(1) DO
I REALLY NEED TO READ THIS? Yes, it is a binding legal contract.
Thank you for stopping
by LEASEHUNTER.COM. By viewing or otherwise using this site, you are
representing to us that you have read, understood, and agreed to the
Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (collectively, "conditions") that
follow. Your right to access and use the website extends only to the
degree to which you agree to and are complying with all of the terms set
out here.
Because these conditions
place important limitations on some rights, you are encouraged to have
your own legal counsel explain any that are not clear to you and to
advise you whether it would be better to accept these conditions so you
can view and use the site, or to refuse to agree and so give up the
option of viewing/using the site. Access to and use of this site
without your pre-agreement to all these conditions is unauthorized and
may be illegal, give us the right to sue you, or both. For example, the
federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. §1030, makes
unauthorized use and access a crime.
As used below, "us" and
"we" refers individually and jointly to LEASEHUNTER.COM and its owner,
Texas Outdoor Specialties, LLC. The question-and-answer format used is
for readability, not to limit meaning.
We may make and post
changes to these terms and policies without advance notice, for reasons
such as the evolving nature of the Internet and the law or comments from
people like you. Each new visit or other use of this site constitutes
an agreement to the latest version of this web page. Looking at the
"last updated" date may help you determine if you need to review this
page again for changes.
(2) WHO
OPERATES THIS SITE? Texas Outdoor Specialties, LLC does.
LEASEHUNTER.COM ("Leasehunter")
is one of the names under which Texas Outdoor Specialties, LLC does
business. As reflected by the name, we are a Texas-based limited
liability company ("LLC"). In the absence of special circumstances,
Texas and many other states generally do not allow someone who is suing
an LLC to reach through the LLC to individually sue any of its members,
managers, or employees, nor to try to recover assets other than those of
the LLC itself. In the unlikely event that you or someone on your
behalf does sue or initiate any other legal action against us, you will
name only us as parties. You will not name any member, manager,
employee, agent, or independent contractor of ours as a party to the
suit and will not seek to recover other than out of any assets belonging
to us as the limited liability company operating this website.
(3) WHOM DO I CONTACT WITH QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THE
SITE?
Click here to use our e-mail form for comments and
questions.
If you have issues of a
legal nature regarding the site (other than requests to interpret these
terms of use and privacy policy), you instead will be sending your
communication to the Schleicher Law Firm, PLLC/8283 Bosque Blvd./Waco,
TX 76712, by U.S. Mail, certified, with return receipt requested. You
will let us know within 30 (thirty) days of viewing it if you come
across material on this site that you believe to be inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise improper, also providing a copy of the
material. The law firm also is the agent for purposes of serving
notices under the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation
Act.
(4) DO
I HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO VIEW AND USE THIS SITE? No.
As mentioned earlier, you cannot view or use this
site unless you have agreed to these terms and policies. Further, we
reserve the right to deny access to this website, or any service
provided through this website, to anyone who we believe to have violated
or who we expect to violate the terms and policies or who, in our
judgment, interferes with the ability of others to enjoy this website,
or infringes the rights of others, or for any other reason not
specifically prohibited by law. If we decide to limit your access, we
do not have to explain why.
(5) WHO OWNS THE COPYRIGHTS AND OTHER
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FOR THIS SITE?
We do for most of it; others may as to
the rest.
Based on your
representation that you understand and agree to these conditions, we
have given you a limited license to use this site, but retain our
intellectual property rights in it. The materials available through
Leasehunter are our property, of others as indicated, or both, and are
covered by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.
You can display and print them for your personal use, but not as part of
operating your own business. Nor may you distribute them to others.
You will not pass on any information obtained from this site except in
furtherance of your personal and legitimate use of it. For example, you
will not e-mail information from it, nor paste it into another
document. These restrictions prohibit even the free redistribution of
material from our website.
