Terms of Use

Please read the following Terms of Use (the “Terms” or “Agreement”) carefully. They govern your (“you” or “your”) access to and use of the website and services (collectively, “C3” or the “Site”) owned and/or operated by C3 Solutions (“we”, “us,” or “our”). Your access to and use of the Site are expressly conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms.

Any use of the Site constitutes your agreement to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.

Site Operation

This Site is operated by C3 Solutions. Technical, maintenance and other issues may make the Site unavailable from time to time. C3 SOLUTIONS MAKES NO COMMITMENT, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE THAT THE SITE WILL OPERATE IN A TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE MANNER, OR THAT THE SITE WILL OTHERWISE MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. C3 Solutions may in its discretion modify the features, availability, operation, and/or look and feel of the Site from time to time without notice to our users.  C3 may temporarily or permanently suspend the operation of the Site or portions of the site at any time. We reserve the right at any time to change all or any part of these Terms and to change the Site, including by eliminating or discontinuing any content on or feature of the Site, with or without notice.

Use of the Site

Except as expressly authorized by these Terms, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, transmit, perform, display, or create derivative works of any portion of the Site without the written consent of C3 Solutions. Nothing herein grants any rights to commercially exploit any portion of the Site or any content therein. All rights not expressly granted hereunder are expressly reserved.

Copyright

C3 Solutions is committed to protecting copyrights and expects users of the Site to do the same. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any material used or displayed on or through the Site infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. DMCA notices and counter-notices regarding the Site should be sent to: info@c3solutions.org
