As much as I dislike writing this section, my sensible side tells me that it is necessary. Hopefully nothing written here will ever need to be put into effect.
Regarding Content
All content, unless otherwise stated, is copyrighted and may not be reproduced, republished, broadcast, or transmitted without permission. A ‘fair use’ policy is in use, and you may reproduce content provided it is a ‘fair use’ and appropriate. For example, quoting content is perfectly acceptable. Copying content verbatim is not. Copyright of the material is retained in all instances.
Regarding Contributed Content
Content and opinions, unless otherwise excluded below, are owned by the respective author and are not necessarily those of the website owner. In contributing to this site you agree to:
- Be civil
- Not submit disruptive, offensive, or abusive content
- Not submit anything illegal
- Not submit any spam or advertising
- Not impersonate anyone else
If you submit a bug report, feature suggestion, correction, or any other form of errata, addendum, or improvement, then your contribution will be owned by Urban Giraffe and it may use, reproduce, sub-license, and create derivative works based upon it. If you find this term oppressive or in anyway offensive then I’m sorry, but I’m just looking out for myself and do not want to be accused of any wrong-doing caused by a misinterpretation. If you do want to submit something for which you neither own the copyright, nor want to release the copyright, then contact me privately to discuss it, along with a statement of the conditions under which it is to be discussed. Again, I am not trying to be heavy-handed and look forward to a bright and happy world where everyone can share and prosper.
Regarding Privacy
All personal information submitted to this site will be kept under strict confidence and will not be distributed to anyone else. Ever. It may be used to contact you regarding any question you may have posed, but will never be used to send you unsolicited information (unless you otherwise previously agree).
No guarantee is made towards the security of such information and we cannot be held responsible for loss of data or privacy due to means outside our control.
Regarding Software
Software is provided “as is” and any express or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed. In no event shall the copyright owner or contributors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of use, data, or profits; or business interruption) however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising in any way out of the use of the software, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.
Unless otherwise stated, software available from this website is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 3.0 License. An individual piece of software may have a license that supersedes this and, if in doubt, you should always check with the author.
Some software may include 3rd party software and the copyright and license will remain with the original owners and will be dictated by the conditions of the software in question.
Special exclusions to these conditions may be made under agreement from the owner.
In Closing
I reserve the right to amend these terms & conditions at any time and without notice. There is no need to be afraid, and I won’t try and steal your children.
