THE SITES, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN IT OR ANY SITE
RELATED SERVICE, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE LICENSED, PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE MADE
AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITES, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, SLASHDOT MEDIA. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES,
AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, SPONSORS, AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE,

RELIANCE THEREON. NO OPINION, ADVICE, OR STATEMENT OF SLASHDOT MEDIA OR ITS
SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AGENTS, REGISTERED USERS, OR VISITORS,

You acknowledge that the Sites could include inaccuracies or errors, or
materials that violate these Terms of Use (specifically, the “Code of Conduct”
section). Additionally, you acknowledge that unauthorized additions, deletions
and alterations could be made by third parties to the Sites. Although the
Company attempts to ensure the integrity and the accuracy of the Sites, it makes
no guarantees whatsoever as to any Site’s completeness or correctness. In the
event that such a situation arises, please contact us at
sfnet_ops@slashdotmedia.com with, if possible, a description of the material to

as well as information sufficient to enable us to contact you. We will try to
address your concerns as soon as reasonably practicable. For copyright
infringement claims, see the section on “Claims of Copyright Infringement.”

Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, the Company cannot and
does not confirm that users are who they claim to be. Because we do not and
cannot be involved in user-to-user transactions or control the behavior of any
Site’s users, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Site users,
you release SlashDot Media, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents and
employees, from all claims, demands and damages of any kind and nature, known
and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out
of or in any way related to such disputes. You acknowledge that there may be
certain risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm and of
dealing with strangers, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses,
associated with pursuing relationships begun on the Internet. You assume all
risks related to dealing with other users with whom you have had contact through
the Site.

While Slashdot Media will use reasonable efforts to back up site data and make
such data available in the event of loss or deletion, Slashdot Media has no
responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any messages
and other communications or other Content (as herein defined) maintained or
transmitted by any Site. Slashdot Media reserves the right to mark as “inactive”
and archive accounts and/or Content that are inactive for an extended period of
time. Slashdot Media reserves the right to change these general practices at any
time, in its sole discretion, with notice to users and the public as described
above.

than affiliates of the Company (“Linked Sites”). We neither control nor endorse
such other web sites, nor have we reviewed or approved any content that appears
on the Linked Sites. You acknowledge that when you click on a link to visit a
Linked Site, a frame may appear that contains the Company logo, advertisements
and/or other content selected by the Company. You acknowledge that the Company
and its sponsors neither endorse nor are affiliated with the Linked Sites and
are not responsible for any content that appears on the Linked Sites. You also
acknowledge that the owner of the Linked Site neither endorses nor is affiliated
with the Company and its sponsors. Once you choose to link to another website,
you should read that website’s privacy statement before disclosing any personal
information.


5. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED; INDEMNIFICATION

Although the Sites are accessible worldwide, not all products or services
discussed, referenced or made available on the Sites are available to all
persons or in all geographic locations or jurisdictions. We make no
representation that materials in the Sites are appropriate or available for use
in locations outside the United States. Those who choose to access the Sites
from other locations do so on their own initiative and at their own risk and are
responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent local laws are
applicable. The Company reserves the right to limit the availability of the
Sites and/or the provision of any product or service described thereon to any
person, geographic area, or jurisdiction it so desires at any time and in our
sole discretion and to limit the quantities of any such product or service that
we provide. Use of the Sites is void where prohibited.

and all claims, damages, losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees),

breach of this Agreement, (b) your violation of the Code of Conduct, and/or (c)
your activities in connection with the Sites or Site-related services.


6. CODE OF CONDUCT

Submissions/Content

The Sites are owned and operated by SlashDot Media for the purpose of software
comparison, software development, discussion, implementation and innovation (the
“Purpose”). The Sites provide technology news, tools, products and education for
the IT and developer community.

All Code, information, data, ideas, text, software, music, sound, photographs,
graphics, video, notes, messages, concepts, trademarks, service marks, or any
other materials whatsoever (collectively, “Content”), whether publicly posted or
privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such
Content originated. This means that the user, and not Slashdot Media, is
entirely responsible for all Content that he or she uploads, posts, emails or
otherwise transmits via the Sites. No user shall transmit Content or otherwise
conduct or participate in any activities on the Sites that, in the judgment of
Slashdot Media, is likely to be prohibited by law in any applicable
jurisdiction, including laws governing the encryption of software, the export of
technology, the transmission of obscenity, or the permissible uses of
intellectual property. Slashdot Media reserves the right, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to refuse or delete any Content at any time. Slashdot Media
shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse
or delete any Content that it reasonably considers to violate this Agreement or
be otherwise illegal or does not fulfill the Purpose. Slashdot Media, in its
sole and absolute discretion, may preserve Content and may also disclose Content
if required to do so by law or judicial or governmental mandate or as reasonably
determined useful by Slashdot Media to protect the rights, property, or personal
safety of the Sites’ users and the public.

We do not require the users of our Sites to make use of the complete set of
services we offer. To help ensure community access to Content, when users
establish Content on our Sites but elect to instead release future Content
through other external sites, Slashdot Media has the right (but not the
obligation) to archive the original Content and make a new copy of the Content
curated by Slashdot Media. The set of Content included in this curated copy is
within the sole discretion of Slashdot Media, and may include updates and/or a
subset and/or a superset of the Content posted by the user externally

We do not control the Content posted to the Sites and, as such, do not guarantee
the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. Under no circumstances will
Slashdot Media be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited
to, liability for any errors or omissions in any Content or for any loss or
damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted,
emailed or otherwise transmitted via the Sites. Each user, by using the Sites,
may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Each
user must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with the use of any Content,
including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such
Content.

