The Company reserves the following rights:
to release current or past Registration Data (as defined below), Post Data, or
other information pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and/or the Privacy Policy

to deny access to the Site or terminate or cancel User's accounts for anyone or
any User for any reason or no reason
The Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently,

of the Site. The User acknowledges and agrees that any termination of the Site under

and agrees that the Company may immediately delete data and files in the User's
account and bar any further access to such files or the Site.
The Company owns certain things on this system, including the 'look and feel' of
the system, the name of the system, the collective work copyright in sequences of
public messages on the system, and the business method. The User cannot reproduce
any message thread from the system, either electronically or in print, without the
Company's permission and the permission of all participants in the thread. This
is not a complete list - other things on the system are also the Company's property.
Contact the Company before copying anything from the system with plans of reproducing
it or distributing it.
The User acknowledges and agrees that content, including but not limited to text,
software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, page layout and design, or

rights and laws. The User acknowledges and agrees that the User is permitted to

its Sponsors, and may not copy, reproduce, transmit, distribute, or create derivative

11. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
A great danger for the Company, and for all operators of online networks, is that
we might be held accountable for the wrongful actions of our users. If one user
libels another user, the injured user might blame us, even though the first user
was really at fault. If a user uploads a program with a computer virus, and the
other users' computers are damaged, we might be blamed even though a user left the
virus on our Site. If a user transmits illegal or improper information to another
user, we might be blamed even though we did nothing more than unknowingly carry
the message from one user to another. Accordingly, we need all users to accept responsibility
for their own acts, and to accept that an act by another user that damages them
must not be blamed on us, but only on the other user.
Although it is the Company's goal to provide users with a reliable, quality system,
we may make mistakes or experience system failure from time to time. Such problems
are inevitable in operating any computer based website. We would not be able to
make this network available to users if we had to accept blame or financial liability
for any usability problems, system failures or errors, or mistakes or damages of
any kind. In order to continue offering and improving our service, the Company must
deny any warranties on this service and insure that our liability for any problems
connected with the use of our system is strictly limited.
These needs are accomplished by the following disclaimers:

to the action giving rise to the liability, and (b) $100.00 U.S.
13. Registration Data; Account Security

14. Miscellaneous Terms
This Agreement incorporates by reference the Privacy Policy, and any notice by the Company
contained in any of the Site's website pages and constitutes the entire understanding

by the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
If the Company fails to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement
or other incorporated agreements, that failure shall not be used to prove or be
construed that the Company has waived the right or provision. If any provision of
this Agreement or other incorporated agreements is found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, the User nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor
to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and that
the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. The User
agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause
of action arising out of or related to use of the Site or Services or the Agreement
or incorporated agreements must be filed by the User or third party within one (1)
year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section
titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual
effect.