On the other hand, we do
appreciate it when you tell your friends about us and encourage them to
visit the site. If you want to reproduce or make another use of
anything on the website, you will first contact us to see if you can
have our written permission to make an exception for you. We also
welcome you to link to this site so long as the page on which the link
appears does not suggest we sponsor or endorse your site, that we
otherwise are affiliated with you, nor offer material that is illegal or
patently offensive. Unless you have advance written approval from us,
you will not use in-line links, frames, or similar techniques to cause
any of our material to appear within your website or otherwise to
display it while the person viewing the information remains within your
website.
(6) WHO OWNS THE RIGHTS TO MATERIAL I SUBMIT TO THE SITE?
You grant us the copyright in it, but you retain unlimited
rights to use it for other purposes.
To best protect those
providing us with information from misuse of it by third-parties, you
designate us as the copyright owners of any material you submit to us,
with you retaining an unlimited license to make other uses of it. That
is, you assign us the copyright interests in it. This makes it easier
for us to pursue people and companies who repost it elsewhere without
your permission or ours. You still may freely submit the information to
others, even for sale, but we retain a copyright as to our use of it.
Our use of what you post
is without compensation to you beyond what you may receive from someone
deciding to lease the property. Your permission for us to use the
material extends to any format (Internet or otherwise) and to anyone
acting on our behalf. We may identify you as the source of the
information in such materials and may edit them as we deem appropriate
or not, such as to remove inappropriate content or to use only a portion
of a photo. You represent to us that you are the full owner of all
rights for any material you submit to us.
(7) ARE
THERE OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ISSUES I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT? Yes.
You will not use any
protected information (trademarked, copyrighted, etc.) from this website
without the advance written consent of its owner. Leasehunter.com is a
registered name in which we conduct business and you agree not to use it
or "Leasehunter" for any purpose but utilization of this website.
If you believe something
on this website violates your or someone else's copyright or other
intellectual property rights, please notify us through contact with our
legal counsel (see paragraph 3 above). If claiming a copyright
violation, you must comply with the notice requirements of the federal
Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act. To the greater
of any time period set out under that Act or (if allowed by law) 30
(thirty) days, you will allow us an opportunity to research whether the
material does in fact appear to be infringing before we are required to
remove it.
(8) ARE
THERE CONDITIONS MORE SPECIFICALLY APPLICABLE TO LISTINGS? Yes.
First, we reserve the
right to decline to accept any proposed listing or portion of one. We
may do so without identifying the reason to you, and even for no reason
at all, so long as it is not for a reason that would be illegal. We
also may decline to accept listings from a particular person or
organization and to place geographic limitations on which listings will
be included. We reserve the right to identify and categorize listings
in the manner that our own judgment leads us to consider appropriate.
Your sole remedy for any
complaint about how we have handled a listing is to withdraw it from
future listing and other uses. If that is what you wish to do, you
first will attempt to use the standard site features to remove it
yourself. If that does not work, you will use our e-mail form or other
contact information identified on the site to make a request. We expect
to have such listings removed within 15 (fifteen) days of receiving your
request, and hopefully sooner. Our liability for any error in a
listing further is limited to the amount, if any, that you paid us to
post or otherwise include it. As to other claims for damages, you agree
that our liability is limited to a refund of your membership fee.
As for your viewing and
use of listings submitted by others, you acknowledge that we have not
made any independent verification of the accuracy of the listing and
trustworthiness of those who submitted the listing, and we make no
representation that a listing will meet your particular needs or wants.
Instead, the listings are more in the nature of classified advertising,
where both the buyer and seller themselves bear the responsibility for
ensuring that they receive what they intended to get.
Even so, should you
experience any serious problems with a listing or someone responding to
a listing, you will notify us within 30 (thirty) days so that we can
determine in our judgment how best to respond in regard to continued use
of our site by the person or company with whom you had the problem.
You will not hold us
liable for any such problems with third-parties, instead seeking relief
only from the person or company that directly engaged in the wrongdoing
that harmed you. You acknowledge the danger that someone may use a
fraudulent listing solely to assist him- or herself in committing
wrongdoing. For example, while we hope it will not happen, it could be
that an apparently legitimate listing might turn out to be used solely
to collect personal information for identity theft. You will exercise
caution in providing personal and financial information to those
offering listings.
