When
using Forsyth-Online's services, you agree to the terms and
conditions listed on this page (the "Terms of Service"),
which may be updated by us from time to time. The Terms of Service
apply to Forsyth-Online, its parent and subsidiary sites, third-level
domains, parked domains, partnerships and affiliates, owner,
and individuals employed or contracted by Forsyth-Online or
its owner except where otherwise noted.
Forsyth-Online may provide search technology that links to other
Web sites or static or database-generated links to other Web
sites and information located worldwide throughout the Internet.
Because we have no control over such sites and information,
we make no guarantee as to such sites and information, including
the accuracy, currency, content or quality of any such sites
and information and we assume no responsibility as to whether
the search locates unintended or objectionable content. Furthermore,
because some content on the Internet consists of material that
is adult-oriented or otherwise objectionable to some people,
the results of links on our sites may automatically and unintentionally
generate links or references to objectionable material. We make
no claim that such surprises might not occur.
Under Forsyth-Online's privacy policy, we may disclose to third
parties certain aggregate information contained in our users'
registration applications, but we will not disclose your name,
address, email address or telephone number without your prior
written consent, except as required by law.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your
account number, user name and/or password. You are responsible
for all uses of your account, whether or not actually or expressly
authorized by you. You must be 18 years of age or older to open
or maintain an account, free or otherwise, with Forsyth-Online
or to access any part of the site which requires an account
or registration of any kind or to enter any personal information
into any form or to create or maintain any personalized settings
that may be available on Forsyth-Online.
In order to ensure that Forsyth-Online is able to provide high
quality services that are responsive to customer needs, you
must consent to Forsyth-Online employees being able to access
your account and records on a case-by-case basis to investigate
complaints or other allegations or abuse. Forsyth-Online shall
not disclose the existence or occurrence of such an investigation
unless required by law. Violation of terms of service may result
in immediate deletion of a users account.
All chat and bulletin board communications are public and not
private communications. Although we reserve the right to remove
without notice any bulletin board posting for any reason, we
have no obligation to delete content that you may find objectionable
or offensive.
All chat, bulletin board, email, or other communications with
Forsyth-Online become the property of Forsyth-Online for nonexclusive
use without restrictions unless said communications are directed
at Forsyth-Online in private email format for the sole purpose
of conducting business with Forsyth-Online to the extent that
Forsyth-Online is a service provider.
Forsyth-Online may provide links to merchant's websites to assist
User's shopping online. Merchants are obligated to provide accurate
and current information to Forsyth-Online at all times, however
in certain circumstances it is possible that a merchant may
update it's website information before it provides updated information
to Forsyth-Online. By using this service you agree to be aware
of this risk. Forsyth-Online is not involved in any transaction
between any user of our service and any merchant who you might
find while using our service; for this reason any question you
might have with the merchant must be taken directly to the merchant.
We may modify or discontinue our services or your account with
us, with or without notice, without liability to you, any other
user or any third party. We reserve the right to terminate your
account if we learn that you have provided us with false or
misleading registration information, interfered with other users
or the administration of Forsyth-Online's services, or violated
these Terms of Service. We may block your access to Forsyth-Online
with no prior notice and by using any means at our disposal.
In addition, some areas of Forsyth-Online may be made inaccessible
to you based on criteria not specific to your account, including
your browser type, operating system type, or other general criteria.
You understand and agree that Forsyth-Online's services are
provided "AS-IS". Forsyth-Online assumes no responsibility
for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store
any user communications or personalization settings.
FORUMS AND PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
"Forum" means a chat area, message board, instant
messaging, mobile messaging or e-mail function (including, but
not limited to, electronic greeting cards) offered as part of
Forsyth-Online. If you participate in Forsyth-Online’s
forum, you agree to follow our terms set forth below.
You acknowledge that anything you submit to is routed through
Forsyth-Online servers and the Internet and that, therefore,
you have no expectation of privacy with regard to any such submission.
