Terms Of Service
Effective Date: October 20, 2007
These Terms of Service govern your use of the DebtHelp.net
website (the "Service") only.
The Service contains material that is protected by state, national and
international copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. Unless
otherwise specified, the Service is intended for your personal, noncommercial
use only. You may not modify, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post,
transmit or distribute in any way any material, including code and software,
from the Service. You may download material from the Service and may use the
Service for your personal, non-commercial use only, provided you keep intact
all copyright and other proprietary notices.
As part of our Service, DebtHelp.net agrees to provide you with
information and other computer services subject to these Terms of Service. You
agree to use the Service in accordance with these Terms of Service, our
Privacy Policy, and any additional terms and conditions that may apply
to specific sections of the Service or to products and services available
through the Service. Accessing the Service, in any manner, for the purpose of
obtaining information, technical or otherwise, about the Service, constitutes
use of the Service and your agreement to be bound by these Terms of Service.
Because the Web is an evolving medium, we may need to change these Terms of
Service or impose new conditions on use of the Service, from time to time, in
which case we will post the revised Terms of Service on this website. By
continuing to use the DebtHelp.net website after we post any
such changes, you accept the Terms of Service, as modified.

state or imply any sponsorship of your site by N.L.L. LLC or
DebtHelp.net. However, you may not, without the prior written
permission of DebtHelp.net, frame any of the content of the
Service, or incorporate into another website or other service any material,
content or intellectual property belonging to DebtHelp.net,
its parent or affiliate companies, or any of their licensors.

Disclaimer
Through the Service, DebtHelp.net has provided links and
pointers to Internet sites maintained by third parties.
DebtHelp.net’s linking to such third party sites does not
imply an endorsement or sponsorship of such sites, or the information, products
or services offered on or through the sites. In addition, neither N.L.L. LLC, the owner of
DebtHelp.net, or its parent or subsidiary companies nor their
affiliates operate or control in any respect any information, products or
services that third parties may provide on or through the Service or on
websites linked to by the DebtHelp.net website. The
information, products and services offered on or through the Service and any
third-party sites are provided "as is" and without warranties of any kind
either express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to
applicable law, DebtHelp.net disclaims all warranties, express
or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
DebtHelp.net does not warrant that the Service or any of its
functions will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected,
or that any part of this Service, including bulletin boards, or the servers
that make it available, are free of viruses or other harmful components.

None of the advice should be taken to be legal, financial, or other professional
advice for the user's situation. Please consult a professional before making
any legal or financial decisions.

regarding the use or the results of the use of the Service or materials in this
Service, or in third-party sites in terms of their correctness, accuracy,
timeliness, reliability or otherwise.

necessary to access the Service. You assume the entire cost of and
responsibility for any damage to, and all necessary maintenance, repair or
correction of, that hardware and/or software.
The Service is provided for informational purposes only, and is not intended for
trading or investing purposes, or for commercial use. Stock and mutual fund
quotes, and related financial news stories may be delayed at least 20 minutes,
as may be required by the stock exchanges and/or the financial information
services. The Service should not be used in any high risk activities where
damage or injury to persons, property, environment, finances or business may
result if an error occurs. You expressly assume all risk for such use.
Online Purchases on or through DebtHelp.net Certain sections of
the DebtHelp.net website may allow you to purchase many
different types of products and services online that are provided by third
parties. DebtHelp.net is not responsible for the quality,
accuracy, timeliness, reliability or any other aspect of these products and
services. If you make a purchase from a merchant on the
DebtHelp.net website or a site linked to by
DebtHelp.net, the information obtained during your visit to
that merchant’s online store or site and the information that you give as part
of the transaction, such as your credit card number and contact information,
may be collected by both the merchant and DebtHelp.net. A
merchant may have privacy and data collection practices that are different from
ours. DebtHelp.net has no responsibility or liability for
these independent policies. In addition, when you purchase products or services
on or through the DebtHelp.net website, you may be subject to
additional terms and conditions that specifically apply to your purchase or use
of such products or services. For more information regarding a merchant, its
online store, its privacy policies and/or any additional terms and conditions
that may apply, visit that merchant's website and click on its information
links or contact the merchant directly. You release
DebtHelp.net and its affiliates from any damages that you
incur, and agree not to assert any claims against them, arising from your
purchase or use of any products or services made available by third parties
through the DebtHelp.net website.
You agree to be financially responsible for all purchases made by you or someone
acting on your behalf through the Service. You agree to use the Service and to
purchase services or products through the Service for legitimate,
non-commercial purposes only. You also agree not to make any purchases for
speculative, false or fraudulent purposes or for the purpose of anticipating
demand for a particular product or service. You agree to only purchase goods or
services for yourself or for another person for whom you are legally permitted
to do so. When making a purchase for a third party that requires you to submit
the third party’s personal information to DebtHelp.net or a
merchant, you represent that you have obtained the express consent of such
third party to provide such third party’s personal information.
Use of Company Directories
The information contained in any company directories that may be provided on the

warranty of any kind. In no event will DebtHelp.net or its
suppliers be liable in any way with regard to such information.

