These User Terms of Service (“User Terms”) govern your access to and your use of the Site. “You” and “your” refer to you, a User of the Site. A “User” is anyone who accesses, browses, crawls, scrapes, contributes or submits Content (defined below) to, or in any way uses the Site.
+These User Terms refer to the Medium Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which also applies to your use of the Site and which sets forth the terms on which personal data will be collected from you. </p>
+
+<ol>
+<li><p>Acceptance of the User Terms. 
+These User Terms are to ensure that you will use the Site only in the ways in which Company intends it to be used, and to make clear what uses Company will not permit, will not be responsible for, or both. 
+By using the Site, or by clicking to accept or agree to the User Terms when the option is made available to you:
