Legal Stuff
NO ENDORSEMENTS OR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Prescott Mac User Group (PMUG) does not accept advertising on its website. Any links to a merchant’s website that may appear usually reflect the subject matter of a future presentation.
Many of our “outside” presenters (those who are not PMUG members) run commercial enterprises and offer products and/or services for sale at our meetings. We believe that such presentations are of interest to our members so they may become aware of new products and services on the market. Even though PMUG does discuss and critique items of general computer interest, it does not endorse or recommend any particular merchant or their offerings. Your decision to purchase or use any product or service should be made only after conducting your own research regarding your particular subject of interest.
In addition, merchants may offer prizes, giveaways or services to PMUG in order to obtain some advertising or goodwill benefit by doing so. We would like to thank those merchants for their donations and we may show our appreciation by giving them a temporary link and/or a few “thank you” lines on a webpage. Such recognition should not be construed as an endorsement or approval of the merchant or its products.
CLASSIFIED ADS
Ads are run free for PMUG members who want to sell, trade or give away Mac related computer parts, accessories, software, or books on an occasional or casual basis. These ads are available to the public at large for free. PMUG does not accept advertising from vendors, merchants, etc. – please see “No Endorsements or Recommendations” section above. The Webmaster will have total discretion and decision authority regarding the suitability of items for inclusion on the webpage or persons authorized to place ads. If your items sell, please let the Webmaster know so he may change or delete your ad copy as appropriate. All ads will expire in one month and will be automatically removed if the Webmaster remembers to check the date of your ad.
If your item hasn’t sold by that time, you may renew your ad by submitting it a second time. (The Webmaster will not keep a copy of your expired ad.) However, you should probably face the sad fact that your item is so outdated that no one wants it. In that case, you should probably donate it to a worthy cause.
PRIVACY
PMUG maintains a list of all current members for the convenience of other members, to track membership expiration dates and to provide a current address list for the PMUG Secretary. This list is made available only to current PMUG members who have requested that the Webmaster open a User Account at this website. To access the list, members must sign in using a secure login connection (User Name and Password). Upon the expiration of any member’s membership, their User Account will be locked out until they renew their membership or deleted if they choose to not renew. Your information will not be not shared with or sold to any other organizations.
Personal information on this list generally includes a PMUG member’s name, address, telephone number and email address. Any member may request that some or all of their personal information be deleted from this list by informing the PMUG Secretary to that effect.
SUBMITTED ARTICLES
Anyone, whether or not a member of PMUG, may submit original articles for publication on the PMUG Newsletter by submitting such article to the PMUG Editor. In general, such articles should be about a computer-related topic of interest to our members. Your article should contain no advertising or “hype” related to any product or service. The PMUG Editor reserves the right to edit typos and correct minor obvious errors of any kind prior to publication. Material that contains major errors, advertising or is deemed unacceptable by the PMUG Editor for any reason in his or her sole discretion will be referred back to the author for correction prior to publication. Similarly, notices of time sensitive value, such as an upcoming event, can be submitted to the Webmaster for including in the PMUG website in the Special Announcements section of the home page.
By submitting any such articles, you grant PMUG a non-exclusive copyright license to publish such material as it sees fit. This non-exclusive license includes publication in the media described in the paragraph immediately above as well as in any other newsletters and publications with which PMUG may be associated. If you do not desire PMUG to further distribute your original work, please inform us accordingly and we will try to work out a mutually agreeable solution.
Because of the difficulty many people experience when trying to open certain documents, PMUG reserves the right to convert the submitted work into an acceptable format for publication. If this is not possible, as determined by the Webmaster or the PMUG Editor, the work shall be returned for conversion by the author.
PMUG acknowledges the Prescott Computing Society (PCS, http://www.pcs4me.com) that has graciously given PMUG permission to use their legal notice as modified above.
