Detailed Terms of Use

Overview

These Terms of Use tell you about our public services, our relationship to you as a user, and the rights and responsibilities that guide us both. We want you to know that we host an incredible quantity of educational and informational content, some of which is contributed and made possible by users like yourself. Generally we do not monitor, or delete content. This means that editorial control of the blog or content you post is in the hands of you. We merely host those contents. The community - the network of users who are constantly building and using the various sites or Projects - are the principal means through which the goals of the mission are achieved. The community contributes to and helps govern our sites. 

 

Open source contents

 

 

Legal responsibility

You are welcome to join as a contributor, editor, or author, but you should follow any policies that govern the site as a whole and the respective sections or pages. Please be aware that you are legally responsible for all of your contributions, edits, and re-use of the website content under any applicable laws (which may include the laws where you live or where you view or edit content). This means it is important that you use caution when posting content. In light of this responsibility, we have some rules about what you cannot post, most of which is either for your own protection or for the protection of other users like yourself. Please keep in mind that the content we host is for general informational purposes only, so if you need expert advice for a particular question, you should seek the help through the contact form or of a licensed or qualified professional. We also include other important notices and disclaimers, so please read these Terms of Use in their entirety.

 

Objectionable, erroneous or copyright content

You may find some material objectionable or erroneous: Because we provide a wide array of content that is produced or gathered by us from various sources and also by our fellow users, you may encounter material that you find offensive, erroneous, misleading, mislabeled, or otherwise objectionable. We therefore ask that you use common sense and proper judgment when using our services. You can always use the contact form to contact us for any clarification or help. 

Usually we write an article after learning from various sources over a period of time and hence some of the sentences, examples etc. might be similar or same to other materials available. You can always use the contact form to contact us for bringing any such mistakes to our notice and we will immediately take the necessary steps to either remove it or provide an acknowledgement on that content based on mutual agreement with you.
