  <h2>ARTMAP INC. dba HACKER NOON</h2>
  <p>
    <em>Last Updated on [April 22, 2020]</em>
  </p>
  <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
  <p>
    This website, www.hackernoon.com, along with any subdomains, official translated versions and mobile
    applications that link to or reference these User Terms of Service ("Site"), is operated by Artmap Inc.
    ("we", "us", or "Company"), a Colorado corporation with address at PO Box 2206, Edwards, Colorado 81632.
    These User Terms of Service ("User Terms") govern your access to and your use of the Site. "You" and "your"
    refer to you, a User of the Site. A "User" is anyone who accesses, browses, crawls, scrapes, contributes or
    submits Content (defined below) to, or in any way uses the Site. These User Terms refer to the HackerNoon
    Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which also applies to your use of the Site and which sets forth the
    terms on which personal data will be collected from you.
  </p>
  <h2>2. Acceptance of the User Terms</h2>
  <p>
    These User Terms are to ensure that you will use the Site only in the ways in which Company intends it to be
    used, and to make clear what uses Company will not permit, will not be responsible for, or both. By using
    the Site, or by clicking to accept or agree to the User Terms when the option is made available to you:
    <ul>
      <li>
        a. You acknowledge that you've read, understood, and concluded a legally binding contract with us in
        which you agree to be bound and abide by these User Terms and any additional documents or policies
        referred to in these User Terms, whether you are participating as a guest or as a registered User;
      </li>
      <li>
        b. You consent to receive communications from us electronically; we will communicate with you by email
        or by posting notices on the Site
      </li>
      <li>
        c. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you
        electronically via email or by posting notices on the Site satisfy any legal requirements that such
        communications be in writing; and
      </li>
      <li>
        d. You agree and represent that you have carefully read the HackerNoon Terms of Service and Privacy
        Policy, and that your use of the Site does not and will not violate any of your obligations or other
        provisions in either the HackerNoon Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.
      </li>
    </ul>
  </p>
  <h2>3. Changes to the User Terms</h2>
  <p>
    These User Terms may be revised from time to time. The most current version of these User Terms will be
    located here. You understand and agree that your access to or use of the Site is governed by the User Terms
    effective at the time of your access to or use of the Site. If we make material changes to these User Terms,
    we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on the Site prior to the effective date of the changes.
    We will also indicate at the top of this page the date that revisions were last made. You should revisit
    these User Terms on a regular basis as revised versions will be binding on you. Any such modification will
    be effective upon our posting of new User Terms. You understand and agree that your continued access to or
    use of the Site after the effective date of modifications to the User Terms indicates your acceptance of the
    modifications.
  </p>
  <h2>4. Translation</h2>
  We may translate these User Terms into other languages for your convenience. Nevertheless, the English version
  governs your relationship with us, and any inconsistencies among the different versions will be resolved in
  favor of the English version.

    by Users on this Site, including Your Content and any User Content. Your Content and any User Content must
    in their entirety comply with all applicable national, regional, federal, state, local, and international
    laws and regulations. You are solely responsible for any content you post or actions you take via this site
    and their consequences. In addition, Your Content and any User Content must not:

      <li>

        other person.
      </li>
      <li>
        Violate the legal rights (including the rights of publicity and privacy) of others or contain any

      </li>
      <li>Be likely to deceive any person.</li>
      <li>Promote any illegal activity, or advocate, promote, or assist any unlawful act.</li>
      <li>
        Be used to impersonate any person, or to misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or
        organization.
      </li>
      <li>
        Involve commercial activities or sales, such as contests, sweepstakes, and other sales promotions,
        barter, or advertising.
      </li>
      <li>
        Give the impression that they emanate from us or any other person or entity, if this is not the case.
      </li>
    </ul>
  </p>
  <p>
    i. We Are Not Responsible for Your Content and any User Content. Because the purpose of this Site is to
    empower you and we cannot review everything that is posted to the Site in advance, any content and/or
    opinions uploaded, expressed, or submitted to the Site, and all Site Content other than the content
    officially provided by Company, are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity
    submitting them and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Company. We are not responsible or liable to
    any third-party for the content or accuracy of any materials posted by you or any other User of the Site,
    and you agree to bear full responsibility for the content you post to the Site. We also cannot ensure prompt
    removal of objectionable material after it has been posted. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any
    action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or content provided by any User or third-party.
  </p>
  <h2>9. Enforcement of Terms</h2>
  <p>
    In order to ensure that the Site is used only for its intended purpose, we have the right to:
    <ul>
      <li>
        Remove or refuse to post any Site Content for any or no reason. This is a decision Company will strive
        to make fairly, but ultimately it is a decision that is solely up to Company to make.
      </li>
      <li>
        Take any action with respect to any Site Content that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole
        discretion if we believe that such Site Content violates the User Terms, including the Content
        Standards, infringes any intellectual property right or other right, threatens the personal safety of
        Users of the Site and the public, or could create liability for Company.
      </li>
      <li>
        Disclose your identity to any third-party who claims that material posted by you violates their rights,
        including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy. We will not do this lightly, but
        if we think it has the potential to facilitate a fair and just resolution of the dispute, or will
        protect Company from liability for which we are not responsible, we may take this step.
      </li>
      <li>
        Take appropriate legal action, including, without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any
        illegal or unauthorized use of the Site when we determine law enforcement is the proper and appropriate
        means for addressing the offending use.
      </li>
      <li>Terminate your access to all or part of the Site for any violation of these User Terms.</li>
    </ul>
    While we may attempt not to disclose material in response to overzealous or inappropriate requests, without
    limiting the foregoing, when we have a good faith belief that the law compels us to do so or when we think
    justice would be served, we may cooperate with law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or
    directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any materials on or through the Site. Should this
    happen, we will attempt to provide you with notice before we disclose your personal information to
    requesting third-parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe you should have a reasonable expectation
    of privacy in materials you disclose through your Internet use that are not clearly intended for public
    dissemination. Where possible, we may attempt to defend this principle even though most jurisdictions
    currently take the opposite position. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS COMPANY FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY
    ACTION TAKEN BY COMPANY DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A
    CONSEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER COMPANY OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES. We have no liability or
    responsibility to anyone for performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this section.
  </p>
  <h2>10. Links to other Sites</h2>
  <p>
    As is typical online, this Site and User posts may contain hyperlinks to other sites. If there are other
    websites and resources linked to on this Site, either by Company or by you, these links are provided only
    for the convenience of our Users. We have no control over the contents of those websites or resources, and
    therefore cannot accept responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of
    them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to the Site, you do so entirely at your
    own risk and subject to the User Terms and conditions of use for such websites.
  </p>
  <h2>11.No Guarantee of Service</h2>
  <p>
    Although we hope to make the Site available at all times in the future, there may be times when we need to
    disable the Site either temporarily or permanently. The Site may be modified, updated, interrupted,
    suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice or liability. Keep this in mind as Company will not be
    liable if all or any part of the Site is unavailable at any time, for any period of time. Also, from time to
    time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Site, or the entire Site, to Users, including registered
    Users.
  </p>
  <h2>12. Disclaimer of Warranties</h2>
  <p>
    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY SINCE IT LIMITS THE LIABILITY OF COMPANY TO YOU. EACH OF THE SUBSECTIONS
    BELOW ONLY APPLIES UP TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. NOTHING HEREIN IS INTENDED TO
