Certain services such as the receipt of a “Vermont Dance Alliance email newsletter” are optional.
The Company reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, Vermont Dance Alliance (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

Much of the Content in Vermont Dance Alliance is provided by and is the responsibility of the users who submitted such Content.

All information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, images, graphics, videos, messages, tags, or other materials ("Content"), submitted by users are the sole responsibility of the person submitting the Content for use in Vermont Dance Alliance. This means that you, and not Vermont Dance Alliance, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Vermont Dance Alliance Services.
Content is provided “AS IS.” We do not control the Content posted via Vermont Dance Alliance and, as such, do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. Under no circumstances will the Company be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any offense, errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of, or reliance on, any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via Vermont Dance Alliance. We may or may not pre-screen Content, but the Company and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or remove any Content that is available via Vermont Dance Alliance for any reason, or for no reason. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates these Terms.
