DISCLAIMER FOR COMP.SYS.AMIGA.ANNOUNCE

1. Spirit of disclaimer

The purpose of this disclaimer is twofold.

First of all, I would like to be able to use the information I get in
ways other than simply posting it.  Due to certain copyright laws, this
is not normally permissible (although it is done regularly).  If you
wish to restrict rights on some copyrighted material that you still
wish to post, you may put a notice in the posting indicating that it is
copyrighted and what rights are restricted and what is permitted.  If
you have any problems or questions about the policy, please contact
me.

Second of all, I wish to protect myself against being sued.  I am doing
this work on a volunteer basis, and I want to be able to work freely
without worry about being sued for any of my actions or the actions of
someone submitting information to me, especially since I'm doing this
for the greater good.  To this end, there is a warning that errors may
occur and a statement that since I get my information from somewhere
else, I won't be liable about it.  I'm just passing it on from the
submitter to the readers.

2. Language of disclaimer

By submitting announcements to the moderator, the submitter implicitly
agrees that the material may be posted on Usenet.  Unless the submitter
indicates otherwise, this submission releases the material into the
public domain, so that it may be archived, re-published, put in a
collection, or otherwise used in any manner whatsoever.

Typing, transmission, or other errors and inaccuracies of commission or
omission may occur, and the moderator assumes no liability for these
errors.

Material submitted is the responsibility of the submitter.  The
moderator will not be held liable for the accuracy or content of such
material.  In addition, the moderator will not be held liable by either
submitters or users of such material for any errors of omission or
commission the moderator may make.

If you disagree with these conditions, do not use information the
moderator posts to comp.sys.amiga.announce, and do not submit material
to the moderator.
