Specifically, any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is not provided. Everything presented is usually checked to be correct on a "best effort" basis, but no warranties or guarantees are made regarding the contents of this server.

All pages on this server (with respect to any mirrored items) are Copyright ©1997-2006 by William R. Walsh. All Rights Reserved. The mirror of the sci.electronics.repair FAQ is provided as a a courtesy. All documents that make up this resource are the property of Samuel M. Goldwasser. The IBM PCCBBS mirror contains items that are the copyrighted property of IBM Corporation. Please review the IBM license before downloading or using these files.

Walsh or Walsh Computer Technology is ever posted, all reasonable efforts to locate the rightful owner of the work or an authorized agent are made. If this information cannot be found after an exhaustive search, materials may be posted anyway. If you wish to have your property removed, see the section below. 3c. Permission is hereby granted to reproduce any resource on this server so long as you do not edit or remove any copyright notice(s) that are provided on the object in question. You must also provide a link to the original item (or this server) and a brief attribution notice in your mirror or adaptation of an item or items from this server. No fee beyond that required to cover duplicating or media costs is to be charged when distributing copies of this site. Consult the information presented on the page or item you wish to use for specific information regarding copyright and reproduction or reuse. Anything that I didn't write or create will require that you ask the copyright holder for permission. 3d. If you copy or use images from this site, do NOT modify them in any way. This includes use of Photoshop or other image editing tools of any type. You may, however, resize, optimize the color pallette, or change the file format of any image on this server. 4. Mirror Policy The following only applies to materials that have been made freely available. No materials that are or have been made available in exchange for a monetary fee will be mirrored here. It is not our intention to provide access to works that have been or are being sold for profit. We reserve the right to mirror any material *after seeking permission* from its author or creator. If permission is denied, we will NOT make any effort to mirror said materials on this server. However, if the rightful author or an authorized agent of the rights to a work cannot be reached after an exhaustive search, we may very well decide to post the content anyway. Fair use law permits reproduction of materials for educational purposes, and it is believed that any reproduction of copyrighted material on this site that is not authored by us *is* being used in such an educational fashion. If you control the rights to a work that we've mirrored without your permission or approval, your sole remedy is removal of the item. All you need to do is simply send an e-mail using one of the contact links on this site. State clearly and politely what you believe to be in possible violation of your rights or what content that you control the rights to that you wish to see removed. We will promptly remove said content. There are no other remedies available for such cases. Please note that I said a *polite* request above. If you do NOT feel that you should send a polite request, you will likely be ignored and future e-mails from you will go right straight to the garbage can. Specifically any of the following will be ignored: Threats or notices of legal action Infested or infected messages sent with the intention of disrupting our operations Rude messages Messages where the offending content cannot be determined and content will remain available unless we can determine what it is that you believe infringes on your rights. 5. Actions Regarding This Server Do not perform malicious actions against this server. If you do, you are subjecting yourself to possible legal action and all efforts necessary to stop you from disrupting services or damaging our equipment will be taken. If you have a problem with something I've done or said on this server please e-mail me. Provided you can approach me with a levelheaded approach, I'm willing to listen and will consider changing things that you may not agree with on this site. There is no guarantee of this happening, but write me a message and I'll see what I can do. 6. Legality of articles posted here. A "best effort" is made to determine that any material posted here is not in violation of any laws. However, I have better things to do with my time than to be sure that everything I put up here is legal for everyone everywhere. (If I did that then you'd probably be staring at an empty web server!) Laws vary from area to area, so you should check to be sure that anything you do here is legal for the area in which you live or perform actions from information provided on this web server. If it should be determined that an article on this server violates a law in effect for the area I call home, then it will be removed. This is the sole rememdy for such items. DMCA Consideration: I do not condone violation of copy protection for the purpose of stealing protected works. However, I do fully believe in and will defend my rights to fair use, as well as my right to publish articles that may contain information on defeating copy protection in the interest of fair use. While I do not intend for people to use any article that explains how to bypass copy protection in the interest of fair use for the purpose of stealing copyrighted works without compensating their creators, this may occur. I cannot do anything about it unless I simply don't provide the information, and that's a violation of my free speech rights, so it won't be happening. Don't bother contacting me with threats of legal action or requests to remove information from this server. You will be wasting your time. Go after the person who misused the information presented here and is actually stealing your works. Thank you. I cannot and will not accept any such charges, accusations or liabilities. This server is run as a personal project that I enjoy. I do not take any profit from providing the resources on this server. I cannot and will not accept any liability for supposed violations of the DMCA. 7. Linking I welcome and encourage links to this site, so if there's an article or item you'd like to link to, please feel free to do so. I would make one request though--if you want to link to a picture or media item, please make a copy on your own server. My bandwidth on this connection is not the highest, so please help me save some load on this server and my connection. Do not render this site in a frame of your site. 8. Thanks Thank you for taking the time to read this. I really hate to have to say some of the things that are mentioned here, but there are far too many people in this world with nothing better to do than to try and ruin my day.
