Check out our Privacy Policy and make sure you agree with that as well.
If you are going to make any money off of us, you first have to pay us $1,000,000 USD cash, in person, unless we agree to more, in which case you would pay us more.

1. Application and Acceptance of this Agreement

These Terms of Use along with our Privacy Policy and any additional guidelines, terms, procedures or rules that may apply to a specific feature of Key Rack Research that are owned or operated by Key Rack Research or its affiliates ("we", "us", "our", "KRR" or "Key Rack Research"), are a contract in electronic form between you (“you,” “your,” and “yourself”) and KRR (the “Agreement”). This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms governing your access and use of Key Rack Research. This Agreement applies to KRR and its affiliates only and does not cover other companies, including third parties that may advertise or sponsor content, products or services on KRR or any third-party platforms (such as social media platforms or app stores) or other channels that you may use to access KRR or any Content (as defined below ... maybe).

KRR and Content are for general information, discussion and entertainment purposes only. The term “Content” includes, without limitation, information, data, text, photographs, videos, audio clips, written posts, articles, comments, formulas, memes, stories, cool ninja moves, sexiness, software, scripts, graphics and interactive features generated, provided, or otherwise made available through or in connection with KRR. We make no representations or guarantees about any aspect of KRR and Content and do not endorse any opinions expressed by any users. KRR AND ALL CONTENT ARE PUBLISHED “AS IS” AND YOUR USE OR RELIANCE ON KRR OR ANY CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF USING OR RELYING ON KRR OR ANY CONTENT.

In order to officially accept this Agreement in full you and a living member of KRR must meet in person, look each other in the eye, recite the KRR In-Person-Eye-to-Eye-Hand-Shake Agreement, and perform the ceremonial KRR website Agreement ritual. If you have not or refuse to accept this official Agreement in full, then you are hearby banished from KRR until we deem you worthy. See the Contact Us section on how to remedy banishment.

2. Privacy Notice

In connection with your access to or use of KRR, we may obtain information from or about you. We will use your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which describes our privacy practices as well as choices you may have with respect to the collection and processing of some of your information.

3. Accuracy of Your Information & Communication Methods

The information you submit to us through KRR, including as part of your account creation, registration or membership, must be truthful, accurate and current. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of such information. If we believe that your information is not truthful, accurate or current, we have the right to terminate, suspend or refuse you access to KRR.

We may send you information relating to your use of KRR (e.g., payment authorizations, invoices, changes in password or payment method, confirmation messages, notices, birthday messages, virtual high-fives, memes we may find hilarious) in electronic form only, for example via emails to your email address provided during registration, if applicable. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.

If you are under the age of 1, or over the age of 2, you may not access or use KRR or provide information to us. If you are over the age of 100, we may cut you some slack ... keyword there is *may*. ;)

By accessing or using KRR, you represent that you have legal capacity to enter into this Agreement and to fulfill your obligations set out in this Agreement. If you are not of an age old enough to enter into contracts in your state (i.e., a minor), you need to review this Agreement with your parent or guardian before using KRR; if your parent or guardian do not agree with the Agreement as applied to you, then you are not authorized to access or use KRR.

To the extent we make KRR or Content available to you via a widget, embedded player or other technology that allows you to embed or stream Content on or to another online service, you may not modify, enhance, remove, interfere with, or otherwise alter in any way any portion of such technology, any digital rights management mechanism, device, or other content protection or access control measure associated with Content.

You agree that you will not submit to KRR any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary, unless we clearly agree to keep the specific Feedback as confidential prior to receipt of the Feedback.

We are tired of copy and pasting this agreement. So, just visit Hearst's website, and obviously agree to their terms of use, then understand that all of their stuff applies to us, with modifications that we choose to make.

30. Contact Us.

If you have any questions about this Agreement, you may contact us by email at devnull@krr.org. You may have a better chance of reaching us if you place "KRR Terms of Use" as the subject, but no guarantees on this. Your best bet to contact us really is to perform the sacred dwarf-planet-Eris-new-year-rotation ritual, which, according to legend, occurs each time the dwarf planet Eris completes an orbit of the Sun since its discovery by humans (January 2005).
