You may not use any NearHere logo or other proprietary graphic or trademark as part of the link without express written permission.

The owner of an account is ultimately responsible for the actions taken under that account's name.



USER SUBMITTED MATERIAL

Much of the trivia on NearHere originates from visitors to the website. When a user submits trivia, all content becomes the property of NearHere (and the user clicks a SAVE button stating and agreeing to this fact at submit time). NearHere has all rights and ownership to content/questions entered and may publish and use this content in any way, forever.

For purposes of ensuring content accuracy, we allow users to modify their recently posted quizzes. We reserve the right to accept or deny such edits. Note however that once a quiz is submitted, you have no rights to demand modifications or deletion.

NearHere reserves the right not to include questions submitted and does not guarantee that submitted quizzes will be placed online. Quizzes submitted may be edited, modified or deleted by our editorial staff at any time. Any user who does not agree to these provisions may not submit material to NearHere.

In addition, users submitting content to NearHere certify when they submit the content that the content is in their own words and has not been taken from any copyright source(s). NearHere's volunteer editors do what they can to ensure that any material that is found to infringe any copyright is rejected for publishing. In addition, any user found to be submitting plagiarized work will immediately have their accounts terminated and banned from NearHere. NearHere takes plagiarism seriously. If you have reason to believe that any content in any NearHere quiz violates any copyright, please report it here and we will take prompt action.

Some NearHere quizzes use the names of famous people, places, products, and large companies in trivia questions. If you would prefer that NearHere NOT publish trivia regarding a trademark, company, person, etc for which you represent, please report it here and we will remove the content.



YOUR ACCOUNT

NearHere and its affiliates reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders in their sole discretion.

A NearHere account is a privillege, not a right. Due to the banning of abusive users accessing NearHere from certain IPs, NearHere may or may not even be reachable from your IP address.

RISK OF LOSS

All items purchased from NearHere are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

TRIVIA QUESTION ACCURACY

This applies to our publicly available content AND our trivia question products.

NearHere attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, NearHere does not warrant that product descriptions or other trivia content is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. It is ultimately your responsibility to check and validate any content originating from NearHere.com. We provide our content for entertainment purposes.

If a product offered by NearHere itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.

THIRD PARTY CONTENT

NearHere has co-branding arrangements with a couple of companies. These other companies are ultimately responsible for their content, as they run it.

These include: SkillJam.com, our provider of "prize money games". They can be contacted at skilljam.com

ADVERTISING

Our banner ads are provided by a variety of third party advertising networks, including Google adsense, Tribal Fusion, Burst Media, Casale Media, and Fastclick. These companies serve NearHere users ads, and as such are responsible for the content that they serve.
