General Member  Agreement Outline:

1. Website Content

This organization was established as an information and resource sharing community. Whilst we attempt to edit or remove any messages containing inappropriate, sexually orientated, abusive, hateful, slanderous, or threatening material that could be considered invasive of a person's privacy, or which otherwise violate any kind of law, it is impossible for us to review every message posted on this discussion system. For this reason, you acknowledge that all messages posted on this discussion system express the views and opinions of the original message author and not necessarily the views of this bulletin board. Therefore, we take no responsibility and cannot be held liable for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy and completeness of every message.

By registering on this discussion system you agree that you will not post any material which is knowingly false, inaccurate, abusive, hateful, harassing, sexually orientated, threatening or invasive of a person's privacy, or any other material which may violate any applicable laws.

Failure to comply with these rules may result in the termination of your account, account suspension, or permanent ban of access to these forums. Your IP Address is recorded with each post you make on this discussion system and is retrievable by the forum staff if need-be. You agree that we have the ability and right to remove, edit, or lock any account or message at any time should it be seen fit. You also agree that any information you enter on this discussion system is stored in a database, and that "cookies" are stored on your computer to save your login information.

Any  information you provide on these forums will not be disclosed to any third party without your complete consent, although the staff cannot be held liable for any hacking attempt in which your data is compromised.

By continuing with the sign-up process you agree to the above rules and any others that the Administrator specifies.

From STEMPIRE:

(d)  To the extent you request or subscribe to receive information from STEMPIRE via e-mail, or submit information to STEMPIRE’s clients, STEMPIRE will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such information to the e-mail address You provide; however, STEMPIRE cannot and does not guarantee delivery of such e-mail.

From STEMPIRE:

During your access to and use of the Website, You may obtain information that STEMPIRE or other users consider “confidential” or “proprietary” (“Confidential Information”).

You agree not to reveal the Confidential Information to any third parties and to take precautions, which shall be at least the more protective of reasonable and prudent care or those taken in safeguarding Your own trade secret, confidential, or proprietary information, whether by instruction, agreement, or otherwise, to satisfy Your obligations under these Terms with respect to authorized use, protection, and security of the Confidential Information. You agree that the wrongful disclosure of Confidential Information will cause STEMPIRE (or its other users) irreparable injury that is inadequately compensable in monetary damages; accordingly, STEMPIRE shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction against You for the breach or threatened breach of this Section, in addition to any other remedies including without limitation all remedies at law or equity without the requirement to submit bond.
