- Self Publishing Service
You recognize and accept that ieterna offers a non-moderated service which enables you to publish any information you want, subject to legal limitations and to policies stated herein, in the space provided (self publishing). - Non Commercial Use
The Service is for personal use only and may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors other than by ieterna, or as a formally approved business partner of ieterna. Any commercial use of the Service, including but not limited to collecting user information by any means is prohibited. Commercial advertisements, links and other forms of advertising or solicitation may result in the deletion of content and even of entire profiles without notice or warning and may also result in termination of User privileges. - Non-Moderated Service
ieterna provides the technology and infrastructure for the Service in a manner similar to how a telephone company provides its technology and infrastructure for its customers. Like them, we do not monitor User communications, and people may publish any content they want. However, we do set forth standards of behavior from both a legal and business standpoint in this Agreement. Any User found to be violating those standards may have action taken against them without notice which ranges from deletion of Content, to deletion of profiles, to being barred from the Service, and even to referrals to law enforcement authorities. And while ieterna does not maintain a practice of moderating the Service, we may at our discretion review text, photos, audio and video, and we may randomly or specifically review photo albums and journals even those which are otherwise password protected to the general public to check for compliance with the standards stated herein. That ieterna may do this, User agrees that this does not in any way form an obligation or expectation that ieterna will do this and, as such, User will not place any reliance on ieterna to moderate or otherwise keep the Service void of any illegal, illicit or otherwise objectionable Content. - Legal Documents
The Service is not meant as a substitute for, nor a repository of, any legal documents. Furthermore, no section of the Service is a place for a legal will or other such document. No employee, agent or representative of ieterna is in any way qualified to provide User with advice on any legal matter or document and User specifically agrees that no reliance will ever be made on any part of the Service, nor on any employee, agent or representative of ieterna. To create, store or archive a will or any other legal document, User agrees to ONLY rely on a licensed attorney who specializes in such matters and who has no affiliation with ieterna. - Representations and Warranties
