Electronic Subscription User Agreement

Please read the following

For the purpose of this agreement, "Subscriber" shall mean the person who is applying for access to the full online digital/electronic version of The Sheridan Headlight, hereafter called "newspaper."

In order to subscribe to the full online version of the newspaper, subscriber must:
Pay the subscription fee set forth by the newspaper, in advance. Payment shall be for a period of one-year. The system is designed to automatically send a account expiration notice approx. 30 days from the time of account expiration via e-mail. If payment is not received prior to the expiration date, login shall be automatically disabled by the system.
Have a high-speed internet connection such as DSL or cable. In the event that high-speed is not available in subscriber's area, dial-up may be used but is NOT recommended due to page load times. Dial-up subscribers shall hold newspaper harmless from any problems in connectivity. While it may be possible in most dial-up cases to download pages, it will be a very slow connection that may even time-out every now and then. Therefore, we highly recommend only high-speed users should subscribe online at this time.
Have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and working properly on subscriber computer. This program is available free for download from Adobe products at www.adobe.com.
Have frames enabled in your browser. Most current browsers are set to handle this automatically. To enable frames, go the "help" file in the top menu on your browser.

In the event that subscriber shall not meet the above requirements for viewing the online full edition, the newspaper shall not be responsible in any way for subscriber not being able to access the online version.

The newspaper shall provide, each Wednesday, the new version of that week's newspaper for online full version subscriber use. This information shall be provided in .pdf format.

Subscriber shall not distribute or share username and password with any other person (except for with those who share the same household). Scripts has been installed on this website which tracks subscriber use of the online version. This tracks no personal information, but does alert newspaper of multiple users sharing online access and automatically suspends the offending account. Any subscriber who is found to be sharing access shall be subject to immediate forfeiture of remaining subscription time. This is for the protection of the newspaper. All subscriptions must be documented for legal verification purposes, and paid subscribers allow for the newspaper to be published. We ask for your respect and understanding on this matter.

The newspaper shall provide subscriber with a working username and password. This information shall be sent automatically by email. Subscribers paying by credit card typically get their username and password instantly and those paying by check must wait for the check to clear our bank before receiving access. Should email be unavailable for subscriber, subscriber should contact newspaper by telephone at (870) 942-2142 or by mail at The Sheridan Headlight, P.O. Box 539, Sheridan, AR 72150. The newspaper shall make reasonable effort to ensure login information is sent to new subscribers in a timely manner. However, if the subscriber has not received a response within 48 hours (during business days), subscriber shall contact newspaper for information by phone, mail or by email at "online@sheridanheadlight.com." 

In the event of emergency or disaster, the newspaper shall be held harmless for late updating of newspaper. However, the newspaper shall make every effort to upload the new issue on time, every week. In the event of an emergency or disaster, the newspaper shall make upload as soon as necessary services are restored to the newspaper office (power, etc.), during business hours.

Subscriber understands this subscription is for an electronic/digital version of The Sheridan Headlight. No newspaper shall be received via mail for these subscribers, but subscribers may choose to print out a copy of any page desired by using the 'print' function on the user computer. If printing a full page, subscriber should choose to "tile" pages.

Online subscriptions are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for a regular mail subscription. Time remaining on an online subscription will not be credited towards a mail subscription. There are no refunds or exchanges allowed.

Requests for lost passwords shall be answered as quickly as possible electronically, when available. If subscriber loses his/her password, subscriber may request this information by using the automated password recovery system on the site.  Resetting a password may require administrator intervention and is typically done within 48 hours from the time of the request.

The site also monitors hacking attempts and will automatically block the IP addresses of those that are trying to hack into the site for a period of 24 hours. All failed login attempts are recorded and the site administrator is automatically notified of hacking attempts and can place a long term ban on users.
 

You MUST have the proper software and internet connection in order to subscribe online. You should have a high-speed connection (dial-up connections will be slow but are permitted. You are warned, however, that with dial-up internet, these pages can take a long time to load). You will also need Adobe Acrobat Reader. This is a free program available from Adobe (www.adobe.com). You can click on the icon below to get your free copy of this program from the Adobe website.
