User Content
Your Responsibility For the Content You Submit
The Services may enable you to provide, submit, post, upload, or otherwise make available via the Website, email, telephone, online surveys, or otherwise (collectively, “submit”) content such as reviews, comments, messages, and other content (collectively, “User Content”) that may or may not be viewable by other users.
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all User Content you submit. Once User Content is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn. Any User Content you submit must be accurate and up to date. You agree that you have all the required rights to submit, use, or disseminate such User Content without violating any third-party rights.
You assume all risk for any User Content you submit, including anyone’s reliance upon such User Content. You may expose yourself to liability if you submit User Content that is false, misleading, defamatory, violates any third-party right or contractual restriction, or contains unlawful material. You agree that you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Techreviewer for all claims resulting from User Content that you submit, including but not limited to claims alleging defamation. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of such disputes, and in any event, you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.
You further acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject, move, edit, or remove any User Content that is contributed to the Services for any reason or no reason, but we do not assume the obligation. For example, we may remove a review if we, in our sole discretion, believe it violations our Review Guidelines. Techreviewer has no obligation to retain or provide you copies of the User Content.
Your Risk in Using User Content
You acknowledge and agree that we do not verify, adopt, ratify, or sanction User Content and that you must evaluate and bear all risks associated with your use of or reliance on User Content. Reference to any products, services, processes, or other information, by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier or otherwise, and any ranking on the Services does not constitute or imply endorsement or recommendation thereof by Techreviewer. User Content and rankings consist of the opinions of third parties and may contain inaccuracies. Techreviewer makes no assurances regarding the quality, accuracy, or reliability of any User Content or rankings on the Services. You also understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to User Content that you may consider offensive or objectionable.
From time to time, Techreviewer may provide incentives to encourage users to submit reviews. Any such incentives are not dependent on whether the review is positive or negative.
Techreviewer is under no obligation to enforce the Terms on your behalf. You may notify Techreviewer if you believe another user has violated the Terms; however, Techreviewer reserves the right, in its sole discretion to investigate violations of and enforce the Terms.
Your Risks in Leveraging Techreviewer’s Shortlist and Consultation Service (the “Service”)
Techreviewer is an identification, verification, and source tool for professional services providers (“Vendors”) and potential clients of such providers seeking quality services (“Clients”). Any engagement between you and any counterparties identified through the Service is at your own risk. Techreviewer recommends that Vendors and Clients contract through appropriate legal services contracts, as reviewed and approved by respective legal counsel. The Service does not guarantee results and Techreviewer will not be liable for any issues arising between Vendors and Clients, as such a relationship is a private contract between third parties.
Clients should note that Techreviewer does not guarantee or endorse the Techreviewer verified or sponsored / featured Vendors. Techreviewer does not prefer or endorse the services of any one of the Vendors featured on the platform. Any fees earned by Techreviewer are solely in connection with the maintenance and provision of the Site and the Services.
The information disclosed during the submission of a request form is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the services of Techreviewer, the user may share some personal information, as defined in the Privacy Policy, as well as information concerning the user’s needs. All users of the Techreviewer project form agree to share this information with service providers that are featured on the Techreviewer platform as well as our affiliate network and partners.
By sending Techreviewer this information, all users agree to be contacted by Techreviewer, any service providers that are featured on the Techreviewer platform, as well as by the Techreviewer affiliate network and partners, by phone, by fax, by email, by mail or by any other reasonable means of communications, using the phone numbers and addresses that the user has provided in their project request form.
If the information submitted by the user, is fully or partially inaccurate, or Techreviewer has any reasonable grounds to believe that the information is inaccurate, not up-to-date, false or incomplete, Techreviewer reserves the right to refuse the processing of the request form.
The profiles that appear on Techreviewer are for informational purposes only. Despite our efforts to provide useful and the most accurate information, errors may appear from time to time, usually as a result of user-generated content, but potentially for a number of reasons. Techreviewer does its best to keep up with the errors and correct them as soon as possible. Even though Techreviewer does our best in this regard, Techreviewer is not responsible for such errors. Before services from the Vendors found on the Techreviewer platform are purchased, Clients should confirm with the Vendor all information and conduct their own evaluation as to whether the Vendor is suitable for the Client project. Techreviewer is not responsible for and does not guarantee the performance of any Services provided by the Vendors featured on the platform.
