We may modify this Agreement at any time, and each such modification will be effective upon the “Effective Date” stated at the top of this Agreement. All material modifications will apply prospectively only. Your continued use of the WRGG Sites or the WRGG Services following any modification constitutes your acceptance and agreement to be bound by the Agreement as so modified. It is therefore important that you review this Agreement regularly and it your responsibility to do so.
Your access to and use of certain parts of the WRGG Sites or WRGG Services may require you to accept additional terms and conditions and may require you to download Software or Content (each as defined below). We will provide these terms to you or post them where they apply and they are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any additional terms that apply to a particular Service, the additional terms will control.
BY USING ANY WRGG SITE OR WRGG SERVICES YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT AND BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement and to abide by all Applicable Law, you must discontinue use of the WRGG Services immediately.

You understand that User Content will be publicly displayed and may include your personally identifiable information if you provide it. Please use your best judgment when using the WRGG Sites and Services. We discourage divulging personal phone numbers and addresses or other information that can be used to identify or locate you. Remember that whenever you give out personal information online, through any media, including without limitation, a forum or blog, that information can be collected and used by people you do not know. We cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information you disclose through any of these media; you make such disclosures at your own risk. You understand that we may publish your username in connection with any submission. If you use your legal name as your username, then your legal name may be published.
WRGG does not control, pre-screen or otherwise monitor the User Content posted by users and, as such, you understand you may be exposed to offensive, indecent, inaccurate or otherwise objectionable Content. WRGG does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of User Content and we assume no responsibility or liability for any User Content. If at any time, WRGG chooses in its sole discretion to monitor User Content, WRGG nonetheless assumes no responsibility for Content other than WRGG Content, assumes no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Content, and no responsibility for the conduct of any user.
You are entirely responsible for all User Content that you post, upload, transmit, email or otherwise make available on, through or in connection with the WRGG Sites or Services.

WRGG does not claim any ownership rights in the User Content that you post, upload, email transmit, or otherwise make available on, through or in connection with the WRGG Sites or Services; provided, however, that User Content will not include any Content posted by a user that is already owned by WRGG. By posting any User Content you hereby grant to WRGG and our affiliated companies, licensees and authorized users, a perpetual, non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable (in whole or in part), worldwide license to use, modify, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and compilations based upon, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such User Content on, through or in connection with the WRGG Sites and Services or in connection with any distribution or syndication thereof to Third Party Services (as defined below), on and through all media formats now known or hereafter devised, for any and all purposes including, but not limited to, promotional, marketing, trade or commercial purposes. You hereby waive any moral rights you may have in your User Content.

Our publication of a Classified Ad does not constitute an agreement for continued publication. We will accept only standard abbreviations and proper punctuation in Classified Ads.

