This document constitutes a legally-binding agreement ("Agreement") governing the terms of providing you with our service. We reserve the right to provide you with operating rules or additional terms that may govern your use of the Site generally, unique parts of the Site, or both ("Additional Terms"). Any Additional Terms that we publish or otherwise provide to you are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms. To the extent any Additional Terms conflict with these Terms, the Additional Terms will control.

BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE SITE, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS. BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE SITE, REGISTERING AS A USER, DOWNLOADING OUR MOBILE APPLICATION, OR CLICKING THE "I AGREE" BUTTON, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY, THE TERMS OF WHICH ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.

The material provided on the Site is protected by law, including but not limited to United States copyright law and international treaties. We make no representation that the Site or its content is appropriate or available for use in locations other than the United States, and access to it from territories where its contents are illegal or otherwise regulated is prohibited. If you choose to access the Site from locations other than in the United States, you do so at your own initiative, at your own risk, and are responsible for complying with all applicable local laws. We reserve the right to limit, in our sole discretion, the provision and quantity of any feature, product or service to any person or geographic area. Any offer for any feature, product or service made on the Websites is void where prohibited.

Throughout this document, the words  "AZProverbs.com," "AZProverbs" "us," "we," and "our," refer to us, AZProverbs.com, as is appropriate in the context of the use of the words. Likewise, the words "you" and "your" refer to you, the person who is being presented with this document for your agreement. 

We may update these Terms from time to time, and we may amend them at any time to incorporate additional terms specific to additional features, materials, products, opportunities, or services that we may make available on or through our Site. All such updates and amendments are effective immediately upon notice thereof, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of these Terms or other notice on the Site. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REGULARLY REVIEWING THE SITE TO OBTAIN TIMELY NOTICE OF ANY SUCH UPDATES AND AMENDMENTS, AS YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR CONTINUING CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. Such changes, updates, or amendments shall not serve to constitute a default or termination by AZProverbs.com of these Terms.

We also expressly reserve the right to make any changes that we deem appropriate from time to time to the Site or to any information, text, data, databases, graphics, images, logos, software, features, services, URLs, technology, documentation, or interactive features and other materials within the Site (all such materials, and any compilation, collection, or arrangement thereof, the "Content").

The Site provides a database of quotations and proverbs from around the world. We educate and entertain audiences with family-friendly quotations from history's most prominent figures through to today's newsmakers - famous celebrities, athletes, politicians, authors, and everything in between. AZProverbs.com is supported by ad revenue generated from ads that appear on our Site.

Unlike certain websites, we strive to source our quotes and review them to ensure their accuracy. However, we can't provide any 100% assurances about the quotes we post. That said, most people find our site enormously satisfying, and they love and adore our wonderful site.

Since fans share our unbridled enthusiasm for quotations, our AZProverbs.com submission form allows users to upload and submit quotes by famous people, provided that the user provides a reference URL as an accompanying source that verifies when, where and by whom the quote was spoken or written. While we appreciate submissions, we cannot and do not guarantee that we will publish them. Visitors can also email suggestions to us; we appreciate these, but there's no guarantee we will follow them. The Site does not enable users to upload or post quotes directly to our Site for public view. A human being reviews each and every submission and suggestion submitted. While we actively respond to submissions and suggestions by making appropriate additions, changes or enhancements to our site, we do not reply to individual submissions or suggestions.

The Site may enable access to third-party services and websites. Use of the Site or our services requires Internet access, which may require that you accept additional terms of service. We are not responsible for any such terms of service. You are solely responsible for complying with the terms of service and use of any third-party website.
