WARNING! The creator of this site takes no responsibility or liability for anything that happens as a result of reading or downloading anything on this page or anything contained in subsequent pages. DISCLAIMER - Neither myself or my Host/ISP is responsible for what you do on this page and the related pages. Nothing is illegal the way that it is at this very time on this very date and henceforth from this date: August 17, 2003, 10:40 pm. The WEBSCOOLLINKS web site is intended to be used for educational and entertainment purposes ONLY! Some of the links found inside may direct you to pages that contain questionable material and it is your choice what you do with such links. Your actions may cause you to break the law. If you do decide to download anything off one of the linked pages, make sure that you are the sole owner of a proper license of that software and or you have the expressed written consent of the producer / software company and any related copyright holders. ENDORSEMENT: Reference herein to any specific commercial products, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not necessarily constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by WEBSCOOLLINKS, it's creator or contributors. The views and opinions of authors expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect those of WEBSCOOLLINKS and shall not be used for advertising or product endorsement purposes. (OK - now we're going to break it down a bit...) LIABILITY: With respect to documents available from this server, neither WEBSCOOLLINKS nor its creator, makes any warranty, express or implied, including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, or assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, apparatus, product, or process disclosed, or represents that it's use would not infringe privately owned rights. NOTICE: For controversial reasons, if you are affiliated with any government ANTI-Piracy group or any other related group, or were formally a worker of one you CANNOT enter this web site, cannot access any of its files and you cannot view any of the HTML files. If you enter this site you are not agreeing to these terms and you are violating code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton in 1995 and that means that you CANNOT threaten our ISP(s) or any person(s ) or company storing these files, and cannot prosecute any person(s) affiliated with this page which includes family, friends or individuals who run or enter this web site. By continuing to enter this site, you are expressly and impliedly agreeing to all terms as stated above, and affirm that you are in compliance with all federal, state and local laws concerning the content of this site. EMAIL AGREEMENT: We use various systems to limit outgoing email so that WEBSCOOLLINKS does *not* contribute to any email problem real or imagined. WEBSCOOLLINKS sends email occasionally and randomly to previous visitors regarding new links or updates. We will never again email you for any reason if you would then be so kind as to merely reply to us at webscoollinks@yahoo.com, and ask us to remove your name from our visitor list. We will keep that notation in our database and will never email that address again. We do not use "bots" or other systems with the exception of one generated email to thank our visitors for signing our guestbook. All other email s sent to any visitor, affilaite, or perspective link or assosciate, are written and sent by hand. By browsing WEBSCOOLLINKS pages past any subdirectory (which includes entering the site to collect information), you agree to use the above methods to resolve any email problems between you and WEBSCOO LINKS. You agree that the measures we have taken to prevent you from being damaged are sufficient and that it is more costly to engage in litigation than to simply take the time to resolve your issue now. Therefore, you agree not to take legal action against WEBSCOOLLINKS or it's webmaster or any of it's members, heirs, assigns or owners. If you choose to take legal action, you agree to pay the defendants the amount that was awarded to you as well as lawyer fees, travel, lodging and food costs as well as compensation of time spent based on a log that will be kept by the defendant and rated at $50 per hour. You also agree that we do not have to block an entire domain. Further, you agree not to retaliate for being held to this agreement. The above measures and agreement have been taken to prevent confrontation between WEBSCOOLLINKS and individuals who get very upset over an email or a link or comment within WEBSCOOLLINKS that a visitor did not like. Compliance with this agreement will prevent us from setting out to harm you in every way we can think of. JUST KIDDING!!! WE'RE JUST NOT LIKE THAT - WE'RE CHRISTIANS AND JUST REALLY WANTED TO SEE IF YOU WERE PAYING ATTENTION. NOW THAT (WE HOPE) WE'VE COVERED EVERYTHING.... 2003 WEBS COOL LINKS all rights reserved. IF YOU JUST READ THIS ENTIRE PRIVACY AND LEGAL AGREEMENT - WE MEAN THE WHOLE ENTIRE THING..... THANK YOU. It took us a very long time to compile it and we appreciate you taking the time to read it.