We do not knowingly accept advertisements regarding employment that are not ads for bona fide job opportunities. Nor do we knowingly accept advertisements for tobacco, gentlemen’s clubs, adult-oriented materials or services or offshore or Internet gambling.
*Copyrights and Other Intellectual Property*
WRGG respects the intellectual property of others, and requires that our users do the same. You may not upload, embed, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that infringes any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any person or entity. WRGG has a policy of terminating repeat infringers’ access to the WRGG Sites and Services in appropriate circumstances.
If you believe that any material residing on an WRGG Site infringes your copyright, please send WRGG’s Copyright Agent (i) a detailed description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works; (ii) identification of the claimed infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material on the WRGG Sites (such as the URL(s) of the claimed infringing material); (iii) your contact information, including name, an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address; (iv) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (v) a statement by you that the information in your notification is accurate and a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf; and (vi) your physical or electronic signature. WRGG’s Copyright Agent for notification of claimed infringement can be reached as follows: By email: Administrator@WRGG.org By phone: (717) 745-2912 By mail: Privacy Administrator 113 Carlisle Street Greencastle, PA 17225
Upon receipt of a notice of claimed infringement that satisfies these requirements (or any statement in conformance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), we will act expeditiously to investigate and, if applicable, remove or disable access to any Content that is claimed to be infringing upon the copyright of any person under the laws of the United States and will terminate the access privileges of those who repeatedly infringe on the copyrights of others. United States law imposes substantial penalties for falsely submitting a notice of copyright infringement.
* Third Party Links and Services*
The WRGG Sites and Services may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other websites, applications, resources or other services created by third parties (“Third Party Services”). When you engage with a Third Party Service, you are interacting with the third party, not with WRGG, and we do not assume responsibility for third parties’ actions or omissions. If you choose to use a Third Party Service and share information with it, the Third Party Services may use and share your data in accordance with the Third Party Service’s privacy policy and your privacy settings on such Third Party Service. In addition, the third party providing the Third Party Service may use other parties to provide portions of the application or service to you, such as technology, development or payment services. WRGG is not responsible for and makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the Third Party Services or the providers of such Third Party Services (including, but not limited to, the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by such Third Party Service or the privacy practices thereof). Inclusion of any Third Party Service or a link thereto on the WRGG Sites does not imply approval or endorsement of the Third Party Service. WRGG is not responsible for the content or practices of any websites other than the WRGG Sites, even if the website links to the WRGG Sites. By using the WRGG Sites and Services, you acknowledge and agree that WRGG is not responsible or liable to you for any content or other materials hosted and served from any website other than the WRGG Sites. When you access Third Party Services, you do so at your own risk.
*Purchasing Services or Products *
If you purchase any service or product (“Products”) on, or by linking from, any of the WRGG Sites, you may be required to provide personal information, including credit card and billing information (“Personal Financial Information”), to an independent third party company or companies selected by WRGG (or, in some cases, its direct contractors), but not affiliated with WRGG (the “Processor”). Where the Processor is responsible for collecting, transmitting and/or processing your Personal Financial Information, or for fulfilling your order, all payment obligations for Products will be governed by the terms of use/service and privacy policy of the Processor. If you make a purchase from the WRGG Sites you are warranting that you are authorized to make the purchase using the form of payment card that you provide to the Processor. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase a Product.
WRGG makes no warranty, and accepts no liability for any loss or damages that you incur or any claims you may have relating to or in connection with your placement of an order for a Product with the Processor, or your dealings with or reliance on, third parties through the WRGG Sites. WRGG provides no refunds for purchases you make on the WRGG Sites. You are solely responsible for any and all transactions utilizing your Personal Financial Information, including, but not limited to, any and all charges. You acknowledge and agree that in the event Processor experiences a data breach that affects your Personal Financial Information, WRGG will in no way be responsible or liable to you for any such breach.
WRGG will not store any record of Personal Financial Information related to purchases or other transactions you make through the WRGG Sites. You should therefore maintain records of all your transactions. If you have any questions regarding your transactions or believe that there is an error or unauthorized transaction or activity associated with transactions utilizing your Personal Financial Information, you must contact the Processor.
*Fees and Charges*
We may offer trial subscriptions to paid services for free or at special discounted prices. Unless otherwise stated, these trial subscriptions and any other subscription services we provide will be automatically renewed at the current subscription rate if you do not cancel before the end of the trial or subscription period. You may need to cancel your subscription at least 10 days prior to its renewal date in order to avoid further charges. Unless otherwise stated, all fees and charges are non-refundable, including for unused portions of cancelled subscriptions. We do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering.
In addition to the general terms applicable to the WRGG Services, the following terms apply to all Services designed for wireless devices (“Mobile Services”), which we offer only to users who are 18 years of age or older and located in the fifty U.S. states or the District of Columbia unless otherwise noted.
*Your wireless provider may charge for use of Mobile Services, including fees for receipt of text messages or data transmission. In order to receive Mobile Services, your wireless provider may require you to subscribe to additional services, which may require additional fees. These fees are not charged by us, and you should contact your wireless provider before you sign up for Mobile Services to determine what fees, if any, will be charged. In addition, you agree that we may arrange for Mobile Services billing through your wireless provider and that your wireless provider may invoice you for the applicable fees or deduct them from your pre-paid balance.*
You may not transfer or copy any Content without permission from the wireless device on which you originally received Content to any other device, including, without limitation, any computer or another wireless device.
To cancel a Mobile Service that involves a subscription fee, you must follow the instructions included in the terms and conditions applicable to that Mobile Service; otherwise, you will continue to incur subscription charges. If you stop a subscription-based Mobile Service in the middle of a billing cycle, you will not receive a refund for that billing cycle.
*Short Message Service (SMS) Text Messages and Push Notifications*
With respect to the WRGG Services or Mobile Services, you may subscribe or consent to the receipt of automated text and/or voice messages or push notifications (collectively, the “Automated Messages”) as part of a sponsored promotion, a contest or sweepstakes, an advertising campaign, or a news alert. Your consent to receive such Automated Messages is important to us. By requesting to receive Automated Messages (e.g., by texting our short code to a designated number; following instructions to subscribe to a promotion, contest or sweepstakes, campaign and/or an alert; or adjusting the settings on your mobile device or within our application), you agree that WRGG and its sponsors, advertisers, and agents may send you the requested Automated Messages, which may include advertising or marketing content, using an automated dialing/messaging service. Automated Messages will be sent to the mobile number you provided pursuant to your request, and your consent to receive such Automated Messages is not a condition of any purchase.
To the extent any WRGG Services or Mobile Services involves the delivery or receipt of Automated Messages, standard messaging rates, data rates, or other carrier charges may apply. By subscribing to receive Automated Messages, you agree that WRGG and its sponsors, advertisers, and agents shall not be responsible for any carrier charges. The frequency with which we may deliver Automated Messages will vary. WRGG may, from time to time, send you Automated Messages that are required by law. As consideration for participation in any Automated Message subscriptions, you agree to notify us if you should change mobile phone numbers or mobile carriers so that we may update our records as necessary to comply with applicable laws. You have notify us in one of the following manners: By email: Administrator@WRGG.org By phone: (717) 745-2912 By mail: Privacy Administrator 113 Carlisle Street Greencastle, PA 17225
If you change mobile carriers and/or your mobile number and wish to continue receiving Automated Messages from us, please contact us to update your Automated Message subscriptions using one of the methods listed above. Your written consent will be required to re-subscribe or transfer your Automated Message subscriptions to a new mobile phone number or mobile device. WRGG reserves the right to remove subscribers at its discretion.
If you would like to discontinue or unsubscribe from receiving Automated Messages, you may do so by following the instructions contained in any such message (e.g., texting “*STOP*” in response to a text message or adjusting the settings on your mobile device or within our application to discontinue push notifications). In certain instances, you may receive one additional Automated Message confirming your request has been received. In addition, you may text “*HELP*” for help with Automated Messages. If you are still having problems or concerns regarding Automated Messages, you can email us at Administrator@WRGG.org or (717) 745-2912. Neither WRGG, its/their sponsors, advertiser, or agents, nor are any mobile carriers liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
*Events*
We may also offer services which enable our users to arrange and RSVP to attend physical events or gatherings at venues such as sports arenas and stadiums, college campuses, public parks, private homes or private enterprises that include, but are not limited to, restaurants, bars, clubs or retail stores. We do not supervise these events or gatherings and are not involved with any of the actions of the individuals at these events or gatherings. Accordingly, we have no control over the identity or actions of the individuals who are in attendance at these events or gatherings. You are solely responsible for determining if the event or gathering is safe. We do not conduct criminal, driving or other background checks of users and cannot determine if users are suitable hosts or event attendees. There are risks associated with attending an event or gathering, including, without limitation, the failure of the host and its attendees to provide a safe atmosphere, abide by Applicable Law, miscommunication regarding the details of the event or gathering, and inappropriate or dangerous conduct on the part of the host or the other attendees that may result in injury and/or death.
By registering via our Sites or Services for events and gatherings, you represent and warrant that you meet any age eligibility requirements and agree to comply with the laws of the state in which the event or gathering occurs, including laws governing alcohol consumption.
Because we (i) do not supervise or control the events, gatherings or interactions between our users and other persons, (ii) are not in any way involved with physical transportation to or from events or gatherings or with the actions of any individuals at such events or gatherings, (iii) cannot guarantee the true identity or age of our users, and (iv) have no control over the quality, safety, morality, legality, truthfulness or accuracy of various aspects of any event or gathering, you agree to bear all risk and to release us (and our officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, and third party partners) from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, now and in the future, arising out of or in any way connected with your attendance at any event or gathering, our resolution of any disputes among users, and/or your transportation to or from, attendance at, or the actions of you or other persons at an event or gathering. You further waive any and all rights and benefits otherwise conferred by any statutory or non-statutory law of any jurisdiction that would purport to limit the scope of a release or waiver.
*User Disputes*
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other WRGG users, providers of Third Party Services or any other parties with whom you interact on, through or in connection with the WRGG Sites and Services. WRGG reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with these disputes.

