PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE LIMITATION
You may not modify, reformat, copy, display, distribute, transmit, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer or sell any information, products or services obtained from the Services, except as permitted by these Terms of Use or under applicable laws.  This restriction means, among other things, that you may not mirror on your own Web site, the home page or results pages of this Web site or any AV Site.

If you want to make commercial use of the AltaVista� search service, please contact laurenw@altavista.com for information on our Value-Added Links Program.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
The Service is a free service offered by AltaVista� Company.
 
The Web changes constantly and no searching or indexing techniques can possibly index all pages accessible on the Web.  As a result, AltaVista� does not and cannot guarantee that your search results will be complete or accurate or that the links associated with the indexed sites will be accurate at the time of your search. 

The Web sites included in the AltaVista� index are developed by persons over whom AltaVista� exercises no control.  The process of including sites in the index is largely automatic.  AltaVista� cannot and does not screen the sites included in the index.  For these reasons, AltaVista� assumes no responsibility for the content of any site included in the index, and shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions contained in this Web site or any AV Site, or any offensive or otherwise objectionable content contained in this Web site or any AV Site. 

THE SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND OTHER CONTENT (INCLUDING THIRD PARTY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND CONTENT) INCLUDED IN OR ACCESSIBLE FROM THIS WEB SITE AND THE AV SITES, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU.   TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALTAVISTA DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES (EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS) AS TO THE SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND OTHER CONTENT (INCLUDING THIRD PARTY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND CONTENT) INCLUDED IN OR ACCESSIBLE FROM THIS WEB SITE AND THE AV WEB SITES. 

LIABILITY DISCLAIMER 
IN NO EVENT SHALL ALTAVISTA� OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR CONTENT PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, PROFITS, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLES, OR THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE, INABILITY TO USE, UNAUTHORIZED USE, PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THIS WEB SITE, ANY AV SITE OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ALTAVISTA� HAS BEEN ADVISED PREVIOUSLY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, UNDER STATUTE, IN EQUITY, AT LAW OR OTHERWISE. 

REMOVAL OF SITES 
AltaVista� occasionally receives requests to remove links or newsgroup postings from the AltaVista� database. Although AltaVista� reserves the right to address such requests on a case-by-case basis, AltaVista�s� approach generally reflects the following principles:

1. The identification, indexing and cataloguing of Web sites and news groups is done automatically by software with no opportunity for advance review of content by human beings. Given the enormous volume of information added to and changed on the Web on a daily basis, the maintenance of this service cannot be sustained in any other way.  Accordingly, AltaVista� does not and cannot screen anything posted on this Web site or on any AV Site. 

2. In general, AltaVista� believes that persons who make information available on the Web or in newsgroups do so with the expectation that such information will be publicly and widely available and will be indexed by information location tools such as AltaVista�. AltaVista� further believes that making newsgroup postings and links to publicly accessible Web pages available at this site is legally permissible and consistent with the common, customary expectations of those who make use of the Web and Usenet communications media.

3. If access to a particular Web site is restricted, we may remove the link to that site from the AV Sites at the site operator's request.  If, however, the operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic software used to create AltaVista�s� index is likely to find it and index it again. Instructions for configuring a site to make it "invisible" to AltaVista�s� automatic indexing software are available to remove and/or disable links to a Web site that is restricted should be sent to http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=addurl 

NO LICENSE GRANTED
Nothing on this Web site or on any AV Site, or your use of the Services, shall be construed as conferring any license or other rights under the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of AltaVista�, its affiliates or any third party, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. 

FEEDBACK INFORMATION 
Any information provided to AltaVista� in connection with this Web site or any AV Site shall be provided by the submitter and received by AltaVista� on a non-confidential basis.  AltaVista� shall be free to use such information on an unrestricted basis.
 
FAMILY FILTERING 
AltaVista� encourages you to use your discretion while browsing the Internet with the AltaVista� search engine and to ensure that its use by minors is subject to responsible adult supervision.  AltaVista� makes a good faith effort to create a filtered version of the AltaVista� index (the "Filtered Index") from which it attempts to exclude material that it determines may be objectionable or inappropriate for children. 

Although AltaVista� makes a diligent effort to exclude objectionable and inappropriate material from the Filtered Index, there may be Web sites that are not easily identifiable as objectionable or inappropriate for minors.  In addition, reasonable people may disagree over what content should be excluded from the Filtered Index.  Therefore, despite AltaVista�s� good faith efforts, even the Filtered Index may contain information and other content that you or other people may find objectionable or inappropriate for children.  In the event you find content while using the Filtered Index that you think should be excluded, we encourage you to notify us by email at search-support@altavista.com so that we may review the information and take appropriate action, if any.  SEE "DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES."


POLICY CONCERNING REPEAT INFRINGERS 
Under the appropriate circumstances, it is AltaVista's� policy to remove and/or to disable access to Web pages of repeat infringers, to terminate subscribers and account holders who are repeat infringers.

ALTAVISTA�S POLICY CONCERNING MANIPULATION OF SEARCH RESULTS
AltaVista� strives to deliver search results that provide accurate information about the content of Web pages.  Accordingly, AltaVista� reserves the right to remove and/or to disable links to a Web site or Web page as to which AltaVista� has determined, in its sole discretion, that improper steps have been taken to manipulate AltaVista�s� search results.  Any claims that a Web site or Web page has taken improper steps to manipulate AltaVista�s� search results should be in writing and directed to:

AltaVista Company
529 Bryant Avenue
Palo Alto, California 94301
Fax: (650) 617-3526
legal-support@av.com

Such written notice should include information that is sufficient to substantiate the claim.  AltaVista� will consider such claims but it retains the sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether such claims are meritorious and should be acted upon.

ACCESS RESTRICTIONS
AltaVista� reserves the right to terminate your access to this Web site, any AV Site or the Services, and to remove any user-created content, at any time, without cause or notice.  AltaVista� also reserves the right to revise these Terms of Use at any time, without notice, and you hereby agree to be bound by such changes.
