Terms and Conditions

You agree, through your use of the AWOL website, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person’s privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on the AWOL website.

Note that it is impossible for the staff or the owners of the AWOL website to confirm the validity of posts. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the posted messages, and as such, are not responsible for the content contained within. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented. The posted messages express the views of the author, and not necessarily the views of AWOL, its staff, its subsidiaries, or owner. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator or moderator of the AWOL website immediately. The staff and the owner of AWOL reserve the right to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if they determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, please realize that they may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy applies to member profile information as well.

You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners of the AWOL website, any related websites to AWOL, its staff, and its subsidiaries. The owners of the AWOL website also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any other related information collected on this service) in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from any situation caused by your use of the AWOL website.

You have the ability, as you register, to choose your username. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password out to another person except an administrator, for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another person’s account for any reason. We also HIGHLY recommend you use a complex and unique password for your account, to prevent account theft.

After you register and login to the AWOL website, you will be able to fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information AWOL’s owner or staff determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable.

Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded, in the event that you need to be banned from the AWOL website or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.

Also note that the software places a cookie, a text file containing bits of information (such as your username and password), in your browser’s cache. This is ONLY used to keep you logged in/out. The software does not collect or send any other form of information to your computer.

The above terms and conditions apply to all parts of the AWOL website, including, but not limited to, the forum and directory sections. This agreement covers all current and future parts of the AWOL website or any other websites where you can use your AWOL identity to log in or register. Depending on which parts of AWOL website you access, you may be required to agree to a similar, separate agreement that applies to that particular section, but the conditions agreed to here that are not defined elsewhere will still apply; examples are on the first visit to the forum or any part of the site where payment is being made for services.
