So you're at this at this page. We're impressed. This
is stuff our lawyer said we should put on it because
there are bad people out there. It's basically stuff
we have to put on the site because there are people
out there that will misuse our stuff, steal it or get
mad at us for some reason.
Instead of the legalese that the lawyer wrote that
sounds like bla bla bla to most people, we took it and
translated it into readable English.
Here's the deal:
We run this site so that people like you can use it
for information, education and communication. Feel free
to browse around all you like. You can even download
stuff from the site, but only for non-commercial, personal
use. If you do, don’t fool around with any of
the copyright and other notices all over the site. That
includes using text, images, music and video for public
or commercial purpose unless we give you written permission.
The laws of the State of Missouri govern any claim
relating to the use of this site and the materials contained
herein. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the state and federal courts located in St. Louis, Missouri.
If you visit our site, you're legally obligated to
the terms and conditions listed below and any other
law or regulation that applies to the site, the Internet,
or the World Wide Web. 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.
So here's our rules for Web visitors who visit our
site:
1. Please assume that everything on the site is copyrighted
unless we say it's not. That means 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.
2. While we try our best to make sure that everything
on this site is accurate, we're not promising you it's
accurate. So if you use stuff on the site, you're using
it at your own risk. 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
may suffer when you use it. In particular, our lawyer
insists that we tell you 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, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMISSABLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, We do
not warrant that the functions contained in the materials
will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will
be corrected, or that this site or the server that makes
it available are free of viruses or other harmful components.
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." That’s a lot of legalese
talk and we promised to make it simple but sometimes
there are no other ways to say things. Basically, we’re
not responsible if you’re using the site and the
site damages you or your computer or infects it with
any nasty viruses. We don’t have anything harmful
on the site and don’t expect anything to happen
but if something does happen, we are not responsible.
4. All of the pictures of people, animals, things and
places shown on the site are either our property or
someone else's property we're using with their permission.
That means no matter what, it's definitely not your
property. So, you or any of your net-friends can't use
it unless we say you can on this page or somewhere else
on the site. Unauthorized use may violate all sorts
of laws. Anything you download from this site should
be kept to yourself!
5. Our site may be inked to lots of other sites. That’s
kind of obvious when you go to the page entitled “Links”
(when we add it). We put these links on the site to
be helpful and to provide additional information for
you. But 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 own risk.
6. This is our site and we can 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.
Some of these rules may sound mean, but you should
have seen the stuff our lawyer wanted to put on it.
