StorageWorld
Using
this Web Site: General
This
site (the "Site") is maintained for your entertainment,
information, communication, and point of reference. The term
"StorageWorld" is used to designate the focus of the
site and is not used as a business term nor as a company. If
there was any natural justice or honesty in the world (or half
the world's population wasn't trying to actively exploit the
other half) we wouldn't even need pages like this on a web site.
It's terrible that the greatest tool mankind has every built
for communication is simply being downgraded to just another
place the self-centred and dull can make a quick pound or two.
Please wait while MarketingScam.W32 spyware is installed on
your system in the background.
Using This Web Site
Please feel free to browse the Site. If you are browsing this
Site as a non-commercial consumer, you may download material
displayed on the Site for your non-commercial, personal use.
If you are browsing this Site as an employee/agent/member of
any business or organisation, you may download material displayed
on the Site for purposes within your business or organisation
and re-use any materials only with the provision that any copyright
marks, trademarks, and any other legal ownership and other proprietary
notices contained on the materials are displayed and not altered.
You must also respect the ownership of any Trademarks and Copyright
notices to which use may be subject to the permission of the
owner. Additionally, you may not distribute or transmit (except,
within your business or organisation), modify, reuse, report,
or use the contents of the Site for public or commercial purposes,
including the text, images, audio, and video without the owner
of the material's written permission. You may also offer money
if you really want to. Someone's got to update this site, you
know, and I don't get paid to do it.
Your access and use of the Site is also subject to the following
terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") and
all applicable laws. By accessing and browsing the Site, you
accept, without limitation or qualification, the Terms and Conditions
below. A great 'catch all' clause that doesn't leave a great
deal of room for manoeuvre does it?
Using
this Web Site: External Links
StorageWorld
will allow any links to this site from relevant sources providing
the site does not display material of an offensive, racist,
extreme political nature, or sexual matter, and is suitable
for viewing by people of all ages, sexes, races and nationalities.
We ask that you inform us of the link if in any doubt by sending
an email to webmaster@storageworld.co.uk
where we will respond to the suggested link. StorageWorld does
not endorse or support in any manner whatsoever sites that display
racist, sexist, sexual, or offensive material, and does permit
links to or from sites containing such material. The use of
an external link to this site does not imply that StorageWorld
endorses any material, product, individual, or company that
has manufactured such links.
You
may link to this site if the origin contains information of
relevant technology, or any useful or beautiful thing to the
human race from art & literature to environmental protection.
For example, links from the thoughts of George W Bush defintely
do not fall into this category but links from Greenpeace would
(though why they would want to would be beyond me to explain).
Using
this Web Site: Terms
and Conditions
You should assume that all material on the Site is protected
by copyright of the owner of the material (usually me) unless
otherwise noted and may not be used except as permitted in these
Terms and Conditions or in the text on the Site. Material which
StorageWorld does not own copyright is protected by the owners
of such material and StorageWorld does not grant any use of
such material without the owner's written permission. Material
that is reproduced in whole or part on this site is acknowledged
as being under the complete ownership of the author and StorageWorld
does not infer, impart, assume, or assign ownership of such
material. All images and logos displayed on this site are done
so for the purposes of example or in rare cases promotion of
the owner's product or services. The use of such material for
promotional purposes does not imply that the owner of such images
or logos endorses StorageWorld whatsoever, nor indeed, that
we endorse them. We've probably never even met.
Risk of Use
Your use of the Site is at your risk (life is like that). StorageWorld
makes no warranties or representations as to its accuracy (although
we do try to get our facts right we all make mistakes), and
StorageWorld specifically disclaims any liability or responsibility
for any errors or omissions in the content on the Site. Neither
StorageWorld nor any other party involved in creating, producing,
or delivering the Site (me again) is liable for any direct,
incidental, consequential, indirect, or punitive damages arising
out of your access to, or use of, or inability to use or access,
the Site. Mr Webscam and his lawyers can find some other poor
unfortunate to pick on.
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.
I
have no idea what that means but it is legal.
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. In
the event of any dispute, agreement, contract or otherwise between
StorageWorld and any other party, the Law of England will apply.
I'm not sure if that's better or worse, but it is easier.
Features and Specifications
Features and specifications of products described or depicted
on the Site are subject to change at any time without notice.
Non-metric weights and measures are approximate and are used
as a general guide only. All monitor screens are measured diagonally;
all monitor screen images contained on the Site are simulated
pictures unless otherwise indicated. Most of the images displaying
products are owned by the manufacturer of the product and are
used for promotional purposes to display the products availability
for sales only and not as a description of the product. StorageWorld
does not imply ownership of the images and acknowledges any
ownership.
