8. Access to the Service
skaffers grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive license to access
the Service for your own personal use of the Service, and not to download
(other than page caching) or modify it, or any portion of it, or any
Content made available via the Service (except for your own Content),
without the express written consent of skaffers. This license does not
include any collection, aggregation, copying, duplication, display or
derivative use of the Service nor any use of data mining, robots, spiders,
or similar data gathering and extraction tools for any purpose unless
expressly permitted by skaffers. A limited exception is provided to
general purpose internet search engines and non-commercial public archives
that use such tools to gather information for the sole purpose of
displaying hyperlinks to the Service, provided they each do so from a
stable IP address or range of IP addresses using an easily identifiable
agent and comply with our robots.txt file. "General purpose internet
search engine" does not include a website or search engine or other
service that specializes in classified listings or in any subset of
classifieds listings such as jobs, housing, for sale, services, or
personals, or which is in the business of providing classified ad listing
services.
skaffers permits you to display on your website, or create a hyperlink
on your website to, individual postings on the Service so long as such use
is for noncommercial and/or news reporting purposes only (e.g., for use in
personal web blogs or personal online media). If the total number of such
postings displayed or linked to on your website exceeds one hundred (100)
postings, your use will be presumed to be in violation of these Terms,
absent express permission granted by skaffers to do so. You may also
create a hyperlink to the home page of skaffers sites so long as the
link does not portray skaffers, its employees, or its affiliates in a
false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive matter.
skaffers offers various parts of the Service in RSS format so that users
can embed individual feeds into a personal website or blog, or view
postings through third party software news aggregators. skaffers permits
you to display, excerpt from, and link to the RSS feeds on your personal
website or personal web blog, provided that (a) your use of the RSS feed
is for personal, non-commercial purposes only, (b) each title is correctly
linked back to the original post on the Service and redirects the user to
the post when the user clicks on it, (c) you provide, adjacent to the RSS
feed, proper attribution to 'skaffers' as the source, (d) your use or
display does not suggest that skaffers promotes or endorses any third
party causes, ideas, web sites, products or services, (e) you do not
redistribute the RSS feed, and (f) your use does not overburden
skaffers's systems. skaffers reserves all rights in the content of the
RSS feeds and may terminate any RSS feed at any time.
Use of the Service beyond the scope of authorized access granted to you by
skaffers immediately terminates said permission or license. In order to
collect, aggregate, copy, duplicate, display or make derivative use of the
the Service or any Content made available via the Service for other
purposes (including commercial purposes) not stated herein, you must first
obtain a license from skaffers.
9. Termination of service
You agree that skaffers, in its sole discretion, has the right (but not
the obligation) to delete or deactivate your account, block your email or
IP address, or otherwise terminate your access to or use of the Service
(or any part thereof), immediately and without notice, and remove and
discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without
limitation, if skaffers believes that you have acted inconsistently with
the letter or spirit of the Terms. Further, you agree that skaffers
shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your
access to the Service. Further, you agree not to attempt to use the
Service after said termination. Sections 2, 4, 6 and 10-16 shall survive
termination of these Terms.
10. Dealings with organizations and individuals
Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or
through the Service, including payment and delivery of goods or services,
and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated
with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or
individuals. You agree that skaffers shall not be responsible or liable
for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such
dealings. If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or
between users and any third party, you understand and agree that
skaffers is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that
you have a dispute with one or more other users, you hereby release
skaffers, its officers, employees, agents and successors in rights from
claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or
nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and
undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and /
or our service. If you are a California resident, you waive California
Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "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."

public area of the Service, you automatically grant skaffers all rights
necessary to prohibit any subsequent aggregation, display, copying,
duplication, reproduction, or exploitation of the Content on the Service
by any party for any purpose.

