Acceptance of Terms
By using the Service in any way, you are agreeing to comply with these Terms.
Back to top Content
You are entirely responsible for all Content that you post, email or otherwise make available via the Service.
You understand that brindleweb does not control, and is not responsible for Content made available through the
Service, and that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with,
the use of any Content, that you may not rely on said Content, and that under no circumstances will brindleweb
be liable in any way for any Content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any
Content posted, emailed or otherwise made available via the Service.
You acknowledge that brindleweb does not pre-screen or approve Content, but that brindleweb shall have the
right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse, delete or move any Content that is available via the
Service, for violating the letter or spirit of the Terms or for any other reason.
You acknowledge and agree that brindleweb may, in its sole discretion, preserve or disclose Content, as well
as email addresses, IP addresses, timestamps, and other user information, if required to do so by law or in the
good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: comply with legal process;
enforce the Terms; respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; or protect the rights,
property, or personal safety of brindleweb, its users or the general public.
Back to top Conduct Back to top Limitations on Service

(or any part thereof) with or without notice, and that brindleweb shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification,
suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
You agree that brindleweb, in its sole discretion, may delete your profile, block your email or IP address, or otherwise
terminate your access to or use of the Service (or any part thereof), immediately and without notice, and remove
and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, if brindleweb believes that you have
acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the Terms. Further, you agree that brindleweb shall not be liable to you or any
third-party for any termination of your access to the Service. Further, you agree not to attempt to use the Service after said
termination.
Back to top Disclaimer of Warranties Back to top Abuse
brindleweb reserves the right to take any actions necessary to rectify abuse and prevent it from reoccuring,
such as removing Content, banning IP addresses, or using IP addresses to track down and report
to ISPs.
Although as stated above, brindleweb reserves the right to take any necessary action, the current Abuse
Action Plan is posted at http://brindleweb.com/bbs/actionplan.html
for review by posters and to help resolve any controversy
encountered in the implementation of this Action Plan.
Back to top Privacy
The IP address and e-mail address (if provided) are not visible to other users of the board. They are, however,
visible to the moderator. Therefore no poster should assume they are anonymous even if they do not provide
any identifying information. The IP address collected may be used by brindleweb to track down perpetrators in
cases where these Terms are violated.
"Cookies" are used by the board to identify repeat visitors. They are stored on your own computer (not
on brindleweb's) and are not used to collect information, track online activity, or any other privacy violating
purpose.
brindleweb will not disclose the information collected about posters under normal circumstances. They would
certainly never be sold to other parties or anything like that! The only exceptions would be legal or abuse-
related cases as described in the section on Content.
