Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using Samurai. By accessing or using any part of this system, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access Samurai or use any services. If these terms and conditions are considered an offer by NMR, acceptance is expressly limited to these terms. Samurai is available only to individuals who are at least 13 years old.

1. Your Samurai account.
If you provide content via Samurai that is disseminated as a part of NMR’s service to you, you are entirely responsible for all activities you engage during your time in the system. You must not describe or assign content in Samurai in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and NMR may change or remove any content that it considers inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause NMR liability. You must immediately notify NMR of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. NMR will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

2. Responsibility of Contributors.
If you post material to Samurai, post links on Samurai, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of your NMR provided website, email content or social media account via Samurai (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:

  • the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party;
  • if your employer has rights to intellectual property you create, you have either (i) received permission from your employer to post or make available the Content, including but not limited to any software, or (ii) secured from your employer a waiver to all rights in or to the Content;
  • you have fully complied with any third-party licenses relating to the Content, and have done all things necessary to successfully pass through to end users any required terms;
  • the Content does not contain or install any viruses, worms, malware, Trojan horses or other harmful or destructive content;
  • the Content is not spam, is not machine- or randomly-generated, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to the source of the material (such as spoofing);
  • the Content is not pornographic, does not contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party;
  • Samurai is not getting used to push unsolicited Content via unwanted electronic messages such as spam links on newsgroups, email lists, other blogs and web sites, and similar unsolicited promotional methods;
  • the Content is not named in a manner that misleads your visitors into thinking that you are another person or company; and
  • you have, in the case of Content that includes computer code, accurately categorized and/or described the type, nature, uses and effects of the materials, whether requested to do so by NMR or otherwise.

By submitting Content to NMR for inclusion on your NMR provided website, email marketing or social media accounts, you grant NMR a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your established media resources. If you delete Content, NMR will use reasonable efforts to remove it from Samurai and associated media resources, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be rendered immediately unavailable.

Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, NMR has the right (though not the obligation) to, in NMR’s sole discretion (i) refuse or remove any content that, in NMR’s reasonable opinion, violates any NMR policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use of Samurai to any individual or entity for any reason, in NMR’s sole discretion. NMR will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.

3. Payment Terms and Renewal.
The use of Samurai and the ability to update or manage Content in the system is, at this time, free to current NMR customers. Non-NMR customers do not have the right or ability to use Samurai for any purpose. Payments for services rendered by NMR are subject to agreements established in the Sign Up Today form, Program Prospectus and NMR Standard Service Agreement. Use of Samurai is a value-added service that is currently free for NMR customers, but NMR reserves the right to review and alter pricing for products and services, including the use of Samurai, as NMR see fit.

4. Responsibility of Website Visitors.
By posting Content to your media services via Samurai, you take full responsibility for that Content. By operating Samurai, NMR does not represent or imply that it endorses the material there posted, or that it believes such material to be accurate, useful or non-harmful. In addition, NMR disclaims responsibility for:

  • content that bares technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors
  • content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable
  • content that violates the privacy or publicity rights, or infringes the intellectual property and other proprietary rights, of third parties, or the downloading, copying or use of which is subject to additional terms and conditions, stated or unstated
  • harm resulting in the use of content posted via Samurai

Further, outside end users, your customers or general Internet users will review content posted via Samurai. NMR has not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material posted in response to Samurai posted content. NMR disclaims responsibility for the content posted by these end user groups.

5. Copyright Infringement.
