1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to TennesseeFeeds.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”), your unfiltered hub for Tennessee news. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, services, and features, including news aggregation, anonymous engagement, and our points-based authentication system (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

To use the Service, you must be at least 13 years old and have the legal capacity to enter these Terms. By accessing TennesseeFeeds.com, you represent that you meet these requirements. If you’re using the Service for an organization, you confirm you’re authorized to bind that entity. Users under 18 should review these Terms with a parent or guardian.

3. User Accounts

You may engage with the Service anonymously or create an account to authenticate with a custom username and earn points. If you create an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials (e.g., username, password) and promptly notifying us at info@tennesseefeeds.com of any unauthorized access or suspicious activity. We are not liable for losses due to compromised credentials.

3.3 Points System

Authenticated users earn points for actions like liking, disliking, commenting, sharing, or voting on content. Points may unlock rewards (e.g., badges, visibility). We reserve the right to adjust or suspend points for abuse, such as spamming or manipulation.

3.4 Account Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, provide false information, or engage in conduct harmful to the Service or its users.

We may remove content or restrict access if we determine, in our sole discretion, it violates these Terms or harms the Service’s community.

5. Content Ownership and License

5.1 Our Content

All text, graphics, logos, designs, and other materials provided by TennesseeFeeds.com (excluding user-submitted content) are owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without prior written permission.

5.2 User-Submitted Content

By submitting content (e.g., comments, likes, upvotes) to the Service, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify, publish, distribute, and display that content in any medium, including for promoting the Service. You represent that you have the rights to submit such content and that it complies with these Terms.

5.3 News Aggregation

The Service aggregates news from third-party sources. We do not claim ownership of such content but may display excerpts, headlines, or links under fair use or with permission. You acknowledge that aggregated content is subject to the original publishers’ rights.

6. Intellectual Property and DMCA Policy

We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on TennesseeFeeds.com infringes your copyright, submit a notice to info@tennesseefeeds.com including:

We will investigate and, if appropriate, remove the content. Repeated infringers may have their accounts terminated.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

The Service may include links to third-party websites (e.g., news sources) or integrate external tools. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.

8. Transparency and Platform Integrity

TennesseeFeeds.com is designed to be free from shadow bans and manipulative algorithms. Content visibility is driven by user engagement (e.g., upvotes, downvotes), not automated curation. We reserve the right to moderate content to ensure compliance with these Terms, but we aim to maintain a transparent, community-led platform.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, nor do we endorse the accuracy of aggregated news content.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TennesseeFeeds.com, its affiliates, officers, employees, or agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including disputes over user content or aggregated news. Our total liability, if any, shall not exceed $100 USD.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TennesseeFeeds.com, its affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights, including disputes over comments or votes.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for reasons including violation of these Terms or conduct harmful to the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends, but sections on content ownership, liability, indemnification, and governing law will survive.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our practices, features, or legal requirements. Revised Terms will be posted here with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in state or federal courts in Tennessee. You agree to waive any objections to jurisdiction or venue in these courts.
