1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to IndustrialPCWorld (“the Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our website located at industrialpcworld.com, you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you are not authorized to use the Site and must exit immediately.

2. Description of Service

IndustrialPCWorld operates as a news aggregation service. We collect, curate, and display headlines, summaries, excerpts, and links to news articles and other content (“Third-Party Content”) originating from external sources and publishers. We are not the creator, author, or publisher of the original Third-Party Content. Our service is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

3.1. Site Content

All content created by IndustrialPCWorld, including but not limited to the Site’s layout, design, graphics, logos, compilation of aggregated links, and any original commentary or analysis (“Our Content”), is the property of IndustrialPCWorld or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use Our Content for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

3.2. Third-Party Content & Fair Use Doctrine

The Third-Party Content displayed on this Site is the exclusive property of the respective copyright holders. IndustrialPCWorld does not claim any ownership over the original Third-Party Content. We utilize such content under the legal doctrine of “fair use” as defined by U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 107) and similar provisions in other jurisdictions. Our use is transformative, as we provide a centralized aggregation service for news discovery. We act in good faith to provide proper attribution to the original source and publisher for all aggregated content. This attribution includes clear identification of the source and, where applicable, direct hyperlinks to the original content on the source’s website. Such use is for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, and research, and we believe it constitutes a fair use of the copyrighted material.

4. User-Submitted Content

Certain areas of the Site may allow you to post, submit, or transmit content, such as comments, reviews, or other materials (“User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant IndustrialPCWorld a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, and sub-licensable license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such User Content in any media, in connection with the operation and promotion of the Site.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to the User Content you submit and that such content does not infringe upon the intellectual property, privacy, or any other rights of any third party. You are solely responsible for the User Content you post and the consequences of its publication.

Disclaimer Regarding User Content: IndustrialPCWorld does not endorse and is not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any User Content. We do not routinely pre-screen User Content, but we reserve the right, but not the obligation, to monitor, edit, or remove any User Content at our sole discretion for any reason, including if such content violates these Terms. All User Content expresses the views of the author and not of IndustrialPCWorld.

5. Third-Party Links and Content

You acknowledge and agree that IndustrialPCWorld shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such third-party websites or services.
