Terms and Conditions

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Wel­come to AChildWrites.com, A Child Writes (the “Ser­vice”). Your use of the Ser­vice is sub­ject to these Terms of Ser­vice (“TOS”).  A Child Writes reserves the right to update and change the TOS from time to time with­out notice or accep­tance by you. The TOS will also be applic­a­ble to the use of the Ser­vice on a trial basis. By using the Ser­vice, you sig­nify your irrev­o­ca­ble accep­tance of this TOS, as amended by A Child Writes periodically.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
The Ser­vice is web-based and allows users that reg­is­ter for an account on the Ser­vice (an “Account Holder”) to cre­ate and update an online pro­file on A Child Writes’ Inter­net prop­erty. Once reg­is­tered with the Ser­vice, each Account Holder receives his or her own Pro­file to post “Con­tent” (as such term is defined in Sec­tion 7).  Unless explic­itly stated oth­er­wise, any new fea­tures that aug­ment or enhance the cur­rent Ser­vice, includ­ing the release of new A Child Writes tools and resources, shall be sub­ject to the TOS. In order to use the Ser­vice, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based con­tent.  In addi­tion, you must pro­vide all equip­ment nec­es­sary to make such con­nec­tion to the World Wide Web, includ­ing a com­puter and modem or other access device. You also under­stand and agree that the ser­vice may include cer­tain com­mu­ni­ca­tions from A Child Writes, such as ser­vice announce­ments, admin­is­tra­tive mes­sages and the A Child Writes Newslet­ter, and that these com­mu­ni­ca­tions are con­sid­ered part of A Child Writes mem­ber­ship.  You agree not to access the Ser­vice by any means other than through the inter­faces that are pro­vided by A Child Writes for use in access­ing the Service.

3. REGISTRATION
In order to use the Ser­vice, you must have a valid A Child Writes user­name. To be an Account Holder with your own Pro­file, you must pro­vide A Child Writes with your name, a valid email address and other infor­ma­tion (“Reg­is­tra­tion Data”). As an Account Holder, you will choose a pass­word and user­name for your Pro­file dur­ing the Service’s reg­is­tra­tion process. You are respon­si­ble for main­tain­ing the con­fi­den­tial­ity of the pass­word and account, and are fully respon­si­ble for all activ­i­ties that occur under your pass­word or account. You agree to (a) imme­di­ately notify A Child Writes in writ­ing of any unau­tho­rized use of your pass­word or account or any other breach of secu­rity, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each ses­sion. A Child Writes can­not and will not be liable for any loss or dam­age aris­ing from your fail­ure to com­ply with this Sec­tion 3. In con­sid­er­a­tion of use of the Ser­vice, you agree to: (a) pro­vide true, accu­rate, cur­rent and com­plete infor­ma­tion about your­self as prompted by the Service’s reg­is­tra­tion form, and (b) main­tain and promptly update the Reg­is­tra­tion Data to keep it true, accu­rate, cur­rent and com­plete. If you pro­vide any infor­ma­tion that is untrue, inac­cu­rate, not cur­rent or incom­plete, or A Child Writes has rea­son­able grounds to sus­pect that such infor­ma­tion is untrue, inac­cu­rate, not cur­rent or incom­plete, A Child Writes has the right to sus­pend or ter­mi­nate your account and refuse any and all cur­rent or future use of the Ser­vice (or any por­tion thereof). Users under 13 years of age must require a legal guardian to reg­is­ter them with ver­i­fi­ca­tion via delayed email through A Child Writes service.

4. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
If you can­cel the Ser­vice, your can­cel­la­tion will take effect imme­di­ately. After can­cel­la­tion, you will no longer have access to your Pro­file and all infor­ma­tion con­tained therein may be deleted by A Child Writes. A Child Writes accepts no lia­bil­ity for such deleted infor­ma­tion or con­tent.
You agree that A Child Writes, in its sole dis­cre­tion, may ter­mi­nate your pass­word, and/or account, and remove and dis­card any Con­tent within the Ser­vice (includ­ing, but not lim­ited to your Pro­file if you are an Account Holder), for any rea­son, includ­ing and with­out lim­i­ta­tion if A Child Writes believes that you have vio­lated or acted incon­sis­tently with the let­ter or spirit of the TOS. Any con­tracts, ver­bal or writ­ten or assumed, in con­junc­tion with your deleted Pro­file (as applic­a­ble) and all its parts, at A Child Writes’ dis­cre­tion, will be ter­mi­nated as well. A Child Writes may also in its sole dis­cre­tion and at any time, dis­con­tinue pro­vid­ing the Ser­vice, or any part thereof, with or with­out notice.

22. Mem­ber Dis­putes
Mem­ber Dis­putes. You are solely respon­si­ble for your inter­ac­tions with other A Child Writes mem­bers. A Child Writes reserves the right, but has no oblig­a­tion, to mon­i­tor dis­putes between you and other Members.

23. GENERAL
Notices to you may be made via either email or reg­u­lar mail. The Ser­vice may also pro­vide notices of changes to the TOS or other mat­ters by dis­play­ing notices or links to notices to you gen­er­ally on the Ser­vice. The TOS and the rela­tion­ship between you and A Child Writes shall be gov­erned by the laws of Wash­ing­ton State (USA) with­out regard to its con­flict of law pro­vi­sions. You and A Child Writes agree to sub­mit to the per­sonal and exclu­sive juris­dic­tion of the courts located within Texas State. The fail­ure of A Child Writes to exer­cise or enforce any right or pro­vi­sion of the TOS shall not con­sti­tute a waiver of such right or pro­vi­sion. The TOS con­sti­tutes the entire agree­ment between you and A Child Writes and gov­ern your use of the Ser­vice, super­sed­ing any prior agree­ments between you and A Child Writes (includ­ing, but not lim­ited to, any prior ver­sions of the TOS). You also may be sub­ject to addi­tional terms and con­di­tions that may apply when you use affil­i­ate or other A Child Writes ser­vices, third-party con­tent or third-party soft­ware. If any pro­vi­sion of the TOS or incor­po­rated doc­u­ments are found by a court of com­pe­tent juris­dic­tion to be invalid, the par­ties nev­er­the­less agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the par­ties’ inten­tions as reflected in the pro­vi­sion, and the other pro­vi­sions of the TOS remain in full force and effect. You agree that regard­less of any statute or law to the con­trary, any claim or cause of action aris­ing out of or related to use of the Ser­vice or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be for­ever barred. The sec­tion titles in the TOS are for con­ve­nience only and have no legal or con­trac­tual effect.