Liability of Use
StorageWorld assumes no responsibility, and shall not be liable
for, any damages to, or viruses that may infect, your computer
equipment or other property on account of your access to, use
of, or browsing in the Site or your downloading of any materials,
data, text, images, video, or audio from the Site. Whilst we
strive to maintain the integrity of all materials contained
within this site we cannot be responsible for the actions of
others who may damage, alter, or misuse the data contained here
without our permission or knowledge. As with all Internet and
World Wide Web users, we are at the mercy of those who may seek
to deliberately destroy or damage information without consultation
or motive, and draw your attention to the discrimination between
these people, and those who seek to assimilate information only
and do not intend to cause malicious damage to systems or software
for no reason. However, StorageWorld cannot endorse any unauthorised
access to systems.
Communications
If you send any communications or materials to the Site by electronic
mail or otherwise, including any data, questions, comments,
suggestions, or the like, all such communications are, and will
be treated as, non-confidential and non-proprietary. Anything
you transmit or post may be used by StorageWorld for any purpose,
including, but not limited to, reproduction, disclosure, transmission,
publication, broadcast, and posting. Furthermore, StorageWorld
is free to use, without any compensation to you, any ideas,
concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication
you send to the Site for any purpose whatsoever, including,
but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing
products using such information. We probably wouldn't do this
as we are not some monolithic and unlikeable US mega-corporation
but we have to protect ourselves from submissions from people
like their employees.
The Site refers to products and/or services that are generally
available for purchase in the United Kingdom but may not be
available in your particular country or locality. The reference
to any such products or services in this Site does not imply
or warrant that these products or services will be available
at any time in your particular locality. Price guides are intended
as a general guide to the pricing structure only and although
StorageWorld will take every reasonable measure to ensure accuracy
and availability at the prices stated here, StorageWorld reserves
the right to adjust and amend these prices as and when necessary
without prior warning or consultation.
StorageWorld is not responsible for the content of any site
linked to or from the Site. Your linking to any other site is
entirely at your own risk. While StorageWorld may provide links
on this Site to other sites, the inclusion of such links is
for your convenience only and should not be interpreted as an
endorsement of the owner/sponsor of the site or the content
of the site. StorageWorld disclaims all warranties, express
and implied, as to the accuracy, validity, legality or otherwise
of any materials or information contained on such sites.
We
wish the links to other sites to be beneficial to you and the
information contained therein to be informative and accurate,
but obviously cannot guarantee accuracy over content to which
we have no control whatsoever. We will endeavour to eliminate
links which deliberately mislead or contain misleading content
if our attention is drawn to sites and links which fit this
category.
StorageWorld operates a policy of welcoming suggestions for
links to sites that may be of interest to browsers of our Site.
We endeavour to investigate each link to verify that the suggested
site is of interest before we add the link to our Site, but
do not accept any responsibility for the information contained
nor of any changes (i.e. change of content type) after the link
has been added.
We
welcome comments pertaining to links that are no longer relevant
or provide information not in keeping with the content type
of StorageWorld, so that the links may be removed. No information
on this Site nor links from this Site is intended to display
content not suitable for all ages. We do not - and will not
- provide links to or from any Adult Sites on the Internet or
World Wide Web. If such a link is found it is not with our permission
or consent and will be removed instantly by StorageWorld as
soon as we receive notification of its existence or are aware
of such a link.
Using
this Web Site: Copyright
StorageWorld invites contributions of relevant information pertaining
to storage equipment, products, and tips from viewers and browsers
of the Site. This material will appear with the contributors
name displayed if requested, otherwise it will be added to the
Technical section of the Site for the information and perusal
of other viewers and browsers. As such, we cannot always verify
the originality and ownership of the material and rely upon
the honesty and integrity of the contributor.
If
any material contained in this site is deemed to infringe the
copyright of the author of any similar material, we will endeavour
to investigate the origin of the material to the best of our
ability, and if necessary change the copyright notices to display
the name of the rightful author and/or remove the content from
our Site. We may issue an apology on the page where the material
appeared. StorageWorld makes no guarantee on the integrity or
source of information contributed, nor accepts responsibility
for any inaccuracy or copyright infringement by the actions
of third parties, and we do not knowingly endorse plagiarism,
copyright infringement, or any other act which misuses or abuses
the rightful ownership of material.
StorageWorld
fervently believes in the freedom of material and information,
but also firmly believes in giving credit to the originators
and authors of material, and acknowledging their work.
