WEB
SITE TERMS OF USE
Wow! You actually came
to this page. Our lawyers made us include it and made us use a precious
button on our home page to get you here. At first, we thought the
lawyers were a real pain. But then we read the page. What a Netwakening!
It's really important stuff. We took the legalese the lawyers wrote and
translated it into readable English. So be a smart nethead and read the
stuff on this page. It could prevent you from hearing from our lawyers,
or worse yet, from really nasty people, like prosecutors.
Here's the deal:
We run this site so that
people like you (and people you like) can use it for personal
entertainment, information, education, communication, and cyber
gratification. So go ahead and browse around all you like. You can even
download stuff from the site but only for non-commercial, personal use.
If you do, though, don't fool around with the copyright and other
notices all over the stuff. They're there for a really good reason. And
don't even think about distributing, modifying, transmitting, reusing,
re-posting, or anything else uncool with any of the stuff, including the
text, images, audio, and video, for public or commercial purposes unless
we give you written permission. And it's not likely we will.
If you visit our site,
you're also legally obligated to the terms and conditions listed below
and any other law or regulation that applies to the site, the Internet,
the World Wide Web, or Singapore. You shouldn't access or browse the
site if you have any problem with that, because once you start, there's
no turning back -- you are bound by [read: stuck with] the terms and
conditions.
So here's the scoop on
our Top Eleven Rules for Cyber surfers who hang out on our site:
1. For everyone's
sake, just assume that everything on the site is copyrighted unless we
say it's not. So you can't use the stuff except how we say you can on
this page or anywhere else on the site without our written permission.
And like we said before, it's not likely we'll give you permission
anyway. In fact, even if we wanted to, the lawyers are likely to veto
any deal anyway. So it's better you don't even ask.
2. While we try to
include accurate stuff on the site, we're not promising you it's
accurate. In fact, we're not promising you anything except fun and
entertainment. So if you use stuff on the site, you're using it at your
own risk. Don't call us if there's a problem because we assume no
liability or responsibility for errors or omissions on the site.
3. We and anybody
else who helped us create, produce, or deliver the site are not liable
for any damages you suffer when you use it. In particular, the lawyers
want you to know that our disclaimer includes "direct, incidental,
consequential, indirect, or punitive damages arising out of your access
to, or use of, the site. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on
the site is provided to you 'AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON
INFRINGEMENT.
Please note that some
jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some
of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Check your local laws for
any restrictions or limitations regarding the exclusion of implied
warranties. " Ugh! What a mouthful from the mouthpieces. We put all of
that in quotes because we couldn't figure out any other way to say it
that the lawyers would accept. But here's the bottom line -- we're not
responsible if you're browsing around and the site damages you or your
computer or infects it with any nasty viruses. We sure hope that doesn't
happen, but if it does, don't call us.
4. If you don't
want the world to know something, don't post in on the site in any
bulletin board or anyplace else. That's because anything you disclose to
us is ours. That's right -- ours. So we can do anything we want with the
stuff you post. We can reproduce it, disclose it, transmit it, publish
it, broadcast it, and post it someplace else. We can even send it to
your mother (as soon as we find her address). Not only that, we can even
use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques you post any way we
want to, including, developing, manufacturing and marketing products or
other stuff using the information you post.
5. Pictures of
people or places shown on the site are either our property or someone
else's property we're using with their permission. No matter what, it's
definitely not your property. You or any of your net-friends can't use
it unless we said you could on this page or somewhere else on the site.
And guess what -- we won't say yes. So be careful, Bunky, because
unauthorized use may violate all sorts of nasty laws. Be smart, keep the
stuff you download to yourself.
6. There's also a
lot of trademarks, logos, and service marks on the site that either we
own or we're using with someone else's permission. So don't think you
have any kind of license or right to use them, because you don't and
we're not about to give you one. If you don't leave them alone and mess
with our trademarks, logos and service marks on our site, we'll probably
go ballistic, so will the companies that own the other trademarks, logos
and service marks. That means that we're likely to sue you or to ask a
prosecutor to come after you for messing around with our property or the
property of others.
7. You'll probably
notice we've linked our site to lots of others. While that's cool, it
doesn't mean we've looked at all those sites, much less checked them out
periodically to see what's going on. So don't blame us if some site you
link to is bad or has stuff on it that offends you or your pets. Go
ahead and link, but remember, you're doing it at your risk.
8. That brings us
to what you do on our own site. While we occasionally listen in on chat
groups, or look at the posting in our discussion groups or on our
bulletin boards, we take no responsibility and assume no liability for
the content of those locations or for any mistakes, defamation, libel,
slander, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography, or profanity you
might encounter when you visit such places on our site. And don't be
stupid by posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous,
defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, nasty,
mean, or profane material or any material that law enforcement types may
consider a criminal offense, get someone in court on a civil lawsuit, or
for that matter violate any law -- anywhere, anytime. While we certainly
respect your privacy, we have no choice but to fully cooperate with any
law enforcement authorities or court which might ask us who might have
posted nasty stuff on our site.
9. Software that we
use on this Site is protected by all sorts of patriotic Singapore laws.
Because of that, you can't download or send the software to anyone in
the vacation travel spots of Cuba, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Iran,
Syria, or any other country where Singapore has embargoed goods; or (get
this) to anyone on the United States Treasury Department's list of
Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of
Deny Orders, or the FBI's Most Wanted Internet Creeps List (just kidding
on the last one). As if that were not tough enough, if you live in or
are a national of any of those lovely places, you're not even supposed
to be reading this page, so beat it!
10. We're also
allowed to change this page and anything else on the site any time we
want to. That's because it's ours and we have the programmers who can do
it. If we do change the page, then you're bound by [read: stuck with]
those changes, too, whenever you visit our site.
11. If either of
us wants to make something of it and wants to "sue" (a dirty word) then
we have to follow these rules of engagement. (sort of according to the
Geneva Convention):
This Agreement is
governed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to principles of
conflict of laws.
To the extent you have
in any manner violated or threatened to violate TurnkeyMoney.com and/or
its affiliates' intellectual property rights, TurnkeyMoney.com and/or
its affiliates may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any
state or federal court in Singapore, and you consent to exclusive
jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Any other disputes will
be resolved as follows:
If a dispute arises
under this agreement, we agree to first try to resolve it with the help
of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in the following location: Singapore.
Any costs and fees other than attorney fees associated with the
mediation will be shared equally by each of us.
If it proves impossible
to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution through mediation, we
agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration at the following
location: Singapore. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration
may be entered in any court with jurisdiction to do so.

