By accessing or using this web site currently located at www.backwardshat.com (the "Site") and owned by backwardshat.com ("bhat"), the user of this Site and any individual or entity on whose behalf a user accesses or uses the Site (collectively, "You" or "Your," as appropriate) agree to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions. Please read carefully and often as they are subject to change. Your continued use of the Site after the posting of changes to these Terms and Conditions constitutes acceptance of the changes. If You do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, do not use the Site.
You will not use the Site to violate anyone's copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights. By submitting material to the Site, You are representing that You are the owner of the material, or are making Your submission with the express consent of the owner. Submitting material that is the property of another, without the consent of its owner, is not only a violation of this agreement, but may also subject You to legal liability for infringement of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
Submission of material to any any area of the Site does not transfer the copyright to that material to bhat. However, by submitting the material, You, or the copyright holder in case You are acting for another, grant bhat a perpetual non-exclusive world-wide royalty-free license to modify, publish and reproduce that material for the purpose of operating, displaying, distributing and promoting bhat. However, bhat will not use Your materials without attributing them to You, without Your agreement. If You object to any modification by bhat of Your materials (except for minor edits), or, in the case of forum postings, comments on photos, or comment on the Site's static content, to the use of Your materials separate from their original context, bhat will either restore the original text and context, or delete the materials.
You agree not to use the Site to advertise products or services or to solicit anyone to buy or sell products or services, or to make donations of any kind, without our express written approval.
From time to time, email addresses may be posted. You agree not to gather these email addresses for purposes of spamming or for any non-personal or commercial purposes.
The materials available through the Site are the property of bhat or its licensors (the users), and most of the materials are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. Furthermore, bhat has expended its resources to gather these materials and to publish them or to make them available to its users. You agree not to reproduce or distribute, or cause to be reproduced or distributed, any material on the Site, without the express prior permission of both bhat and, in the case of copyrighted materials, the copyright owner, except for such reproduction as occurs in the normal course of reading or viewing the materials using a Web browser. Requests for permission to reproduce or distribute materials found on the Site should be sent both to bhat and the original author of those materials or, in the case of bhat features, to legal@backwardshat.com. You acknowledge that bhat and the copyright holders will be significantly damaged by Your violation of this section in a manner that would require immediate injunctive relief. You are not relieved of your duties under this section because material was posted anonymously or under a pseudonym, because you cannot locate the copyright holder, because the materials are in the public domain, because the materials are available on any other web site or in some other form, or because you have the permission of either the copyright holder or bhat, but not both.
This site is provided for your personal use. You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation "robots", "spiders", "offline readers", etc, that accesses the site in a manner which sends more request messages to the bhat server in any given period of time than a typical human would normally produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line Web browser to read, view, and submit materials.
Without the prior written permission of bhat, You may not frame any of the content of the Site, or incorporate or embed into another Web site or other service any intellectual property of bhat or any of its licensors.
