4. Making Purchases.
If you

be asked by BadFruit or the third party provider of the product or
service to supply certain information applicable to your purchase,
including, without limitation, credit card and other information. You
understand that any such information will be treated by BadFruit in the

Descriptions or images of, or references to, products or services on
the Site do not imply BadFruit's endorsement of such products or

such descriptions or references, to limit the order quantity on any
product or service and/or to refuse service to you. Verification of
information applicable to a purchase may be required prior to
BadFruit's acceptance of any order. Price and availability of any
product or service are subject to change without notice. Current rates
for any product or service available through the Site can be found on
the Site.
5. Information Provided by BadFruit.
Although BadFruit
strives to provide Materials that are both useful and accurate, laws,
regulations, data and other information change frequently and are
subject to varying interpretations. In addition, the facts and
circumstances of every situation differ. Accordingly, although BadFruit
endeavors to use reasonable care in assembling the Materials, the
Materials may not be up-to-date, accurate or complete.
In
addition, portions of the Materials have been contributed to the Site
by various industry specialists and service providers. The inclusion of
such information does not indicate any approval or endorsement of such
providers, and BadFruit expressly disclaims any liability with respect
to the foregoing.
6.Submissions and Postings.
Please note that, because we and our designees host message boards and
other forums found on the Site (collectively, the "Forums")
and, therefore, redistribute materials you give to us, we require
certain rights in those materials. Accordingly, by sending or
transmitting to us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, concepts,
information or other materials (collectively, "Submissions"),
or by posting such Submissions to any area of the Site, you grant us
and our designees a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicenseable (through
multiple tiers), assignable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right
to use, reproduce, distribute (through multiple tiers), create
derivative works of, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally
perform, make, have made, sell, offer for sale and import such
Submissions in any media now known or hereafter developed, for any
purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to
the provider of the Submissions. None of the Submissions will be
subject to any obligation, whether of confidentiality, attribution or
otherwise, on our part and we will not be liable for any use or
disclosure of any Submissions.
7. Forums.
Information on our Forums
is provided by our staff and other contributors, some of whom use
anonymous screen names and are people not otherwise connected with
BadFruit. You acknowledge that a large volume of information is
available in our Forums and that people participating in such Forums
occasionally post messages or make statements, whether intentionally or
unintentionally, that are inaccurate, misleading or deceptive. We
neither endorse nor are responsible for such messages or statements, or
for any opinion, advice, information or other utterance made or
displayed on the Site or Forums by third parties, whether such third
parties are visitors to the Site, members of the BadFruit community or
others. The opinions expressed in the Forums reflect solely the
opinion(s) of the participants and may not reflect the opinion(s) of
BadFruit. We are not responsible for any errors or omissions in
articles or postings, for hyperlinks embedded in messages or for any
results obtained from the use of such information. Under no
circumstances will we or our affiliates, suppliers or agents be liable
for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on such information
obtained through the Site.
We have no obligation to monitor the Site or the Forums, or any
Submissions or other materials that you or other third parties transmit
or post on the Site or the Forums. You acknowledge and agree that we
have the right (but not the obligation) to monitor the Site and the
Forums and the materials you transmit or post; to alter or remove any
such materials (including, without limitation, any posting to a Forum);
to disclose such materials and the circumstances surrounding their
transmission to any third party in order to operate the Site properly;
to protect ourselves, our sponsors and our members and visitors; and to
comply with legal obligations or governmental requests.
8. Links.
The Site contains links to other Internet web
sites, including affiliated web sites, which may or may not be owned or
operated by BadFruit. BadFruit has not reviewed all of the web sites
that are linked to the Site, and BadFruit has no control over such
sites. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, BadFruit is not responsible
for the content of such web sites, any updates or changes to such
sites, or the privacy or other practices of such sites, and the fact
that BadFruit offers such links does not indicate any approval or
endorsement of any material contained on any linked site. BadFruit is
providing these links to you only as a convenience. Accordingly, we
strongly encourage you to become familiar with the terms of use and
practices of any linked site. Further, it is up to you to take
precautions to ensure that whatever links you select or software you
download (whether from the Site or other sites) is free of such items
as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects, date bombs, time bombs and
other items of a destructive nature.
9. Claims of Copyright Infringement.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA")
provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material
appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright
law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by BadFruit
infringe your copyright (for example, materials posted by BadFruit on
one of our Forums), you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting
that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must
include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic
signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of
the
copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple
copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single
notification, a representative list of such works);
(c) identification
of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of
infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow
BadFruit to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name,
address,
telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining
party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith
belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not
authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a
statement that the information in the notification is accurate and,
under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to
act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly
infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright
infringement has been wrongly filed by BadFruit against you, the DMCA
permits you to send BadFruit a counter-notice. Notices and
counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements
imposed by the DMCA; see
http://www.loc.gov/copyright
for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site
should be sent to Attention: abadapple-at-gmail.com. We suggest that
you consult your legal
advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that
there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
10. Ownership and Restrictions on Use.
The Site is owned and operated by BadFruit and the Materials (and any
intellectual property and other rights relating thereto) are and will
remain the property of BadFruit, its licensors and suppliers, and
others. The Materials and the selection, compilation, collection,

