User Terms of Service

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Welcome to the community site of Secrets no one ever told youâ„¢ (“Secrets”). Our service is subject to the following User Terms & Conditions (“T&C”) and our community Guidelines (“Guidelines”), both of which we may update from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current version of T&C anytime at https://snoety.com/privacypolicy. Also, should you use particular Secrets owned or operated services, you shall be subject to any posted policies, guidelines or rules applicable to such services. All such policies, guidelines and rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the T&C. You further agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this T&C, there shall be no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Secrets no one ever told youâ„¢ is a sharing, sourcing and networking site that provides access to many resources, including an online community of connected people who read, view, edit, rate, create and share content with networks of other Secrets users, through a network of properties which may be accessed via the Internet (the “Service”). As a user of the Service, you understand and agree that the Service may also include advertisements that are necessary to provide the Service, and may also include certain communications from Secrets such as service announcements and administrative messages, and you will not be able to opt out of receiving such communications. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Secrets properties, shall be subject to the T&C. You understand and agree that the Service is provided “AS-IS” and that Secrets assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, delivery or lack of delivery, or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service and that access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. Secrets is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, you must be at least 13 years of age to access and view the Service. In addition, please be aware that Secrets no one ever told youâ„¢ may have information on the Service that contains adult or mature content. You must be at least 18 years of age to access and view such areas.

3. SECRETS NO ONE EVER TOLD YOUâ„¢ PRIVACY POLICY
Personal and certain other information about you is subject to our Privacy Policy. As a condition of using the Service, you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy, as it may be changed from time to time. For more information, see our full Privacy Policy at https://snoety.com/privacypolicy.

4. CONTENT
You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages and/or other materials (“Content”), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted via the Service, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated. This means that you, and not Secrets are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service. Secrets does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will Secrets be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Service. You acknowledge that Secrets may or may not pre-screen Content, but that Secrets and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or move any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Secrets and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the T&C or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by Secrets or submitted to Secrets including without limitation information in Secrets Groups (see the definition in Section 7 below), and in all other parts of the Service. You acknowledge, consent and agree that Secrets may access, preserve, and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the T&C; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Secrets, its users and the public. Secrets also restricts the posting of overtly commercial content on or via the Services. Overtly commercial content is content the primary purpose of which is to sell a product or services or induces Members to enroll in a promotional or money-making enterprise that may or may not be legitimate in nature. Secrets reserves the right to review and remove any overtly commercial content, at its sole discretion. Articles must provide legitimate informational and/or entertainment value for the community. For those seeking to promote legitimate commercial offers to the Secrets community, please contact our web master at webmaster@snoety.com.. Secrets often allows Content to be posted that contains a link to free goods or services. We typically allow those to remain on the site within “Freebie” groups if this Content is not self-promoting. Secrets always reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove all types of Content from the Service.

5. APPROPRIATE CONDUCT AND MEMBER DISPUTES
Please read the following section carefully, as it governs your conduct while using the Secrets Service, and by using the Service, you agree to be bound by these terms. Secrets also strongly recommends that you review the Guidelines, which you can access at any time at https://snoety.com/privacypolicy for further clarification on what Secrets considers to be appropriate conduct on the Service.

Appropriate Conduct. You agree that you are responsible for your own conduct and communications while using the Service and for any consequences thereof. You agree to use the Service only to send and receive messages and material that are legal and proper.

  • engage in personal attacks of any kind against any member of the Secrets community;
  • post any inappropriate, defamatory, infringing, obscene, libelous or unlawful Content;

  • create Member accounts (see Section 6 below) by automated means or under false or fraudulent pretenses;
  • promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities or promote physical harm or injury against any group or individual;
  • transmit any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, or any items of a destructive nature; or
    engage in “ad slamming” of any nature, including the repeated clicking on advertisements to increase potential earnings to you, to increase potential costs to an advertiser, or for any reason other than viewing an advertisements as a potential consumer.

