A Note from the Team
The SuperOffice Network is the easiest way to get expert answers to your questions. We created it to give everyone a chance to be recognized by their peers: recognized for their knowledge, their passion, and their willingness to help others get better at the things they are passionate about. We do ask that you treat our service and community with respect. Spam, personal attacks, and abusive language do not have a place on the SuperOffice Network. If you ever stumble across anything on the SuperOffice Network that looks like it violates our policies, please be sure to let us know.
Accepting the Terms of Service
The SuperOffice Network (the “Network”) is a set of related websites for questions and answers, owned and operated by SuperOffice AS. (“SuperOffice”), a Norwegian company. Please read these terms of service (“Agreement”) carefully before using the Network or any services provided on the Network (collectively, “Services”). By using or accessing the Services, you agree to become bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not use the Services. The Services are accessed by You (“Subscriber” or “You”) under the following terms and conditions:
1. Access to the Services
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SuperOffice may offer to provide the Services, as described more fully on the Network, and which are selected by Subscriber, solely for Subscriber’s own use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party. Services shall include, but not be limited to, any services SuperOffice performs for Subscriber, as well as the offering of any Content (as defined below) on the Network. SuperOffice may change, suspend or discontinue the Services at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or Content. SuperOffice may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict Subscriber’s access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. SuperOffice reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify these Terms of Service at any time by posting revised Terms of Service on the Network and by providing notice via e-mail, where possible, or on the Network. Subscriber shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Use of the Services by Subscriber following such modification constitutes Subscriber's acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as modified.
Subscriber certifies to SuperOffice that if Subscriber is an individual (i.e., not a corporate entity), Subscriber is at least 13 years of age. No one under the age of 13 may provide any personal information to or on SuperOffice (including, for example, a name, address, telephone number or email address). Subscriber also certifies that it is legally permitted to use the Services and access the Network, and takes full responsibility for the selection and use of the Services and access of the Network. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Network is revoked in such jurisdictions. SuperOffice makes no claim that the Network may be lawfully viewed or that Content may be downloaded outside of Norway. Access to the Content may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If You access the Network from outside of Norway, You do so at Your own risk and You are responsible for compliance with the laws of Your jurisdiction.
SuperOffice will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Network and Services are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. However, there will be occasions when the Network and/or Services will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and repairs or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment. Every reasonable step will be taken by SuperOffice to minimize such disruption where it is within SuperOffice’s reasonable control.
You agree that neither SuperOffice nor the Network will be liable in any event to You or any other party for any suspension, modification, discontinuance or lack of availability of the Network, the service, any Subscriber Content, or other Content.
SuperOffice retains the right to create limits on use and storage in its sole discretion at any time with or without notice.
Subscriber shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to, access the Network or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, software, and long distance or local telephone service. Subscriber shall be responsible for ensuring that such equipment or ancillary services are compatible with the Services.