on bulletin boards, web logs, chat rooms and other public posting areas on the

international law.

holder.
-

that has been posted by other users of the Service.
You understand that DebtHelp.net has no obligation to monitor
any bulletin boards, chat rooms, web logs, or other areas of the Service
through which users can supply information or material. However,
DebtHelp.net reserves the right at all times to disclose any
information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental
request, or to refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in
whole or in part, that in DebtHelp.net's sole discretion are
objectionable or in violation of these Terms of Service.
Registration
To access certain features of the Service, DebtHelp.net may ask
you to provide certain demographic information including your gender, year of
birth, zip code and country. In addition, if you elect to sign-up for a
particular feature of the Service, such as chat rooms, web logs or bulletin
boards, you may also be asked to register with DebtHelp.net on
the form provided and such registration may require you to provide personally
identifiable information such as your name and email address. You agree to
provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as
prompted by the Service's registration form. If DebtHelp.net
has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate
or incomplete, DebtHelp.net has the right to suspend or
terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the
Service (or any portion thereof). DebtHelp.net’s use of any
personally identifiable information you provide to
DebtHelp.net as part of the registration process is governed
by the terms of DebtHelp.net’s Privacy Policy.
Passwords
To use certain features of the Service, you will need a username and password,
which you will receive through the Service's registration process. You are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account,
and are responsible for all activities (whether by you or by others) that occur
under your password or account. You agree to notify
DebtHelp.net immediately of any unauthorized use of your
password or account or any other breach of security, and to ensure that you
exit from your account at the end of each session.
DebtHelp.net cannot and will not be liable for any loss or
damage arising from your failure to protect your password or account
information.
Classified Advertising
When you submit a classified ad for publication on the Service, you agree that
the advertisement as it appears on the Service becomes the property of
DebtHelp.net and you assign all ownership interest in the
advertisement as it appears on Service under copyright law or otherwise to
DebtHelp.net. Submission of an advertisement does not
constitute a commitment to publish the advertisement, and publication of an
advertisement does not constitute an agreement for continued publication. We
will accept only standard abbreviations and required proper punctuation.
DebtHelp.net reserves the right to edit, reclassify, revise,
reject or cancel any advertisement at any time, in its sole discretion. Rates
and specifications are subject to change.
Real Estate Advertisements; Equal Housing Opportunity
All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act,
which makes it illegal to advertise "any preference, limitation, or
discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial
status, or national origin, or intention to make any such preference,
limitation, or discrimination." State law may also forbid discrimination based
on these factors and others. We will not knowingly accept any advertising for
real estate which is in violation of the law. All persons are hereby informed
that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis. To
complain of discrimination call the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development at 800-669-9777.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall
DebtHelp.net, its subsidiary and parent companies or
affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or
consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use,
DebtHelp.net materials, products, or services, third party
materials, products, or services made available through
DebtHelp.net, or any part of the Service even if
DebtHelp.net is advised beforehand of the possibility of such
damages. (Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
certain categories of damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. In
such states, the liability of DebtHelp.net, its subsidiary and
parent companies or affiliates is limited to the fullest extent permitted by
such state law.) You specifically acknowledge and agree that
DebtHelp.net is not liable for any defamatory, offensive or
illegal conduct of any user. If you are dissatisfied with any
DebtHelp.net material, products, or services, or with any of
DebtHelp.net's terms and conditions, your sole and exclusive
remedy is to discontinue using the Service.
Termination
DebtHelp.net may cancel or terminate your right to use the
Service or any part of the Service at any time without notice. In the event of
termination, you are no longer authorized to access the part of the Service
affected by such cancellation or termination. The restrictions imposed on you
with respect to material downloaded from the Service, and the disclaimers and
limitations of liabilities set forth in these Terms of Service, shall survive.
Other
This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
DebtHelp.net and you with respect to the subject matter
contained in this agreement and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous
agreements, proposals and communications, written oral. You also may be subject
to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use the products or
services of a third party that are provided through the Service. In the event
of any conflict between any such third party terms and conditions and these
Terms of Service, these Terms of Service shall govern. This agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to any principles or conflicts of law. If any provision
of this agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then
that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not
affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
