General
This Web site contains proprietary notices and copyright information, the terms of which must be observed and followed.
The Company grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited permission to access and display the Web pages within this site as a user, customer or potential customer of the Services provided you comply with these Terms of Service, and all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices remain intact. You may only use a crawler to crawl this Web site as permitted by this Web site’s robots.txt protocol, and the Company may block any crawlers in its sole discretion. The use authorized under this agreement is non-commercial in nature (e.g., you may not sell the content you access on or through this Web site.) All other use of this site is prohibited.
The Company also grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-exclusive, revocable, and non-sub-licensable license to access and use the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of letting you use and enjoy the Service’s benefits in a way that these Terms allow.
Any software that we provide you may automatically download and install upgrades, updates, or other new features. You may be able to adjust these automatic downloads through your device’s settings.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Services, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless applicable laws prohibit these restrictions or you have our written permission to do so.
Except for the limited permission in the preceding paragraphs, the Company does not grant you any express or implied rights or licenses under any patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other proprietary or intellectual property rights. You may not mirror any of the content from this site on another Website or in any other media. Any software and other materials that are made available for downloading, access, or other use from this site with their own license terms will be governed by such terms, conditions, and notices.

Disclaimer
From time to time, this Website may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors, and we do not warrant the accuracy of any posted information. Please confirm you are using the most up-to-date pages on this Web site, and confirm the accuracy and completeness of information before using it to make decisions relating to services, products, or other matters described in this Web site.
If any term in this Terms of Service is found by competent judicial authority to be unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remainder of this Terms of Service will be unaffected, provided that such unenforceability does not materially affect the parties’ rights under this Terms of Service.
The Content of Others
Much of the content (“content”) on our Services is produced by users and other third parties (“third party content”) and may contain content or materials (“materials”) from publishers or other Users. Whether that content is posted publicly or sent privately, the content is the sole responsibility of the person or organization that submitted it. Although WMF reserves the right to review all content that appears on the Services and to remove any content that violates these Terms, we do not necessarily review all of it. So we cannot—and do not—take responsibility for any content that others provide through the Services.
Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by Users and third parties, including information providers or any other users of the Website, are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of WMF.
You are responsible for your use of the website and Services and for any Content you provide, including compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. As such, you should only provide Content that you are comfortable sharing with others.
Any use or reliance on any Content or materials posted via the website or Services or obtained by you through the website or Services is at your own risk. We do not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any Content or communications posted via the website or Services or endorse any opinions expressed via the website or Services. You understand that by using the website or Services, you may be exposed to Content that might be offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate, or in some cases, postings that have been mislabeled or are otherwise deceptive. All Content is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such Content. We may not monitor or control the Content posted via the website or Services and, we cannot take responsibility for such Content.
We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law and are properly provided to us, as described in our Copyright policy.
Through these Terms, we make clear that we do not want the Services put to bad uses. But because we do not review all content, we cannot guarantee that content on the Services will always conform to our Terms.
You may be able to post User Content. You must not post any User Content that is threatening, abusive, unlawful, misleading, fraudulent, discriminatory, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that contains ethnic, sexual, racial or other discriminating slurs. You must also not post any User Content that contains proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential information, solicitations, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, investment opportunities, or other unsolicited commercial communication (except as otherwise expressly permitted by us in writing), or encourages or causes spamming or flooding.
You are prohibited from posting any User Content containing state, government or federal identification information or numbers (whether your own or of another person), such as national identification number, social security number, passport number, insurance number, driver’s license number, immigration number, or any other similar number, code, or identifier. Posting such identification information could possibly cause identity theft. The Company may remove any such identification information, but we are under no obligation to do so and have no responsibility and disclaim all liability or damages for any user posting of such identification information.
The Company reserves the right to disclose all User Content and other relevant or related information, and the circumstances surrounding their transmission, to any third party in connection with operating the Site; to protect itself, its affiliates, its partners and its users or visitors; and to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests. What this means is that we may honor law enforcement or court-mandated requests such as subpoenas or search warrants to reveal a user’s electronic address and identity, or other properly requested information.
Although we have no obligation to do so, we may monitor User Content, and reserve the right to
delete any User Content or portion thereof that, that in the Company’s sole discretion, violates the above rules, including any User Content that is unrelated to the specific area of the Site on which it is posted, or that is an advertisement, or other commercial message, or that the Company determines in its sole discretion to be inappropriate. If you believe that any User Content violates this Agreement or our policies, we encourage you to report the content or conduct to us so that we may have the opportunity to consider whether to remove the content or not. Just so there is no ambiguity in these terms and conditions, the Company does not have any obligation to remove any User Content, and whether User Content is deemed to be inappropriate or violates any Company policy will always remain within the sole discretion of the Company.
Please take note of the following: Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act provides that:
(1) Treatment of publisher or speaker
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or
speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
(2) Civil liability No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of-
(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of
material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious,
filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or
not such material is constitutionally protected; or
(B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others
the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).
