WEB SITE TERMS OF USE
Wow! You actually came to this page. We took the liberty to rewrite the attorneys’ legalese and translate it into readable English. So be smart and read what is on this page. It could prevent you from hearing from them.
The Terms.
We run this site so that people can use it for personal information, education and entertainment. Please browse around all you like. You can even download things from the site but only for non-commercial, personal use. If you do, though, honor the copyright and other notices all over our material. And please don’t distribute, modify, transmit, reuse, re-post, or anything else with any of our material, including the text, images, audio, and video, for public or commercial purposes unless we give you written permission.
If you visit our site, you’re also legally obligated to read the terms and conditions listed below and any other law or regulation that applies to the site, the Internet, the World Wide Web, or Austin Texas. 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 the terms and conditions.
Our Top Ten Rules for People Who Visit Our Site:
- For everyone’s sake, just assume that everything on the site is copyrighted unless we say it’s not. So, you can’t use our material except how we say you can on this page or anywhere else on the site without our written permission.
- While we try to include accurate information on the site, we’re not promising you it’s accurate. In fact, we’re not promising you anything except food for thought and entertainment. Nothing on this site is medical advice. So, if you use the material on the site, you’re using it at your own risk. We assume no liability or responsibility for errors or omissions on the site.
- 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, 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. 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, we are not responsible.
- 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.
- 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. We can do anything we want with what you post. We can reproduce it, disclose it, transmit it, publish it, broadcast it, and post it someplace else. Not only that, we can even use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques you post in any way we want to, including, developing, manufacturing and marketing products or other things using the information you post.
- 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 can’t use it unless we say you can on this page or somewhere else on the site (it does not). Unauthorized use may violate all sorts of laws. Be smart, keep the things you download to yourself.
- There’s also trademarks, logos, and service marks on the site that either we own or we’re using with someone else’s permission. You don’t have any kind of license or right to use them and we will not give you permission to use them. We have the right to sue you if we find out you are using any of our trademarks or logos or anyone elses on our site.
- You may see links to other sites and that doesn’t mean we have vetted them. Go to those links at your own risk.
- We may change this page and anything else on the site at any time. If we do change the page, then you’re bound by those changes, too, whenever you visit our site.
- Any disputes will be resolved as follows:
a. If a dispute arises under this agreement, we agree to first try to resolve it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in the following location: Travis County Texas. Any costs and fees other than attorney fees associated with the mediation will be shared equally by each of us.
