Welcome to this Charleston Newspapers Web site.
Charleston Newspapers provides Gazette-Mail Obituaries to you, subject to the following Terms of Service, which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. In addition, when using particular services, you shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services.
Charleston Newspapers provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including news content, advertising and online communication tools (the "Service"). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features shall be subject to the Terms of Service. You understand and agree the Service is provided "as is" and that Charleston Newspapers assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.
In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access Web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.
In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form and (b) maintain and promptly update the registration data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete or Charleston Newspapers has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Charleston Newspapers has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service.
We are concerned about the safety and privacy of all our web site visitors, particularly children. Please remember that the site is designed to appeal to a broad audience. Accordingly, as the legal guardian, it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the services and/or content are appropriate for your child.
You will designate your email account and a password during the registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Charleston Newspapers of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you logout from your account at the end of each session. Charleston Newspapers cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.
You understand that all information, data or other materials ("Content") publicly posted is the sole responsibility of the person from which the Content originated. This means that you, and not Charleston Newspapers, are entirely responsible for all Content that you email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service. Charleston Newspapers do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. Under no circumstances will Charleston Newspapers be liable in any way for any user-posted Content, including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any said Content.

You agree to indemnify and hold Charleston Newspapers and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or make available through the Service, your use of the Service, your connection to the service, your violation of the Terms of Service, or your violation of any rights of another.
