These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of any website, mobile/tablet application, newsletter, text list or other service (collectively, the “Services”) offered by Clarke Broadcasting Corporation (collectively “we” or “Clarke”). Review these Terms carefully before using the Services. By using any of the Services, you accept these Terms. These Terms also incorporate the Terms of Service for Clarke’s classified ads sales, which can be found below.

Changes. From time to time we may change, update or modify these Terms. If you continue to use the Services after we change the Terms, you accept all changes.

Contest Rules. All contests or sweepstakes conducted by us on the Services have additional contest rules which apply. Each website for our radio stations contains general contest rules.

While agreement to Third Party Policies may be required in order to utilize third party services or enter third party contest on the Services, the Third Party Policies are a separate agreement between the user and such third party.
