The Service enables you to search for ratings on terms of interest through multiple transport mediums offered by third party providers based on search criteria that you provide. Upon receipt of your request, StreetYap.com obtains results that meet your criteria, displays to you results that the Service finds, and sends the results through a variety of third party service providers. GT provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including various communications tools, forums, services, query services, and personalized content through its network of properties which may be accessed through any various medium or device now known or hereafter developed.

  15. Third-party Providers and Sites
  16. The third parties offering advertisements that are accessible through the Service are independent contractors and are not agents or employees of GT or its affiliates. The search results that appear from GT's indices are indexed by GT's automated machinery and computers, and GT cannot and does not screen the results before including them in the indices from which such automated search results are gathered. A search using GT Services may produce search results and links that some people find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee that a GT search will provide in unintended or objectionable result and assume no responsibility for the results included in any search results or otherwise linked to by GT. You understand the mere fact that the Service displays advertisements of certain third parties does not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute any sponsorship or approval of GT by any such provider or any affiliation between any such provider and GT. Unless otherwise expressly stated, GT's display of advertisements does not suggest a recommendation by GT of the providers. You agree that GT is in no way responsible for the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of information it may obtain on your behalf from these transport providers. Your interaction with any provider accessed through the Service is at your own risk, and GT shall have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches or negligence of any such suppliers or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting therefrom. Furthermore, the Service may contain links or references to websites operated by parties other than GT. GT does not control such websites and is not responsible for their contents. GT 's inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. You may not send automated queries of any sort to GT's system without express permission in advance from GT. Note that "sending automated queries" includes, among other things: using any software which sends queries to GT to determine results on GT for various queries; "meta-searching" GT; and performing "offline" searches on GT. Please do not write to GT to request permission to "meta-search" GT for a research project, as such requests will not be granted.

  17. Requests for Removal of Feedback Materials
  18. GT occasionally receives requests from people to remove terms from its feedback indices. Although GT reserves the right to address such requests individually, the general approach that GT takes reflects the following principles: GT’s indices consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process. Given the enormous volume of terms and information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, GT cannot and does not screen everything made available through its indices. For each term reflected in GT’s indices, GT would consider on a case-by-case basis requests to remove the term from its indices. However, if the operator, holder, or owner of the term does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create the indices are likely to include that term and index it again in a relatively short amount of time. GT stores many terms in its cache to retrieve for users as a back-up. Term owners may also request immediate removal of cached terms from the GT Feedback Service. GT evaluates such requests for the immediate removal of content on a case-by-case basis and does not guarantee that every request will be granted.

  19. Implementation
  20. You will implement any and all identifiers and other programming and/or technological elements that we ask that you implement in connection with GT Services. In addition, you will promptly notify us if your volume for GT Service queries for any month exceeds 1,000 queries.

  21. Privacy Policy
  22. Registration Data and certain other information about you is subject to our Privacy Policy. For more information, see our full privacy policy at http://privacy.generaltechnologies.com/. You understand that through your use of the Service you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by GT and its affiliates.

  23. Member Account, Password, and Security
  24. You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify GT of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. GT cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this TOA.

  25. Conduct
  26. You understand that all information, data, text, messages or other materials ("Content"), are the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not GT, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. You agree to not use the Service to:
    -upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
    -upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);

    -provide material support or resources (or to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, or ownership of material support or resources) to any organization(s) designated by the United States government as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act;
    You acknowledge that GT may or may not pre-screen queries, but that GT and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or move any queries that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, GT and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable. You acknowledge, consent and agree that GT may access, preserve and disclose your queries if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the TOS; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property or personal safety of GT, its users and the public. You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

  27. Special Admonitions for International Use
  28. Recognizing the global nature of the Internet and mobile devices, you agree to comply with all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.

  29. Content Submitted or Made Available for Inclusion on the Service
  30. GT claims ownership of all ratings you submit, but does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant GT the following worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive license(s), as applicable:
    With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of GT Services, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purposes of providing and promoting GT to which such Content was submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or GT removes such Content from the Service. "Publicly accessible" areas of the Service are those areas of the GT properties that are intended by GT to be available to the general public. By way of example, publicly accessible areas of the Service would include GT Service websites. However, publicly accessible areas of the Service would not include portions of GT Services that are limited to members, GT Services intended for private communication, or areas off of GT properties such as portions of World Wide Web sites that are accessible via hypertext or other links but are not hosted or served by GT.

  31. No Resale of Service

You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or purchase certain other GT services, affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of GT to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
