Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Untamed. Signed up for text alerts? Our SMS Terms for Untamed Text Alerts (short code 89517) are below, and our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your mobile number.

Your acceptance of these terms

These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) consist of this page, the Untamed Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms or legal notices provided to you. They govern your use of untamednation.com and every other website, live stream, newsletter, text-message program and service operated under the Untamed name now or in the future (together, the “Services”), and they are a binding legal agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and CD Solutions, Inc., the company that operates Untamed, together with its successors, subsidiaries, affiliates and partners (“Untamed”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”). By accessing or using the Services you agree to these Terms.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, IMMEDIATELY STOP ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES.

What Untamed is

Untamed is a news, video and live-broadcast service. We surface headlines, summaries, images and video from original publishers alongside shows, broadcasts and content produced by our own team. Aggregated stories remain the property of their original publishers, and each aggregated story credits and links to its original source. If you are a publisher and have a question about how your content appears on Untamed, please contact us.

Privacy, cookies and advertising

Please review our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. You can read Untamed without an account. We use cookies only to maintain your browsing session and basic preferences, and any usage statistics we analyze are anonymous and aggregated. The Services may display advertising provided by third-party networks, which operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

Electronic communication

The communications between you and Untamed are electronic. You consent to receive communications from Untamed in electronic form, including by email or through the Services. Where you separately agree to receive text messages, we may also communicate with you by SMS under the SMS Terms below. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, terms, conditions and other legal communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were in writing.

Eligibility and acceptable use

You may use the Services for personal, non-commercial reading, viewing and sharing. Your permission to use the Services is conditioned upon your agreement that you:

• are of legal age in your current location to form a binding contract with Untamed,
• will comply with these Terms while using the Services,
• are not prohibited, by law or prior notice from Untamed, from accessing the Services,
• are not acting on behalf of anyone prohibited in the prior clause,
• will only have, at most, one user account with Untamed,
• shall take reasonable measures to keep your user account safe, and
• agree to be responsible for your use of the Services.

In addition, the following are prohibited without express, prior and written permission from Untamed:

• submitting false or purposely inaccurate information,
• any commercial use of the Services, their content or any User Content,
• data mining, harvesting, screen scraping, and republishing or redistributing the Services’ content in bulk, excluding access by industry-standard-compliant search engines,
• deep linking, framing or redisplay of any content or offers, and
• interfering with the proper functioning and availability of the Services, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of them.

Any prohibited use immediately terminates your permission to access the Services, and in that event Untamed may block access to the Services from your internet address (“IP Address”) or network at its discretion.

Content and accuracy

News moves quickly and aggregated stories reflect their sources at the time of publication. Untamed does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of third-party content, and a story’s appearance on Untamed is not an endorsement of its source or its claims. For the authoritative version of any aggregated story, follow the link to the original publisher.

Comments, chat and other submissions

The Services let you post comments, live-chat messages and other user-generated content (“User Content”). You agree not to submit any User Content that is illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights or otherwise injurious to third parties. You further agree not to post any User Content that contains software viruses, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings or any form of “spam.” You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity or otherwise mislead as to the origin of User Content. Untamed reserves the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit User Content and to restrict the accounts that post it. Any opinions, advice, ratings, discussions, comments or other User Content made by you or any user of the Services are those of their author and not of Untamed.

If you post User Content, you grant Untamed a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute and display that User Content throughout the world in any media. You grant Untamed and our affiliates and partners the right to use the name you submit in connection with that User Content at our discretion. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the User Content you post, that it is accurate, that its use does not violate these Terms and will not cause injury to any person or entity, and that you will indemnify Untamed for any and all claims resulting from User Content you post. Untamed takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content posted by you or any third party.

Copyright and trademark

All contents of the Services are, unless otherwise stated, copyrighted under United States copyright laws and similar laws of other jurisdictions by Untamed or our affiliates or partners. You may not, without prior written permission, copy, modify, reproduce, download or distribute any copyrighted content from the Services except as these Terms expressly provide.

The Untamed name and logo, show names and logos, site design and other Untamed graphics, page headers, buttons and styles are trademarks or trade dress of Untamed. Third-party trademarks, articles, photographs and video remain the property of their respective owners and are presented under principles of fair attribution, with credit and a link to the source.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Services and with the publishers and sellers the Services link to. To the extent permitted under applicable law, you release Untamed and its successors, subsidiaries, affiliates and partners from any and all claims or liability related to any product or service of a third party, any action or inaction of a third party, and any conduct or speech, whether online or offline, of any other user.

By Untamed: we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including (without limitation) if we believe, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms, engaged in conduct prohibited under Eligibility and acceptable use, or exposed Untamed or others to risk or liability.

Untamed will not be liable to you or any third party for any suspension or termination of your access to the Services.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated Terms here and revise the effective date above. If required by law, we will provide additional notice before a material change takes effect. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of those updated Terms.

Applicable law

By using, accessing or visiting the Services, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Untamed and its subsidiaries and successors.

Agreement to arbitrate

You and Untamed agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of intellectual property or confidentiality obligations.

Informal resolution first

Before filing an arbitration, you agree to first contact Untamed through our contact page and attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Arbitration forum and rules

Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator and may be conducted remotely by video or telephone unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing is necessary.

Class action waiver

You and Untamed agree that any Dispute will be brought on an individual basis only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding.

Batch arbitration

If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against Untamed by the same or coordinated counsel within a 60-day period, the parties agree such demands will be resolved in batches of no more than 25 claims, with fees and hearings phased accordingly, as coordinated by the arbitration provider or an appointed process arbitrator.

Opt-out right

You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice through our contact page within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and your intent to opt out. If you opt out, this arbitration provision will not apply to you, but all other provisions of these Terms will continue to apply.

Copyright complaints (DMCA)

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible through the Services, please notify Untamed as set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”). For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide the following information in writing:

• an electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
• identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
• identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and where it is located on the Services;
• information reasonably sufficient to permit Untamed to contact you, such as your address, telephone number and email address;
• a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
• a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Send it through our contact page with a message beginning “DMCA”. Under federal law, a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

General

Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Untamed regarding your use of the Services, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals and agreements, whether oral or written, between you and Untamed.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Untamed’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms without such consent will be null and void. Untamed may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.

Force majeure. Untamed shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disaster, war, terrorism, riot, embargo, act of civil or military authority, fire, flood, accident, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials, or failures or disruptions of the internet, telecommunications, or third-party hosting or infrastructure providers.
