FargoRate uses commercially reasonable efforts to assure the accuracy of the information on the Service. All information contained on the Service, however, may be changed and updated at any time without notice, and may contain errors or inaccuracies. This Service also contains information provided by third parties. FargoRate makes no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, truth, quality, suitability, or reliability of such information; and FargoRate is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in any information provided by such third parties.

Occasionally, FargoRate may make available a link to a third party’s web site. These links will let You leave the Service. The linked sites are not under FargoRate’s control and FargoRate is not responsible for the contents of any linked site or any link contained in a linked site, or any changes or updates to such sites. FargoRate is not responsible for webcasting or any other form of transmission received from any linked site. FargoRate provides the links to You only as a convenience. FargoRate does not endorse any third party site or its use or contents. Further, FargoRate explicitly disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy, content, reliability, currency or availability of information found on those sites. FargoRate recommends using discretion when browsing the Internet using FargoRate’s or anyone else’s service. Because some sites employ automated search results or otherwise link You to sites containing information that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, FargoRate cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in third party sites. YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CLAIM AGAINST US WITH RESPECT TO SUCH THIRD PARTY SITES.

In consideration of Your use of the Service, You agree that all information supplied by You in establishing Your account is true, accurate, current and complete and that You will maintain and promptly update the information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

During the set-up of Your account, You will either receive (i) a user name and password; or (ii) a user name and a prompt to create Your own password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the user name and password.

After receiving an Opt-Out request, FargoRate will suppress Your information from the Services within approximately 7-14 days from such request. However, please note that because FargoRate uses publicly available tournament data, any time Your identifying information appears in a public event record after the date You requested to Opt-Out of the Service, Your information may reappear in FargoRate’s databases and be used by the Service.

Opt-Out requests must be submitted to FargoRate individually by the actual owner of the particular record. Bulk Opt-Out requests will not be fulfilled. FargoRate reserves the right to request additional information from You to verify Your identity before fulfilling an Opt-Out request.

In the event You chose to Opt-Out of the Service and then later utilize a FargoRate rating by, including, but not limited to playing in an event that reports results to FargoRate, Your use of such FargoRate rating shall be interpreted as a desire to terminate your Opt-Out request and use the Services. Any use of Your information after such date by FargoRate shall require additional Opt-Out requests by You if You desire to stop participating in the Services.
