In addition, when using particular NINA services, Users are expected to follow any posted guidelines or rules.
All information gathered from Users by this Site will be governed by NINA's Privacy Policy, which is incorporated in these Terms of Use by reference. If there is a conflict between the terms of the NINA's Privacy Policy and this Agreement, the terms of NINA's Privacy Policy prevail over the terms of this Agreement.
