Information Posted by You

You may place or post material on the website or make it available to other users (for example, by email) only where and as permitted by us from time to time. We do not monitor, approve, endorse, or exert editorial control over information posted by users and do not, therefore, accept responsibility for or make any warranties in connection with or recommend that you or any third party rely on such information.

By placing information on the website or making it available to other users or by submitting material to us for publication, you hereby grant us (unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing) a worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable license to use, copy, distribute, publish, and transmit such information in any manner we wish (including, but not limited to, archiving and making available such information in any media as part of the services provided by us).

Notices

You may send us notices under or in connection with these Conditions:

  • By post to TACAM, 28847 Beck Rd, Michigan 48393.
  • By telephone to 248.438.8580; or
  • By email to contact@tacam.org

As proof of sending does not guarantee our receipt of your notice, you must ensure that you have received an acknowledgment from us, which will be sent within 10 working days of our receipt and should be retained by you.

Limitation of Liability

  • While we will use reasonable endeavors to verify the accuracy of any information we place on the website, we make no warranties, whether express or implied, in relation to its accuracy. You should verify all the information given on the website before acting upon it. You will not hold us responsible if the information is not accurate.
  • The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any representation or endorsement. Unless specified in separate terms and conditions related to a particular product or service, we make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, in relation to the website, or products or services offered on the website whether by us or on our behalf (including free software downloads) including but not limited to, implied warranties of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, compatibility, security, accuracy, condition, or completeness, or any implied warranty arising from course of dealing or usage or trade.
  • Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, we cannot and do not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. In certain sections of the website (for example, Classifieds and Turkey Abroad) we only act as a venue and do not screen the advertisements or other listings offered. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety, or legality of the opportunities posted or the truth or accuracy of any listings. You are solely responsible for any listings posted on the website. We are not to be considered an employer with respect to your use of the website.
  • Unless specified in separate terms and conditions related to a particular product or service, we make no warranty that the website or products or services offered on the website whether by us or on our behalf (including free software downloads) will meet your requirements or will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the website or the server that makes it available or products or services offered on the website whether by us or on our behalf (including free software downloads) are free of viruses or bugs or are fully functional, accurate, or reliable. We will not be responsible or liable to you for any loss of content or material as a result of uploading to or downloading from the website.
  • Notwithstanding any other provision in the Conditions, nothing herein shall limit your rights as a consumer under English law.
  • You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee and therefore shall not be in any way responsible for the security or privacy of the website and any information provided to or taken from the website by you.
  • We will not be liable in contract, tort, or otherwise if you incur loss or damage connecting to the website through a third party’s hypertext link.
  • We will not be liable, in contract, tort (including, without limitation, negligence), pre-contract, or other representations (other than fraudulent misrepresentations) or otherwise out of or in connection with the website or products or services offered on the website whether by us or on our behalf (including free software downloads) for:
    • Any economic losses (including without limitation loss of revenues, profits, contracts, business, or anticipated savings).
    • Any loss of goodwill or reputation.
    • Any special or indirect or consequential losses.
  • In any case, whether or not such losses were within the contemplation of either of us at the date on which the event giving rise to the loss occurred.
  • Nothing in the Conditions shall exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or that of our servants, agents, or employees.

Severance

If any part of the Conditions shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed to be severable from these Conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions of the Conditions.

Waiver

Nothing shall be construed as a waiver by us of any preceding or succeeding breach of any provision.

Survival

Each provision of these Conditions shall be construed as separately applying and surviving even if for any reason one or other of those provisions is held to be inapplicable or unenforceable in any circumstances.

Entire Agreement

These Conditions (as amended from time to time) contain the entire agreement between you and us relating to the subject matter covered and supersede any previous agreements, arrangements, undertakings, or proposals, written or oral, between you and us in relation to such matters. No oral explanation or oral information given by either of us shall alter the interpretation of these Conditions. You confirm that, in agreeing to accept these Conditions, you have not relied on any representation save insofar as the same has expressly been made a representation in these Conditions and you agree that you shall have no remedy in respect of any misrepresentation which has not become a term of these Conditions save that your agreement contained in this Clause shall not apply in respect of any fraudulent misrepresentation whether or not such has become a term of these Conditions.

Law

The Conditions will be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Michigan whose Courts will have exclusive jurisdiction in any dispute, save that we have the right, at our sole discretion, to commence and pursue proceedings in alternative jurisdictions.