without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and skaffers agree
to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located
within the county of San Francisco, California. The failure of skaffers
to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the
Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the
parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect
to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other
provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that
regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of
action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Terms must

be forever barred.
16. Violations of Terms and Liquidated Damages
Please report any violations of the Terms, by flagging the posting(s) for
review, or by emailing to support@skaffers.com. 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.
You understand and agree that, because damages are often difficult to
quantify, if it becomes necessary for skaffers to pursue legal action to
enforce these Terms, you will be liable to pay skaffers the following
amounts as liquidated damages, which you accept as reasonable estimates of
skafferss' damages for the specified breaches of these Terms:
a. If you post a message that (1) impersonates any person or entity; (2)
falsely states or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person
or entity; or (3) that includes personal or identifying information about
another person without that person's explicit consent, you agree to pay
skaffers one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each such message. This
provision does not apply to messages that are lawful non-deceptive
parodies of public figures.
b. If skaffers establishes limits on the frequency with which you may
access the Service, or terminates your access to or use of the Service,
you agree to pay skaffers one hundred dollars ($100) for each message
posted in excess of such limits or for each day on which you access
skaffers in excess of such limits, whichever is higher.
c. If you send unsolicited email advertisements to skaffers email
addresses or through skaffers computer systems, you agree to pay
skaffers twenty five dollars ($25) for each such email.
d. If you post messages in violation of these Terms of Use, other than as
described above, you agree to pay skaffers one hundred dollars ($100)
for each such message. In its sole discretion, skaffers may elect to
issue a warning before assessing damages.
e. If you aggregate, display, copy, duplicate, reproduce, or otherwise
exploit for any purpose any Content (except for your own Content) in
violation of these Terms without skaffers's express written permission,
you agree to pay skaffers three thousand dollars ($3,000) for each day
on which you engage in such conduct.
Otherwise, you agree to pay skaffers's actual damages, to the extent
such actual damages can be reasonably calculated. Notwithstanding any
other provision of these Terms, skaffers retains the right to seek the
remedy of specific performance of any term contained in these Terms, or a
preliminary or permanent injunction against the breach of any such term or
in aid of the exercise of any power granted in these Terms, or any

Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Skaffers.com is an Online Service Provider under Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 512 ("DMCA"). Skaffers.com respects the legitimate rights of copyrights owners, and has adopted an efficient notice and takedown procedure as required by the DMCA and described herein. This policy is intended to guide copyright owners in utilizing that procedure, and also to guide webmasters in restoring access to websites that are disabled due to mistake.
Notice to Owners of Copyrighted Works
The DMCA provides a legal procedure by which you can request any Online Service Provider to disable access to a website where your copyrighted work(s) are appearing without your permission. There are two parts to the legal procedure: (1) Writing a Proper DMCA Notice, and (2) Sending the Proper DMCA Notice to Skaffers.com Designated Agent.
How to Write a Proper DMCA Notice
A Proper DMCA Notice will notify Skaffers.com of particular facts in a document signed under penalty of perjury. We refer to this as a "Proper DMCA Notice". To Write a Proper DMCA notice, please provide the following information:

2. State your contact information, including your TRUE NAME, street address, telephone number, and email address.
3. Identify the copyrighted work that you believe is being infringed, or if a large number of works are appearing at a single website, a representative list of the works.

6. State that you have "a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agents, or the law."
7. State that the information in the notice is accurate, under penalty of perjury.
Sign the notice with either a physical or electronic signature.

Skaffers.com will follow the procedures provided in the DCMA, which prescribed a notice and takedown procedure, subject to the webmaster's right to submit a Counter-notification claiming lawful use of the disabled works.
Notice and Takedown Procedure
It is expected that all users of any part of the Skaffers.com system will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if Skaffers.com is notified of claimed copyright infringement, or otherwise becomes aware of facts and circumstances from which infringement is apparent, it will respond expeditiously by removing, or disabling access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. Skaffers.com will comply with the appropriate provisions of the DMCA in the event a counter notification is received by its Designated Agent.
Notice to Users of Skaffers.com Systems
Pursuant to the Terms of Service Agreement you agreed to when you were permitted to become a System User, you are required to use only lawfully-acquired creative works as website content, and your website may be disabled upon receipt of notice that infringing material is appearing there. Skaffers.com also respects the legitimate interests of webmasters in utilizing media content lawfully, being permitted to present a response to claims of infringement, and obtaining timely restoration of access to a website that has been disabled due to a copyright complaint.
Your System Use privileges will also be suspended. You may protest a DMCA notice by submitting a Counter-notification as described below.
Writing and Submitting a Counter-notification
If access to your website is disabled due to operation of the Skaffers.com notice and takedown procedure described above, and you believe the takedown was improper, you must submit a Counter-notification.
Writing a Counter-notification
To write a proper counter-notification, please provide the following information:

2. Identify the material that has been removed and designate its URL prior to removal.
