FORUMS AND PUBLIC COMMUNICATION :
"Forum" means a message board, e-mail function or any interactive feature of the Tip20! Site. If you participate in any Forum within the Tip20! Site, you agree to follow our terms set forth below.
You acknowledge that anything you submit to a Tip20! Site by way of any Forum is routed through Tip20!'s web hosting systems and the Internet and that, therefore, you have no expectation of privacy with regard to any such submission. You acknowledge that the Forums and features on the Tip20! Sites are forums for public and not private communications. Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online, that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. We cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online; you make such disclosures at your own risk.
Users or visitors shall remain solely responsible for the content of their messages in the Forums. We are not responsible for the content or opinions posted or sent by users in any Forum. You take responsibility for postings under your name and use the information provided in the Forums at your own risk. We reserve the right to remove or edit content from any Forum at any time and for any reason although we have no duty to do so.
When participating in a Forum, never assume that people are who they say they are, know what they say they know, or are affiliated with whom they say they are affiliated with in any message board, or other user-generated content area. Information obtained in a Forum may not be reliable, and it is not a good idea to take any action, based solely or largely on information you cannot confirm. We cannot be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information, and shall not be responsible for any decisions made based on such information.
