AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND PROGRESS

MyLandAlert is a web service operated by Professional Governmental Research & Solutions, Inc. ("ProGResS") that permits you to enter personal and/or business names which will be used to send alert notifications when a land document or other legal record is recorded with the local government recording office with the matching information.

For convenience, we will refer to the content on www.mylandalert.com and other ProGResS web sites together as the "Network."  We will refer to the content available on the Network and the services available as part of the Network as the "Network Services."

These Terms of Use constitute a legal agreement between you and ProGResS.  You must accept without modification all of the terms, conditions, and notices contained in these Terms of Use in order to access and use the Network Services.  If you do not accept these Terms of Use in their entirety, you may not access or use the Network Services.

Portions of the Network Services may be governed by posted guidelines, rules, or other terms and conditions.  All such guidelines, rules, and terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use.  In the event of a conflict between such other guidelines, rules, and terms and conditions and these Terms of Use, the Terms of Use shall prevail.  However, the ProGResS Privacy Policy, discussed in the Privacy and Personal Information section below, supersedes any conflicting language in these Terms of Use and/or any other guidelines, rules, and terms and conditions published on the Network Services with respect to the subject matter covered by the ProGResS Privacy Statement.

MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE

ProGResS may wish to update or change the terms, conditions and notices for the Network Services from time to time to reflect changes in the service, changes in the laws affecting the Network Services, or for other good reasons.  You understand that ProGResS reserves the right to make these changes and that you are responsible for regularly reviewing these terms, conditions and notices.  Continued access to or use of the Network Services after any such change shall constitute your consent to such change.  Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that change or improve the Network Services shall be subject to the Terms of Use, as modified from time to time.

PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE LIMITATION

You may only use the Network Services for your own personal and non-commercial purposes.  You must enter into a different legal agreement with ProGResS if you wish to offer the Network Services to users of your own application, web site or web service.  You may not use any software or hardware that reduces the number of users directly accessing or using the Network Services (sometimes called "multiplexing" or "pooling" software or hardware).

You may not extract information and services provided by MyLandAlert by automated means.  The information is only available via the published access mechanisms and other unattended automated methods of extractions are prohibited.  ProGResS may use throttling methods to limit continuous automated network extraction.

You may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, software, products or services that are part of the Network Services except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use.

All access to the MyLandAlert must be gained by first signing into a valid MyLandAlert account.  Failure to comply with published access methods shall entitle ProGResS to block access by whatever means available.

PRIVACY AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

You are required to have a MyLandAlert account to use the Network Services.  To set up an account, you must provide information about yourself and update this information as necessary in order to keep it current.  ProGResS agrees that it will only use your personal information in accordance with the terms of the MyLandAlert Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account information.  Furthermore, you are responsible for all activities that occur in your account and you agree to notify ProGResS immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.  ProGResS is not responsible for any loss that you may incur as a result of any unauthorized person using your account or your password.

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES

The web pages that are part of the Network Services may contain links to other web sites ("Linked Sites").  The Linked Sites are not under the control of ProGResS and ProGResS is not responsible for the contents of any Linked Site, including without limitation any link contained in a Linked Site, or any changes or updates to a Linked Site.  ProGResS is not responsible for webcasting or any other form of transmission received from any Linked Site, nor is ProGResS responsible if the Linked Site is not working appropriately.  ProGResS is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by ProGResS of the site or any association with its operators.  You are responsible for viewing and abiding by the privacy policies and terms of use posted at the Linked Sites.

You are solely responsible for any dealings with third parties (including advertisers) who support the Network Services or are identified in the web pages that are part of the Network Services, including the delivery of and payment for goods and services.

NO UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED USE

As a condition of your use of the Network Services, you agree that you will not use the Network Services for any purpose that is unlawful or contrary to these Terms of Use.  You also may not use the Network Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Network Services or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of them.  You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any MyLandAlert account, computer systems or networks associated with the Network Services.  You may not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available or provided for through the Network Services.

TERMS OF USE FOR PROGRESS PARTICIPATING SITES AND SERVICES

GENERAL

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, U.S.A.  You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Rutherford County, Tennessee, U.S.A. in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Network Services.  You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and ProGResS as a result of these Terms of Use or use of the Network Services.
