Accepting the Terms

When you use TrueMedia.Org’s service (which could be anything we offer on TrueMedia.Org, whether you’ve signed up or not), you’re agreeing to our terms and conditions and entering into a contract with TrueMedia.Org, Inc. Make sure you read and understand these terms before you begin.

If you agree (which might be by clicking a button or using our site), then you promise to follow these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use our site, TrueMedia.Org.

Also, you need to be at least 13 years old to use our site, and you must be able to enter into agreements like these terms. If you’re not old enough or aren’t able to follow all these terms, then you shouldn’t use our site.

Updating these Terms

Sometimes we need to change or update these terms, and we can do that at our option. When we make a change and put it on our site, it starts to apply right away for everyone using our site.

If there’s an ongoing legal issue, the new changes won’t apply to the issue if you and we both already knew about the disagreement before we changed the terms.

If you keep using our site after we’ve updated these terms, that means you’re okay with the new terms. We think it’s a good idea for you to check these terms once in a while to see if there’s anything new, because any changes apply to you.