2003
TurnkeyMoney.com strives
to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to
provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use
Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street
address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather
information from users
How we collect and store
information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in
which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example,
you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information
when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and
chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web
sites, TurnkeyMoney.com also collects information automatically and
through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our
visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service
Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information
from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name
and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each
time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a
particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional
technology, we may also gather information through other means. In
certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for
example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you
do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be
asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to
customize the site's features according to your preferences.
What we do with the
information we collect
Like other Web
publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and
do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information
(information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many
ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns
with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our
site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what
features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally
be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this
information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information
about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally
Identifiable Information collected on TurnkeyMoney.com to communicate
with you about your registration and customization preferences; our
Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
TurnkeyMoney.com and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable
Information collected by TurnkeyMoney.com may also be used for other
purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration
of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain
third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our
site (our Web hosting service for example) may access such information.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from
time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy,
merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We
may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at
other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law,
in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or
to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked

TurnkeyMoney.com expects
its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our

that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
TurnkeyMoney.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access,

policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy
policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature
or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our
advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies
or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or
retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is
served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement
before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated
by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather
information. TurnkeyMoney.com does not control the use of this
technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware
that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on
message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly
and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and
may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third
parties. Such activities are beyond the control of TurnkeyMoney.com and
this policy.
