Responsibility and Content Guidelines

Hardtraxx enables online discussions, and in doing so, freedom of expression and identity are core values of the Service. There are a number of categories of content and behavior, however, that jeopardize the Service by posing risk to users, publishers or third party services utilizing the Hardtraxx platform. Users publishing inappropriate content or exhibiting inappropriate behaviors in connection with their use of the Service, including from the following categories, may have their Hardtraxx account suspended or terminated:

The above list may be modified or expanded at any time, and individual account deactivation decisions remain at the sole discretion of Hardtraxx.

What are the basics of using the Service?

You may be required to sign up for an account, and select a password and user name. As a condition to using the Service or in order to create certain statements through the Service, you may be required to supply Hardtraxx with certain registration information, including a valid email address or third-party sites or services you access through Hardtraxx.

You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. You may not (i) select or use as your username a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; or (ii) use as your username a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (iii) use as your username a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. Hardtraxx reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel a username in its discretion. You shall not use another user's account or any other person's registration information for the Service, any other mobile phones or other mobile devices, or any third party services you access through the Service, without that person's permission.

Your right to use the Service continues until it is terminated by either party. You may terminate by discontinuing use of the Service. Hardtraxx may terminate at any time for any reason. Your use terminates automatically if (i) you violate any term of these Terms, (ii) Hardtraxx publicly posts a written notice of termination on the Service, (iii) Hardtraxx sends a written notice of termination to you, or (iv) Hardtraxx ceases providing access to the Service to you.

Hardtraxx will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. However, there will be occasions when the Service will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and emergency repairs. Every reasonable step will be taken by Hardtraxx to minimize such disruption where it is within Hardtraxx's reasonable control. You agree that Hardtraxx will not be liable in any event to you or any other party for any suspension, modification, discontinuance or lack of availability of the Service.

You shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to, access or otherwise use the Service, including, without limitation, mobile phones, modems, hardware, software, data plans, and long distance or local telephone service. You shall be responsible for ensuring that such equipment or ancillary services are compatible with the Service.

Will Hardtraxx ever change the Service?

We're always trying to improve the Service, so it may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Service. We'll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Service that would adversely affect you, but this isn't always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Service at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.
