PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS
AND CONDITIONS RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THIS SITE CAREFULLY.
By using this site, you are deemed to have agreed to these terms and conditions
of use. We reserve the right to modify them at any time. You should check these
terms and conditions periodically for changes. By using this site after we post
any changes to these terms and conditions, you agree to accept those changes,
whether or not you have reviewed them. If at any time you choose not to accept
these terms and conditions of use, please do not use this site.
Scope of Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions apply to your use of all of the entire People to
People International web site, including all web sites and pages within the
domain PTPI.ORG, and any site on which a link to these Terms of Use appears (the
"Sites").
Restrictions on Use of Materials
The contents of our Sites are the property of their owners. Unless we say
otherwise, you may access the materials located within the Sites only for your
personal use. This means you may download one copy of posted materials on a
single computer for personal, noncommercial home use only, so long as you
neither change nor delete any author attribution, trademark, legend or copyright
notice. When you download copyrighted material you do not obtain any ownership
rights in that material. The PTPI logo is copyrighted and we do not allow the
use of the PTPI logo by any party for any reason without express written
permission.
You may not modify, copy, publish, display, transmit, adapt or in any way
exploit the content of the Sites. Only if you obtain prior written consent from
us - and from all other entities with an interest in the relevant intellectual
property - may you publish, display or commercially exploit any material from
the Sites.
You must abide by all additional copyright notices or other restrictions
contained in any of the Sites.
Links
These terms and conditions apply only to the Sites, and not to the sites of any
other companies or organizations, including those to which any of the Sites may
link. We are not responsible for the availability of any other site to which any
of the Sites links. We do not endorse or take responsibility for the contents,
advertising, products or other materials made available through any other site.
Under no circumstances will we be held responsible or liable, directly or
indirectly, for any loss or damage that is caused or alleged to have been caused
to you in connection with your use of, or reliance on, any content, goods or
services available on any other site. You should direct any concerns to that
site's administrator or webmaster.
Forums
A "forum" means any message board, chat room, user review forum or other
interactive service appearing on the PTPI website and includes both public
boards and private folders. All use of the forums is subject to compliance with
the Agreement applicable thereto.
We are not responsible for material appearing in any forum on our website. We
are not responsible for screening material posted by users for libel, obscenity,
invasion of privacy, copyright or trademark infringement, accuracy, or for any
other reason. We retain, however, the right to modify or remove messages or
other material that we, in our sole discretion, consider infringing, offensive,
abusive, defamatory, obscene, stale, or otherwise unacceptable. We also reserve
the right to edit materials for any other reason. Whether or not we modify or
remove such material, users remain solely responsible for the content of their
messages or postings.
By posting on our site, you grant (or warrant that the owner of such rights has
expressly granted) PTPI the right to use your questions, comments, and postings,
in their original or edited form, in publications or in any other medium now
known or later developed. You also warrant that you own or otherwise control all
of the rights to the content you have posted and that the public posting and use
of such content by us will not infringe the rights of any third party.
Additionally, you warrant that any "moral rights" in posted materials have been
waived.
You are not entitled to any compensation for any materials you may post on the
Sites.
We may, at our discretion, suspend or terminate the registration of any forum
user who violates any of these terms and conditions of use, any of the member
guidelines or for any other behavior that we in our discretion believe is
inappropriate.
Disclaimers
Neither we nor any of our respective licensors or suppliers warrant that any
functions contained in the sites will be uninterrupted or error-free, that
defects will be corrected, or that the sites or the server that makes them
available are free of viruses or other harmful components.
Neither we nor any of our respective licensors or suppliers warrant or make any
representations regarding the use or the results of the use of the services,
products or materials in this site in terms of their correctness, accuracy,
reliability, or otherwise. You (and not we or any of our respective licensors or
suppliers) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or
correction to your system.
We do not endorse, warrant or guarantee any products or services offered on the
Sites. We are not a party to, and do not monitor, any transaction between users
and third party providers of products or services.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, will we or any
of our licensors or suppliers be liable for any special or consequential damages
that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials on the
sites, or any products or services provided pursuant to the sites, even if
advised of the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the
limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so
the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall the
total liability to you by us or any of our licensors or supplies for all
damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise)
exceed the amount paid by you to us, if any, for accessing the sites.
No Personal Advice
The information contained in or made available through the Sites (including but
not limited to information contained on message boards, in text files, or in
chats) cannot replace or substitute for the services of trained professionals in
any field, including, but not limited to, financial, medical, or legal matters.
In particular, you should regularly consult a doctor in all matters relating to
physical or mental health, particularly concerning any symptoms that may require
diagnosis or medical attention. We and our licensors or suppliers make no
representations or warranties concerning any treatment, action, or application
of medication or preparation by any person following the information offered or
provided within or through the Sites. Neither we nor our partners, or any of
their affiliates, will be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential,
special, exemplary or other damages that may result, including but not limited
to economic loss, injury, illness or death.
Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting your privacy and security and have explained in
detail the steps we take to do so.
Jurisdictional Issues
We control and operate this site from our World Headquarters in the United
States of America. We do not represent that materials on the site are
appropriate or available for use in other locations. Persons who choose to
access this site from other locations do so on their own initiative, and are
responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are
applicable.
Miscellaneous
These terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Missouri, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law. You
agree that any action at law or in equity that arises out of or relates to these
terms will be subject to binding arbitration in accordance with the Missouri
Arbitration Association and will be arbitrated in Missouri. If any of these
terms and conditions are found unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable,
then that provision will be considered severable from the remaining terms and
conditions, and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions. This is the entire agreement between you and us relating to the
subject matter it contains. This agreement may be modified only by our posting
of changes to these terms and conditions, or by a writing signed by both
parties.
