Classifieds or its licensors be held liable for any delay or
failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from
acts of nature, forces, or causes beyond its reasonable

Requests for Removal of
Links or Cached Materials:
Asheville’s
Classifieds occasionally receives requests from people
to remove links from its indices. Although Asheville’s
Classifieds reserves the right to address such requests
individually, the general approach that Asheville’s
Classifieds takes reflects the following principles:
Asheville’s Classifieds indices consist of information that
has been identified, indexed and compiled through an
automated process with no advance review by human beings.
Given the enormous volume of web site information added,
deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, Asheville’s
Classifieds cannot and does not screen anything made
available through its indices. For each web site reflected
in Asheville's Classifieds indices, if either a site owner
restricts access to his or her web site or a site is taken
down from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by the
site owner or a third party in the second instance,
Asheville’s Classifieds would consider on a case-by-case
basis requests to remove the link to that site from its
indices. However, if the operator of the site does not take
steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create
the indices are likely to find that site and index it again
in a relatively short amount of time.
Hold Harmless and Indemnity:
You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Asheville’s
Classifieds, and its employees, agents and representatives,
from and against any third party claim arising from or in
any way related to your use of the service, including
without limitation any claim or demand, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising
out of content (including but not limited to User Editor
Content) you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make
available through the service, your use of the service, your
connection to the service, your violation of this Agreement,
or your violation of any rights of another. The foregoing
includes, without limitation, indemnity for any liability or
expense arising from all claims, losses, damages (actual and
consequential), suits, judgments, litigation costs and
attorneys' fees, of every kind and nature. In such a case,
Asheville’s Classifieds will provide you with written notice
of such claim, suit or action.
Release and Waiver:
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you
hereby release, and waive all claims against Asheville’s
Classifieds and its employees and agents from any and all
liability for claims, damages (actual and consequential),
costs and expenses (including litigation costs and
attorneys' fees) of every kind and nature, arising out of or
in any way connected with use of the service. "A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him must have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
Residents of other states and nations similarly waive their
rights under applicable and/or analogous laws, statutes, or
regulations.
Modifications of Terms:
Asheville’s
Classifieds shall have the right to modify the terms of this
Agreement at any time, which modification shall be effective
immediately upon posting. Accordingly, we suggest that you
check this page periodically. To make your periodic review
more convenient, we will post a date at the bottom of this
page.
Intellectual Property Policy:
Asheville’s Classifieds respects the intellectual property
rights of others and endeavors to comply with all applicable
US laws regarding intellectual property. Accordingly, it is
our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement
that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To
the extent Asheville’s Classifieds is able to identify
persons who are responsible for repeat postings of material
in violation of copyright law, Asheville’s Classifieds
reserves the right to terminate accounts of such repeat
infringers. Further, Asheville’s Classifieds policy is to
provide attribution for the content available on the Service
by linking to the source of the content.
Miscellaneous:
If
any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed superseded by
a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the
intent of the original provision and the remaining
provisions shall be enforced.
The
section headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement
are included for convenience only, and shall not limit or
otherwise affect the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Asheville’s
Classifieds may at any time seek injunctions or other forms
of equitable relief from any court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, for all
purposes of this Agreement each party shall be and act as an
independent contractor and not as partner, joint venture,
agent, employee or employer of the other and shall not bind
nor attempt to bind the other to any contract. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
Asheville's Classifieds and you with respect to the subject
matter hereof. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, there shall be no third-party
beneficiaries to this agreement.
Complaint, Digital Millennium Copyright Act:
It
is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement
that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the
text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office
www.copyright.gov/ and other applicable intellectual
property laws, which may include removing or disabling
access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing
activity. If we remove or disable access to comply with the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we will make a good-faith
attempt to contact the owner or administrator of each
affected site so that they may make a counter notification
pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of that Act. It is
our policy to document all notices of alleged infringement
on which we act. A copy of the notice will be sent to a
third party who will make it available to the public. To
file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a
written communication (by fax or regular mail -- not by
