A "User" may choose to register a Global or Local Account.  DATAHIT stresses the importance of reading any materials referred to in the process of registration which could explain limitations, restrictions and overall capabilities of the Services as there is no way to change the account type at a later time.

Upon registration the Individual "User" will be asked for personal information, all of which is governed by DATAHIT's Private Policy which is viewable at http://www.runboard.com/legal/privacy_policy.  If you choose to register, you agree that you will supply DATAHIT with the information as directed, ensuring that it is accurate and furthermore update as necessary via the "Users" control panel.

Under no circumstances will DATAHIT be liable in any way to you for 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 Content posted or otherwise transmitted via the Service.

DATAHIT does not Preview Content before it is posted and therefore has no control over it.  You also agree that DATAHIT has the right (but not an obligation) to access any board and remove or restrict access to any Content on the Service, at its sole discretion and without notice or compensation.  Any Content that violates this Terms Of Service Agreement shall give DATAHIT the right (but not an obligation) to remove or restrict access to content and also at its sole discretion, even the removal of a board completely (along with the board's local users, as local users are technically dependent on the board).

Board owners are able to permit to access or post on their boards whom ever they so wish (where done so without overrule of DATAHIT).  The board owners are also afforded the capability to block access to Users access/posting privileges on their boards and can be done so on usernames and I.P addresses something which DATAHIT has the right, but no obligation to remove a ban or force board accept membership for Users

==========

Basic Accounts
--------------
Basic account types are completely free with the option of payment to upgrade.

Upgraded "Purchased" Accounts
-----------------------------
"Users" may choose to purchase accounts.  This fee helps to cover the administrative, maintainance, development and  all other costs associated for the hosting and running of the boards and their Content on DATAHIT.
Although optional, in future it may give extra capabilities for the "User" including giving the "User" immunity from advertising should DATAHIT ever implement it.  Advertisement-free viewing is not a right, but a benefit and thus any benefits conferred on those purchasing upgraded accounts may be at any time withdrawn or restricted.

Current upgrade prices are shown on the websites of DATAHIT.

Removal of advertising is limited to that which DATAHIT places on its Services.  DATAHIT has no control over any further advertising placed on board by board owners by any method or in any form.

You understand and acknowledge that any fees due or paid by you to DATAHIT in upgrading your "User" account are NON-refundable in part or whole.

In the event you register a LOCAL account you must be aware that should the board, to which your account is tied to, is deleted by its board owner, the DATAHIT staff, or other means, you would lose your local account with no way of restoral for both basic and upgraded account types.
