Acceptable Use Policy
The Technologyadvice network of websites (the "Websites") include a variety of features that allow feedback, interaction and the posting of content and material for display on the Websites, such as discussion forums, message boards, blogs, commenting features, photo and video uploading, sharing, tagging, social networking and public discussion features (collectively the "Posting Features"). Your access and/or use of any of the Posting Features hosted by Technologyadvice and its affiliate sites indicates your acceptance of the Technologyadvice Legal Notice, Privacy Policy and this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"). The AUP can be modified at any time, and your continued use of the Posting Features indicates your acceptance of the modified terms that can be found HERE. Specific Websites may have additional terms of service, available at the respective sites, in addition to those found in this AUP. Technologyadvice advises you to review any and all such additional terms of service prior to use of any website.
By using these Websites, you agree to the following:

We CANNOT help you with lost or forgotten PASSWORDS.
• By posting messages, blog entries, comments, uploading files, inputting data, or engaging in any form of communication through this service (collectively "the Content"), you are granting Technologyadvice, its successors and assignees, a royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to use, adapt, transmit, publicly perform or display any such Content on the site to which it was contributed (or successor site). In plain English, you allow us to continue to display your contributions on the Websites.
• If you post any graphic images, photographs or videos, you warrant that you have all necessary rights to such Content and accept all liability for any model or property release issues that may arise from an individual or trademarked property in the Content. Please do not submit any images, photographs or videos for which you do not have a current, valid model or property release.
• You will not post any Content that is knowingly false, misleading, or inaccurate.
• You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack anyone.

• You will not post advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or solicitations. You will not, furthermore, collect personal information for the purpose of sending any advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or solicitations through other means (email, messaging programs, etc.).
• You will not post messages that are clearly outside of the stated topic of any Forums nor disrupt a forum by deliberately posting repeated irrelevant messages or copies of identical messages (also known as "flooding").

We reserve the right to delete any message and/or restrict posting rights in our Posting Features for any reason whatsoever. Should you continue to post messages that violate the rules of the Posting Features, your account may be terminated, your access to the Posting Features may be banned, and your service provider(s) may be contacted about your behavior. Furthermore, we expressly reserve our rights under the law to take any other actions we deem necessary.
We reserve the right to disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on Technologyadvice, protect and defend the rights or property of Technologyadvice network of sites, its visitors, users, advertisers, or sponsors, and to identify persons who may be violating the law, the Legal Notice, or the rights of third parties, and cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.
