8. Access to the
Service
a) MattressFinder.net
grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive
license to access the Service for your own personal
use of the Service, and not to download (other than
page caching) or modify it, or any portion of it, or
any Content made available via the Service (except
for your own Content), without the express written
consent of MattressFinder.net. This license does not
include any collection, aggregation, copying,
duplication, display or derivative use of the
Service nor any use of data mining, robots, spiders,
or similar data gathering and extraction tools for
any purpose unless expressly permitted by
MattressFinder.net. A limited exception is provided
to general purpose internet search engines and
non-commercial public archives that use such tools

displaying hyperlinks to the Service, provided they
each do so from a stable IP address or range of IP
addresses using an easily identifiable agent and
comply with our robots.txt file. "General purpose

services.
b) MattressFinder.net
permits you to display on your website, or create a
hyperlink on your website to the Service so long as
such use is for noncommercial and/or news reporting
purposes only (e.g., for use in personal web blogs
or personal online media). If the total number of
such postings displayed or linked to on your website
exceeds one hundred (100) postings, your use will be
presumed to be in violation of these Terms, absent
express permission granted by MattressFinder.net to
do so. You may also create a hyperlink to the home
page of MattressFinder.net sites so long as the link
does not portray MattressFinder.net, its employees,
advertisers, or its affiliates in a false,
misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive
matter.
Use of the Service
beyond the scope of authorized access granted to you
by MattressFinder.net immediately terminates said
permission or license. In order to collect,
aggregate, copy, duplicate, display or make
derivative use of the Service or any Content made
available via the Service for other purposes
(including commercial purposes) not stated herein,
you must first obtain a license from
MattressFinder.net.

MattressFinder.net, in its sole discretion, has the
right (but not the obligation) to delete or
deactivate your account, block your email or IP
address, or otherwise terminate your access to or
use of the Service (or any part thereof),
immediately and without notice, and remove and
discard any Content within the Service, for any
reason, including, without limitation, if

inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the
Terms. Further, you agree that MattressFinder.net
shall not be liable to you or any third-party for
any termination of your access to the Service.
Further, you agree not to attempt to use the Service

information
The Terms constitute
the entire agreement between you and

provisions. You and MattressFinder.net agree to
submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts located within the county of Middlesex,

endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions
as reflected in the provision, and the other
provisions of the Terms remain in full force and
effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or
law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action
arising out of or related to use of the Service or