*Limitation on Liability*
IN NO EVENT WILL WE, OUR PARENTS, SUBSIDARIES, AFFILIATES AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SHAREHOLDERS, INFORMATION PROVIDERS, LICENSORS AND SUBLICENSEES, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, ECONOMIC OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFIT DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE WRGG SITES AND SERVICES, THE CONTENT, ANY THIRD PARTY CONTENT, MATERIAL, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WRGG SITES, OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH TRANSPORTATION TO OR FROM EVENTS OR GATHERINGS, ATTENDANCE AT EVENTS OR GATHERINGS, PARTICIPATION IN OR EXCLUSION FROM EVENTS OR GATHERINGS AND THE ACTIONS OF YOU OR OTHERS AT EVENTS OR GATHERINGS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, BUT EXCLUDING WILLFUL MISCONDUCT). NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY), WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO WRGG, OR FIFTY DOLLARS (US $50) (WHICHEVER IS LESS).
YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR RISK. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR UNLAWFUL CONDUCT OF ANY USER. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICES OR ANY OF THE CONTENT, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF YOU INCUR ANY DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF WRGG’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS, THE DAMAGES, IF ANY, ARE NOT IRREPARABLE AND ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF RESTRICTING EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEB SITE, PROPERTY, PRODUCT, PROGRAM, OR OTHER AUDIO/VISUAL CONTENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY WRGG, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THOSE INCORPORATING USER CONTENT).
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY BE WAIVING RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS THAT ARE UNKNOWN OR ARE UNSUSPECTED. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAW, INCLUDING, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542, THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT LIMIT YOUR WAIVER OF SUCH CLAIMS.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF DAMAGES. IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY, AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER SUCH STATE LAW.

