Ontok with Third Party Keys that belong to you, and grant Ontok the

You agree that Ontok is not responsible for any payments to you for use of these advertiser-supported services. Any manipulation of the inclusion of Ontok's Third-Party Key is a violation of these Terms of Service.
Proper Use
The content on this Site is the property of Ontok and/or its suppliers and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. Accordingly, you agree that you will not copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or publicly display any content (except for your own personal, non-commercial use) from the Site, except where otherwise noted. Any use of the Site that infringes upon Ontok's intellectual property rights will be investigated and Ontok shall have the right to take appropriate civil and criminal legal action.
User Contributions and Privacy
There are many opportunities within the Site
for you to actively participate. In the process of doing so, you may
provide certain comments, suggestions, data, or other information to
Ontok (collectively "Information"). Ontok shall have the right to
retain and use any such Information in current or future products or
services, without compensation to you. To the extent such Information

Ontok. Furthermore, Ontok may share aggregate (not personally
identifiable) Information with its business partners or other third
parties. Ontok will not, however, knowingly disclose personally
identifiable Information to third parties unless required to do so in
order to comply with any valid legal process, such as a search
warrant, subpoena, statute, court order, or if necessary or
appropriate to address an unlawful or harmful activity.
No Warranty
Please note that the services provided as part
of this Site are sometimes experimental in nature. Ontok does not
represent that they are reliable, accurate, complete, or otherwise
valid. ACCORDINGLY, THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND AND YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Ontok EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SITE OR ITS
CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Some states do not allow
the exclusion of warranty, so the above exclusions may not
apply.
Limitation of Liability
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL Ontok BE LIABLE TO
YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH USE OF THE SITE, WHETHER
OR NOT Ontok HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL Ontok BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY
AMOUNT. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation and
exclusions may not apply to you.
Release and Waiver
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, you hereby release, and waive all claims against Ontok and its
employees and agents from any and all liability for claims, damages
(actual and consequential), costs and expenses (including litigation
costs and attorneys' fees) of every kind and nature, arising out of or
in any way connected with use of the Service. Residents of other
states and nations similarly waive their rights under applicable
and/or analogous laws, statutes, or regulations.
Modifications of Terms
Ontok shall have the right to modify the terms
of this Agreement at any time, which modification shall be effective
immediately upon posting to the Site.
Violations of Terms
In addition to any legal remedies that Ontok
may have for your violation of the terms of this Agreement, Ontok
shall also have the right in its sole discretion to suspend or
terminate your access to the Site.
Hold Harmless and Indemnity
You agree to hold harmless and indemnify
Ontok, and its employees, agents and representatives, from and against
any third party claim arising from or in any way related to your use
of the Site, including any liability or expense arising from all
claims, losses, damages (actual and consequential), suits, judgments,
litigation costs and attorneys' fees, of every kind and nature. In
such a case, Ontok will provide you with written notice of such claim,
suit or action.
No Assignment
You shall not assign this Agreement or assign
any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part,
whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without Ontok's prior
written consent. Any such purported assignment or delegation by you
without Ontok's prior written consent will be null and void and of no
force or effect, unless otherwise expressly consented to by Ontok at
its sole and absolute discretion. Relationship of the Parties
Notwithstanding any provision hereof, for all
purposes of this Agreement each party shall be and act as an
independent contractor and not as partner, joint venturer, agent,
employee or employer of the other and shall not bind nor attempt to
bind the other to any contract.
Arbitration
Any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration in
accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Any such controversy or claim shall be
arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in
any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be final and unappealable. The
arbitration shall be conducted in California and judgment on the
arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Ontok may at any
time seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief from any
court of competent jurisdiction.
Miscellaneous
If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed superseded
by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent
of the original provision and the remaining provisions shall be
enforced. Ontok's failure to act with respect to a breach by you or
others does not waive Ontok's right to act with respect to subsequent
or similar breaches. The failure of Ontok to exercise or enforce any
right or provision of these terms and conditions shall not constitute
a waiver of such right or provision. This agreement shall be
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, as
if made in California by two residents of that state. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between Ontok and you.
