Limitations of Liability #
We take great measures to make sure all offered Protoweb services are safe to use, but we are unable to completely ensure that all content will be harmless in your particular use case(s). Early websites and downloads frequently contained software that was not fully tested, may not work, or may outright break or cause other damages to the software or hardware environment of any user using the Protoweb services. In addition, using outdated web browsers may come with additional security risks that are beyond our control. Due to these reasons, Protoweb services come with no warranty and/or guarantee of operation whatsoever. The Protoweb Team, Protoweb’s partners and affiliates shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, special or consequential damages resulting from using our service, except to the extent that such liability directly arises out of the negligence, willful misconduct or lack of good faith, or failure to comply with its standard of care herein. We expect users of the Protoweb services to make sure they are using a proper Antivirus software and have other adequate protections in place.

Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring minors comply with this User Agreement.
Please be aware that certain content may be unsuitable for minors, or contain other material that may be upsetting to some people. Even though we make efforts to maintain a safe environment, we cannot guarantee that all material on Protoweb will be suitable for everyone. This is especially true for “pass-through” websites, which are external websites accessed through Protoweb, since Protoweb administrators do not exercise control over these sites. Protoweb may also contain elements of social media activity which are not moderated and as such, may contain material that may be unsuitable for some people.
By using Protoweb, you acknowledge and agree that Protoweb, it’s partners and affiliates shall not be held liable for any access to unsuitable content and that it is your responsibility to ensure that minors under your care use the platform with appropriate supervision.
