Final judgment on the rating of any particular website will remain at the sole discretion of BlockerX.

When a rating change request or request by phone, email, or other means for assistance in understanding a report is submitted by the User and/or other members on this account and/or an Ally, said request constitutes permission by you, the User, to allow BlockerX to view said report for the purpose of analysis. The said request itself shall be retained by BlockerX indefinitely, but the associated Report will not be retained; however, any portions of Reports included in email correspondence between the member or Ally and BlockerX will be retained by BlockerX for the purposes of documenting the correspondence. BlockerX will not make interpretations of data provided in Reports.

You shall indemnify BlockerX, its shareholders, affiliates, officers, directors, licensees and licensors from any and all claims and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees arising from any cause.
