Terms of Service
This website is owned and operated by Advenet LLC ("Advenet"). Your use of the Advenet's
Internet sites or any of the products or services offered on those sites (collectively,
the "Services") is subject to these Terms of Service ("TOS"). We may modify these TOS at any
time without notice to you by posting revised TOS on our sites. Your use of our websites
constitutes your binding acceptance of these TOS, including any modifications that we make.
The Services include a combination of content that we create and that other third party
content suppliers create. In addition, some Services provide you and other users with
an opportunity to submit, post, display, transmit and/or exchange information, ideas,
opinions, photographs, images, creative works or other information, messages,
transmissions or material to us or others on or through that Service (collectively, the "Content").
You understand that the Services are provided by Advenet "AS IS", and that Advenet does not
guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any content available on or through the Services.
Advenet disclaims all responsibility and liability for the availability, timeliness, security
or reliability of the Services.
Advenet retains the right to create user limits on use and storage at our sole discretion
at any time with or without notice. Advenet also reserves the right to modify, suspend or
discontinue the Services with or without notice at any time and without any liability to you.
In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any of this Content, whether created
by or submitted to Advenet.
The Service is directed to adults and teenagers and is not directed to children under the age of 13.
You must be 13 years of age or older to use the Service. Advenet complies with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act and does not permit registration by and will not knowingly collect personally
identifiable information from anyone under 13.
Access to Sites: Advenet grants you a limited license to access and use the websites via
Web browsers or RSS readers only. You agree not to copy, republish, frame, download, transmit,
modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, assign, distribute, license, sublicense, reverse engineer,
or create derivative works based on the Content or Design of the websites. In addition, you agree
not to use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction methods in connection
with the websites. You further agree that you will not interfere with another member's use and
enjoyment of the Services; you will not interfere with or disrupt the security measures of the Services;
you will not interfere with or disrupt networks connected to the Services.
Registration, Passwords and Other Security Issues: When you open an account with Advenet,
you must provide true, accurate and complete registration information. Once your account is created,
you will be responsible for all activities occurring under your username. You further agree
to help protect your information by guarding your password, and by changing it as soon as
possible if you believe its security have been compromised.
If the registration page allows you to choose a username and you select, in Advenet's sole discretion,
one that is obscene, indecent, abusive or which is otherwise objectionable, Advenet has the right,
without prior notice to you, to automatically change your username, delete your postings under it,
deny you access to the Services, or any combination of these options. You may not transfer
your registration, password or user name to another person or share it with anyone.
Advenet will not be responsible for any loss or damage that may result if you fail to comply with
these requirements. If you believe your information has been used without your authorization,
you agree to notify us immediately.
Contribution of Content: Much of the content of our websites is provided by and is
the responsibility of the person or people who made those postings. Advenet does not monitor
the content and takes no responsibility for such content. However, Advenet reserves the right
to delete any Content at any time without notifying the person from which such Content originated.
You agree that you will not post Content that:
- are for purposes of spamming
- claim the identity, characteristics or qualifications of another person
- are unlawful, threatening, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane or indecent
including any communication that constitutes (or encourages conduct that would constitute)
a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability or otherwise violates any local, state,
national or international law
- violate the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of any other person
- contain any viruses, worms or any items of a destructive nature
Advenet does not claim ownership of the Content you place on the websites and shall have
no obligation of any kind with respect to such Content. You or a third party licensor,
as appropriate, retain all patent, trademark and copyright to any Content you post to
our websites and you are responsible for protecting those rights. By posting or otherwise
providing Content to Advenet, you grant Advenet a non-exclusive, royalty-free license
to reproduce, adapt and publish such Content on our websites. By posting Content to Discussion
Groups you also grant Advenet permission to forward Content to other news servers that host
discussions with similar topics.
Discussion Groups: Some of our websites give you free access to newsgroup discussions
("Discussion Groups"). The service eliminates the need for newsreading software and lets you
post your messages to newsgroups or search the newsgroup archive in the same way you would
search HTML pages on the Internet.
You acknowledge that the Discussion Groups are public and not private communications, and that
therefore others may read your communications without your knowledge. Always use caution when
giving out any personally identifying information about yourself in your posting. Any
communication that you post to the Services is considered to be non-confidential.
By their very nature, Discussion Groups may carry offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise
inappropriate material, or in some cases, postings that have been mislabeled or are otherwise
deceptive. We expect that you will use caution and common sense and exercise proper judgment
when using this service.
