Welcome to BlogHarbor Blogware service (the "Service") provided by Rackshare LLC. As a Blogware account holder ("Publisher"), your use of the Service is subject to these Terms of Service ("TOS"). Rackshare LLC reserves the right to update and change the TOS from time to time without notice or acceptance by you. You will also be subject to any posted guidelines or policies which may be posted from time to time and are hereby incorporated by reference.

Rackshare LLC provides each Publisher with a web site Internet ("Blogware"). Each Blog Site has a limited disk space based on the type of account purchased. The Service also includes tools that enable Publishers to make up a weblog and/or photo album (posts, comments, favorites, etc). The type and number of tools you may use depend on the type of account you have as a Publisher. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the TOS. In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device. You understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from Rackshare LLC, such as service announcements and administrative messages and that these communications are considered part of Rackshare LLC's membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interfaces that are provided for use in accessing the Service. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "as-is" and that Rackshare LLC assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications.

Please be aware that certain areas on the Service may contain adult or mature content. You must be of legal majority to access and view such areas.

In order to use the Service, you must have a valid account ID. To be a Publisher with your own Blogware account, you must provide Rackshare LLC with a credit card and other any other information it considers pertinent to establish an account ("Registration Data"). Publishers will choose a password and account designation for their Blogware during the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to

1. immediately notify Rackshare LLC of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and
2. ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session.

1. provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form, and

If you cancel the Service before the end of the term, your cancellation will take effect immediately. After cancellation, you will no longer have access to your account and all information or content associated with your account may be deleted. Rackshare LLC accepts no liability for such deleted information or content.

If your credit card is invalid for any reason, the Service may be cancelled and all the information contained within deleted permanently. Rackshare LLC accepts no liability for information that is deleted due to an invalid credit card.

In addition, Rackshare LLC may immediately terminate the Service for your failure to follow the Agreement. Such termination of the Service may result in the deactivation or deletion of your Blogware, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content on your Blogware.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of both your password and your account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password and your account. You agree to immediately notify Rackshare LLC of any unauthorized uses of the account or any other breaches of security.

    3. Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank.
    4. Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc.

    Google's principles and specific recommendations are located here. Publishers who do not adhere to the spirit of these principles jeopardize search engine rankings for all members of our Service, and risk immediate account revocation without prior notice.
