Disclaimer

The short hand version for speed readers:

	Images and content of this site is either copyright me, copyright the poster, or copyright somebody else. It is not copyright you, so leave the content here. Linking straight to a particular article (by article number generated in the URL ) and quoting short parts of it as reference is the way to it, and mighty more appreciated. :-)
	Hot linking - that is showing images on your site that actually reside at my site (by linking to the image path on this server) is not only a nasty copyright infringement as you are stealing my content - you are also stealing my money by upping my bandwidth bill. This is actually illegal. Just don't do it, show some common courtesy and common sense.
	Deep linking - that's when you link straight to a particular article rather than the top page Is A-Ok! It's great in fact. Go ahead, link yourselves silly to anything you find interesting.
	Email harvesting - is useless around here for the simple reason that you'll find hundreds of bogus emails so don't bother. Go away spammers. This is the same reason I don't sell or give out, and take precautions that emails (real and functioning ones) from this sites members can not be stolen from the database.

I run these sites (hasenfang.com and dealbafamily.com) so that people like you (and people you like) can use it for personal entertainment, information, education, communication, and a fun waste of office hours. So go ahead and browse around all you like. If you know how, you can even download stuff from the site but only for non-commercial, personal use. If you do, though, don't fool around with the copyright and other notices all over the stuff. They're there for a really good reason. And don't even think about distributing, modifying, transmitting, reusing, re-posting, or anything else uncool with any of the stuff, including the text, images, audio, and video, for public or commercial purposes unless I give you, or more importantly, the owner of that copyright/trademark/brand/written work gives you written permission.

If you visit my site hasenfang.com or dealbafamily.com which includes the all this stuff you're also legally obligated to the terms and conditions listed below and any other law or regulation that applies to the site, the Internet, the World Wide Web. You shouldn't access or browse the site if you have any problem with that, because once you start, there's no turning back -- you are bound by the terms and conditions.

For everyone's sake, just assume that everything on the site is copyrighted unless I say it's not. So you can't use the stuff except how I say you can on this page or anywhere else on the site without my written permission. You cannot repost, redistribute, mirror, or any other nasty things with the images and articles of this site. The text and rants belong to me, the comments and articles to their posters, the images of the ads belong to the advertisers and the text from books belong to their publishers and authors. It's not likely that I or the owners of their respective copyrights will give you permission anyway. In fact, even if I wanted to, those dang lawyers are likely to veto any deal anyway. So it's better you don't even ask.

Reading bits of my HTML code however, doesn't bug me at all. Go ahead if you want to. I can't really stop you and can't be bothered trying, besides reading source can be fun. If you steal the contents of these sites however, I'll turn nasty. Content includes everything written by me, and guest speakers members, on these sites.

While I try to include accurate stuff on the site, I'm not promising you it's accurate. In fact, I'm not promising you anything except fun and entertainment. So if you use stuff on the site, you're doing it at your own risk. Don't call me if there's a problem because I assume no liability or responsibility for errors or omissions on the site.

If you don't want the world to know something, don't post in on the site in any bulletin board or anyplace else. That's because anything you disclose to me is mine. That's right -- mine. So I can do anything I want with the stuff you post. I can reproduce it, disclose it, transmit it, publish it, broadcast it, and post it someplace else. I can even send it to your mother (as soon as I find her address). Not only that, I can even use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques you post anyway I want to, including, developing, manufacturing and marketing products or other stuff using the information you post. Not that I would care to, but I could, ok?

You'll probably notice I've linked my site to lots of others. While that's cool, it doesn't mean I've looked that close at all those sites, much less checked them out periodically to see what's going on. So don't blame me if some site you link to is bad or has stuff on it that offends you or your pets. Go ahead and surf the links, but remember, it at your own risk.. Mmmm'K?.

That brings me to what you do on my own site. While I occasionally look at the posting in my discussion groups or in my Forum, I take no responsibility and assume no liability for the content of those locations or for any mistakes, defamation, libel, slander, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography, or profanity you might encounter when you visit such places on my site. And don't be stupid by posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, nasty, mean, or profane material or any material that law enforcement types my consider a criminal offense, or for that matter violate any law -- anywhere, anytime. While I certainly respect your privacy and right to free speech, I have no choice but to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court which might ask me who might have posted nasty stuff on my site.

I'm also allowed to change this page and anything else on the site any time I want to. That's because it's mine and I have means to do so. If I do change the page, then you're bound by those changes, too, whenever you visit my site. Tough.

Pictures of people or places shown on the site are either my property or someone else's property. No matter what, it's definitely not your property. You or any of your net-friends can't use it unless I said you can on this page or somewhere else on the site. And guess what -- I won't say yes. So be careful, kid, because unauthorized use may violate all sorts of nasty laws. Be smart, keep the stuff you download to yourself.

There's also a lot of trademarks, logos, and service marks on the site that either I own or I'm using with someone else's permission. So don't think you have any kind of license or right to use them, because you don't and I'm not about to give you one. If you don't leave them alone and mess with my trademarks, logos and service marks on my site, I'll probably get real nasty; so will the companies that own the other trademarks, logos and service marks. That means that I'm likely to sue you or to ask a prosecutor to come after you for messing around with my property or the property of others.

I and anybody else who helped me create, produce, or deliver the site are not liable for any damages you suffer when you use it. In particular, my lawyers want you to know that my disclaimer includes "direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, or punitive damages arising out of your access to, or use of, the site. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the site is provided to you 'AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON INFRINGEMENT.
Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Check your local laws for any restrictions or limitations regarding the exclusion of implied warranties. " Alright, so that was unreadable legal bull, but here's the bottom line -- I'm not responsible if you're browsing around and the site damages you or your computer or infects it with any nasty viruses. I seriously doubt that can happen, but if it does, don't call me.

Under no circumstances can or will I copy the material of this site and send off on CD, or on VHS or make available for specific (personal) downloads. The copyright laws that are protecting this site from getting it's ass sued, do not allow me to re-sell, redistribute or repost anything else here myself, so don't ask.

Under no circumstances will I reveal who is behind a username/members name of this site that posts articles on the first page (that is, the news section) as the "informant" on the article is equal to a journalists source.

I Can't believe you've read this far. Did you have fun?