You acknowledge that the Forums and features on Forsyth-Online
are forums for public and not private communications. Please
keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information
online, for example, via message boards or chat, that information
can be collected and used by people you don't know. We cannot
guarantee the security of any information you disclose online;
you make such disclosures at your own risk.
Users or visitors shall remain solely responsible for the contents
of the messages they communicate when using our services and
as well as the consequences of any such messages. You take responsibility
for postings under your username and use the information provided
in the Forums at your own risk. We reserve the right to remove
or edit content from any Forum at any time and for any reason
although we have no duty to do so.
You agree that you will not use our services for chain letters,
junk mail, "spamming" or commercial solicitations
or to engage in illegal activities. You further agree not to
use our services to send any message or material that is unlawful,
gives rise to civil liability or otherwise violates the community
standards described on our sites.
When participating in a Forum, never assume that people are
who they say they are, know what they say they know, or are
affiliated with whom they say they are affiliated with in any
chat room, message board, or other user-generated content area.
Information obtained in a Forum may not be reliable, and it
is not a good idea to take any action, including to trade or
make any investment decisions, based solely or largely on information
you cannot confirm. We cannot be responsible for the content
or accuracy of any information, and shall not be responsible
for any trading, investment, or any other decisions made based
on such information.
HOUSE RULES
The following is a list of the House Rules of conduct for Forsyth-Online
forums. You agree not to do any of the following:
1. Post, distribute, or otherwise make available or transmit
any data, text, message, or computer file that we deem
to be: (a) defamatory, abusive, harassing, insulting,
threatening, or that could be deemed to be stalking; (b)
bigoted, hateful, or racially offensive; (c) vulgar, obscene,
or sexually explicit (language or images); or that (d)
encourages or advocates illegal activity or the discussion
of illegal activities with the intent to commit them;
2. Post, distribute, or otherwise make available or transmit
any data, text, message, computer file, or other material
that infringes and/or violates any right of a third party
or any domestic or international law, rule, or regulation,
including but not limited to: (a) copyright, patent, trademark,
or other proprietary rights; (b) right of privacy (specifically,
you must not distribute another person's personal information
of any kind without their express permission) or publicity;
(c) any confidentiality obligation;
3. Advertise or sell any products, services or otherwise
(whether or not for profit), or solicit others or use
any Forum for commercial purposes of any kind,
4. Post, distribute, or otherwise make available or transmit
any software or other computer files that contain a virus
or other harmful component;
5. Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your
identity or affiliation with any person or entity;
6. Engage in antisocial, disruptive, or destructive acts,
including "flaming," "spamming," "flooding,"
"trolling," and "griefing" as those
terms are commonly understood and used on the Internet;
7. Delete any legal notices, disclaimers, or proprietary
notices such as copyright or trademark symbols, or modify
any logos that you do not own or have express permission
to modify;
8. Post, distribute, or otherwise make available or transmit
material or make statements that do not generally pertain
to the designated topic or theme of any Forum.
9.
Avoid Duplicate Posts - Do
not post similar or same messages more than once on a
message board or on multiple boards . Duplicate messages
may be deemed to be advertising. They also can be frustrating
for other visitors, especially those whose time and energy
are valuable.
The
boards are not for free advertising:
Paying advertisers support your FREE access to the forum. Posts,
usernames or signatures that are deemed to promote or advertise
services or products, or offer or ask for any kind of off-board
contact information, whether or not you personally benefit are
not allowed.
Frequent
and persistent spamming ruin the feel of the boards. The main
way this is avoided is to not allow off-board contacts. If you
don't want to comply, please stop using the boards, immediately.
We
reserve the right to remove any material, and if we deem appropriate,
to turn over to law enforcement officials, any material, including
message, e-mail, or posting, that is in violation of these House
Rules. We also reserve the right to remove messages, e-mails,
or postings that do not pertain to the designated topic or theme
of the Forum.
We also reserve the right to comply with any order or otherwise
cooperate with law enforcement officials regarding the identification
of any user alleged to be using Forsyth-Online in violation
of the law.
