You agree to use the Service in accordance with these Terms of Service. Accessing our Service, in any manner, for the purpose of obtaining information, technical or otherwise, about the Service constitutes use of the Service such that the party accessing the Service is 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 Service after we post any such changes, you accept the Terms of Service, as modified.

  • You may establish a hypertext link to this Service so long as the link does not state or imply any sponsorship of your site by PittsburghLIVE.com, The Tribune-Review, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review or any other affiliated newspapers or websites. However, you may not, without the prior written permission of PittsburghLIVE.com, frame any of the content of the Service, or incorporate into another website or other service any intellectual property of PittsburghLIVE.com, its parent or affiliate companies or its licensors.

  • For each visitor to our web sites, our web servers automatically collect the user's domain name or IP address but not their e-mail address. We also collect information on what pages users request or visit. This information is used to generate reports that help PittsburghLIVE.com assess the value of and interest in our various web sites and features. Our advertising banner placement software may gather additional information on the type of operating system and browser each visitor uses. This information may be used to further customize content delivery.

  • Through our Feedback form, we collect the opinions and suggestions of PittsburghLIVE users. When these users voluntarily provide an e-mail address, we use that address for a response only. Suggestions submitted via either the Feedback form or direct e-mail are used by us to improve and customize the content of our sites. Information submitted through site registration or online contests on PittsburghLIVE or the websites listed above, in addition to being used to notify contest winners, may be used to compile a database through which PittsburghLIVE users may occasionally be contacted, either by e-mail, mail or telephone, to be informed of special features of and updates to PittsburghLIVE and its websites. Persons who supply us with their postal address, e-mail address and/or telephone numbers while making a purchase through one of our online catalogs may receive telephone contact from us with information regarding orders they have placed online. Users also may be contacted occasionally during telephone surveys through which we judge the effectiveness and usability of our websites.

  • We do NOT knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service. We screen users who wish to provide personal information in order to prevent users under the age of thirteen from providing such information. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a user under the age of thirteen as part of the Service, we will delete such information from our records. If we change our practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service.

  • The information contained in any company directories that may be provided on the Service is provided for business lookup purposes and is not to be used for marketing or telemarketing applications. This information may not be copied or redistributed and is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. In no event will PittsburghLIVE.com or its suppliers be liable in any way with regard to such information.

  • To use certain features of the Service, you must register with PittsburghLIVE.com on the form provided. You agree (a) to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form, and (b) to maintain and promptly update the information you provide to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If PittsburghLIVE.com has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). Our use of any personally identifying information you provide to us as part of the registration process is governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy.

  • Through your use of this service you agree that you will not use our online forums, blog comments or any other online features including email forms to post or send any material which is false and defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, in violation of copyright or other intellectual property rights, or otherwise in violation of any applicable law. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your Internet service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions.

  • Although users of PittsburghLIVE.com are not required to identify themselves to use our services, PittsburghLIVE and the Tribune-Review Publishing Co. reserve the right to reveal your identity and any other information collected in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message or email posted by you.

  • You understand that PittsburghLIVE.com has no obligation to monitor any bulletin boards, blog comments, chat rooms, or other areas of the Service through which users can supply information or material. However, PittsburghLIVE.com 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 PittsburghLIVE.com's sole discretion are objectionable or in violation of these Terms of Service.

  • Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall PittsburghLIVE.com, 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, PittsburghLIVE.com materials, products, or services, or third party materials, products, or services made available through the Service, or any part of the Service, even if PittsburghLIVE.com 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 many not apply to you. In such states, the liability of PittsburghLIVE.com, its subsidiary and parent companies or affiliates is limited to the fullest extent permitted by such state law.) You specifically acknowledge and agree that PittsburghLIVE.com is not liable for any defamatory, offensive or illegal conduct of any user. If you are dissatisfied with any PittsburghLIVE.com materials, products, or services, or with any of PittsburghLIVE.com's terms and conditions, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Service.

  • This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. BY CONTINUING TO USE PITTSBURGHLIVE.COM, YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