international copyright, trademark and other laws, and you acknowledge
that these rights are valid and enforceable. Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, you may not copy, reproduce, republish,
upload, post, transmit or distribute Materials or other content or
information available on or through the Site in any way without our
prior written permission. The Materials may be used solely to the
extent necessary for your authorized use of the Site, as provided in
this Agreement or as expressly authorized in writing by BadFruit or, if
so indicated in writing by BadFruit, its licensors or suppliers.
Modification of the Materials or use of the Materials for any other
purpose is a violation of our copyright and other proprietary rights,
and is strictly prohibited. You acknowledge that you do not acquire any
ownership rights by using the Site or the Materials.
If you
download Software from the Site, such Software is licensed on a limited
basis to you by us or the owner of such Software and is subject to the
terms and conditions of the license agreement that accompanies such
Software. Title to the Software is not transferred to you. You own the
medium on which the Software is recorded, but we retain all right,
title and interest in and to the Software, and all intellectual
property rights therein. You may not re-sell, decompile, reverse
engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to a
human-perceivable form, or transfer the Software to any third party,
except as provided in the applicable license agreement and as set forth
in this Section 10.
The trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site
(collectively the "Trademarks")
are the registered and unregistered trademarks of BadFruit, BadFruit's
licensors and suppliers, and others. The Trademarks owned by BadFruit,
whether registered or unregistered, may not be used in connection with
any product or service that is not BadFruit's, in any manner that is
likely to cause confusion with customers, or in any manner that
disparages BadFruit. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed
as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or
right to use any Trademark without the express written permission of
BadFruit, BadFruit's licensors or suppliers, or the third party owner
of any such Trademark. Misuse of any Trademarks is prohibited, and
BadFruit will aggressively enforce its intellectual property rights in
such Trademarks, including via civil and criminal proceedings. For more
information regarding BadFruit's Trademarks, please see the BadFruit
Trademarks page.
Certain software, or portions thereof, included in the Software are
subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU Lessor General Public
License,
other similar open source license agreements and other third party
agreements (collectively, "Third Party Agreements") which contain terms
that may expand (or restrict) your and/or third parties' rights to use
certain portions of the Software (collectively, "Third Party
Software"). You acknowledge and agree that you have
read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions of each such
Third Party Agreement. The Third Party Agreements may permit you and/or
third parties to copy, modify, redistribute and have access to the
source code of the Third Party Software portions of the Software.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, to the extent the terms and
conditions of the Third Party Agreement are inconsistent with or
contradictory to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then the
terms and conditions of the Third Party Agreements shall prevail and
control, only insofar as they apply to any Third Party Software
included within the Software. Nothing in this Section 10 shall permit
you or any third party to use the Trademarks in connection with
exercising the rights granted under the Third Party Agreements.
11. Access By Minors.
Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 230 (d),
as amended, we hereby notify you that parental control protections
(such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are
commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to
material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current
providers of such protections is available at the web sites of the
Electronic Frontier Foundation
(http://www.eff.org/pub/Censorship/Ratings_filters_labeling) and of
America Links Up
(http://www.netparents.org/parentstips/browsers.html).
