We may modify these Terms of Use from time to time upon written notice or posting to the Site. It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Use periodically.

1. General Provisions
The Site is owned and operated by Reportable, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The Site is a facilitator of communications between certain parties, namely our customers who engage us to place their content on the Site for the purpose of communicating such content (each a “Client”, and the “Client Content”) and users. The Client Content displayed on the Site is provided, and delivered by the Client, not us. We do not maintain editorial control of the Client Content and are in no way responsible for the Client Content or its accuracy or the claims made therein. All questions regarding the Client Content should be directed to the appropriate Client either via the Site or via some other method.
2. Fees for Use of the Site; Appropriate Use of the Site
The Site is made available to view via the internet for no charge. Use of the Site as a Client requires a purchase of services at our then-current rates (the “Service”). The fee for the Service and the features of the Service shall be determined from time to time by us and we may change the fee for the Service at any time in our sole discretion.
3. Intellectual Property; Compliance with Law

Further, you may not, and agree not to, sell, license or otherwise provide access to and/or use of any of the Site, the Content, or the Client Content to any third party for any purpose whatsoever, including to build or offer a product or service that, in our good faith judgment, is competitive with our products or services. You may download the Content and the Client Content to your computer or your device and print out a hard copy for your reference and internal use and display, but you will not remove any copyright, trademark or other notices or disclaimers contained in the Content or the Client Content.

Should any term or provision of these Terms of Use be deemed or held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions will continue in full force and effect. Our failure to insist at any time upon strict compliance with any term of these Terms of Use, or any delay or failure on our part to exercise any power or right given to us in these Terms of Use, or a continued course of such conduct on our part will at no time operate as a waiver of such power or right, nor will any single or partial exercise preclude any other future exercise.
