Effective Date: July 8, 2026 · Last Updated: July 8, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at https://dcnmain.com and the related secure portal and services operated by DCN Cooperative Network of PA, operating as DCN (“DCN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) (collectively, the “Services”). Please read these Terms carefully.
By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you and that organization.
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Services. The Services are intended for business and professional use by contractors, clients, and their authorized representatives. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.
To use certain features, you must register for an Account. You agree to (a) provide accurate, current, and complete information; (b) keep your credentials confidential and not share them; (c) be responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account; and (d) notify us promptly at legal@dcnmain.com of any unauthorized use or suspected security breach. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized use of your Account resulting from your failure to safeguard your credentials. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate Accounts at our discretion as described in these Terms.
The Services provide a secure portal through which contractors, clients, and administrators can access and manage account information, earnings, deductions, settlement and payment records, tax documents (including IRS Form 1099 information), and related records. We may modify, enhance, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We strive to keep the Services available and accurate but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:
We monitor use of the Services to protect their security and integrity and may investigate and take appropriate action, including reporting to law enforcement, against anyone who violates this Section.
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information you submit through the Services, and for maintaining your own copies of records where appropriate. You grant us the limited right to use, process, store, and transmit the information you provide solely as necessary to operate and provide the Services and as described in our Privacy Policy. You represent that you have the necessary rights and authority to provide any information you submit.
The Services may display earnings, deductions, settlement, and payment information and may generate or make available tax documents such as IRS Form 1099. This information is provided for your convenience and recordkeeping. It does not constitute financial, accounting, legal, or tax advice, and you should consult a qualified professional regarding your specific circumstances. While we take care to process this information accurately, you are responsible for reviewing your records and promptly notifying us of any discrepancy. Actual payment obligations, amounts, and timing are governed by your separate agreement with the applicable client or engaging organization.
The Services, including their design, text, graphics, software, and other materials (excluding your data and Content), are owned by DCN or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended business purposes, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Services, or the DCN name, logos, or marks, without our prior written consent.
The Services may rely on or link to third-party services (such as email, SMS, and payment or banking providers) or third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party, and your use of a third party’s services is governed by that third party’s terms and policies.
Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose personal information, including how and why we store IP address data for security, DoS/DDoS mitigation, and debugging. By using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described there.
The Services and all Content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. DCN does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any information provided through the Services is accurate, complete, or current.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, DCN and its owners, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, DCN’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100.00) or the amount you paid us, if any, for access to the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, whichever is greater.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DCN and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or any law; or (c) your violation of the rights of any third party. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, to protect the security or integrity of the Services, or as required by law. You may stop using the Services at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends, but provisions that by their nature should survive — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and the miscellaneous provisions — will survive. We will handle any data associated with your Account in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute not otherwise resolved will be the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at legal@dcnmain.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally in good faith. If we cannot resolve a dispute within sixty (60) days, either party may pursue the claim in the courts identified in Section 16. Each party will bear its own costs except as otherwise provided by law. Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief to protect its rights.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above and, where changes are material, provide additional notice as appropriate. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Services.
