The community forum (the "Forum") of the Web allows you to post messages on the Forum and send messages via the Forum's messaging system. All those messages are considered public and thereafter subject to the Rules of the Forum, set forth below governing the participation in the Forum.


Rules of the Forum

By participating in the Forum, including the posting of content and sending of messages, you agree to:


Be Responsible

We generally do not pre-screen, verify or edit the content posted on or sent from the From by individuals. However, we reserve the right to take any appropriate remedial actions in response to any violation of the Rules of Form and the Terms of Use of the Web. Such actions may include, but not limited to, warning users of violations, suspending violator's access privileges, deleting or editing, without notice, any content that is not consistent with the proper uses set above by the Terms of Use. If it is deemed necessary to purify the Forum from such violating contents and maintain the consistence in terms of the context, the entire thread, including the original post and all replies, may have to be deleted altogether. In that sense, as an user of the Forum, you remains solely responsible for the content of your messages and storage of your messages as well.

We also reserve the right to release information concerning your use of the Forum (including posted content, registration information, and network records) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you, or other events when we believes such release is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant or court order).

For this reason, we do not (1) guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, reliability, completeness, usefulness, non-infringement of intellectual property rights, or correct sequencing of any content on the Forum, regardless of who originates that content, or (2) warrant any results from use of the Forum or the content on the Forum. You expressly understand and agree that you bear all risks associated with using or relying on that content. We will not be liable or responsible in any way for any content posted on, linked from, or sent from the Forum, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in content, or for any losses or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of or reliance on any content.

We do not control, and are not responsible for this third-party content. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE FORUM COMMUNITY, THE MANAGING OPERATORS, ADMINISTRATORS, MODERATORS, RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND SOFTWARE LICENSORS HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, LOSS, COSTS OR EXPENSE, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES, MADE BY ANY THIRD PARTY DUE TO OR ARISING OUT OF CONTENT YOU POST OR MAKE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE FORUM FEATURES, YOUR VIOLATION OF THE RULES OF THE FORUM OR THESE TERMS OF USE, OR YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY OTHER PERSON'S RIGHTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INFRINGEMENT OF ANY COPYRIGHT OR VIOLATION OF ANY PROPRIETARY OR PRIVACY RIGHT.
