Terms of Service

Introduction

As used in this Terms of Service, “MyPressPortal,” “us” and “we” refers to MyPressPortal and its affiliates. The “Websites” means MyPressPortal’s websites (including without limitation pressportal.co.za and any successor URLS, mobile or localized versions and related domains and subdomains), and the “Services” means MyPressPortal’s communications and messaging products, applications and services, in each case in whatever format they may be offered now or in the future. The Websites and Services are collectively referred to herein as the “Offerings.”

This MyPressPortal Terms of Service ("TOS") is entered into by and between MyPressPortal and the entity or person placing an order for or accessing any MyPressPortal Offerings ("Customer" or "you"). If you are accessing or using the Offerings on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on behalf of your company, and all references to "you" or "Customer" reference your company.

MyPressPortal may update the TOS at any time and without prior notice by posting a new version at https://www.pressportal.co.za/tos.html. The information on this site and your use of it is subject to the most recent version of the TOS posted.

Description of Service

MyPressPortal provides a PR & Communications platform through a Software as a Service (SaaS) model and a variety of other services ("Offerings"). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features or services that augment or enhance the current Offerings shall be subject to the TOS.

By indicating your acceptance of this agreement or accessing or using any Offerings, you are agreeing to be bound by all terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced in this agreement. If you do not agree to this agreement, please do not use any services. For clarity, each partly expressly agrees that this agreement is legally binding upon it.

Registration Obligations

In consideration of your use of the Offerings, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the Netherlands or other applicable jurisdictions. You also agree to:

Provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Offerings' registration form (the "Registration Data") and maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or MyPressPortal has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, MyPressPortal has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Offerings (or any portion thereof).

Conduct

You understand that all information, data, text, software, graphics or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not MyPressPortal, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Offerings. MyPressPortal does not control the Content posted via the Offerings and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. Under no circumstances will MyPressPortal be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Offerings.

You agree to not use the Offerings to:

  1. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable or harm minors;
  2. impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
  3. forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any Content transmitted through the Offerings;
  4. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or other relationships;
  5. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party;
  6. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," or any other form of solicitation;
  7. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;
  8. disrupt the normal flow of dialogue, or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to engage in discussions or exchanges;

  11. "stalk" or otherwise harass another; and/or collect or store personal data about other users in connection with the prohibited conduct and activities set forth in paragraphs above. You acknowledge that MyPressPortal may or may not pre-screen Content, but that MyPressPortal and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, move, or remove any Content that is available via the Offerings and which violates the TOS. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. You acknowledge, consent and agree that MyPressPortal may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:
    1. comply with legal process;
    2. enforce the TOS;
    3. respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties;
    4. protect the rights, property or personal safety of MyPressPortal its users and the public.
