For the purposes of this Agreement, if the user is not an individual, then "you" will include the user's company, its officers, employees, members, agents, successors and assigns. This Agreement also incorporates by reference the terms of Westlinks Online's Privacy Policy. BY PRESSING THE "I ACCEPT" BUTTON OR ACCESSING THE SITE, YOU ACCEPT, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION, ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT. We reserve the right, in our discretion, to change or modify this Agreement from time to time and at any time, and without actual notice to you. All such changes to this Agreement will be effective immediately upon posting by Westlinks Online to the Site. Your use of our Site will constitute your binding acceptance of this Agreement, including any changes or modifications made by us, whether or not you have reviewed. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY POSTED GUIDELINES OR RULES, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SITE.
IF AT ANY TIME THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CEASE ALL USE OF THE SITE.
You acknowledge that the Site contains information, text, code and software, photographs, audio and video clips, graphics, scripts, links, interactive features and other material (collectively, the "Content") that are protected by our copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights of Westlinks Online or third parties. Westlinks Online, LLC is a registered trademark, tradename, service mark, or otherwise protected property of Westlinks Online and may not be used, copied or imitated without our prior written consent. You agree to comply with any copyright notices, information, or restrictions contained in any Content available on or accessed through the Site.
Content on the Site is provided to you "AS IS". You may download or copy any Content owned by us for your own personal, noncommercial use, provided that you maintain all copyright and other notices contained on such Content. If you have any question as to whether we own certain Content contained on our Site, do not download or copy it without first contacting us (e.g., Content that appears to have been uploaded by a third party should not be copied or downloaded by you). You may not copy, use, download, modify, publish, transmit, transfer or sell, license, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit any of the Content, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the owner thereof, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or under applicable law. Content consisting of downloadable software may not be reverse engineered unless specifically authorized by the owner of the software's patent and/or copyright.
The Site may contain links to websites that are unrelated to us and are owned and operated by third parties (the "third-party sites"). These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and do not constitute an endorsement by Westlinks Online or imply that Westlinks Online sponsors, is affiliated or associated with or otherwise recommends, certifies or endorses the third-party sites. We are not responsible for the contents of, or any products or services offered on, any third-party sites.
Statements, messages, text, files, images, photos, videos, or other materials ("Materials") posted by visitors to the Site, whether on profiles, message boards, blogs or in other formats, are the sole responsibility of the visitor who posted such Materials and reflect the opinions of the visitor who has posted them and not of Westlinks Online. Although we discourage the use of any Site functionality, including profiles, message boards and blogs, for anything other than lawful and constructive discourse, we cannot effectively monitor all Materials posted by visitors on our Site and, therefore, make no representation and warranty with respect to the veracity, reliability or completeness of any such Materials. Accordingly, your reliance on any such Materials shall be at your own risk
Without limiting anything set out above, Westlinks Online assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Site for inappropriate Materials or conduct. If, at any time, we choose, in our sole discretion, to monitor the Site, we nonetheless assume no responsibility for the Materials, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Materials and no responsibility for the conduct of the visitor submitting any such Materials; however, Westlinks Online does reserve the right to remove any Materials that it determines, in its sole discretion, violates this Agreement or is otherwise unacceptable or inappropriate. The visitor shall remain responsible for any and all Materials he or she posts.
As a general rule, as set out in our Site's Privacy Policy, no personally identifiable information is automatically collected from users of our Site. If Westlinks Online does decide to change its policies, it will post such changes in accordance with this Agreement and/or its Privacy Policy. Please keep in mind, however, that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example, on your personal profile, message boards, through e-mail, or in blogs - that information can be collected and used by others, as set forth in the privacy policy. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to other members, we cannot control the other members' use of that information.
Each visitor to the Site is solely responsible for his or her interactions with other visitors. Westlinks Online reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between visitors.
Westlinks Online specifically prohibits, and by your use of the Site, you expressly agree not to engage in, the following conduct: the deletion or alteration of any Materials posted on our Site by Westlinks Online or a third party; the taking of any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our Site infrastructure; using the Site directory information to post or transmit any unsolicited advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, telephone calls or other solicitations; and printing or otherwise copying or using any personally identifiable information about Site visitors or members for purposes other than contacting such visitors or members for industry-related inquiries.
Westlinks Online respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. Westlinks Online may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, disable and/or terminate accounts of users who may be infringing the intellectual property rights of others; however, Westlinks Online has no responsibility for content on other websites that you may find or access when using Westlinks Online's products or services. Material available on or through other websites may be protected by copyright and the intellectual property laws of the United States and/or other countries. The terms of use of those web sites, and not the terms and conditions of this Agreement, govern your use of that material.
It is Westlinks Online's policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who may infringe or repeatedly infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Westlinks Online and/or others.
