We reserve the right to update the Service and this Agreement from time to time, without notice to you other than appearing on the Site. If we do this, we will indicate at the beginning of the Agreement when they were last revised. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Service and to review the Agreement. Your continued use of the Service constitutes your agreement to all revisions to the Agreement. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service shall also be subject to the Agreement.

The contents (including, but not limited to, text, photographs, graphics, interactive features, video, audio content, service marks and logos) on the Service are owned by Sahan Journal and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws. All individual articles, content and other elements comprising this Service are also copyrighted works. You must abide by all additional copyright notices or restrictions contained in this Service.
3. (a) Except for content you have posted on the Service, or unless expressly permitted, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, enter into a database, display, perform, modify, create derivative works, transmit, or in any way exploit any part of this Service, except that you may download material from this Service for your own personal use as follows: you may make one machine readable copy and/or one print copy that is limited to occasional articles of personal interest only.

3 (b) SahanJournal.com has been specially designed for presentation of content in a unique format and appearance to our users. We are concerned about the integrity of our Service when it is viewed in a setting created by a third party that includes advertising or other materials that we have not authorized to be displayed with our Service. Neither you nor any third party shall make use of the contents of the Service in any manner that constitutes an infringement of our rights, including copyright.
3 (c) Just as SahanJournal.com requires users to respect our copyrights, and those of our affiliates and partners, we respect the copyrights of others. If you believe in good faith that your copyrighted work has been reproduced on our site without authorization in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify us at contact@sahanjournal.com. This contact information is only for suspected copyright infringement. Contact information for other matters is provided elsewhere on this site. Any personal information you provide in your note will be used only for purposes related to your note.
4. Sahan Journal does not charge for its Service – it is intended to be free for use by all users.

Sahan Journal will make reasonable efforts to provide you with written notice of any such claim, suit or action, but the failure of Sahan Journal to provide such notice will not relieve you of these obligations.
