Everybody's got a copyright page and
The EMI Group is
no different. However our copyright page
actually makes sense to regular people. And it's no less legal for the clarity. So, listen up people - this is important stuff. We took the
legalese the lawyers wrote and translated it into readable English. So
read the stuff on this page. It could prevent you from hearing from our
lawyers or some other lawyer with even worse surprises [read: law suits].
So - here's the scoop...straight from the home office in beautiful Pleasanton, California.
We run this site so that you (and other net citizens) can use it for
fun, information, communication, education and cybergratification. So, go
ahead and browse around all you like. You can even download stuff from the
site - BUT only one copy for non-commercial, personal use. However, DON'T
fool around with the copyright tags and other notices that are part of the
stuff. And don't even think about modifying, copying, distributing,
transmitting, displaying, reproducing, publishing, or creating derivative
works from them, or anything else uncool with any of the stuff - including
text, images, audio and video - for public or commercial purposes unless
we give you written permission, and it's not likely we will <g>.
Remember, unauthorized use [read: re-read the last sentence] may violate
all sorts of nasty laws.
If you visit our site, you're agreeing to [read: stuck with] the terms
and conditions listed on this page and any other law or regulation that
applies to the site. If you have any problems with that, then you can't
hang out at our site, because these are the rules AND once you start,
there's no turning back--you are bound by [read: stuck with] the terms and
conditions.
So here we go........
Assume that everything on the site is copyrighted [read: it's not
yours] unless we say otherwise. 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. There's also a few trademarks/logos on the site, including
ones like the European Motorcycle Accessories logo 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.
If you want the world to know something, please send it to us. That's
because anything you disclose to us is and will remain yours [read: yours,
yours, yours]. So we'll only do what you authorize us to do with the stuff
you email or submit to us. We won't reproduce it, disclose it, transmit
it, publish it, broadcast it, or post it someplace else without your
permission.
However [and this is a biggie] if you do authorize us to use something
and then later want it removed from our site then you have to give us
enough time to remove it [read: our schedule is the one that counts here
bud]. In addition, we're all big boys here - you are responsible for your
actions. We take no responsibility and assume no liability [read: don't
complain to us, it's not our problem] for the stuff you submit to our
site.
While we try our best to include accurate stuff on the site, we're not
promising you it's 100% 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.
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 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
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW." Ugh! 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 viruses that may lurk in any stuff.
You'll probably notice we've linked our site to other sites out there
in cyberspace. While that's cool, it doesn't mean that we've looked at all
those sites or that we check them out to see what's going on. So don't
blame us if some site you link to has stuff on it that offends you or that
you don't like.
If you don't want to visit our site any more, that's OK... But just as
important, if you don't follow the simple rules on this page, we don't
want you to visit our site. In any event, you've got to destroy [read:
erase, throw out] any stuff you downloaded from our site and you're still
bound by [read: stuck with] all the other things we said on this page.
We're allowed to change this page or anything else on the site any time
we want to. That's because it's ours [read: it's ours..ours..ours]. If we
do change the page, then you're bound by [read: stuck with] those changes,
too, whenever you visit our site.
If there's any question about this agreement [read: all the stuff on
this page] or how this agreement applies to you or your use of the site,
California law will apply and your home office will be deemed to be in
California - just like ours
is.
