FORUMS AND PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
"Forum" means a chat area, message board, or e-mail

an ACFL.NET Site, you must not:
ˇ defame, abuse,
harass or threaten others;

It is our policy to respect the privacy of all customers. Therefore, in
addition to the privacy of Registration data, we will not monitor, edit, or disclose the
contents of a customer's e-mail unless (a) you authorize us to do so, (b) we must do so in
order to resolve technical problems on any ACFL.NET Site; or (c) unless required to do
so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with
the law or comply with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or
property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect the safety of our customers or the public.
Customers shall remain solely responsible for the content of their messages.
We reserve the right to remove or edit content from any Forum at any time and for any
reason.
By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us, you automatically
grant (or warrant that the owner of such materials expressly granted) us a perpetual,
royalty-free, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify,
adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and display, create derivative works from and
distribute such materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or
technology now known or later developed throughout the universe. In addition, you warrant
that all so-called "moral rights" in those materials have been waived.
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 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 or investment decisions made based on such information.
CONTENT LINKED TO ANY ACFL.NET SITE
Please exercise discretion while browsing the Internet using any
ACFL.NET Site. You should be aware that when you are on an ACFL.NET Site, you could
be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites
from ACFL, INC. pages that take you outside of our service. For example, if you click
on a banner advertisement or a search result, the click may take you off the ACFL.NET
Site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors, and content partners that may use
our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own
cookies to users, collect data, solicit personal information, or contain information that
you may find inappropriate or offensive. In addition, advertisers on ACFL.NET Sites may
send cookies to users that we do not control.
We reserve the right to disable links from third-party sites to any ACFL.NET Site.
We make no representations concerning the content of sites listed in any of our
directories. Consequently, we cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, relevancy,
copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in sites listed in our
search results or otherwise linked to an ACFL.NET Site.
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. While ACFL, INC. strives to protect your personal information
and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online; you
make such disclosures at your own risk.
