MyDistrict.Net and PaperRoute.Net Terms of Service
Welcome to the MyDistrict.Net and/or PaperRoute.Net Internet site (the "Site", "Service", "Website"). These Terms of Service together with MyDistrict.Net LLC.'s ("MDNet", "we") Privacy Statement (collectively the "Terms") govern your use of this Site. MyDistrict.Net may change the Terms of Service from time to time. Your access to the site in any way is evidence of your acceptance of the Terms and the enforcement of said Terms. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you may not use the Site. MyDistrict.Net reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, or otherwise alter these Terms at any time effective upon posting of the modified Terms on the Site. Please review the Terms periodically. Your continued use of the Site or any materials or services accessible through it, after such posting or notification means you accept the modifications. MyDistrict.Net reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Site (or any part thereof). MyDistrict.Net shall not be liable to any user or other third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance except as expressly provided herein.
Privacy and Security Information. MyDistrict.Net understands the sensitivity of contractor information and the need to guard your sensitive information from the newspaper publisher ("publisher"). We actively guard your information and will not release information to the publisher unless you specifically request us to.
We encourage all users to use "strong" passwords to guard their account. We suggest using a combination of capital and lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation, and that the password be at least 8 characters in length. We are not responsible for any information that is lost due to login credentials being compromised.
There are several pieces of information that we absolutely will not disclose to the publisher or anyone else, even at your request...
There are several functions of the website that are designed specifically to streamline communication with the publisher. By using these features, you are requesting that this information be communicated to the publisher. These functions are:
You may optionally choose to make route cards available to the publisher by selecting a checkbox on the district configuration page. If you do not specifically check this checkbox to release your route cards to the publisher, we will deny any requests for your route cards made by the publisher.
By using the system, you consent that the charges for using the MyDistrict.Net service be communicated to the publisher for collection purposes.
If a function of the website is not specifically mentioned above, we will deny all requests by the publisher for the information.
If you provide your carriers with access to the PaperRoute.Net carrier access site, you recognize that you are agreeing to give the carrier access to the information that you specify in the PaperRoute.Net Permissions page for that individual carrier.

Miscellaneous. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, these Terms of Service are a complete statement of the agreement between you and MyDistrict.Net, and set forth the entire liability of MyDistrict.Net and its Suppliers and your exclusive remedy with respect to your access and use of the Site. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, these Terms of Service shall prevail. The Suppliers, agents, distributors, dealers, and employees of MyDistrict.Net are not authorized to make modifications to the Terms, or to make any additional representations, commitments or warranties binding on MyDistrict.Net. Any waiver of the terms herein by MyDistrict.Net must be in a writing signed by an authorized officer of MyDistrict.Net and expressly referencing the applicable provisions of the Terms. If any provision of the Terms is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it shall be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The Terms will be governed by Texas law as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Texas, without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles that would require application of law of a different jurisdiction, and applicable federal law. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in Collin County, Texas or federal court for the Northern District of Texas. Headings are included for convenience only, and shall not be considered in interpreting these Terms. The Terms do not limit any rights that MyDistrict.Net may have under trade secret, copyright, patent or other laws.
