Comments and submissions
If you submit comments, tips, or other material to the Site, you keep ownership of what you wrote, but you grant AkronScore a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, publish, edit, and display it in connection with the Site. Do not submit anything you do not have the right to share. Comment conduct rules are in the Comment Policy.
News content and reliance
Our content is journalism, provided for general information. It is not legal, medical, financial, or investment advice, and you should not treat it as a substitute for professional guidance. News also moves: a story accurate at publication can be overtaken by events. See the full Disclaimer and our Corrections Policy for how we handle updates and errors.
Third-party links and services
Articles link to external websites as part of sourcing and attribution. We do not control those sites and accept no responsibility for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. A link is a citation, not an endorsement.
Advertising
The Site displays third-party advertising. Advertisers are responsible for their own claims and offers. Any transaction between you and an advertiser is strictly between the two of you.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AkronScore and its operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AkronScore and its operator from claims, damages, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Site.
Changes to the Site and these Terms
We may modify or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We may also revise these Terms; changes take effect when posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
