This Site may contain links to Sites maintained by third parties. Such links are provided for your convenience and reference only. If you use these links you will leave our Site. Conversely, Sites operated by entities other than us may contain links to our Site. The linked and linking sites are not under our control and we are not responsible for the contents, software, products or services available on any linked or linking site or any link contained in a linked or linking site or any changes or updates to such sites. We provide links as a convenience only. The existence of any link on our Site does not mean that we endorse, support or accept any responsibility for the content or use of such sites. You are solely responsible for the results and consequences of your use of such links. We reserve the right to discontinue any linked site at any time without prior notice. Please contact the web masters of any linked sites concerning any information, goods and/or services appearing thereon.

(a) Treeline and this Site may act as a venue for users to post and share information. Treeline does not screen or censor the listings offered. Treeline is not involved in the actual communication between users. As a result, and although users have represented that user information is accurate, Treeline has no control over the quality, safety, legality, truth or accuracy of the Content. Treeline reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor interactions between you and other users of the Site. In the event that Treeline becomes aware of any content that does not meet Treeline’s standards, in Treeline’ sole discretion, then Treeline may remove such content immediately and without notice.

(b) In addition, please note that there are risks associated with your use of the Site, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other users with whom you come in contact through the Site and recognize that by its very nature, other people's information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that you will use caution and common sense when using the Site.

(c) Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, Treeline cannot and does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be and you agree and acknowledge that some such claims or statements may be intentionally or unintentionally false. Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behavior of participants on any Site, you agree and accept the risk that you may have a dispute with one or more users. We do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behavior of participants on any Site.

(d) The Site may contain inaccuracies or errors. Treeline makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the Site or any content thereon. The use of the Site is at your own risk. Changes are periodically made to the Site and may be made at any time.

(e) Treeline cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of Site. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Treeline or the Site shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

Any and all litigation arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Site or the Content, the products and services offered and described thereupon will be filed and prosecuted before any court of competent subject matter jurisdiction in the State of Michigan. The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction of such courts over them, stipulate to the convenience, efficiency and fairness of proceeding in such courts, and covenant not to allege or assert the inconvenience, inefficiency or unfairness of proceeding in such courts. The parties further agree to the service of process by overnight courier or electronic means, including without limitation, e-mail.

The failure of Treeline to exercise or enforce any term will not constitute a waiver of such term. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11(b) to the contrary, this Agreement is subordinate to, and does not supercede, any other past, present or future agreement between you and Above the Treeline, Inc. including without limitation, any click-through agreement to which you assent; to the extent that this Agreement conflicts with any such agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall be reformed so as to be consistent with such agreement.
