Our Terms of Use

To support our vibrant community, we provide the essential infrastructure. We strive to make and keep educational and informational content from Nickname Finder Pro available on the internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

We (Nickname Finder Pro site administrator with friends) welcome you (“you” or the “user”) as a reader, editor, author, or contributor of Nickname Finder Pro, and we encourage you to join Nickname Finder Pro community. Before you participate, however, we ask that you please read and agree to the following Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”). If you do not agree with our Terms of Use, you cannot use our services.

Overview

These Terms of Use tell you about our public services at the Nickname Finder Pro, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We want you to know that we host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, some of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. This means that editorial control is in the hands of you and your fellow users who create and manage the content. We merely host this content.

The community – the network of users who are constantly building and using Nickname Finder Pro – are the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our site.

You are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow the policies. Because we are dedicated to making content freely accessible to the public, we generally require that all content you contribute is available under a free license or in the public domain.

Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and re-use of Nickname Finder Pro content under the laws of the Russian Federation and other applicable laws (which may include the laws where you live or where you view or edit content). This means it is important that you use caution when posting content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot post, most of which is either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question (such as medical, legal, or financial issues), you should seek the help of a licensed or qualified professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

1. Our Services

Nickname Finder Pro is dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free multilingual content, and to hosting the full content for the public free of charge. However, we act only as a hosting service, maintaining the infrastructure and organizational framework that allows our users to build Nickname Finder Pro by contributing and editing content themselves. Because of our unique role, there are a couple of things you should be aware of when considering our relationship to you and the other users:

1. We do not take an editorial role: Because Nickname Finder Pro is collaboratively edited, all of the content that we host is provided by users like yourself, and we do not take an editorial role. This means that we generally do not monitor or edit the content of the Nickname Finder Pro websites, and we do not take any responsibility for this content. Similarly, we do not endorse any opinions expressed via our services, and we do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any submitted community content. Instead, we simply provide access to the content that your fellow users have contributed and edited. However, any of your contributions or changes can be rejected or deleted at any time without explanation.
2. You are responsible for your own actions: You are legally responsible for your edits and contributions on Nickname Finder Pro, so for your own protection you should exercise caution and avoid contributing any content that may result in criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. For clarity, applicable law includes at least the laws of the Russian Federation and the United States of America. Although we may not agree with such actions, we warn editors and contributors that authorities may seek to apply other country laws to you, including local laws where you live or where you view or edit content. We generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification.

2. Privacy Policy

Because our services are used by people all over the world, personal information that we collect may be stored and processed in the Russian Federation or the United States of America or any other country in which we or our agents maintain facilities. By using our services, you consent to any such transfer of information outside your country.

3. Content We Host

1. You may find some material objectionable or erroneous: Because we provide a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable.

2. Our content is for general informational purposes only: Although we host a great deal of information, this content is presented for general informational purposes only.
