Rules and Terms of Use
By registering to use the OZmium Forums the user agrees
to abide by the following Terms of Use. Please
note that the Forums are a free service extended by a
commercial entity and are not public property. The Forum
Terms of Use take precedence over freedom of expression,
in the interests of maintaining this service.
Terms
of Use
People
who register for the Forums may receive occasional promotional
material via e-mail from OZmium Pty Ltd. This will be
minimal and your e-mail address will not knowingly be
passed on to any third party under any circumstances.
When e-mails are sent to forum members using the forum
software, no representation is made that this mailing
method will be free of error or will guarantee 100% security
of each recipient's email address.
The
OZmium Forums are minimally moderated. Postings are not
checked before publication, but if any are detected that
run contrary to the Terms of Use outlined here they may
be edited or deleted. In extreme cases, where a breach
of the law may have occurred, the appropriate authorities
will be alerted.
When
registering to post on the Forums please choose an appropriate
user name. Obscene or overly suggestive names are not
permitted. Names
that double as a commercial promotion by containing the
name of a site or a hyperlink are not allowed without
prior permission of the Forum owners. The use of famous
names as pseudonyms in cases where some readers could
reasonably be expected to think that it really might be
that person are not allowed. (Example: It is okay to call
yourself Napoleon Bonaparte, but not okay to call yourself
Gai Waterhouse, unless you are in fact her!)
Opinions
and advice offered on the Forums should be treated with
due caution and the owners of this site do not accept
responsibility for any loss arising from it. Any opinions
expressed here belong to the poster and are not endorsed
by the Forum owners unless explicitly stated.
Management
reserves the right to use the Forums in any way it sees
fit, including the posting of commercial material. All
postings to the Forums and their subsequent threads become
the property of the Forum owners. Requests for the removal
of postings and their threads for reasons other than factual
error, potentially defamatory content, or occasional special
circumstances will in most cases not be granted.
The
following types of postings are not acceptable.
Potentially
defamatory or libellous. This especially relates to the
identifying of businesses, racing products, racing personalities
or other individuals in a context that could harm reputations,
even if justified.
Offensive
language or sexual content.
Personal
abuse or unpleasantness. A member who persistently alienates
other members of the Forum may be restricted or banned.
Incitement of racial hatred or other activities illegal
under Australian law.
Promotion
of other sites in a way that might be expected to result
in financial disadvantage to OZmium Pty Ltd. For advice
on what is acceptable in this regard before posting, please
contact OZmium management via the link on the right hand
menu.
Promotion
of 'get rich quick' schemes or e-mail solicitations to
join such schemes.
Unpaid
advertisements or spam.
Irrelevant
or off-topic postings such as political or religious rhetoric.
Persistent
attacks on OZmium Pty Ltd designed to cause commercial
harm.
Postings
that circumvent censored words. Users should not attempt
to bypass the forum word censor software by altering the
spelling, or any other methods. Obscene words are banned
to create a more pleasant environment for all users. If
a business name has been banned, there is a reason for
that and the Forum owner's wishes should be respected.
Postings
not covered by any of the above, but deemed clearly inappropriate
by management.
Note:
Management reserves the right to responsibly edit postings
in line with the Terms of Use outlined above, for example
to remove an obscene reference from an otherwise worthwhile
posting, without justification or entering into correspondence.
Management reserves the right to restrict or ban members
who contravene the Terms of Use, or become difficult or
vexatious, without justification or entering into correspondence.
