Disclaimer and Terms of Service
The information on WomensNet.net
is not to be construed as advice. WomensNet.net was designed as
a free service to the general public. WomensNet.net, and it's
parent company in no way endorses or supports any of the advertisers,
listings or firms represented. In addition, WomensNet.net accepts
no responsibility for the information within the ads or any information
or opinions that might be given. WomensNet.net, it's parent companies,
and all affiliates accept no responsibility for any faulty, incorrect
or misleading information or opinions that may be given, either malicious
or accidental. We review websites and programs as we become aware
of them and at our convenience. If a site has not been featured,
it does not mean that it has been reviewed, or that it is in any
way inferior to the sites that we have listed.
Terms of Use
Our lawyers made us include it and made us use a precious button
on our home page to get you here. At first, we thought the lawyers
were a real pain. But then we read the page. What a Netwakening!
It's really important stuff. We took the legalese the lawyers wrote
and translated it into readable English. So be a smart nethead and
read the stuff on this page. It could prevent you from hearing from
our lawyers, or worse yet, from really nasty people, like prosecutors.
Here's the deal:
We run this site so that people like you (and people you like) can
use it for personal entertainment, information, education, communication,
and cybergratification. So go ahead and browse around all you like.
You can even download stuff from the site but only for non-commercial,
personal use. If you do, though, don't fool around with the copyright
and other notices all over the stuff. They're there for a really
good reason. And don't even think about distributing, modifying,
transmitting, reusing, re-posting, or anything else un-cool with
any of the stuff, including the text, images, audio, and video, for
public or commercial purposes unless we give you written permission.
And it's not likely we will.
If you visit our site, you're also legally obligated to the terms
and conditions listed below and any other law or regulation that
applies to the site, the Internet, the World Wide Web, or Comal County,
TX. You shouldn't access or browse the site if you have any problem
with that, because once you start, there's no turning back -- you
are bound by [read: stuck with] the terms and conditions.
So here's the scoop on our Top Eleven Rules for Cybersurfers who
hang out on our site:
1. For everyone's sake, just assume that everything on the site
is copyrighted unless we say it's not. So you can't use the stuff
except how we say you can on this page or anywhere else on the site
without our written permission. And like we said before, it's not
likely we'll give you permission anyway. In fact, even if we wanted
to, the lawyers are likely to veto any deal anyway. So it's better
you don't even ask.
2. While we try to include accurate stuff on the site, we're not
promising you it's accurate. In fact, we're not promising you anything
except fun and entertainment. So if you use stuff on the site, you're
using it at your own risk. Don't call us if there's a problem because
we assume no liability or responsibility for errors or omissions
on the site.
3. We and anybody else who
helped us create, produce, or deliver the site are not liable for
any damages you suffer when you use it. In particular, the lawyers
want you to know that our disclaimer includes "direct,
incidental, consequential, indirect, or punitive damages arising
out of your access to, or use of, the site. Without limiting the
foregoing, everything on the site is provided to you 'AS IS' WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON INFRINGEMENT.
Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion
of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply
to you. Check your local laws for any restrictions or limitations
regarding the exclusion of implied warranties. Ugh! What a mouthful
from the mouthpieces. We put all of that in quotes because we couldn't
figure out any other way to say it that the lawyers would accept.
But here's the bottom line -- we're not responsible if you're browsing
around and the site damages you or your computer or infects it with
any nasty viruses. We sure hope that doesn't happen, but if it does,
don't call us.
4. If you don't want the world to know something, don't post in
on the site in any bulletin board or anyplace else. That's because
anything you disclose to us is ours. That's right -- ours. So we
can do anything we want with the stuff you post. We can reproduce
it, disclose it, transmit it, publish it, broadcast it, and post
it someplace else. We can even send it to your mother (as soon as
we find her address). Not only that, we can even use any ideas, concepts,
know-how, or techniques you post any way we want to, including, developing,
manufacturing and marketing products or other stuff using the information
you post.
5. Pictures of people or places shown on the site are either our
property or someone else's property we're using with their permission.
No matter what, it's definitely not your property. You or any of
your net-friends can't use it unless we said you could on this page
or somewhere else on the site. And guess what -- we won't say yes.
So be careful, Bunky, because unauthorized use may violate all sorts
of nasty laws. Be smart, keep the stuff you download to yourself.
6. There's also a lot of trademarks, logos, and service marks on
the site that either we own or we're using with someone else's permission.
So don't think you have any kind of license or right to use them,
because you don't and we're not about to give you one. If you don't
leave them alone and mess with our trademarks, logos and service
marks on our site, we'll probably go ballistic, so will the companies
that own the other trademarks, logos and service marks. That means
that we're likely to sue you or to ask a prosecutor to come after
you for messing around with our property or the property of others.
7. You'll probably notice we've linked our site to lots of others.
While that's cool, it doesn't mean we've looked at all those sites,
much less checked them out periodically to see what's going on. So
don't blame us if some site you link to is bad or has stuff on it
that offends you or your pets. Go ahead and link, but remember, you're
doing it at your risk.
8. That brings us to what you do on our own site. While we occasionally
listen in on chat groups, or look at the posting in our discussion
groups or on our bulletin boards, we take no responsibility and assume
no liability for the content of those locations or for any mistakes,
defamation, libel, slander, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography,
or profanity you might encounter when you visit such places on our
site. And don't be stupid by posting or transmitting any unlawful,
threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory,
pornographic, nasty, mean, or profane material or any material that
law enforcement types may consider a criminal offense, get someone
in court on a civil lawsuit, or for that matter violate any law --
anywhere, anytime. While we certainly respect your privacy, we have
no choice but to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities
or court which might ask us who might have posted nasty stuff on
our site.
9. Software that we use on this Site is protected by all sorts of
patriotic U.S. laws. Because of that, you can't download or send
the software to anyone in the vacation travel spots of Cuba, Iraq,
Libya, North Korea, Iran, Syria, or any other country where United
States has embargoed goods; or (get this) to anyone on the United
States Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals,
the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Deny Orders, or the FBI's
Most Wanted Internet Creeps List (just kidding on the last one).
As if that were not tough enough, if you live in or are a national
of any of those lovely places, you're not even supposed to be reading
this page, so beat it!
10. We're also allowed to change this page and anything else on
the site any time we want to. That's because it's ours and we have
the programmers who can do it. If we do change the page, then you're
bound by those changes, too, whenever you visit our site.
11. If either of us wants to
make something of it and wants to "sue" (a
dirty word) then we have to follow these rules of engagement. (sort
of according to the Geneva Convention):
To the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate
WomensNet.net and/or its affiliates' intellectual property rights,
WomensNet.net and/or its affiliates may seek injunctive or other
appropriate relief in any state or federal and you consent to exclusive
jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Any other disputes will be resolved as follows:
If a dispute arises under this agreement, we agree to first try
to resolve it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon mediator. Any
costs and fees other than attorney fees associated with the mediation
will be shared equally by each of us.
If it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution
through mediation, we agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration,
under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any
court with jurisdiction to do so.
WomensNet.net is the trademark of WomensNet.net and cannot
be used without the written permission of WomensNet.net.
