NewsDemon a une politique de tolérance zéro concernant le matériel d'abus sexuel d'enfants (CSAM) et l'exploitation de mineurs.

We are committed to the safety and protection of children. In accordance with federal law, including the PROTECT Our Children Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, and other applicable statutes, NewsDemon complies fully with all reporting obligations regarding apparent violations involving the sexual exploitation of children.

If we become aware of the existence of any content that constitutes or appears to constitute child sexual abuse material, we will promptly report such content and all available identifying information to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) through their CyberTipline, and will cooperate fully with NCMEC and applicable law enforcement agencies.

Any user found to be involved in the distribution, possession, or solicitation of CSAM will have their account immediately and permanently terminated, and all known information will be provided to the appropriate authorities.

Reporting: If you encounter content on the Usenet network accessed through NewsDemon that you believe involves the sexual exploitation of a minor, please report it immediately to [email protected]. Please include as much identifying information as possible, including Message-IDs if available. You may also report directly to the NCMEC CyberTipline at www.cybertipline.org.

NewsDemon respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any of our intellectual property without prior written consent.

The Usenet network is a decentralized system, and content posted to Usenet newsgroups is created and owned by its respective authors. NewsDemon claims no ownership of user-generated content accessed or posted through the Service.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, NewsDemon disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. We do not warrant that any content available on the Usenet network will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any purpose. Usenet content is created by third-party users, and NewsDemon is not responsible for its accuracy, legality, or quality.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In such jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NewsDemon and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if NewsDemon has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall NewsDemon's total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service exceed the greater of fifty U.S. dollars ($50.00) or the total amounts you have paid to NewsDemon in the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Exceptions: Nothing in this section shall limit NewsDemon's liability for (a) gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, (c) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or (d) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, the above limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NewsDemon and K&L Technologies, Inc., and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising directly from:

• Your violation of these Terms
• Your use of the Service in a manner that violates any applicable law or regulation
• Your infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any third party
• Any content you post or distribute through the Service

This indemnification obligation survives termination of your account and these Terms. NewsDemon will provide you with reasonable notice of any such claim and will cooperate with your defense at your expense.

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

14.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith negotiation for a period of at least sixty (60) days from the date of your initial contact.

14.2 Binding Arbitration

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, you and NewsDemon agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this section.

14.3 Arbitration Procedures

• Governing Rules: The arbitration shall be conducted under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, which are available at www.adr.org.
• Venue: The arbitration shall take place in Greenville County, South Carolina, or, at your election, may be conducted by telephone or videoconference.
• Fees: For claims of $10,000 or less, NewsDemon will pay all AAA filing and arbitrator fees. For claims exceeding $10,000, filing and arbitrator fees will be allocated as determined by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Each party shall bear its own attorney fees unless the arbitrator awards fees to the prevailing party as permitted by law.
• Arbitrator Authority: The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award.

14.4 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

You and NewsDemon each waive the right to a trial by jury. You and NewsDemon each agree that disputes will be resolved solely on an individual basis and not as part of any class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

14.5 Small Claims Court Exception

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in Greenville County, South Carolina (or in the small claims court of your county of residence), provided the claim is within the court's jurisdictional limits.

14.6 Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement. You may opt out by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of creating your NewsDemon account. Your notice must include your name, email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, you and NewsDemon retain all rights to pursue claims in court. Opting out of arbitration will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

14.7 Survival

This arbitration agreement survives termination of your account and these Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. To the extent that any legal proceeding is permitted outside of arbitration (as set forth in Section 14), you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Greenville County, South Carolina.

NewsDemon reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any material changes to the Service.

In the event that we discontinue the Service entirely, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to active account holders. NewsDemon shall have no obligation to issue refunds in the event of a service discontinuation.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting [email protected] or through your account dashboard. NewsDemon may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity, or if required to do so by law.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 7 (Child Safety), 8 (Copyright/DMCA), 9 (Privacy), 11 (Disclaimers), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Indemnification), 14 (Arbitration), and 15 (Governing Law) shall survive termination.

NewsDemon shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms to the extent that such failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, pandemics, government actions, power outages, internet disruptions, or failures of third-party infrastructure providers.

19.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and NewsDemon with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether oral or written.

19.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

19.3 Waiver

The failure of NewsDemon to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of NewsDemon.

19.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any rights or obligations under these Terms, without our prior written consent. NewsDemon may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, provided the assignee agrees to be bound by these Terms.

19.5 Notices

We may provide notices to you by email to the address associated with your account, by posting notices on our website, or by other reasonable means. You are responsible for ensuring that your email address on file is current. Notices from you to NewsDemon should be sent to [email protected].

19.6 Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights in any individual or entity that is not a party to these Terms.