Among the steps you
might take to reduce the likelihood of being subject to a fraudulent
listing are: (1) promptly informing us if you encounter serious problems
as a result of a listing, so that we may determine whether to try to
restrict the future use of our site by the alleged offender; (2) being
cautious of listings that sound "too good to be true" (3) asking the
property owner for recent references; (4) attempting to independently
verify that the property address, owner name, and owner contact
information match; (5) considering whether the person offering a listing
seeks too much financial or personal information or requires a
substantially higher up-front payment than others with similar listings;
(6) asking about any policy the lister may offer regarding refunds; (7)
not disclosing information that should not be necessary to process a
payment, such as social security number or date of birth; and (8)
safeguarding your login and password from disclosure and regularly
changing them.
We do not accept
advertising that we know to discriminate or that intends to discriminate
based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or
familial status. If you believe a listing violates this policy, please
notify our legal counsel as identified in paragraph (3) above. We are
not responsible for errors or omissions in listings, but expect those
submitting them to verify the accuracy of any claims made in them. This
is a family-oriented website and when we receive legitimate complaints
about the content of a listing, we expect to modify or delete them as
needed.
(10) DO
YOU GUARANTEE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES INCLUDED ON THE SITE? No.
We use this website
primarily as a forum for those with property available for lease to make
connections with those who desire to lease property. At times we may
conclude it is beneficial to provide links to other websites, products,
and services. Unless specifically indicated at the link, we make no
representation as to the value, safety, reliability, or other benefits
offered through such links. Some of these links may be included as a
result of compensation to us for listing them. You are responsible for
independently investigating the appropriateness of conducting business
and exchanging information with any persons or companies other than us
that you reach through such links. You will not hold us liable for any
problems you experience with a company, product, or service merely
because we provided a link to it or it was featured in an advertisement
on this site.
We have tried to make
this website as automated as possible so that the information offered is
up-to-date, so there is a lessened risk of errors being introduced by us
in posting the listings, and so as many listings as possible are
available without requiring our personal attention to each.
Nonetheless, with any such business, and in spite of our efforts to the
contrary, some users of the site are certain to end up disappointed and
others feeling that they did not receive what they expected.
(11) ARE THERE OTHER CONDITIONS REGARDING LIABILITY?
Yes, our responsibility is further limited by the
disclaimers that follow.
You view and use this
site at your own risk. YOU ALONE BEAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY HARM OR
LOSS YOU SUFFER AS A RESULT OF USE OF THIS SITE. We do attempt to take
action to stop any use of this site that in our judgment is or may
appear to be fraudulent, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. But
you acknowledge that despite such efforts, there still may be occasions
when listings are inaccurate or a person contacting a person with a
listing may not follow through on using the property or may use the
property without making payment for that use. If that happens to you,
you agree you will not make us a party to any legal dispute that
results.
If someone else sues us
because of something you are alleged to have done or failed to do, you
agree to indemnify us fully from any costs of defense, settlements,
judgments, and other expenses and payments. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE ARE SUED
BECAUSE OF THE INACCURACIES OR INAPPROPRIATENESS OF YOUR LISTING, OR
BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO MAKE PAYMENT FOR USE OF A LISTED PROPERTY,
YOU WILL END UP PAYING ALL THE COSTS AND EXPENSES WE INCUR AS RESULT,
EVEN THOUGH WE WILL USE LAWYERS OF OUR OWN CHOOSING TO DEFEND US. This
extends even to our legal fees or any amount we might pay as the result
of a settlement or a judgment. You also agree to pay any legal fees and
costs we incur in attempting to get you to comply with these
indemnification provisions.
We specifically disclaim
warranties. LEASEHUNTER.COM AND ALL INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES
AVAILABLE THROUGH IT ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
"WITH ALL FAULTS," AND ONLY "AS AVAILABLE." We do not guarantee anything
listed or offered will be available when you need or want it. WE MAKE
NO WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF INFORMATION PROVIDED,
NOR THAT IT COMPLIES WITH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND LAWS. WE
ALSO DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. While we plan to periodically undertake efforts to
see that this is the case, computer security is an ever-evolving field
and so WE DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SITE AND PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
IT OFFERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. You agree to
independently verify that any information you access or download related
to this website is free of harmful content.