By sending or transmitting to us Content, or by posting such Content to any area
of the Sites, you grant us and our designees a worldwide, non-exclusive,
sub-licensable (through multiple tiers), assignable, royalty-free, perpetual,
irrevocable right to link to, reproduce, distribute (through multiple tiers),
adapt, create derivative works of, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally
perform or otherwise use such Content in any media now known or hereafter
developed. You hereby grant the Company permission to display your logo,
trademarks and company name on the Sites and in press and other public releases
or filings. Further, by submitting Content to the Company, you acknowledge that
you have the authority to grant such rights to the Company. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU
RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF ANY COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS IN ANY CONTENT
YOU SUBMIT.

Use, reproduction, modification, and other intellectual property rights to data
stored on the Sites will be subject to licensing arrangements that may be
approved by Slashdot Media as applicable to such Content. With respect to text
or data entered into and stored by publicly-accessible site features such as
forums, comments and bug trackers (“Slashdot Media Public Content”), the
submitting user retains ownership of such Slashdot Media Public Content; with
respect to publicly-available statistical content which is generated by the
sites to monitor and display content activity, such content is owned by Slashdot
Media. In each such case, the submitting user grants SlashDot Media a
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable license to
use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from,
distribute, perform, and display such Content (in whole or part) worldwide
and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now
known or later developed, all subject to the terms of any applicable license.
With respect to Content posted to private areas of Sourceforge.net (e.g.,
private development tools or mail), the submitting user may grant to SlashDot
Media or other Sourceforge.net users such rights and licenses as the submitting
Sourceforge.net user deems appropriate. Content located on any Slashdot
Media-hosted subdomain which is subject to the sole editorial control of the
owner or licensee of such subdomain, shall be subject to the appropriate license
applicable to such Content, or to such other licensing arrangements as may be
approved by Slashdot Media as applicable to such Content. For the purposes of
these Terms, “Code” means any software code you submit, post, display or
distribute via: any of our software configuration management (“SCM”)
repositories (including, CVS, Subversion, Git, Bazaar and Mercurial) or
SourceForge.net’s file release system, and “Associated Content” means any text,
data, music, sound, photograph, graphic, video, message or material, whether
publicly posted or privately transmitted via SourceForge.net, but does not
include Code. “SourceForge Content” means any Code or Associated Content.

    Attention: Vice President Business Affairs & General Counsel.
 h. Send electronically- or digitally-signed communication to
    dmca@slashdotmedia.com. Upon receipt of a counter notification in
    substantial compliance with the DMCA, Slashdot Media will provide the person
    who provided the initial notification of claimed infringement with a copy of
    the counter notification promptly. After receipt of the counter
    notification, Slashdot Media will generally replace the removed material and
    cease disabling access to it, unless Slashdot Media’s designated agent first
    receives notice from the person who submitted the initial notification that
    such person has filed an action seeking a court order regarding the removed
    material.

Slashdot Media is generally unable to evaluate the merits of trademark disputes
because trademark rights may be based on registration or common law use, exist
only for certain categories of goods or services and may differ internationally.
Therefore, Slashdot Media expects you to resolve trademark disputes directly
with the project administrator(s) rather than utilizing Slashdot Media as an
intermediary.


10. MISCELLANEOUS

This Agreement is entered into in the State of California and shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California,
exclusive of its choice of law rules. Each party to this Agreement hereby
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in
the County of San Diego in the State of California for any dispute arising under
or in connection with this Agreement, the Site or any Site-related services, and
waives any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such
courts. In any action to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be
entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. In the event that any of the provisions
of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated
to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in
full force and effect and enforceable. Failure of any party to insist upon
strict compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any similar right or power at any
subsequent time. SlashDot Media reserves the right to share or transfer personal
information and aggregate information to a third party should SlashDot Media
ever file for bankruptcy or in the event of a sale, merger, transfer or
acquisition of all or a material part of the Company. In addition, we may share
your personal information with affiliated companies.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto
pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all written or oral
agreements heretofore existing between the parties hereto are expressly
canceled. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by
you except with prior written consent. Any heading, caption or section title
contained in this Agreement is inserted only as a matter of convenience and in
no way defines or explains any section or provision hereof. The Company reserves
the right in its sole discretion to terminate the use of the Site by a user at
any time.

Please report any violations of the Terms (except for claims of intellectual
property infringement) to the Site Director at sfnet_ops@slashdotmedia.com
Slashdot Media may terminate a user’s account in Slashdot Media’s absolute
discretion and for any reason. Slashdot Media is especially likely to terminate
for reasons that include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) violation
of this Agreement; (2) abuse of Site resources or attempt to gain unauthorized
entry to the Sites or Site resources; (3) use of a Site in a manner inconsistent
with the Purpose; (4) a user’s request for such termination; or (4) as required
by law, regulation, court or governing agency order. Slashdot Media’s
termination of any user’s access to any or all Sites may be effected without
notice and, on such termination, Slashdot Media may immediately deactivate or
delete user’s account and/or bar any further access to such files. Slashdot
Media shall not be liable to any user or other third party for any termination
of that user’s access or account hereunder. In addition, a user’s request for
termination will result in deactivation but not necessarily deletion of the
account. Slashdot Media reserves the right to delete, or not delete, a user’s
account at Slashdot Media’s sole discretion, as well as to delete, or not
delete, Content at Slashdot Media’s sole discretion.
