For the songbirds to be heard — but every place worth speaking needs a few honest ground rules. Here they are, in plain language first, with the full legal terms below.
By using notems in any way — browsing, joining, buying, selling, or publishing a notem — you agree to these terms. If you have questions, reach out through the Help section of the Site.
1. What Notems Is
Notems is a platform where members can publish notems, offer goods and services, and connect with other people.
Notems may provide tools that help members buy and sell goods or services, including payment, delivery, or other commerce features. Unless we expressly state otherwise for a particular service, sellers are responsible for the goods and services they offer, and transactions are between buyers and sellers.
We don't control or guarantee the quality, accuracy, safety, legality, or availability of what members post, offer, or sell, and we can't guarantee that a transaction between members will be completed. We encourage you to use good judgment when dealing with other members and to understand what you're buying or selling before completing a transaction.
You use Notems at your own risk, and you're responsible for your own conduct and content on the Site.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. By registering, you confirm that you're 18 or older and that the information you provide is accurate. Anyone under 18 may only use notems under the direct supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be responsible for that use.
You agree to comply with applicable law, to keep your account information accurate and current, and to keep your password secure — you're responsible for activity on your account resulting from a failure to do so. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
Accounts are personal and may not be sold or transferred. If you're registering on behalf of a business, you confirm you have authority to bind that business to these terms.
Notems is free to join, write, publish, read, and share.
Notems may also offer optional paid features, services, commerce tools, or other products. These may include transaction or platform fees associated with buying or selling goods or services through Notems. Any applicable fees will be clearly disclosed before you choose to use the paid feature or complete the transaction.
We may change our fees or introduce new paid features from time to time. Any changes will apply prospectively and will be disclosed before they apply to your use of the relevant paid feature or service.
We will not charge you for simply joining Notems or place the basic ability to write, publish, read, or share behind a paywall.
You're responsible for everything you post, publish, or transmit on notems. Your content and conduct on the Site must not:
We reserve the right to remove content that violates these terms, with or without notice.
We may suspend or terminate your account, remove your content, or restrict your access to notems, with or without notice, if:
You may also close your account at any time. Certain provisions of these terms — including those covering content licensing, liability, dispute resolution, and intellectual property — survive termination of your account.
You own what you create. By posting content on Notems, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content through Notems and features or services that are designed to distribute Notems content, including embedded displays and widgets on third-party websites. We don't claim ownership of your content, and we won't use it in ways unrelated to operating the platform without asking you first.
If you obtain another member's personal information through a transaction on notems, you may only use it for that transaction or related communication — not for unsolicited marketing.
Content on notems is created by our members, not by us. We don't pre-screen it, and you may encounter content that's inaccurate, offensive, or otherwise not to your liking. We're not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of member-generated content, or for third-party sites linked from notems.
If a dispute arises between you and notems, contact us first — most things can be resolved directly. If it can't be resolved that way, disputes will be settled by binding arbitration in Denver County, Colorado, under the rules of JAMS then in effect, before a single arbitrator. Either party may still seek injunctive relief in court where appropriate. Any claim related to notems or these terms must be brought within one year of when it arose.
If you have a dispute with another member, notems is not a party to that dispute, and you release notems from claims arising out of it. We may, at our discretion, try to help members resolve disputes, but we're not obligated to and won't make legal determinations in doing so.
The notems name, logo, and related marks belong to notems and may not be used without permission in a way likely to cause confusion.
You may not use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools to access or copy content from notems, except as expressly permitted, and you may not interfere with the proper functioning of the Site.
We handle your information according to our Privacy Policy. We store data on secure systems and won't sell your personal information to third parties without your consent.
NOTEMS IS PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION YOU RECEIVE FROM NOTEMS CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPLICITLY STATED HERE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DON'T ALLOW THESE DISCLAIMERS, SO THIS MAY NOT FULLY APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOTEMS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, NOTEMS' LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO NOTEMS DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR $100, EXCEPT WHERE APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES OTHERWISE.
You agree to indemnify notems and its officers, employees, and agents against claims arising from your breach of these terms or your violation of any law or third party's rights.
No guaranteed uptime: We don't guarantee uninterrupted access to notems.
Your own compliance: You're responsible for complying with applicable law in your use of notems, including any taxes owed on sales you make through the Site.
Severability: If any part of this agreement is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
No partnership: Using notems doesn't create a partnership, agency, or employment relationship between you and notems.
Changes: We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll provide reasonable notice by posting the updated terms on Notems, by email, or by another appropriate method. Changes will apply prospectively from their stated effective date. Where applicable law requires affirmative consent, we'll ask for it.
Governing law: These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.
