Privacy Policy

Terms of Agreement

Welcome to Gelf. By continuing to use Gelf, you agree to abide by the conditions of this agreement.

License to Gelf

By posting messages, inputting data, or engaging in any other form of communication through this service, you are granting Gelf a royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to:

Use, copy, sublicense, adapt, transmit, publicly perform or display any such communication.

Sublicense to third parties the unrestricted right to exercise any of the foregoing rights granted with respect to the communication.

The foregoing grants shall include the right to exploit any proprietary rights in such communication, including but not limited to rights under copyright, trademark, servicemark or patent laws under any relevant jurisdiction.

Content linked to Gelf

You should be aware that when you are on Gelf's site, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. Gelf has provided links and pointers to Internet sites maintained by third parties. For example, if you click on a banner advertisement or a search result, the click may take you off the Gelf Site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors, and content partners. Neither Gelf, nor its affiliates operate or control in any respect any information, products or services on these third-party sites. You acknowledge that when you click on a link that leaves a Gelf site, the site you will land on is not controlled by us and different terms of use and privacy policy may apply. By clicking on links to other sites, you acknowledge that Gelf is not responsible for those sites.

We make no representations concerning the content of sites listed in any of our directories. Consequently, we cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, relevancy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in sites listed in our search results or otherwise linked to a Gelf Site.

Forums, Comments and Public Communications

"Forum" means a chat area, message board, instant messaging or e-mail function offered as part of Gelf. Visitors may post reviews, comments, and other content; and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information. However, you acknowledge that anything you submit to Gelf by way of any forum is routed to the Internet and that you therefore have no expectation of privacy with regard to any such submission. You acknowledge that the forums and features on Gelf are forums for public and not private communications. When you give out personal information online, via message boards or chat, for example, that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. We cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online; you make such disclosures at your own risk.

Gelf is not responsible for the content or opinions posted or sent by users in any Forum. Users or visitors shall remain solely responsible for the content of their messages in the Forums. You may not post content that is illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties. You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of your content. You take responsibility for postings under your username and use the information provided in the forums at your own risk. We reserve the right to remove or edit content from any forum at any time and for any reason although we have no duty to do so.

Gelf is available "as is"

We do not warrant that this service will be faultless, as there may be oversights, errors, delays or interruptions in our performance of this service. We do not make any warranties, express or implied, with respect to any information, goods or services that are available or advertised or sold in connection to Gelf. We do not endorse, or make any representations regarding the accuracy, completeness, or soundness of any advice, opinion, statement or other material or database available through this service. We reserve the right to correct any errors or omissions. If you rely on Gelf and any materials available through it, you do so at your own risk.

Log Files

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

Business Transitions

In the event Gelf goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via email of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

Changes in this Privacy Statement

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.

Legal Disclaimer
