USE OF THIS SERVICE IS UNDERTAKEN SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK
Information, products and services offered through the internet are offered by third parties that are not affiliated with REV. Except for information, products or services clearly identified as being supplied by REV, REV does not operate, control or endorse any such information, product or services in any way. REV cannot and does not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading through the Internet will be free of viruses that manifest contaminating or destructive properties. The Internet contains unedited materials, some of which are sexually explicit or may be offensive to you or are unsuitable for minors (persons under 18 years of age). You agree to supervise usage by any minors when you agree to use this service. You access such materials at your own risk, and REV has no control over and accepts no responsibility whatsoever for such materials.
MONITORING AND REMOVAL OF CONTENT
REV is under no obligation to monitor the Services. However, REV reserves the right at all times and without notice to remove, restrict access to, or make unavailable, any content on its server that it considers, in its sole discretion, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, and to monitor, review, retain and/or disclose any content or other information in REV’s possession about or related to you, your use of the Services or otherwise as REV deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
LAW ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION
As a provider of Internet and telecommunications services, REV routinely receives legal requests for customer information from government and law enforcement personnel. REV also receives discovery requests in civil litigation. In all such cases, our policy is to cooperate as required by law, but to provide only such information as the law requires. This information is generally sought by subpoena served on REV. Under current law, many criminal subpoenas require that we not disclose or notify you of the request. Due to this fact and the volume of requests REV receives, we cannot assume any duty to notify you of any receipt of any legal requests. Note that the law does permit REV to disclose to law enforcement, voluntarily and without prior notice, customer information, including the contents of any communications, if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving danger of death or serious physical injury requires such disclosure without delay.
INTERNET SECURITY

You should always be sure who you are dealing with before responding with personal information.