The limitations on our
liability also mean that YOU AND ANYONE SUING ON YOUR BEHALF OR
OTHERWISE BECAUSE OF SOME HARM THAT IS CLAIMED TO ARISE FROM USE OF THE
SITE WILL NOT EVER SEEK RELIEF FROM US GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT THAT YOU
PAID TO USE OUR SERVICES (e.g., not the amount you paid for use of a
property being leased) IN THE YEAR IN WHICH THE ALLEGED INJURY IS CLAIM
TO HAVE ARISEN. So, for example, if you used only our free services,
you could not recover damages from us. As another example, if you had a
one-year membership and sued us that year, your damages would be limited
to recovery of the cost of that one-year membership. AS WELL, IN NO
CASE WILL WE OR ANYONE AFFILIATED WITH US BE LIABLE TO YOU OR SOMEONE
ACTING ON YOUR BEHALF OR OTHERWISE BECAUSE OF HARM THAT IS CLAIMED TO
HAVE BEEN SUFFERED BY YOU FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, PUNITIVE/EXEMPLARY, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, EVEN IF WE ARE ADVISED
BEFOREHAND OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. (NOT ALL STATES ALLOW
SUCH LIMITATIONS ON DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THESE DAMAGE LIMITATIONS
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.)
(12) DO
YOU MONITOR USE OF THE WEBSITE? Sometimes.
While we may not review
every posting, communication, or transaction that occurs, we reserve the
right to do so. For example, if we have suspicions of fraud or misuse,
we may monitor what someone might mistakenly assume is a private use of
the website for communication between two people. We also may do random
monitoring, such as checking in periodically to sample how transactions
and communications are occurring, how someone views and uses the site,
and in response to complaints. We may monitor web traffic patterns and
collect information through the use of techniques such as a WHOIS
lookup, search for use of your e-mail address elsewhere on the internet,
and reverse IP address inquiry. We may do this not only to gauge use of
our website and ensure such use is consistent with our policies and
conditions, but also in response to a request from law enforcement,
under court order, when we deem it appropriate as a means of attempting
to protect the rights or property of others, and otherwise to promote
our legitimate business interests.
(13)
ARE THERE CERTAIN THINGS THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ALLOW? Yes.
While there are many
more improper and unauthorized uses than we could provide in a single
list, below are some of the more obvious ones. Engaging in such
activities is one of the possible reasons we might limit or ban your
future use of this website and other services and products we offer.
YOU ALSO AGREE TO FULLY INDEMNIFY US FROM ANY CLAIMS MADE BY OTHERS AS A
RESULT OF YOU UNDERTAKING ANY OF THESE PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES.
● Misrepresenting facts about: your identity; property
available for lease and other things and services you might offer
through the site; your ability to pay for what you obtain through the
site; your history with other buyers, sellers, leasers, and users; your
compliance with these conditions; your purposes in using the site; the
origin of content you submit or offer; or your affiliation or our
affiliation with others.
● Communication of information that is: lewd, pornographic, or
otherwise of a sexual nature; threatening, appearing to be stalking in
nature, harassing, or otherwise harmful; discriminatory; libelous or
otherwise defamatory; unlawful; off-topic; intended to promote other
commercial ventures (beyond the expected uses of listing properties);
confidential, proprietary to others, or otherwise improper for you to
disclose.
● Using the site to gather
information for spamming, whether of e-mail addresses, fax numbers, or
otherwise; using it to store or collect other personal data about
others; or taking our lease postings for your own paid or free use on
another website. You agree to liquidated damages (that is, a
current, educated guess about future damages to provide some certainty
before the damages actually arise) of $500 (five hundred dollars) for
each user for whom you obtain individually-identifiable information
(e.g., one e-mail address) and an additional $500 (five hundred dollars)
for each one that can be shown to have been actually used by you or
someone else because of you. You also agree to liquidated damages of
$500 per lease listing that you improperly distribute to others. These
agreed damages for breach of our contract terms are in addition to any
we might recover otherwise, such as under copyright law.
