Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are PC Media Tech (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our“).

We operate the website https://pctechmedia.com (the “Site“), as well as any related products and services that refer or link to these terms (collectively, the “Services“).

You can contact us by email at pctechmedia@pctechmedia.com.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and PC Media Tech concerning your access to and use of the Services. By accessing the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Legal Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use immediately.

We may update these Legal Terms from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Services after any updates are posted means you accept the revised terms.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.

We recommend that you print a copy of these Legal Terms for your records.

1. Our Services

The information provided through the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction where such use would violate law or regulation or subject us to registration requirements in that jurisdiction. Users who access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA, FISMA, or GLBA. If your use would be subject to those laws, you may not use the Services.

2. Intellectual Property Rights

Our intellectual property

We own or license all intellectual property rights in the Services, including source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, text, photographs, graphics, audio, video, and other content (collectively, the “Content“), along with the trademarks, service marks, and logos used in the Services (the “Marks“).

Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws in the United States and around the world.

The Content and Marks are provided “AS IS” for your personal, non-commercial use or internal business purposes only.

Your use of our Services

Subject to your compliance with these Legal Terms, including the Prohibited Activities section below, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:

Except as expressly provided, no part of the Services and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our prior written permission.

If you wish to make any use of the Services, Content, or Marks beyond what is permitted here, please contact us at pctechmedia@pctechmedia.com.

Note: The original export also included the stray term “Affiliate Marketing” as a bullet item. That appears to be template residue rather than a properly written restriction, so it should be reviewed before publishing.

5. User Generated Contributions

The Services may give you the opportunity to create, submit, post, display, transmit, publish, distribute, or otherwise make available content and materials, including text, images, audio, video, comments, suggestions, or other material (collectively, “Contributions”).

• are not false, misleading, obscene, abusive, defamatory, or unlawful;

Any use of the Services that violates the foregoing may result in termination or suspension of your right to use the Services.

6. Contribution License

By submitting suggestions or feedback, you agree that we may use and share that feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.

7. Third-Party Websites and Content

The Services may contain links to third-party websites and third-party content. We do not investigate, monitor, or check these third-party resources for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness, and we are not responsible for them. Your use of third-party websites or content is at your own risk.

8. Advertisers

We may allow advertisers to display advertisements and other information in certain areas of the Services, such as banner ads or sidebar ads. We simply provide the space and do not otherwise endorse or manage advertiser offerings.

9. Services Management

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the Services for violations of these Legal Terms, take legal action where appropriate, restrict access, remove burdensome content, and otherwise manage the Services in a way that protects our rights and supports proper functioning.

10. Privacy Policy

We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy at https://pctechmedia.com/privacy-policy/.

11. Term and Termination

These Legal 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 for any reason, including any breach of these Legal Terms or applicable law. We may also delete any content or information you posted at any time.

12. Modifications and Interruptions

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time without notice. We do not guarantee the Services will always be available and are not liable for interruptions, delays, errors, or downtime.

13. Governing Law

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the state identified in the final published version of these terms. The source you provided still contains blanks in this section, so this must be completed before publishing.

14. Dispute Resolution

Informal Negotiations

The parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, disputes will generally be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless an exception applies.

Restrictions

Arbitration is limited to disputes between the parties individually. No class actions or representative proceedings are permitted to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Exceptions

Certain disputes, including claims involving intellectual property, theft, privacy invasion, unauthorized use, or injunctive relief, are excluded from arbitration.

Important: The original source still contains blanks for arbitration location, court venue, and governing state. Fill those before publishing.

15. Corrections

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.

16. 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, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

17. Limitations of Liability

19. User Data

We may maintain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing performance, as well as data relating to your use of the Services. Although we perform routine backups, you are solely responsible for your own data and waive any claim against us arising from loss or corruption of that data.

Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications and agree that such communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.

21. California Users and Residents
