1. OUR SERVICES

The Voice of Lakewood provides a website and related services in connection with our free weekly magazine and related business operations. The information provided on our Services is for general informational purposes only.

Our Services are operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws.

The Services are not intended for use in connection with any activities that would require us to comply with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA, FISMA, or GLBA. You may not use the Services in a way that would subject us to such requirements unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

We own or license all intellectual property rights in and to the Services, including the website, text, graphics, logos, photographs, layout, design, and other content made available through the Services (collectively, the "Content"), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "Marks").

The Content and Marks are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws in the United States and other jurisdictions.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use.

Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any part of the Services, Content, or Marks without our prior written permission.

If you would like permission to use any content from our Services, please contact us at [email protected].

3. USER REPRESENTATIONS

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:

• any information you submit to us will be true, accurate, current, and complete;
• you will maintain the accuracy of such information and promptly update it as necessary;
• you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms;
• you will not use the Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose; and
• your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

If you provide information that is false, inaccurate, or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services.

4. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

You may not access or use the Services for any purpose other than that for which we make them available. As a user of the Services, you agree not to:

• use the Services in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems;
• interfere with the operation, security, or functionality of the Services;
• upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
• use bots, scrapers, or automated means to access the Services without authorization;
• copy, adapt, or reverse engineer any part of the Services except as permitted by law;
• use the Services to harass, abuse, defraud, threaten, or mislead any person; or
• use the Services in a way that harms our reputation or business operations.

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who violates this section.

5. TEXT MESSAGING TERMS

If you provide your mobile phone number and expressly consent to receive text messages from us, you agree that The Voice of Lakewood may send you text messages relating to delivery, service-related updates, and related customer care communications.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP or contact us at [email protected] or (732) 901-5746.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of receiving our free weekly magazine or using our Services.

You agree to provide a mobile number that you own or are authorized to use, and you are responsible for any messages sent to or received from that number.

We do not guarantee that text messages will be delivered successfully or on time, as delivery depends on your wireless carrier and other factors outside our control.

SMS Consent Privacy. SMS opt-in data, consent records, and related mobile information will not be sold, shared, or disclosed to third parties for marketing purposes unrelated to providing the messaging services you have requested.

6. PRIVACY POLICY

We care about privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy at https://thevoiceoflakewood.com/about/privacypolicy/. By using the Services, you agree that your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

7. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Services.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, to deny access to and use of the Services to any person for any reason or no reason, including for breach of these Terms or any applicable law.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms.

8. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time and for any reason, without notice.

We do not guarantee that the Services will always be available. We may experience interruptions, delays, or errors due to maintenance, technical issues, or causes beyond our control.

We are not liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any interruption or discontinuance.

9. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Any legal action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Any claim you may have arising out of or relating to the Services must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, or such claim is permanently barred to the extent permitted by law.

11. DISCLAIMER

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND YOUR USE OF THEM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT ON THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.

12. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US, IF ANY.

Because your magazine subscription is free, that amount will usually be zero.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

13. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Voice of Lakewood and its officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and service providers from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to:

• your use of the Services;
• your breach of these Terms;
• your violation of applicable law; or
• your infringement of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights.

14. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

16. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.