● Submitting material that is harmful to the website, us, or
other users. Among such material would be computer code, macros, worms,
viruses, Trojan horses, and auto-dialers.
● Violating any applicable international, national, state,
or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, or policy. Among such laws
are those regarding exporting of technology.
● Accessing the website without full authorization and
payment or by any other means that is not ordinary, expected, and
generally permissible in using such sites.
● Using false or expired logins, passwords, or applying
automated password generator.
● Any other violation of the terms of this website.
(14)
ARE THERE AGE RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF THE WEBSITE? Yes.
You represent to us that
you are at least 13 (thirteen) years old and that if you are making any
purchase from or through the site, that you are at least 18 (eighteen)
years of age or otherwise have the legal ability to enter into a binding
contract.
(15) HOW AND WHERE WILL DISPUTES
BETWEEN YOU AND US BE RESOLVED?
Likely under Texas and U.S. law, in a
court in Houston, Texas or Waco, Texas.
You will notify us if
you have any complaints or concerns, such as through use of our e-mail
form, within 30 (thirty) days of the issue arising. This deadline
applies so that we have an adequate opportunity to research the facts
while they are still fresh. Use of this website, these conditions, and
any other matter arising out of our relationship is—to the maximum
extent allowed by law—to be governed by the laws of Texas, but without
application of its choice of law rules. Our offering of these
conditions, your review and acceptance of them, any payment made related
to the website, and performance of this agreement, all are considered to
have occurred in Texas, so long as permitted by law. In other words, in
the absence of a specific requirement in the law to the contrary, if we
have a legal dispute, it will be resolved by applying Texas law and must
be filed within a court in the state of Texas. Also to the maximum
extent permitted by law, suit must be filed in your choice of either
Harris County (i.e., Houston area) and McLennan County (i.e., Waco
area). If it is we who first file suit, we also may choose between the
state and federal courts in those counties. Also see the important
limitations on damages in paragraph 13.
(16)
CAN I SHARE MY ACCOUNT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY? No.
Any membership you have
with us and any other access or use of the website is personal to you as
an individual. You agree not to let others sign in using your
name/login/password and to be careful in protecting that information
from being used by others. You may not sell, assign, or otherwise
transfer your membership or login information to anyone else and if your
membership is in effect at the time of your death, it expires at that
moment. You agree to notify us of others using your account. You agree
to be responsible financially and legally for anyone else who uses your
account due to you purposefully or carelessly allowing them access to
it. We will cancel your membership if we discover it is shared.
(17) DO
YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL PRIVACY POLICIES THAT APPLY TO USE OF THE WEBSITE?
Yes.
In addition to any
matters related to privacy issues above, the following also applies.
This applies to information collected through the website, not that you
send through other means.
(a) Basic Policy - We
generally attempt to collect the minimum amount of information necessary
to confirm your identity and to provide services and products through
the site, connect those offering and wanting to use lease properties,
and verify compliance with our conditions and other policies. We
will not intentionally sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your personal
or financial information to anyone not affiliated with us without your
approval. If we suspect you are engaging in improper activity in
relation to the site, we may collect detailed information about you as
part of investigation the matter. For example, we may seek to identify
your true name, location, IP addresses used, hosting service through
which you have internet access, internet and email service providers,
and all uses you make of the site.
(b) You Decide What
to Share - You must decide the appropriate balance for you between
the fact that the more information you provide us, the more we may be
able to personalize services and products to your interests, versus the
fact that the more information that is disclosed, the less privacy you
will have and the higher the chances that some third-party will gain
access to it without your permission. Some promotions may require you
to provide particular information, but for things such as newsletters
and automated notifications, we will attempt not to send these to you
unless you have specifically indicated you want them. It is possible
that we occasionally may make a mistake in that regard, such that you
would need to notify us of it and then we would remove you from the list
as promptly as is feasible.
