Hyperlinks

QuoteSnob.com may include hyperlinks to other websites which are not maintained by QuoteSnob. We are not responsible for the content of such external websites and we make no representations whatsoever concerning the content or accuracy of, opinions expressed in, or other links provided by such websites. The inclusion of any hyperlink to external websites does not imply endorsement by QuoteSnob of those websites or any products or services referred to therein. The terms of service and privacy policies applicable to external websites may be different from those applicable to QuoteSnob.com. If you decide to access any external website through a link within QuoteSnob.com, you do so entirely at your own risk, and QuoteSnob will have no liability for any loss or damage arising from your access or use of any external website. Since QuoteSnob is not responsible for the availability of these websites, or their content, you should direct any concerns regarding an external website to the administrator of that website. You agree that you will bring no suit or claim against us arising from or based upon any such use of external websites.

Copyright (Yours & Ours)

Obviously QuoteSnob does not own the exclusive rights to quotes that other people have said. However, we do own the copyright to the arrangement of information on the Site. Plus, we can make you agree to stuff through this contract that further limits your rights, such as: You agree not to copy, distribute, display, disseminate, or otherwise reproduce any of the information on our Site, or our Site itself, without our prior written permission. This includes, but is not limited to, all original content (such as BUT NOT LIMITED TO! articles, photographs, biographies) and a prohibition on collecting aggregated information from our Site that is in the public domain and publishing it elsewhere. This prohibition does not extend to uses which would, if governed solely by the copyright law of the United States, be considered a "fair use." In other words, by accepting this Agreement, you can use our stuff for legitimate academic, research, and reporting projects, but you can't use it to just copy and paste a bunch of our stuff on your own website. Also, all images and toons published on QuoteSnob, and on our social media pages on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, are protected by copyright. All of the awesome toons on QuoteSnob are property of Toonaday.com and we highly encourage you to check them out! You agree not to copy, distribute, display, disseminate, or otherwise reproduce QuoteSnob toons, without our prior written permission. That said, there is one exception: You can share our photographs via social media as long as, and only if, they link back to QuoteSnob.com. If you steal our stuff, publish them and link them back to your own website, we will find you... and that won't be good! Share our content, enjoy them, be inspired by them - do not infringe on them, and we will remain friends.

Trademarks

QuoteSnob™ is a trademark owned by us, SnobPublishing, Inc., to uniquely identify our famous quotations website. You agree not to use this term anywhere without our prior written consent. In other words, by accepting this Agreement, you cannot use the name QuoteSnob for any purpose, and you cannot use our logo on your own website, your blog, use it as your Facebook or Twitter icon, to create a temporary tattoo, or any other cockamamie reason. Now, if you get a permanent QuoteSnob tattoo, we want to see it. (Photo or it didn't happen!) We know the QuoteSnob name and logo is cool, but it's our property, not yours. Got it? Good. Additionally, you agree not to use our trade dress, or copy the look and feel of our Site or its design, without our prior written consent. What is a trade dress, you ask? We're not quite sure ourselves, but our lawyers assure us that it doesn't involve wearing a tux to a black-tie event. You agree that this paragraph goes beyond the governing law on intellectual property, and includes prohibitions on any competition that violates the provisions of this paragraph.

Revocation of Consent

Where QuoteSnob has given prior written consent for your use of our protected material in accordance with our above "Copyright" and "Trademarks" provisions, we may revoke that consent at any time. If we so request, demand, yell, pontificate, or filibuster, we may require that you immediately take action to remove from circulation, display, publication, or other dissemination, any of the marks, copyrighted content, or other materials that we previously consented for you to use.

Termination of Access

Termination of your access and/or Account(s) may include: (i) removal of access to the Subscription Services; (ii) at our sole discretion, the deletion of all of your Account information and other content associated with your Account (or any part thereof), including your Submissions; and (iii) barring further use of the Subscription Services. Any Termination shall not affect your obligations to us under these Terms. The provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive the suspension or Termination of your access to or use of the Site, your Account, or these Terms shall survive including, but not limited to the rights and licenses that you have granted hereunder, indemnities, releases, disclaimers, limitations on liability, provisions related to choice of law, arbitration and dispute resolution, no class action, no trial by jury, and all of the miscellaneous provisions set forth below.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL QuoteSnob, ITS CONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, CONTENT-PROVIDERS, AND OTHER SIMILAR ENTITIES, AND THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AND AGENTS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING (COLLECTIVELY, OUR "REPRESENTATIVES"), BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, ALLEGED UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY IN RELATION TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR OUR SERVICE, FOR REASONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FAILURE OF OUR SERVICE, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER TORT. TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW RESTRICTS THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE ONLY LIABLE TO YOU FOR THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT THE LAW RESTRICTS OUR LIABILITY TO, IF SUCH A MINIMUM EXISTS. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, IF QuoteSnob OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES IS FOUND LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY AS A RESULT OF ANY CLAIMS OR OTHER MATTERS ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SITE, OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ITS CONTENTS, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ALL SUCH CLAIMS AND OTHER MATTERS WILL NOT EXCEED $100 IN ANY CALENDAR YEAR.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our Representatives harmless for any claims by you or any third party which may arise from or relate to this Agreement or the provision of our service to you, including any damages caused by your use of the Site, its content and any services available on or through the Site or acceptance of the offers contained on it or your breach of these Terms. You also agree that you have a duty to defend us against such claims, and we may require you to pay for an attorney(s) of our choice in such cases. However, we reserve, and you grant to us, the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you hereunder. You agree that this indemnity extends to requiring you to pay for our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and disbursements. In the event of a claim such as one described in this paragraph, we may elect to settle with the party/parties making the claim, and you shall be liable for the damages as though we had proceeded with a trial.

Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in force in the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The offer and acceptance of this contract is deemed to have occurred in the State of Washington. You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement will be heard solely by a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Washington. If you bring a dispute in a manner other than in accordance with this section, in the words of George Herbert Walker Bush, "This will not stand, this aggression..." You agree that we may move to have it dismissed, and that you will be responsible for our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, car and kids' college tuition payments, and disbursements in doing so. Ok, so we're kidding about the car and kids' tuition... unless you want to pay for it (after all, Ivy league college is expensive). You agree that the prevailing party is entitled to all of its reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and disbursements from the unsuccessful party in any dispute. To the victor go the spoils!

Waiver Of Jury Trial

YOU HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Force Majeure

You agree that we are not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, attacks from outer space, postal disruption, communication disruption, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.

Waiver and Severability

Our waiver of any breach of this Agreement will not be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach. In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.

Assignment

You may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at our discretion.
