6. Community Watch — Important Disclaimer

Community Watch Disclaimer: Community Watch reports are submitted by users and reviewed by moderators before publication. Simply Put Ohio does not independently verify the accuracy of Community Watch submissions.

Weather and Road Disclaimer: Weather forecasts, alerts, and road condition information displayed on Simply Put Ohio are sourced from third-party providers (National Weather Service, Open-Meteo, ODOT, and others) and collected automatically. This information may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Simply Put Ohio makes no warranties regarding the accuracy or timeliness of weather or road information. Always consult official sources (weather.gov, OHGO.com, local emergency management) for critical decisions. Simply Put Ohio is not liable for any harm arising from reliance on weather or road information displayed on the platform.

8. Job Listings — Disclaimer

Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including content ownership provisions, disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Simply Put Ohio and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the platform, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the platform shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $10 (whichever is greater).

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

Simply Put Ohio is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Informal Resolution First: Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Binding Arbitration: If informal resolution fails, you and Simply Put Ohio agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the platform through binding arbitration administered by a mutually agreed neutral arbitrator in Ohio, rather than in court, except as set forth below.

Exceptions: Either party may seek emergency injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm. Claims arising under intellectual property rights and small claims court matters (under $10,000) are excluded from this arbitration agreement.

Class Action Waiver: You agree that any arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis only, and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For matters excluded from arbitration, disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Stark County, Ohio.

16. Anti-Fraud and Anti-Spam Policy

Fraudulent activity, including fake job listings, scam marketplace listings, phishing attempts, and identity theft, is strictly prohibited and may be reported to law enforcement. Spam — including bulk posting, automated posting, and coordinated inauthentic behavior — is prohibited and may result in immediate account termination.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
