We do not undertake a general obligation to monitor all User Content.
We may use manual or automated methods to identify potential violations, but no moderation system is guaranteed to detect every violation.
Our failure to identify, review, or remove particular content does not create a duty to do so.

A report does not guarantee removal.
We may request additional information when appropriate.
We may take action without notifying the person who submitted the content.

Ratemyrjteacher.com provides a platform through which users may submit information and opinions.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ratemyrjteacher.com does not become the author or speaker of User Content merely by providing the platform through which users submit or display that content.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive, limit, or diminish any immunity, defense, privilege, or other protection available to Ratemyrjteacher.com under applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to create an admission concerning the applicability or scope of any particular statutory immunity.

We may restrict access to Site functionality or prevent further submissions when we determine that a person has violated these Terms or otherwise abused the Site.
Because ordinary reviews are not tied to user accounts, certain enforcement actions may necessarily operate through technical or administrative mechanisms rather than individual account termination.

4. your misuse of the Site; or

We do not promise that we can identify a reviewer.
We may update these Terms from time to time.
The updated version will be posted on the Site with a revised effective date.
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
