By accessing or using SkillsBoard ("the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Site.
These Terms apply to all visitors and users of SkillsBoard. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
SkillsBoard grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any content without our prior written permission.
You agree not to use the Site in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations, infringes on the rights of others, or interferes with the Site's operation. Automated scraping, crawling, or data harvesting beyond normal browser use is prohibited without explicit written consent.
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access for any user who violates these Terms or engages in conduct we determine to be harmful to the Site or its community.
All rankings, scores, and chart positions on SkillsBoard are editorial assessments based on our proprietary methodology. They represent our opinion of creative skill as demonstrated through publicly available work and are not factual statements of objective quality.
Rankings are not endorsements, and the absence or low ranking of an artist does not constitute a negative statement about that individual. Chart positions change weekly and should not be relied upon for any commercial or professional purpose.
SkillsBoard is not affiliated with any artist, label, publisher, or creative agency featured on the Site unless explicitly stated. Artist names, images, and associated content are referenced for editorial commentary purposes.
The SkillsBoard name, logo, site design, original written content, ranking methodology, and all other original materials are the intellectual property of SkillsBoard and are protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws.
Artist names, album artwork, song titles, and other third-party content referenced on the Site remain the property of their respective owners. Their inclusion on SkillsBoard constitutes editorial commentary and does not imply ownership or endorsement.
If you believe any content on the Site infringes your intellectual property rights, contact us via the About page with details of your claim and we will respond promptly.
If you submit information to SkillsBoard via a contact or nomination form, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that information for editorial and operational purposes, including publishing chart-related content derived from it.
You represent that any information you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge and does not infringe the rights of any third party. We are not obligated to act on any submission or to include any submitted artist or work in our charts.
We do not accept unsolicited commercial proposals, promotional agreements, or sponsored ranking requests. Any attempt to influence chart positions through payment or other inducements will result in disqualification and removal.
SkillsBoard is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information on the Site. Rankings, scores, and editorial content are subject to change without notice.
Any reliance you place on information from SkillsBoard is at your own risk. We expressly disclaim liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance on Site content.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SkillsBoard and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site or any content on it.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim — which, given that the Site is free to use, is zero.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services. These links are provided for informational purposes only. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site.
Accessing third-party links from SkillsBoard is at your own risk and subject to the terms of those third parties.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation where possible.
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the applicable jurisdiction. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
If you have questions about these Terms and Conditions, please contact us via the About page. We will respond to all substantive inquiries in a timely manner.
