General Description

cctvcambridge.org (the “Site”) is the main website for the Cambridge Public Access Corporation, d/b/a Cambridge Community Television. (“CCTV”).  CCTV is a public forum dedicated to issues of interest to Cambridge residents, businesses and organizations.  The Site is intended as a forum for all members of the Cambridge community to post, link, and comment on content relating to the community.  In doing this, the Site serves as a tool in furthering CCTV's mission to provide access to telecommunications technology so that all may become active participants in electronic media. 

The Site displays content that is both CCTV-generated and user-generated. User generated content includes but is not limited to videos, posts, comments and other materials created by users, which content is then hosted on the Site and/or linked/embedded from a third-party website to the Site.  Users must provide personally identifiable information when they submit user generated content other than public comments.  This information may include, but is not limited to, a username and e mail address.  Users are required to log in to the Site, while Visitors can browse some of the content without providing any identifiable information.

Merely viewing content displayed on the Site, or commenting on a post, is allowed without providing personally identifiable information, but these Visitors are still subject to the Terms.  The Site allows Users and Visitors to set up feeds and allow aggregation of content that is in compliance with the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of the Site.

User-generated content is not affiliated with CCTV.  This content may be hosted on CCTV's servers or on third-party sites, and may be embedded on other sites, unless the User specifically disables this feature.  CCTV does not endorse, support, or share the viewpoint of any user-generated content hosted on the Site and/or linked/embedded from a third-party website to the Site.  Additionally, CCTV is not liable for any content that is hosted on third-party sites, such as YouTube, Blip.tv, Facebook, or other media sharing sites.

CCTV-generated content may include, but is not limited to, programming schedules, archived media and live web-streaming of CCTV television stations.  CCTV does not endorse, support, or share the viewpoint of any content on its website or television channels, unless specifically noted.

CCTV may change the Terms from time to time, at CCTV's sole discretion.  Your continued use of the Site following the posting of such changes will constitute your assent to all such changes.  Each visit to the Site is a new transaction, governed by the Terms that are linked at that time.  By creating a user account, you agree to periodically visit this section of the Site to review the current versions of the Terms.  Additionally, users agree to forfeit their right to be notified of changes to the Terms.
