Mahj MATters Terms of Use (last updated Oct 30, 2023)
Welcome to the Terms of Use for Mahj MATters. Users of our website (the "Site") are provided with a variety of information and services, including search capabilities, access to reviews, the ability to submit reviews for other users, and shopping opportunities, including Frequent Buyer Incentive Programs (collectively, the "Mahj MATters Service"). By using the Site, you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use. Please review the Terms of Use carefully. If you do not agree to any of these Terms of Use, then you probably should not use the Site.
The term "Mahj MATters" or "us" or "we" refers to Kochloeffel LLC, the owner of the Site. The term "you" refers to the user or viewer of the Site.
We place the utmost importance on your security and privacy, and the safety of any information you have shared with us. You can review our Privacy Policy, including data retention, data processing, data anonymity and erasure procedures, and related information, here.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time, and without prior notice, by posting amended Terms of Use on the Site. Your continued use of the Mahj MATters Service indicates your acceptance of the amended Terms of Use. If you do not agree with the Terms of Use at any time, then you may “opt-out” and terminate your relationship with the Site. If you subsequently establish a new relationship with the Site, then it will be subject to the then-current Terms of Use.
Limitations of Use
Your license for access to and use of the Mahj MATters Service and any information, materials and documents on the Site are subject to the following restrictions and prohibitions on use: (a) You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, display, post, or transmit any material contained on the Site in any form or by any means, including, but not limited to, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without the express prior written consent of Mahj MATters; (b) You may not use the Site or any materials obtained from the Site to develop, or as a component of, any information, storage and retrieval system, database, information base, or similar resource (in any media now existing or hereafter developed), that is offered for commercial distribution of any kind, including through sale, lease, license, rental, subscription, or any other commercial distribution mechanism. You also may not "mirror" any material contained on the Site on any other server. Any unauthorized use of any content on the Site may violate applicable copyright laws, trademark laws, laws of privacy and publicity, and communications statutes and regulations. Elements of the Site that are licensed to us are subject to the same conditions.
Access to Service
Use of manual or automated software, devices, or other processes to "crawl" or "spider" any web pages contained in the Site, without attribution, is prohibited. You agree not to monitor or copy, or to allow others to monitor or copy, our web pages or any content included on the Site. You also agree not to "frame" or otherwise simulate the appearance or functionality of the Site. Furthermore, you agree not to take any action that interferes with the proper working of, or places an unreasonable load on, our infrastructure, including but not limited to unsolicited communications, attempts to gain unauthorized access, or transmission or activation of computer viruses.
Links to Third Party Sites
The Site may contain links to web sites controlled, owned, and/or operated by third parties (the "third-party sites"). Mahj MATters cannot control and has no responsibility for the accuracy or availability of information provided on the third-party sites. You acknowledge that the use of any third-party sites is governed by the terms of use for those websites, and not by this Agreement. Links to third-party sites do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by Mahj MATters of such sites or the content, products, advertising, or other materials presented on such sites (except as expressly stated on the Site), but are for your convenience and that you may access them at your own risk. Third-party sites may have a privacy policy different from that of Mahj MATters and the third-party sites may provide less security than the Site. We are not responsible for the content of any third-party sites, and we do not make any warranties or representations, express or implied, about the security or content (or the accuracy of any such content) on any third-party sites. We shall have no liability of any nature whatsoever for the security, or any failure of products or services offered or advertised, at third party sites, or otherwise.
Reviews
You retain all of your ownership rights in and to any reviews, ratings, or other content that you submit to the Site (“Submissions”). Your Submissions also grant to Mahj MATters a non-exclusive, royalty-free, global, and perpetual license to use, display, reproduce, sublicense, transfer, modify and publish all or any portion of such Submissions in connection with the Site. Mahj MATters shall not be subject to any obligations of confidentiality regarding Submissions, except as expressly agreed by Mahj MATters or as otherwise required by applicable law. This shall not be construed, in any manner, as limiting our rights and responsibilities under our Privacy Policy.
You may delete all or any part of your Submissions at any time and the license granted to Mahj MATters shall terminate upon your deletion of such Submissions from the Site.
Indemnification
By accepting these Terms of Use, you agree to indemnify and otherwise hold harmless Kochloeffel LLC and any of its officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, from any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages assessed by a court of competent jurisdiction, resulting from your use of the Site.

All terminations shall be made in our sole discretion and we shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your account or your access to the Mahj MATters Service.
You further agree that you will not: (a) submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret, or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy, publicity, or moral rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post such material and to grant to us all of the rights granted herein; (b) submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate, in our sole judgment and discretion; (c) post advertisements or solicitations of business; or (d) impersonate another person.
Intellectual Property Complaints
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and we will prohibit users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on the Site, or in connection with Mahj MATters Service, any materials that violate a third party's intellectual property rights. If we receive proper notice of any such violation, then we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and terminate the accounts of infringers, in accordance with the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe that any material on the Site infringes upon any intellectual property right that you own or control, then you may send a written notification to our Data Protection Officer.
Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. In our sole discretion, we also may limit access to the Site and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