(c) Information
Collected - We may collect your name, address, phone number, and
other standard contact information. We also may collect financial
information. For example, if you join our website and place an order,
you may be asked to complete an order form and for information necessary
to process payments. While financial and personal information generally
is collected by outright asking you for it, some information we may
collect without a direct request. For example, we may collect your IP
address as part of analyzing website usage and traffic patterns. We may
attempt a WHOIS lookup or reverse IP identification if in our judgment
you appear to be attempting to misuse the website. We may store
information about you and use it to offer you additional products or
services, or for purposes such as responding to orders and comments. We
also may store information such as credit card numbers, expiration
dates, billing addresses, etc., such as when you have agreed to
automatic renewals of memberships.
(d) Questions or
Comments - If you want to contact us specifically about our privacy
policies, you will do so by contacting our law firm identified in
paragraph (3) above.
(e) Use by Minors -
As noted earlier, we limit use of the free portions of this website to
those at least 13 (thirteen) years old and portions requiring payments
to those at least 18 (eighteen) years of age. You agree not to let
children under your care use this site except in compliance with these
age restrictions and the overall conditions. You also agree to ensure
that they use caution in not using or misusing this site to provide
information to others who may use it for improper purposes. Users who
are under 18 (eighteen) are not to provide us with any personally
identifying information. (Also see paragraph 16 above about allowing
others to use your account.)
(f) Links - By
way of links, advertisements, or other connections, you may be
transferred from our site to those of other people and organizations.
Those sites also may collect information from you, possibly without you
knowing it. You should consult the privacy policies of each of those
websites regarding your interactions with them as they may be different
from ours and we make no representations or warranties as to what
information they may collect or what they may do with it.
(g) Cookies - At
some point we may place cookies on your computer, such as to prevent you
from having to re-login each time you access our website. Most internet
browsers allow you to specify that you wish to block cookies either at
all times or on a case-by-case basis. If you do not activate such
blocking options on your computer, you agree to accept our cookies. If
you access another website, such as by a link on ours, they may have
different policies regarding cookies. Cookies generally do not read
unrelated data on your computer, but if we use them, they may store
personalization information and help our system remember things such as
which pages on our website you already viewed and how often. Other
technologies allowing counting of the total number of people that have
viewed a particular page and we may include graphics in things such as
e-mailed newsletters that allow us to confirm whether or not they have
been viewed. We also may use cookies and other technologies to assist
us in processing and tracking purchases you make through the website.
(h) Computer
Information - Our website may automatically determine your system,
such as browser, operating system, and screen resolution, and your IP
address, as part of maximizing your experience in using our website.
(i) Other
Uses/Collections - While we have attempted to be comprehensive in
setting out the types of information we collect and how we may use it,
there may be others that are or become standard to operators of
commercial websites or particular software that also apply.
Additionally, because the website may be supported in part by
advertising revenue, we may provide general information to potential
advertisers about the number of uses we have and generally where they
are located. We will not provide your individual name or home address
as the part of any such disclosure. Finally, we may disclose
information collected about you in response to what appears to be a
legitimate request from law enforcement or under court order.
(j) Removal – To
have information collected about you deleted from our systems (to the
extent possible to do so and still provide you the products and services
you want), please use our e-mail form to make your request.
(k) Off-Site Storage -
We may use off-site storage services and other contractors for web
hosting and development services, backup, and order/payment processing.
We may have to disclose information to such parties and/or have it
stored on their systems as part of operating this website. We will
exercise some care in selecting these services and contractors, but
cannot promise that they always will be perfect in protecting your
personal information. If for some reason they do disclose something
that they should not have, you agree that any claim you make will be
against them directly and you only would hold us liable if it was
extremely clear that we should have known better than to use the
service/contractor in the first place. In spite of efforts at security,
it may be a hacker or other criminal will be able to get into our system
or those of someone else who maintains data for us. You agree not to
hold us responsible for criminal conduct committed by third parties.
