY POLICY VERY CAREFULLY. ACCESSING AND USING THIS WEBSITE INDICATES THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE.
The website http://Labradors.com, including all sub-domains (collectively, the “Site”) is owned and operated by Coventure Media, LLC (“Coventure” or “we”, “our” or “us”), a Connecticut limited liability company. We offer an online community that connects labrador owners and enthusiasts (collectively, “Members”) through networks of friends and common interests, as well as a service (collectively, the “Services”) that allows Members to act as buyers of services and goods (“Buyers”) and connect with sellers of services and goods (“Merchants”).
Whether you are a Member, Buyer, or Merchant (collectively, “Users”), these Terms apply to you. Where the Terms are only applicable to one subset of Users or another, we have so indicated. These Terms incorporate the Privacy Policy and details in the FAQ, all of which taken together describe the rules that must be followed by any person who establishes a connection for access to and use of the Site. You may not use or access the Site or Services if you do not agree to these Terms.
Because we are constantly innovating in order to provide a better experience for our Users, we reserve the right to modify or discontinue any feature or aspect of the Site or Services at any time. We must also, therefore, reserve the right to change the Terms governing any User’s use of the Site and Services at any time. Any change in the Terms will be effective upon posting the changes to this Terms of Service page. Any use by you subsequent to these changes will constitute your acceptance of such changes. Therefore, we suggest that you check this page often to be sure you are always familiar with the current Terms. As a sole exception to this, for any Merchant where we have countersigned an Offer Agreement, the Terms will not be deemed changed as to that Offer.
Except for those sections explicitly used by Labradors.com to feature merchants, the Site is for the personal use of individual Members only. The Site and Services may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors, unless we provide written consent. Companies and/or businesses may become Members and use the site for personal communications, but may not post commercial messages on the Social portion of the site. All commercial messaging must be done through the Pro Network. Companies and/or businesses cannot use registered Members to solicit and/or promote that said company and/or business. Illegal and/or unauthorized uses of the Site, including collecting email addresses of Members by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited email and unauthorized framing of or linking to the Site will be investigated, and appropriate legal action will be taken, including without limitation, civil, criminal and injunctive redress.
We do not allow links to other websites or social networks from within Member or Group posts. Our intent is to support the posting and sharing of virtually all types of content within the Labradors.com site. Exceptions may be made on a limited basis and only with explicit, written pre-approval.
To access certain features of the Site, you will have to create a Labradors.com account, including a unique password. When setting up this account, you must provide true and accurate information. You are solely responsible for keeping your password secure and for any activity that occurs on the Site using your password.
