ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

AndTeK GmbH ("ANDTEK") provides its services at alooha!net ("ALOOHA") subject to certain terms and conditions including the terms set out below. Collectively, these are the "Terms of Service" or "TOS". All of these may be revised by Andtek from time to time and will be posted as amended on our site. Use of our services constitutes acceptance of the Terms of Service, as so published.

THE ALOOHA SERVICE

ANDTEK provides its users with communications tools, forums, events and other services. These features, and any new features adopted by ALOOHA, (collectively, the "Service") are subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the ALOOHA services are provided "AS-IS" and that ANDTEK does not assume any responsibility for the content of any of these communications, or for the deletion or failure to display or store any user communications.

USER CONDUCT

You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated. This means that you, and not ANDTEK, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit via the Service. ANDTEK does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will ANDTEK be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed or otherwise transmitted via the Service.

You agree to not knowingly or intentionally use ALOOHA to:

a. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, or otherwise objectionable;

b. harm minors in any way;

c. impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, an ANDTEK employee, moderator or host, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;

d. forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers including copyright management information in order to disguise the origin of any Content transmitted through the Service;

e. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any Content that you do not have a right to transmit under any law or under contractual agreement or relationship;

f. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party;

g. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," "multi-level marketing" or any other form of solicitation, except in those areas or groups that may be designated for such purpose;

h. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;

i. disrupt the normal flow of dialogue, cause a screen to "scroll" faster than other users of the Service are able to type, or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to engage in real time exchanges;

j. interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the Service;

k. intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national or international law; or

l. "stalk" or otherwise harass another user.

You acknowledge that ANDTEK does not pre-screen Content, but that ANDTEK and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or move any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, ANDTEK and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable.

You acknowledge and agree that ANDTEK may preserve Content and may also disclose Content if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the TOS; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of ANDTEK, its users and the public.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

TERMINATION OF USE

You agree that ANDTEK, in its sole discretion, may terminate all or part of your user access, registration, password, account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service, and remove and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if ANDTEK believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS. ANDTEK may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this TOS may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that ANDTEK may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that ANDTEK shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.
