1. Your Acceptance
BY USING AND/OR VISITING THIS WEBSITE (collectively, including all Content available
through the Worst3.com domain name, the "Worst3 Website", or "Website"), YOU SIGNIFY
YOUR ASSENT TO BOTH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the "Terms of Service") AND THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF WORST3'S PRIVACY NOTICE, WHICH ARE PUBLISHED AT http://www.Worst3.com/privacy,
AND WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. If you do not agree to any of these
terms, then please do not use the Worst3 Website.
2. Worst3 Website
These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Worst3 Website, including users
who are also contributors of any content, information, and other materials or services
on the Website. The Worst3 Website may contain links to third party websites that
are not owned or controlled by Worst3. Worst3 has no control over, and assumes no
responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party
websites. In addition, Worst3 will not and cannot censor or edit the content of
any third-party site. By using the Website, you expressly relieve Worst3 from any
and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website. Accordingly,
we encourage you to be aware when you leave the Worst3 Website and to read the terms
and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit.
3. Website Access
A. Worst3 hereby grants you permission to use the Website as set forth in this Terms
of Service, provided that: (i) your use of the Website as permitted is solely for
your personal, noncommercial use; (ii) you will not copy or distribute any part
of the Website in any medium without Worst3's prior written authorization; (iii)
you will not alter or modify any part of the Website other than as may be reasonably
necessary to use the Website for its intended purpose; and (iv) you will otherwise

B. In order to access some features of the Website, you will have to create an account.
You may never use another's account without permission. When creating your account,

the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password
secure. You must notify Worst3 immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized
use of your account. Although Worst3 will not be liable for your losses caused by
any unauthorized use of your account, you may be liable for the losses of Worst3
or others due to such unauthorized use.
C. You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation,
"robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc., that accesses the Website in a manner
that sends more request messages to the Worst3 servers in a given period of time
than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a convention on-line
web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Worst3 grants the operators of public
search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the
sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials,
but not caches or archives of such materials. Worst3 reserves the right to revoke
these exceptions either generally or in specific cases. You agree not to collect

that whether or not such User Submissions are published, Worst3 does not guarantee
any confidentiality with respect to any submissions.
B. You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences
of posting or publishing them. In connection with User Submissions, you affirm,
represent, and/or warrant that: (i) you own or have the necessary licenses, rights,

rights in your User Submissions. However, by submitting the User Submissions to
Worst3, you hereby grant Worst3 a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free,
sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative
works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the Worst3
Website and Worst3's (and its successor's) business, including without limitation
for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Worst3 Website (and derivative
works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. You also hereby
grant each user of the Worst3 Website a non-exclusive license to access your User
Submissions through the Website, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative
works of, display and perform such User Submissions as permitted through the functionality
of the Website and under these Terms of Service.
C. In connection with User Submissions, you further agree that you will not: (i)
submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject
to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless
you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to
post the material and to grant Worst3 all of the license rights granted herein;
(ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage Worst3 or any third
party; (iii) submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening,

of business; (v) impersonate another person; and (vi) submit material that includes
a your or any third party’s email address, telephone number, or address. Worst3

User Submissions. Worst3 does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement
of intellectual property rights on its Website, and Worst3 will remove all Content
and User Submissions if properly notified that such Content or User Submission infringes
on another's intellectual property rights. Worst3 reserves the right to remove Content
and User Submissions without prior notice, for any or no reason. Worst3 will also
terminate a User's access to its Website, if they are determined to be a repeat
infringer. A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified of infringing activity
more than twice and/or has had a User Submission removed from the Website more than
twice. Worst3 also reserves the right to decide whether Content or a User Submission
is appropriate and complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than
copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but
not limited to, pornography, obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length.
Worst3 may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a User's access for uploading
such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time, without prior
notice and at its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Worst3 assumes
no responsibility for monitoring the Website for inappropriate Content or conduct.
If at any time Worst3 chooses, in its sole discretion to monitor the Website, Worst3
nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the Content, no obligation to modify or
remove any inappropriate Content, and no responsibility for the conduct of the user
submitting any such Content.
D. In particular, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that
any User Submission or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit
a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing
our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3)
for further detail): (i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized
to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or,
if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification,
a representative list of such works at that site; (iii) Identification of the material
that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and
that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably
sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material; (iv) Information
reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an
address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail; (v) A statement
that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained
of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) A statement
that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury,
that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that
is allegedly infringed.
Worst3's designated copyright agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement
is: Copyright Agent, 4656 Airport Blvd., Suite 200, Mobile, AL 36608; email: info@Worst3.com.
For clarity, DMCA notices should go to the copyright agent. You acknowledge that
if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section 5(D), your DMCA
notice may not be valid.
