Tier 11's Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions are an agreement (“Agreement”) between Antares Enterprises, Inc., doing business as Tier 11 (hereafter “Tier 11” “we”, “us”  or “our”) and each user (“User” “you” or “your”) of www.tiereleven.com (the “Site”) or products or services made available by Tier 11, including advertising services and any software related to the same (collectively, “Services”).

1. Acceptance

Your use of Tier 11’s Services is at all times subject to this Agreement and, if applicable, the Tier 11 Services Agreement entered into between you and Tier 11 (the “Services Agreement”).  You should read this Agreement and any applicable Services Agreement carefully and be sure you understand each agreement prior to using the Services.  Any use of Tier 11’s Services is deemed to be irrevocable acceptance of this Agreement.  If you do not agree to this Agreement, you should not use the Services, including the Site which you should immediately exit.  For purposes of this Agreement, accessing the Services only to review this Agreement or Tier 11’s privacy policy, a copy of which is available at www.tiereleven.com, (the “Privacy Policy”), is not deemed to be use of the Services.

While performing its Services, Tier 11 may collect personal information from individuals.  All such personal information obtained by Tier 11 will be held, disclosed, and used by Tier 11 as set forth in the Privacy Policy and in accordance with all applicable law.

3. Changes to the Terms of Service

Tier 11 reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to revise or replace this Agreement at any time.  For instance, we may need to change this Agreement if a new feature is launched or a service is upgraded.  It is User’s responsibility to check for changes to this Agreement.  If you do not agree to the new terms, you must discontinue use of the Services.  If you continue to use the Services after the revised terms go into effect, then you have accepted the changes to this Agreement.
