Terms and conditions governing your use of EuropaWire.EU and its EU press release distribution and related service(s) (collectively, the “Service”):
1. Use
A. You are responsible for the content, accuracy and legality of all press releases and other PR information submitted by you to EuropaWire, Ltd. dba EuropaWire.EU (“EuropaWire.EU”) or entered into the Service (the “submitted PR materials”). Because of the volume of information and and the number of EU press releases submitted over to EuropaWire.EU, EuropaWire.EU cannot be responsible for verifying facts contained in Submitted PR Materials. All submitted PR materials must follow EuropaWire.EU’s editorial guidelines which can be found on EuropaWire.EU’s web site and are subject to change at any time at EuropaWire.EU’s sole discretion.
B. EuropaWire.EU reserves the right (i) to reject or edit submitted PR materials, provided that substantive edits to the submitted PR materials will not be made without your prior consent; and (ii) to remove any press release from its web site, pull any press release from distribution or deny approval to any press release. EuropaWire.EU can only remove submitted PR materials from its site, and EuropaWire.EU makes no representation or warranty regarding the removal of submitted PR materials from third party sites not affiliated with or controlled by EuropaWire.EU or EuropaWire, Ltd.
C. EuropaWire.EU endeavors to disseminate submitted PR materials promptly and accurately. Any inadvertent errors by EuropaWire.EU will be corrected promptly upon discovery, without additional charge, and such obligation to correct shall constitute the sole liability of EuropaWire.EU in this regard. If submitted PR material is not published on and distributed via EuropaWire.EU within 30 days of the earlier of the (i) date on which you enter such material or (ii) pay for the Service (even if you have not yet entered submitted PR material) for reasons other than a delay caused solely by EuropaWire.EU, then EuropaWire.EU’s service to you concerning such submitted PR material and/or payment shall be considered complete, and EuropaWire.EU shall have no further obligation to you regarding such submitted PR material or in relation to such payment.
D. All submitted PR materials transmitted by EuropaWire.EU must contain a user-supplied contact name, phone number and e-mail address that may be verified by EuropaWire.EU.
E. EuropaWire.EU does not guarantee specific placement of any EU press release nor pick up by third parties of any EU press release on its Europa/EU newswire, but will deliver a EU press release via online distribution methods to make such content available to be repurposed by third parties who discover the content at various Internet locations, both intended and unintended.
F. You agree to use the Service for its intended purpose and not for any illicit purposes including, but not limited to, the reverse engineering of the site and/or its processes and the inclusion of such processes or services in a derivative service. You shall not query, crawl or access any EuropaWire.EU systems without the prior written consent of EuropaWire.EU or EuropaWire, Ltd.
2. Suspension, Termination
A. EuropaWire.EU may suspend or terminate your account, wherever applicable, at any time in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your account becomes delinquent or you breach any material term or condition herein, then, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, EuropaWire.EU reserves the right to suspend your access to the Service, without liability to you.
3. Billing
A. You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable.

EuropaWire.EU utilizes third party billing and payment processors to accept payments from its clients for the services offered, such as PayPal or 2Co (2CheckOut).

If the contact or billing information you have provided is false or fraudulent, EuropaWire.EU reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service in addition to any other legal remedies.
