Terms and Conditions of use
This site was created for a student project. Terms of use below have been browed from Trails.com and I do not take credit for any of the information below. for more information check out Trails.com

By using the Site you agree to the following:

1. Agreement to Deal Electronically; Electronic Communications and Notices.
All of your transactions with or through the Site may, at our option, be conducted electronically from start to finish. If we decide to proceed non-electronically, those services will still be governed by the remainder of these Terms unless you enter into different terms on a form provided by us. If the law allows you to withdraw this consent or if we are ever required to deal with you non-electronically, we reserve the right to charge or increase fees and you agree to print or make an electronic copy of the Terms and any other contract or disclosure that we are required to provide to you.
Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, we will give you any notices regarding the Site by posting them on the Site. You also authorize Hillclimb Media to send notices (including notice of subpoenas or other legal process, if any) via electronic mail. You must check the Site for notices, and you will be considered to have received a notice when it is posted on the Site, or when sent by us via electronic mail, whether or not received by you. You must keep your address current and any notice sent by us to an email address that you have provided to us will be considered effective notice.

2. Privacy.
Our Privacy Policy is a part of this Agreement and its terms are incorporated by this reference. Please read it now (by clicking on Privacy Policy at the bottom of any page). The policy explains how certain information about you may be used. You acknowledge and agree that Hillclimb Media may collect, use, exchange, and store information about you and your orders in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

3. Unauthorized Use of Your Password.
All instructions transmitted by or received from anyone presenting your password on the Site are binding to you. You agree that you are solely responsible for all transactions or acts that are validated through use of your password, whether or not made with your knowledge or authority. You agree to guard your password carefully, with the full awareness that a failure to keep it secure will enable others to engage in transactions through the Site for which you will be legally responsible. If you ever suspect that someone may have obtained access to your password who is not intended to have authority to act on your behalf, please contact Hillclimb Media immediately. You authorize Hillclimb Media to refuse to accept any further orders placed under that password on your behalf—and Hillclimb Media will use commercially reasonable efforts to block such orders.

4. Changes to the Agreement.
This Site is like a store: every time a customer enters a store the customer is bound by the rules in effect on the date of the customer's visit. Similarly, at the Site, you are bound by the version of this Agreement that is in effect on the date of your visit or order. The terms of this Agreement may change from time to time so please review them when you visit the Site. We will post a notice on the home page of the Site for thirty (30) days if we change the terms of this Agreement and your use of the Site after the effective date of any change will constitute your consent to the amended Agreement. For your convenience, a link to the current Terms of Use appears at the bottom of every page of the Site.

5. License to Use the Site.
License: We hereby grant you the limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license, under the rights Hillclimb Media has in the Content, to view and use the Site solely for the purpose of acquiring information in accordance with the Agreement. As between you and Hillclimb Media, we retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Site. Except as provided in this Agreement, permission to reprint or electronically reproduce any content in whole or in part for any other purpose is expressly prohibited. The Site and all content contained therein is protected by copyright and intellectual property rights under both United States and foreign laws and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by Hillclimb Media, its affiliates, and its partners. Subject to applicable law, Hillclimb Media reserves the right to suspend or deny, in its sole discretion, your access to all or any portion of the Site with or without notice.

The license in this Section 5 does not include permission to copy the design elements, “look and feel” or layout of the Site. Those elements are protected by law, such as trade dress, trademark, unfair competition, and other laws, and may not be copied or imitated in any manner. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Hillclimb Media nor any third party has conferred upon you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right under any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or any other proprietary right.
Free Trial: You may try the membership features of the Site for a free trial period. To begin your free trial period you must provide us with a valid credit card. At the end of the trial period, your subscription will automatically continue and we will charge your credit card on file for the cost of the term. If, during the trial period, you do not wish to subscribe to the Site you may cancel your subscription through the “My Account” link or similar link on the Site.

Subscription and Renewal: By subscribing to the Site, you agree to pay us an annual subscription fee at the then-current subscription rate. Your subscription is valid for the specified period starting from the date of purchase or activation, whichever is later. For your convenience and to ensure that your access to your subscription remains uninterrupted, unless we hear from you, we will automatically renew your subscription(s) at the expiration of the then-current term. If you elected to pay for the subscription with your credit card, we will charge your card on file for the cost of another term at the then-current rate using the information you previously provided us by phone or on our web site. You will not be notified in advance of your impending renewal. Once your free trial period expires or you activate or renew your subscription, you may not cancel your subscription during the remainder of the then-current term and we will not issue you a refund. If you wish to cancel your automatic renewal(s), you may do so by opting out of auto-renewal through the “My Account” link or similar link on the Site.

