Website Terms of Use

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS.

The services that DiabloValleyFlyFish.org (henceforth known as DVFF.org) provides to you are subject to the following Terms of Use ("TOU"). DVFF.org reserves the right to update the TOU at any time without notice to you. The most current version of the TOU can be reviewed by viewing this "Terms of Use" Announcement.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Through its network of Web properties, DVFF.org provides you with access to a variety of resources, including download areas, communication forums and other information (collectively "Services"). The Services, including any updates, enhancements, new features, and/or the addition of any new Web properties, are subject to the TOU.

PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE LIMITATION

Unless otherwise specified, the Services are for your personal and non-commercial use. You may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, software, products or services obtained from the Services.

MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, AND SECURITY

If any of the Services requires you to open an account, you must complete the registration process by providing us with current, complete and accurate information as prompted by the applicable registration form. You also will choose a password and a user name. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account. Furthermore, you are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify DVFF.org immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. DVFF.org will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. However, you could be held liable for losses incurred by DVFF.org or another party due to someone else using your account or password. You may not use anyone else's account at any time, without the permission of the account holder.

NO UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED USE

As a condition of your use of the Services, you will not use the Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these terms, conditions, and notices. You may not use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair any DVFF.org server, or the network(s) connected to any DVFF.org server, or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of any Services. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any Services, other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to any DVFF.org server or to any of the Services, through hacking, password mining or any other means. You may not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available through the Services.

USE OF SERVICES

The Services may contain e-mail services, forums, communities and/or other message or communication facilities designed to enable you to communicate with others (each a "Communication Service" and collectively "Communication Services"). You agree to use the Communication Services only to post, send and receive messages and material that are proper and, when applicable, related to the particular Communication Service. By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that when using the Communication Services, you will not:

• Use the Communication Services in connection with surveys, contests, pyramid schemes, chain letters, junk email, spamming or any duplicative or unsolicited messages (commercial or otherwise).

• Upload, or otherwise make available, files that contain images, photographs, software or other material protected by intellectual property laws, including, by way of example, and not as limitation, copyright or trademark laws (or by rights of privacy or publicity) unless you own or control the rights thereto or have received all necessary consent to do the same.
• Use any material or information, including images or photographs, which are made available through the Services in any manner that infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary right of any party.

• Create a false identity for the purpose of misleading others.
• Use, download or otherwise copy, or provide (whether or not for a fee) to a person or entity any directory of users of the Services or other user or usage information or any portion thereof.

DVFF.org has no obligation to monitor the Communication Services. However, DVFF.org reserves the right to review materials posted to the Communication Services and to remove any materials in its sole discretion. DVFF.org reserves the right to terminate your access to any or all of the Communication Services at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever.

DVFF.org reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as DVFF.org deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in DVFF.org's sole discretion.

Always use caution when giving out any personally identifiable information about yourself or your children in any Communication Services. DVFF.org does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any Communication Services and, therefore, DVFF.org specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Communication Services and any actions resulting from your participation in any Communication Services. Moderators and hosts are not authorized DVFF.org spokespersons, and their views do not necessarily reflect those of DVFF.org.

Materials uploaded to the Communication Services may be subject to posted limitations on usage, reproduction and/or dissemination; you are responsible for adhering to such limitations if you download the materials.
