Use of Site and/or Service. This Website and Portal and the services provided (collectively, “Site”) are maintained and operated by RVING IS BEING LLC (“Us,” ‘We,” “Our” or “Company”) with an address at PO BOX 416 Manistee, MI 49660, and a registered address, through counsel, of 124 W. Allegan St., Suite 1000, Lansing, MI 48933. We offer this Site for you to view information and documents (collectively, “Materials”) and message boards (“Community”, “Communities”, “Community Website”, “Discussion Groups” and “Discussions”) and make purchases of Our products and services. Please note that you must be at least 18 years of age to use the Services on this Site. If you breach any of the Terms in these Terms of Service (“Terms”), your authorization to use this Site or these Services automatically terminates.

We may revise these Terms of Service at any time without any prior notice and you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. Any modification will become effective when it is first posted to the Site. You are responsible to return to the Terms of Service from time to time to review the most current terms and conditions. We may notify you by either posting a new version of these Terms of Service, updating these Terms without a separate notice, or notifying visitors on the website that a new version has been posted.

Registration Requirements. Access to the Site is not restricted except for prohibiting those under 18 from using Our Site (see also #7 in Our Privacy Policy). However, access to certain online Communities on the Site may be further restricted at any time. To the extent access is restricted, you shall not access or use the online Community or permit or enable anyone else to access or use the online Community, unless you or such other person, are properly authorized to do so.  Should you voluntarily provide an e-mail address, the Site may offer to send blog updates to your e-mail.  Providing such an e-mail represents express consent for us to send e-mails to you.

Account Responsibility. To the extent this site has user accounts, users are solely responsible for protecting their accounts from access by others. If any Site features are password protected, you are strongly encouraged to select a hard-to-guess password and not re-use that password on any other sites where it may be read by the owners or administrators of that site.

Because of this rule, it is highly recommended that Community Users do not share their accounts with others nor share their computers used to access the Site with others, as the actions of some other person could easily directly impact all known shared Community accounts.

Should a User be temporarily blocked from the Site based on violations of the Terms, we ask that they comply with the banned period. Permanent bans will result from Users “hacking” their way onto the Site using Proxy IP addresses, among other means.

Privacy and Release of Information. Under normal circumstances, we will not release your provided information to any third party without your consent. However, in cases of Terms violations or illegal activities, We reserve the right to forward any and all known information about you and your accounts to your ISP (including libraries, schools and places of employment), e-mail service provider, your ISP account owner (if someone else is actually paying for it) and any parties whose copyright has clearly been infringed by your actions on the boards or requests from law enforcement authorities.

All of the information that we collect from you, such as registration and credit card information, is subject to our Privacy Policy. Please CLICK HERE to see our full Privacy Policy.

Some of the information you see on Our Site may be customized based on automated predictions about your interests, which predictions are generated from your visits over time and across different websites, using tools such as Google Analytics. This information allows Us to create content of greater interest to you and can also be used to serve ads based on your past visits to Our Site. Note that you can opt out of a third party vendor’s use of cookies, including use by Google, by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.

For more information about how targeted Network Advertising works, please visit: www.youradchoices.com or networkadvertising.org/understanding–online–advertising.

You may opt-out of third party targeted advertising or analytics in two ways: 1) By directly notifying a Network Advertising service provider via its opt-out tools (Please see above) or 2) using your browser’s Do Not Track (DNT) settings to indicate that you do not wish to receive targeted advertising based on your overall internet usage. For more information about DNT and how it works, please visit the Future of Privacy Forum’s website: allaboutdnt.com/.

We will make a reasonable effort to honor your DNT browser settings for opting out of receiving targeted third party advertising based on your overall Internet usage. Please note that various browsers frequently update technology or change their settings and business practices without advance notice and We may not have the latest information on how to honor your preferences. If you exercise either opt-out option, the cookie opt-out, or the browser opt-out, you will continue to receive advertising, but such advertising may not relate to your specific interests, previous purchases or search history.

However, you cannot opt-out of Our contextual analytics and advertising, which is based on your usage of only Our Site. We will continue to serve you contextual advertising. We will also continue to monitor your usage and search or transaction history to provide Us with analytics on how well Our Site, features and activities are functioning and used.
