Terms of Service

About

The Dose of Funny Terms of Service (TOS) consists of these terms, the Dose of Funny Privacy Policy, and any supplemental terms provided to you for any of the products, websites, and other goods and services offered, owned, or operated by Dose of Funny, LLC (collectively “Services”). It is a contract in electronic form between you (“you,” “your,” and “yourself”) and Dose of Funny, LLC and its parents, successors, subsidiaries, affiliates, and family of brands (“Dose of Funny,” “we,” “us,” and “our”).

By using the Services or registering with us, you are agreeing to the TOS and may use our Services as long as you comply with the TOS.

Registering an Account Name and Keeping Your Account Active

You may need an account name to use some Services. An account name is a unique identifier used to identify you on our Services.

To register an account name and create an account, you must be a United States resident and at least 13 years of age. You must provide true and accurate information about yourself and keep that information up to date.

You may be able to use an e-mail address or other online identifier provided to you by someone other than us as an account name. You are responsible for maintaining security and control over any address or online identifier provided to us as an account name. If you fail to maintain security or control over such an address or other online identifier, you are responsible for any consequences and may lose access to your personal information and any data stored on our Services. Also, we are not responsible for the release or loss of any information that is identified with that address or identifier.

Your account name and account may be terminated if you do not sign on a Service with your account name at least once every 90 days.  After we terminate or deactivate your account for inactivity, we have no obligation to retain, store, or provide you with any data, information, e-mail, or other content that you uploaded, stored, transferred, sent, mailed, received, forwarded, posted or otherwise provide to us (collectively “posted” or “post”) on the Services and may allow another user to register and use the account name. We also have no obligation to remove any public data, content, or other information that you posted on a Service or reactivate your account.
