Terms of Use

Last Updated: April 18th, 2019

The Off Campus Partners Online Community (the “Community”) is made available by Off Campus Partners, LLC (“OCP”, “we”, “us” or “our”) in order to allow our partners and registered users to share information, materials, documents, opinions, content and other resources (collectively, the “Content”) related to off-campus campus living and the use of OCP’s other products and services.

Your experience within the Community is very important to us. We intend for the Community to be a civil place where everyone feels welcome and heard.  If you wish to participate in the Community, you must abide by these OCP User Community Terms of Use (the “Terms of Use”). We reserve the right to suspend or terminate membership in this Community for anyone who violates these Terms of Use, or for any other reason in OCP’s discretion.

OCP may change these Terms of Use at any time, and you are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms of Use to determine whether any changes have been made since your last visit. Your continued use or access of the Community after OCP has changed these Terms of Use constitutes your agreement to these Terms of Use as amended.

By accessing or using this Community, and in consideration of your access to and use of the Community, you agree to comply with the following terms and conditions:

HAVE FUN!

We want you to have a great time participating in our Community!  We’ve built it with you in mind, so please enjoy it!  If you ever have any suggestion on how to make it better, please feel free to let us know by sending us a message at community@offcampuspartners.com.

TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT

Be open and willing to engage in Community discussions. Ask questions and also be generous in answering the questions of others.  The Community is not a space to treat others rudely, and any such behavior will not be permitted. Everyone should feel welcome to share their feedback, ideas, and thoughts related to the Community or off-campus life in general.  You are strictly prohibited from posting to the Community any Content that is defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, obscene, harassing, offensive, illegal or otherwise objectionable. 

CONSIDER THE CONTENT YOU POST

Content posted on the Community is available for others to see and use.  Do not post anything to the Community that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you.  You alone are responsible for the Content you submit to the Community, and you assume all risks associated with the Content you submit, including anyone’s reliance on its quality, accuracy, or reliability, or any disclosure by you of information that makes you personally identifiable.

OCP is not responsible for, and expressly disclaims all liability for, the Content posted or made available on the Community by others.  OCP does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, quality or appropriateness of any Content. You understand that all Content posted on, transmitted through or linked through the Community is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated. You understand that by using the Community you may be exposed to Content that is inaccurate, misleading or offensive. You agree that you will evaluate and make your own judgment, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content.  

OCP does not actively monitor the Content or the Community for inappropriate Content and does not, on its own, undertake editorial control of Content. However, in the event that any inappropriate Content is brought to the attention of OCP, appropriate action may be taken, including the removal of such Content.  Content made available on the Community may be changed without notice.

By submitting Content to the Community, you automatically grant OCP an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, worldwide, assignable license to use, copy, perform, display, reproduce, adapt, modify and distribute such Content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Content and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the Content.

RESPECT OTHERS’ INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The Community is a place to share Content and get inspired. With that being said, do not upload Content you do not own or have permission to post. Unless you specify otherwise, other participants in the Community have the right to reproduce Content provided via the Community.  To reuse any Content, you must first ask for permission from the user that made such Content available and give proper attribution to such user.  You represent and warrant that (a) you own, or have the necessary permissions to use and authorize the use of the Content that you submit, and (b) you will not violate any third party’s rights, including any breach of confidence, copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right in connection with your use of the Community.

All content and information on the Community, including, but not limited to, all text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, downloads, and software (except for the Content submitted by users) is the exclusive property of OCP or its licensors and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws.
