Terms of Service

Last updated January 4, 2022

Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) describe our commitments to you, and your rights and responsibilities when using our services. Please read them carefully and reach out to us if you have any questions. If you don’t agree to these Terms, don’t use our services.

Terms of Service

These Terms govern your access to and use of the products and services we provide through or for takeofftechnical.com, referred to herein as “Services.”

Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using our Services. By accessing or using any part of our Services, you agree to be bound by all of the Terms and all other operating rules, policies, and procedures that we may publish via the Services from time to time (collectively, the “Agreement”). You also agree that we may automatically change, update, or add on to our Services, and this Agreement will apply to any changes.

1. Parties

“You” means any individual or entity using our Services. If you use our Services on behalf of another person or entity, you represent and warrant that you’re authorized to accept the Agreement on that person’s or entity’s behalf, that by using our Services you’re accepting the Agreement on behalf of that person or entity, and that if you, or that person or entity, violates the Agreement, you and that person or entity agree to be responsible to us.

“Us” or “We” refers to Takeoff Technical LLC of Minnesota, the owning party of the Services.

“Website Host” refers to the WordPress.com website hosting platform for this website. Please note that your use of takeofftechnical.com is also governed by the WordPress.com Terms of Service.

2. Your Account

When using our Services requires an account, you agree to provide us with complete and accurate information and to keep the information current so that we can communicate with you about your account. We may need to send you emails about notable updates (like changes to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy), or to let you know about legal inquiries or complaints we receive about the ways you use our Services so you can make informed choices in response.

We may limit your access to our Services until we’re able to verify your account information, like your email address.

When you create an account, we consider that to be an inquiry about our products and services, which means that we may also contact you to share more details about what we have to offer (i.e., marketing). Don’t worry — if you aren’t interested, you can opt out of the marketing communications, whether it’s an email, phone call, or text message.

You’re solely responsible and liable for all activity under your account. You’re also fully responsible for maintaining the security of your account (which includes keeping your password secure). We’re not liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of your acts or omissions. If you get fired because of a comment you write about your boss, that’s on you.

Don’t share or misuse your access credentials. And notify us immediately of any unauthorized uses of your account, store, or website, or of any other breach of security. If we believe your account has been compromised, we may suspend or disable it.

If you’d like to learn about how we handle the data you provide us, please see our Privacy Policy.

3. Minimum Age Requirements

Our Services are not directed to children. You’re not allowed to access or use our Services if you’re under the age of 13 (or 16 in Europe). If you register as a user or otherwise use our Services, you represent that you’re at least 13 (or 16 in Europe). You may use our Services only if you can legally form a binding contract with us. In other words, if you’re under 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority where you live), you can only use our Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to the Agreement.

4. Responsibility of Visitors and Users

Text, photos, videos, audio, code, software, items for sale, and other site materials are referred to as “Content.” We haven’t reviewed, and can’t review, all of the Content posted by users in the form of comments. Content posted by us is reviewed in good faith, but is subject to the same terms as all Content (including content posted by users) on this site. We haven’t reviewed, and can’t review, all of the websites that link to, or are linked from, our Services. We’re not responsible for any use or effects of third-party websites.

For example:

  • We don’t have any control over third-party websites.
  • A link to or from one of our Services does not represent or imply that we endorse any third-party website.
  • We don’t endorse any Content or represent that Content is accurate, useful, or not harmful. Content could be offensive, indecent, or objectionable; include technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, or other errors; or violate or infringe the privacy, publicity rights, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights of third parties.
  • You’re fully responsible for the Content that you post to this website, and any harm resulting from that Content. It’s your responsibility to ensure that your posted Content abides by applicable laws and by the Agreement.
  • We aren’t responsible for any harm resulting from anyone’s access, use, purchase, or downloading of Content, or for any harm resulting from third-party websites. You’re responsible for taking the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content.
  • We are not a party to, and will have no responsibility or liability for, any communications, transactions, interactions, or disputes between you and the provider of any comment.

Please note that additional third-party terms and conditions may apply to Content you download, copy, purchase, or use.

8. Intellectual Property

The Agreement doesn’t transfer any Takeoff Technical LLC or third-party intellectual property to you, and all right, title, and interest in and to such property remains (as between Takeoff Technical LLC and you) solely with Takeoff Technical LLC. Using our Services doesn’t grant you any right or license to reproduce or otherwise use any Takeoff Technical or third-party trademarks.

9. Changes

We may update, change, or discontinue any aspect of our Services at any time. Since we’re constantly updating our Services, we sometimes have to change the legal terms under which they’re offered. The Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of Takeoff Technical LLC, or if we post a revised version. We’ll let you know when there are changes: we’ll post them here and update the “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of our Services after the new terms take effect will be subject to the new terms, so if you disagree with the changes in the new terms, you should stop using our Services.

We have the right (though not the obligation) to, in our sole discretion, (i) refuse or remove any content that, in our reasonable opinion, violates any of the Agreement or any Takeoff Technical LLC policy, or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use of any of our Services to any individual or entity for any reason. We will have no obligation to provide a refund of any fees previously paid.

When you click on links or advertisements presented with the Content, we may earn a small commission. Additionally, third parties may sponsor Content on the site.

18 Miscellaneous

The Agreement (together with any other terms we provide that apply to any specific Service) constitutes the entire agreement between Takeoff Technical LLC and you concerning our Services. If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is severable from the Agreement, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of the Agreement. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.

Takeoff Technical LLC may assign its rights under the Agreement without condition. You may only assign your rights under the Agreement with our prior written consent.