*Unsolicited Submissions*
WRGG does not knowingly accept unsolicited submissions including, without limitation, submissions of blog ideas, articles, scripts, story lines, fan fiction, characters, drawings, information, suggestions, proposals, ideas or concepts. WRGG’s policy is to simply delete any such submission without reading it or forwarding it to other WRGG staff. Therefore, any similarity between an unsolicited submission and any elements in any WRGG creative work including, without limitation, a story, title or concept would be purely coincidental. If unsolicited submissions are sent to WRGG via the WRGG Sites (including, but not limited to, any public forum), such submissions and copyright become the property of WRGG and may be used, copied, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, publicly performed, published, displayed or deleted as WRGG sees fit. You agree that you are not entitled to any compensation, credit or notice whatsoever and that by sending an unsolicited submission you waive the right to make any claim against WRGG relating to unsolicited submissions, including, without limitation, unfair competition, breach of implied contract or breach of confidentiality.
*Employment Opportunities*
WRGG may, from time to time, post WRGG employment opportunities on the WRGG Sites and/or invite users to submit resumes to it. If you choose to submit your name, contact information, resume and/or other personal information to WRGG in response to employment listings, you are authorizing WRGG to utilize this information for all lawful and legitimate hiring and employment purposes. Nothing in this Agreement or contained in the WRGG Sites will constitute a promise by WRGG to contact, interview, hire or employ any individual who submits information to it, nor will anything in this Agreement or contained in the WRGG Sites constitute a promise that WRGG will review any or all of the information submitted to it.
*Termination*
This Agreement remains in full force and effect while you use any WRGG Sites or Services. You may terminate one or more of your accounts on any of the WRGG Sites at any time, for any reason, by contacting the Site Administrator listed in the “Contacts” link on the applicable WRGG Site.

Furthermore, even after your user account or access to the WRGG Services is terminated, this Agreement will remain in effect. You agree that your account is non-transferable and any rights to your account terminate upon your death.