Termination: We may, at any time and without notice to you, terminate your access to the Site or block your access to the Site if:

We believe in our sole discretion that you have violated these Terms or have otherwise engaged in any activities that may harm or damage the reputation, rights, person, or property of the Site, our users, or any other person;

Requested by law enforcement or other government agencies; or

Your account has extended periods of inactivity.

If applicable law requires us to provide notice of termination or cancellation, we may give prior or subsequent notice by posting in on the Site or by sending a communication to any address (email or physical) that we have for you in our records. Upon termination of your account, your agreement with us under these Terms will also terminate, except that the following provisions survive the termination: Section 6 (“Submission of Comments; Prohibited Content and Conduct”); Section 8 (“Your Representations and Warranties”); Section 12 (“Indemnity”); Section 13 (“Disclaimers of Warranties”); Sec. 15 (“Exclusive Remedy; Damage Exclusions & Limitations”); Sec. 17 (“Miscellaneous; Entire Agreement”); and the Privacy Policy.
6. Submission of Comments; Prohibited Content and Conduct.
Any comments or information that you provide to Hillclimb Media, for example, feedback or ideas in response to a customer survey regarding the Site, product or content reviews, suggestions, ideas, concepts, or other information are collectively deemed “Submissions”. None of the Submissions will be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Hillclimb Media, and Hillclimb Media will not be liable for any use or disclosure (including publication in any medium) of any Submissions. You hereby grant Hillclimb Media a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, world-wide license to use, copy, reproduce, create derivative works from, adapt, modify, publish, edit, translate, sell, distribute, transmit, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, and display the Submissions without any limitation and in any media or any form now known or later developed. Without limiting the foregoing, Hillclimb Media will be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions. Further, Hillclimb Media may sublicense these rights to third parties.
Under no circumstance is Hillclimb Media responsible for any Submission to the Site or for the content of that Submission, nor shall Hillclimb Media be held liable for any of the claims made therein. We are not responsible for the content or accuracy of any of these Submissions, and the views and opinions they express are solely those of the original contributor.
Advertising on Hillclimb Media:
If you are retailing other related products or services and wish to advertise those products or services elsewhere on our Site, outside of our forums, please visit our Advertising page.
All other Submissions or user-generated content or posts to the Site, whether through the forums, reviews, or any method or on any other page of the Site must be free of advertising or spamming. We reserve the right to edit or remove any Submissions that violate these policies, or to terminate your membership or right to access the Site for such violations.
Moderation & Posting Rules:
All forum posts and forum private messages must be in English. No other languages are permitted.
Although messages posted are not the responsibility of Hillclimb Media and we are not responsible for the content or accuracy of any of these messages, we reserve the right for ourselves and our agents to edit or delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. Generally we only moderate reviews, messages, Submissions, or posts that are in breach of our rules or policies or threads that have not been accessed for some time. If you do find any reviews, messages, Submissions, or posts are objectionable then please contact us with a link to the item in question. We are particularly concerned with hate language and we will not hesitate to ban frequent or extreme offenders breaching any of our rules or policies.
You must only post in the relevant forum or area on the Site and should not take a thread off topic. You can start a new thread and link any side issues as needed. You agree not to spam on the Site or harvest contact information for commercial gain. Posts should only be made once and in one area only. You may not cross post. A moderator may link a thread to several forums if necessary rather than cross posting in multiple places. Posts may only be bumped if they are beneath closed posts. Junk posts such as random characters, irrelevant garbage or a short message that adds nothing new to a thread (such as just 'LOL') are prohibited. Basically, don't spam or flood please. Thanks!
You agree to refrain from swearing, profanity, foul language, discourteous behavior, racial, national or sexual slurs or other inappropriate or illegal behavior on the Site. No warez links or crack how-tos or posts of a pornographic or sexual nature please. No links to inappropriate content please. This is a family friendly Site.
You agree not to use the Site to post any material which is illegal or that may generally be deemed to be vulgar, defamatory, inaccurate, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented or violates any laws. Our reference to swearing includes acronyms and variations and misspellings. We understand that sometimes posters will wish to vehemently disagree with someone else's post. This is fine but personal attacks or responses resorting to vulgar language are not permitted. Should a moderator or Site administrator intercede in a thread due to it getting out of hand, he she may optionally close the thread (temporarily until people cool down or permanently) or request that members make no more than one more post on the subject (closing arguments.) You may not continue such “flame” topics by starting a new thread or post more than the one time as directed but you may edit your existing posts as desired should you have the ability to do so.
Prohibited Content:
You must not post to the Site or provide any Submissions that, as reasonably determined by us, is or appears to be the following:
untrue, misleading, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, invasive to another person's privacy or protected data, hateful, or racially or otherwise objectionable;
infringing upon a third party's intellectual property rights, including any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, including any content that is the subject of any claim of infringement;