While Secrets prohibits the conduct and Content described above in connection with the Service, you understand and agree that you nonetheless may be exposed to such conduct and/or Content and that you use the Service at your own risk.
b. Member Disputes. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Secrets users. As a Member (as defined in Section 6), you are expected to tolerate viewpoints and perspectives with which you may not agree. Secrets is not obligated to arbitrate, or resolve in any manner, disputes that arise between Members. Secrets reserves the right but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Members, and to take any action, in Secrets’ sole discretion, that may be appropriate under the circumstances. Such actions may include, but are not limited to the suspension or termination of memberships and the removal of inappropriate content.
c. Reporting Objectionable Behavior or Content. If you encounter Content or behavior that you think violates the T&C or Guidelines, you can report the incident by sending an email to: webmaster@snoety.com. Please state the reasons for your concern and provide a clear description of where it is on the site or provide a link to the Content or behavior in question. If the Content or behavior is determined to be inappropriate, then it is removed from the Service and the author is notified. All such determinations may be made at Secrets’ sole discretion. Secrets may allow the author to modify the Content or change the behavior so that it is compliant with the T&C and Guidelines, and, assuming that it is, it may be subsequently released on the Service. Secrets reserves the right to terminate a Member’s (as defined in Section 6) account at any time we determine that to be an appropriate response to the Content or behavior in question.

In order to use certain aspects of the Service, you are required to register and establish an online account with Secrets. We refer to registered users as members (“Members”) and subject Members to the following specific terms:

a. In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (i) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (ii) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

However, with respect to such Content (including but not limited to articles, comments, photos, graphics, audio, or video you submit or make available), you grant Secrets a world-wide, royalty free, perpetual, unlimited, and non-exclusive license(s) to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works, publicly perform and publicly display such Content via the Service or on any other Secrets property. Secrets reserves the right to syndicate the Content submitted, posted, and/or displayed by you and to use that Content in connection with other services offered by Secrets. You also agree that, if you post Content containing adult or sexually explicit material that is not suitable for minors, you will mark the Content as such. If your posted Content contains material that is adult or sexually explicit and you do not mark it appropriately or if it abusive in any way, Secrets shall have the right to cancel your subscription

c. You agree that Secrets may, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately terminate your Secrets account, any associated email address, any associated user name, and/or access to the Service. Cause for such termination shall include, but not be limited to, (i) breaches or violations of the T&C or other incorporated agreements, guidelines, policies or rules, (ii) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (iii) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, (iv) extended periods of inactivity, (v) your engagement in fraudulent or illegal activities, and/or (vi) nonpayment of any fees owed by you in connection with the Service.

7. SECRETS’ GROUPS
Secrets may offer an element of the Service that enables Members to create and maintain their own “Secrets’ Group.” A Secrets Group might consist of internet based discussions and other functionalities that allow participants in the Secrets’ Group to communicate. Secrets’ Groups are subject to the following specific terms of use:

a. Group Leader’s Rights and Responsibilities. Secrets’ Group leaders (“Group Leaders”) have additional capabilities and responsibilities in regard to the participants and Content of a Secrets’ Group. The Group Leader decides whether a Secrets Group is restricted to certain Members or accessible to the public generally, and the Group Leader may change the access to the Secrets’ Group at any time. In restricted Secrets’ Groups, the Group Leader decides who may be a participant of the Secrets’ Group and can access and change the participant list in his or her sole discretion. A Group Leader may, at any time, transfer his or her ownership of a Secrets’ Group to another Member. In regard to Content, a Group Leader shall be responsible for the maintenance and monitoring of the Content in the Secrets’ Group, including deleting any Secrets’ Group and its Content and/or archived Content at any time and in his or her sole discretion.

b. Group Leaders Must Mark Mature, Adult and Sexually Explicit Content. If you create a Secrets’ Group containing mature, adult, or sexually explicit Content that is not suitable for minors, you agree to mark the Secrets’ Group as such. If your Secrets’ Group contains Content that is mature, adult, or sexually explicit and you do not mark the Secrets’ Group appropriately, Secrets shall have the right to delete your Secrets’ Group, including all messages posted to that Secrets’ Group.

8. SPECIAL ADMONITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL USE
