WEB
SITE TERMS OF USE
Wow!
You actually came to this page. 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 uncool
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 [read: stuck with] the terms and conditions
listed below and any other law or regulation
that applies to the site, the Internet, the
World Wide Web, or Los Angeles, CA. 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 Ten 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 [read: stuck with] 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):
This
Agreement is governed by the laws of the State
of California, without regard to principles
of conflict of laws.
To
the extent you have in any manner violated
or threatened to violate MillionDollarTips.com
and/or its affiliates' intellectual property
rights, MillionDollarTips.com and/or
its affiliates may seek injunctive
or other appropriate relief in any state or
federal court in the State of
California, 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 in the following
location: Orange County, California. 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
at the following location: Orange County, California,
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.
If
this all sounds kind of mean and undiplomatic,
you should have seen what the lawyers gave to
us in the first place. We had to remind them
that human torture and sacrifice was outlawed
in the United States. Boy, did they look disappointed!
