protected by international copyright,
trademark and other intellectual property
laws. Unless otherwise specified, the

OurMaine.com agrees to provide you with
information and other computer services
subject to these Terms of Service. You agree
to use the Service in accordance with these
Terms of Service. Accessing our Service, in
any manner, for the purpose of obtaining
information, technical or otherwise, about
the Service constitutes use of the Service
such that the party accessing the Service is
bound by these Terms of Service. Because the
Web is an evolving medium, we may need to
change these Terms of Service or impose new
conditions on use of the Service, from time
to time, in which case we will post the
revised Terms of Service on this website. By
continuing to use the Service after we post
any such changes, you accept the Terms of
Service, as modified.
You may establish a hypertext link to this
Service so long as the link does not state
or imply any sponsorship of your site by
OurMaine.com. However, you may not, without
the prior written permission of
OurMaine.com, frame any of the content of
the Service, or incorporate into another
website or other service any intellectual
property of OurMaine.com, its parent or
affiliate companies or its licensors.

Disclaimers
This Service includes links and pointers to

expressly assume all risk for such use.
Online Commerce
In addition, OurMaine.com may allow you to
purchase different types of products and
services online that are provided by third
parties. OurMaine.com is not responsible for
the quality, accuracy, timeliness,
reliability or any other aspect of these
products and services. If you make a
purchase from a merchant on the OurMaine.com
or on a site linked to by OurMaine.com the
information obtained during your visit to
that merchant’s online store or site, and
the information that you give as part of the
transaction, such as your credit card number
and contact information, is collected by the
merchant. A merchant may have separate
privacy and data collection practices.
OurMaine.com has no responsibility or
liability for these independent policies.
For more information regarding a merchant,
its online store, and its privacy policies,
return to that merchant's home page and
click on its information links or contact
the merchant website directly. You release
OurMaine.com and its affiliates from any
damages that you incur, and agree not to
assert any claims against them, arising from
your purchase or use of any products or
services made available by third parties
through OurMaine.com.
When you purchase products or services on or
through OurMaine.com, you may be subject to
additional terms and conditions that
specifically apply to your purchase or use

any questions about these additional terms
and conditions, you should contact the
merchant of such products or services
directly.
You agree to be financially responsible for
all purchases made by you or someone acting
on your behalf through the Service. You
agree to use the Service and to purchase
services or products through the Service for
legitimate, non-commercial purposes only.
You also agree not to make any purchases for
speculative, false or fraudulent purposes or
for the purpose of anticipating demand for a
particular product or service. You agree to
only purchase goods or services for yourself
or for another person for whom you are
legally permitted to do so. When making a
purchase for a third party that requires you
to submit the third party’s personal
information to OurMaine.com or a merchant,
you represent that you have obtained the
express consent of such third party to
provide such third party’s personal
information.
Use of Company Directories

obtaining permission from the owner or right
holder.

damage arising from your failure to protect
your password or account information.
Classified Advertising
When you submit a classified ad for
publication on OurMaine.com, you agree that
the advertisement as it appears on
OurMaine.com becomes the property of
OurMaine.com and you assign all ownership
interest in the advertisement as it appears
on the Service under copyright law or
otherwise to OurMaine.com. Submission of an
advertisement does not constitute a
commitment to publish the advertisement, and
publication of an advertisement does not
constitute an agreement for continued
publication. We will accept only standard
abbreviations and required proper
punctuation. OurMaine.com reserves the right
to edit, reclassify, revise, reject or
cancel any advertisement at any time, in its
sole discretion. Rates and specifications
are subject to change.
Real Estate Advertisements; Equal Housing
Opportunity
All real estate advertised herein is subject
to the Federal Fair Housing Act, which makes
it illegal to advertise "any preference,
limitation, or discrimination because of
race, color, religion, sex, handicap,
familial status, or national origin, or
intention to make any such preference,
limitation, or discrimination." State law
may also forbid discrimination based on
these factors and others. We will not
knowingly accept any advertising for real
estate which is in violation of the law. All
persons are hereby informed that all
dwellings advertised are available on an
equal opportunity basis. To complain of
discrimination call the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development at
800-669-9777.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances, including, but not
limited to, negligence, shall OurMaine.com,
its subsidiary and parent companies or
affiliates be liable for any direct,
indirect, incidental, special or
consequential damages that result from the
use of, or the inability to use,
OurMaine.com materials, products, or
services, or third party materials,
products, or services made available through
the Service, or any part of the Service,
even if OurMaine.com is advised beforehand
of the possibility of such damages. (Because
some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of certain categories of damages,
the above limitation many not apply to you.
In such states, the liability of
OurMaine.com, its subsidiary and parent
companies or affiliates is limited to the
fullest extent permitted by such state law.)
You specifically acknowledge and agree that
OurMaine.com is not liable for any
defamatory, offensive or illegal conduct of
any user. If you are dissatisfied with any
OurMaine.com materials, products, or
services, or with any of OurMaine.com's
terms and conditions, your sole and
exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the
Service.
Termination
OurMaine.com may cancel or terminate your
right to use the Service or any part of the
Service at any time without notice. In the
event of termination, you are no longer
authorized to access the part of the Service
affected by such cancellation or
termination. The restrictions imposed on you
with respect to material downloaded from the
Service, and the disclaimers and limitations
of liabilities set forth in these Terms of
Service, shall survive.
Other
This agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between OurMaine.com and you with
respect to the subject matter contained in
this agreement and supersedes all previous
and contemporaneous agreements, proposals
and communications, written oral. You also
may be subject to additional terms and
conditions that may apply when you use the
products or services of a third party that
are provided through the Service. In the
event of any conflict between any such third
party terms and conditions and these Terms
of Service, these Terms of Service shall
govern. This agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New Hampshire without giving
effect to any principles or conflicts of
law. If any provision of this agreement
shall be unlawful, void or for any reason
unenforceable, then that provision shall be
deemed severable from this agreement and
shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions. |
