TERMS AND CONDITIONS


Inshelf, LLC (the "Company"), offers the Use (as defined below) of www.inshelf.com ("Website"), subject to the following terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions"). The viewer or user (collectively, the "User") should read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using the Website. By continuing to view and use the Website, the User agrees to these Terms and Conditions. Furthermore, by becoming a Registered User (as defined below), these Terms and Conditions are further affirmed. If the User does not agree to the Terms and Conditions set forth herein or otherwise on the Website, the User must not use it. The Company retains the right to change the content of the Website or these Terms and Conditions at any time. Any changes made to these Terms and Conditions shall be effective immediately upon posting. The User's continued Use of the Website constitutes acceptance of those changes.

The situating of the Website on the World Wide Web and/or Internet constitutes a continuing offer by the Company to the User to Use, as such term is defined below, the Website according to the Terms and Conditions. By utilizing the Website in any manner, including, without limitation, by viewing the same (collectively, a "Use"), the User accepts that offer and creates a binding contract between the two parties to adhere to the same. The parties stipulate that sufficient consideration exists to create that contract, and that it is therefore binding upon them. Further, by his Use of the Website, the User makes the material representation upon which he wishes the Company to rely that he will adhere to the Terms and Conditions in connection with the User's Use of the Website. If the User is dissatisfied with any of the Terms and Conditions, the User's sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Website. Finally, by his Use of the Website, the User also stipulates that a violation of any of the Terms and Conditions will result in irreparable harm to the Company not compensable in money damages, such that, without limitation, injunctive relief shall be a necessary and appropriate remedy.

The Website contains images and contents, including but not limited to images, photographs, website text, software, pictures, graphics, videos, data, messages or any and all other information controlled by the Website (collectively, "Materials").

General Disclaimer. Nothing contained on the Website shall be construed as a representation to be reasonably relied upon. In no event shall anything on the Website be construed either to create a duty of care or to constitute a representation by the Company of any sort to be relied upon by the User in any manner whatsoever. The Company takes no responsibility for information sent to it intercepted by third-parties.

As further set forth herein, the Company takes no responsibility for the information contained on any website to which this one may be linked, as the same is completely independent of the Website. Furthermore, the Company takes no responsibility for any communications between Users or posted by any User, or for the actual transactions between Users, such as without limitation, the trading of books. User acknowledges and agrees that his participation in and on the Website, including participation in any trading of books is at his own risk. The Company does not guarantee the success of any such transaction. The Company is similar to an Internet Service Provider or Internet message board in that it is simply serving as a passive conduit and does not control the quality, safety or legality of such transactions, nor does it endeavor to determine the truth or accuracy of the property listings, the ability of Advertisers to perform services in connection with the property listings or the ability of Users to rent property. The Company does not guarantee that any transaction will be completed.

User acknowledges that the Company in its operation of the Website is simply serving as a passive conduit and does not control the quality, safety or legality of any interactions between Users of the Website, or any information posted by third parties on the Website, nor does it endeavor to determine the truth or accuracy of any messages posted by third parties or any other information. Accordingly, User acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to the immunities afforded to an Interactive Computer Service under the Communications Decency Act, 47 USC § 230, as it may be amended.

The Company is not responsible for the User's Use of the Website. User shall use caution and be responsible for the inherent risks in dealing with other Users or third-parties, whose identities have not been verified, may be under age, may be acting under false pretenses or attempting to defraud others. User agrees to accept and assume such risks and acknowledges that the Company is not responsible for the acts or omissions of Users or third-parties on the Website.

Without limitation, User acknowledges and agrees that none of the Users or their profiles are by or for the Company, with the sole exception of profiles that are created by the Company during the beta testing period. Rather, all such Users are independent, separate individuals or entities. Accordingly, User acknowledges and agrees that Company shall bear no liability, and User accordingly releases Company from any and all liability, and potential claims that could arise from User's dealings with any such other Users or other third parties.

Content. The Company takes no responsibility for the communications or information contained in any posts or forum where Users or third-parties may submit the same on the Website (collectively, "Third Party Content").

Furthermore, the Company does not endorse any opinions or views expressed in the Third Party Content. The Company may, but undertakes no duty to, review and delete any Third Party Content or other content submitted to the Company for any reason, in its sole discretion. The Company may expel Users and prevent their further access to one, some or all of the Website for violating the Terms and Conditions, applicable law, rule or regulation, conduct that is abusive, illegal or disruptive, or otherwise poses a potential liability for the Company.
