| MNS WEB SITE Community Feedback for Dummies
TERMS OF USE and NOTICES
AGREEMENT BETWEEN USER AND MNS The MNS Web Site is comprised of Community Feedback for Dummies (CFfD), and operated by MNS or its affiliates (aka "The Dummies"). CFfD is offered to you conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein, hereafter, and henceforth in richer and poorer til death do us part. Your use of CFfD constitutes your agreement to all such terms, conditions, and notices, including the ones we neglected to tell you about. Your use of a particular CFfD service may also be subject to additional terms outlined who-knows-where in this agreement, and good luck to you on finding it. Additionally, these may themselves contain additional terms, codes of conduct or guidelines that establish new rules that we slipped in and hoped you didn't notice. So pay attention. In the event that any of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein conflict with the Additional Terms or other terms and guidelines contained within any particular CFfD service, then these terms shall control, unless we change our minds. We're making this up as we go along, so hang on tight. Click on the link below for the terms and conditions that govern these additional Microsoft Web Sites and/or Services: PRIVACY AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION LOL - WHAT privacy? There's none on here - get a grip. MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, AND SECURITY A .Nyet passport is required to use the MNS Site/Service and requires you to open an account. You must complete the registration process by providing us with out-dated, incomplete and inaccurate information as prompted by the applicable registration form, including your bank account balances and all your credit card numbers, your hat size, shoe size, and sexual orientation. You then will choose a user name and will be encouraged to register that nickname so we can more easily track everything you do online. If you resist registering your nickname, eventually we'll make it mandatory, so just get it over with. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account even though that is impossible because of our multiple vulnerabilities to hackers, and assorted bugs. Only you, MNS and anyone who passes by will know your password. Furthermore, we will naturally assume that you are entirely irresponsible and are liable to do just about any fool thing while logged in to your .NYET account. You agree to notify MNS immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security, but it won't surprise us if you don't since most of you are a bunch of dishonest lurkers. MNS will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone hacking your password or account, either with or without your knowledge, wehther it's our fault (which is likely) or the result of your own stupidity (also likely). However, you could be held liable for losses incurred by MNS or another party due to someone else hacking your account or password, because we will harangue the heck out of you if we think we can squeeze a few bucks out of your miserable self. You may not use anyone else's account at any time, without the permission of the account holder, unless you are a hacker, and unless you suffer from multiple personalities, in which case you can ignore this subsection. MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE MNS reserves the right to change the terms, conditions, and notices under which the MNS Sites/Services are offered, without notifying you or considering whether the changes make a lick of sense. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these terms and conditions and additional terms posted on particular websites, even though we are positive you are not literate enough to make head or tails out of any of this. Your continued use of the MNS Sites/Services constitutes your agreement to all such terms, conditions, and notices, whether you actually use them or not - as you will remain in our databases forever, and that special little spybot we buried deep in your operating system will keep tabs on you regardless. B-Wa-HaHaHaHa!!!!. PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE LIMITATION. Unless otherwise specified, the MNS Sites/Services are for your personal and non-commercial use. If anybody is going to make money off this, it will be MNS, not you. We reserve the right to do things any which way we want - like it or lump it.
LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES. The MNS Sites/Services may contain links to third party Web sites ("Linked Sites"). You are responsible for viewing and abiding by the privacy statements and terms of use posted at the Linked Sites. This includes those Sponsored Sites that we put on your What's New page without asking. If those links are to nasty websites, we'll blame you.. Any dealings with third parties (including advertisers) included within the MNS Sites/Services or participation in promotions, including the delivery of and the payment for goods and services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings or promotions, are solely between you and the advertiser or other third party. MNS shall not be responsible or liable for any part of any such dealings or promotions, if you are dumb enough to buy something from them. NO UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED USE As a condition of your use of the MNS Sites/Services, you will not use the MNS Sites/Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these terms, conditions, and notices. You may not use the MNS Sites/Services in any manner that could cause too much seriousness to any MNS Site/Service(s) (or the network(s) connected to any MNS Site/Service(s) or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of any MNS Site/Service(s), unless it's particularly funny to most of the other users. USE OF SERVICES The MNS Sites/Services may contain e-mail services, bulletin board services, chat areas, news groups, forums, communities, personal web pages, calendars, photo albums, kazoos, bull horns, women's underwear, toe jam, elbow grease and/or dachsund by-products designed to frustrate your efforts to operate a succesful group. You, on the other hand, agree to put up with all of our malarky. MNS has no obligation to monitor what goes on in our Groups. Fact is, we'll probably farm out that job to a bunch of lonely housewives in the Yukon, tapping away at their Commodore computers. MNS reserves the right to terminate your access to any or all of Group services at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever, especially if we are having a bad-hair day. MNS reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as we deem necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, whim, or loophole in the Patriot Act if we feel like it. Always use caution when giving out any personally identifiable information about yourself or your children in any Group. If you're dumb enough to use your real name, that's your loss. We will, however, do everything we can to encourage you to identify yourself by reserving a nickname, with which you'll be stuck everywhere you go. So don't try to hide, you morons. MNS specifically disclaims any liability with regard to any actions resulting from your being stupid enough to post personal info. MATERIALS PROVIDED TO MNS OR POSTED AT ANY MNS WEB SITE MNS does not claim ownership of the materials you provide to MNS (including original content and message board posts). We do, however, own your Group. So don't be surprised if we shut down the group and make all your precious content (we laugh - HAHA) go bye-bye. You snooze, you looze. TERMINATION/ACCESS RESTRICTION
MNS reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to any or all MNS Sites/Services and the related services or any portion thereof at any time, without notice. We'll come up with some lame excuse for doing it, but we will do it. It makes no difference if you're a jerk or if you're an upstanding Groops citizen. We just like to pick people off at random. NO SPAM MNS will immediately ban any bum which it believes is promoting SPAM. That stuff is made out of sliced and diced Weiner Dogs and is unfit for consumption. LANGUAGE It is the express will of the parties that this agreement and all related documents have been drawn up in English. Get a dictionary and use it. Rev. August 20, 2003 |
