By using the Service, you consent to be bound by these terms as well as our Privacy Policy
1. Rights Associated with the Service
The Service is designed to help you find articles, publications, information and other content (the "content") that resides on sites not owned or controlled by Sequitur News. In particular, the Service displays excerpts of the content and provides brief descriptions of the content to help you identify the items of interest to you. When you select an item, you will be linked to the site on which that content appears. Sequitur News owns and retains all intellectual property rights to the Service. The software running the Service, the site design, the logos and other graphics, articles and other texts published by us as well as the database are protected by copyright and are property of Sequitur News or other third parties. Sequitur News does not claim ownership rights to the full content or to excerpts of third party content, which are instead held by the sites to which the Service links. Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access. You may not use content from our Services unless you obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law.
2. Use of the Service
You may only display the content for your own personal use (i.e., non-commercial use) and may not otherwise copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or publicly display any content. For example, you may not use the Service to sell a product or service; use the Service to increase traffic to your web site for commercial reasons, such as advertising sales; take the results from the Service and reformat and display them, or use any robot, spider, other device or manual process to monitor or copy any content from the Service. Do not misuse our Services for purposes or by means for which it was not intended. For example, don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. You may use our Services only as permitted by law. If you are uncertain whether your intended use of the Service is permissible, please contact us. In addition, Sequitur News shall have the right in its sole discretion to suspend or terminate the Service or your access to it. If you are using our Services on behalf of a business, that business accepts these terms.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (a) all registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (c) you are 13 years of age or older; (d) your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation. Your profile may be deleted and your membership may be terminated without warning, if we believe that you are under 13 years of age or if we believe that registration information is not truthful or accurate.
In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages, and other information. You may opt out of some of those communications.
3. Modifications of Terms
We have the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify users at least a week in advance before new Terms of Service go into effect. These terms may also be modified by separate agreement between you and Sequitur News.
4. Our Warranties and Disclaimers
We do our best to provide our Services and we hope that you will enjoy using them. But our Services are currently in beta mode, and there are certain things that we don’t promise about our Services.

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
