You may not modify, reformat, copy, display, distribute, transmit, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer or sell any information, products or services obtained from the Services, except as permitted by these Terms of Use or under applicable laws.

If you want to make commercial use of the The Internet Book search service, please contact legal_support@theib.comfor information on our Value-Added Links Program.

The Service is a free service offered by The Internet Book Company.

The Web changes constantly and no searching or indexing techniques can possibly index all pages accessible on the Web. As a result, The Internet Book does not and cannot guarantee that your search results will be complete or accurate or that the links associated with the indexed sites will be accurate at the time of your search.

The Web sites included in the The Internet Book index are developed by persons over whom The Internet Book exercises no control. The process of including sites in the index is largely automatic. The Internet Book cannot and does not screen the sites included in the index. For these reasons, The Internet Book assumes no responsibility for the content of any site included in the index, and shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions contained in this Web site or any The Internet Book Site, or any offensive or otherwise objectionable content contained in this Web site or any The Internet Book Site.

THE SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND OTHER CONTENT (INCLUDING THIRD PARTY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND CONTENT) INCLUDED IN OR ACCESSIBLE FROM THIS WEB SITE AND THE THE INTERNET BOOK SITES, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, The Internet Book DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES (EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS) AS TO THE SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND OTHER CONTENT (INCLUDING THIRD PARTY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS AND CONTENT) INCLUDED IN OR ACCESSIBLE FROM THIS WEB SITE AND THE The Internet Book WEB SITES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL The Internet Book OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR CONTENT PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE, PROFITS, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLES, OR THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE, INABILITY TO USE, UNAUTHORIZED USE, PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THIS WEB SITE, ANY The Internet Book SITE OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF The Internet Book HAS BEEN ADVISED PREVIOUSLY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, UNDER STATUTE, IN EQUITY, AT LAW OR OTHERWISE.

The Internet Book occasionally receives requests to remove links or newsgroup postings from the The Internet Book database. Although The Internet Book reserves the right to address such requests on a case-by-case basis, The Internet Book's approach generally reflects the following principles:

1. The identification, indexing and cataloguing of Web sites and news groups is done automatically by software with no opportunity for advance review of content by human beings. Given the enormous volume of information added to and changed on the Web on a daily basis, the maintenance of this service cannot be sustained in any other way. Accordingly, The Internet Book does not and cannot screen anything posted on this Web site or on any The Internet Book Site.

2. In general, The Internet Book believes that persons who make information available on the Web or in newsgroups do so with the expectation that such information will be publicly and widely available and will be indexed by information location tools such as The Internet Book. The Internet Book further believes that making newsgroup postings and links to publicly accessible Web pages available at this site is legally permissible and consistent with the common, customary expectations of those who make use of the Web and Usenet communications media.

3. If access to a particular Web site is restricted, we may remove the link to that site from the The Internet Book Sites at the site operator's request. If, however, the operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic software used to create The Internet Book's index is likely to find it and index it again.

Nothing on this Web site or on any The Internet Book Site, or your use of the Services, shall be construed as conferring any license or other rights under the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of The Internet Book, its affiliates or any third party.

Any information provided to The Internet Book in connection with this Web site or any The Internet Book Site shall be provided by the submitter and received by The Internet Book on a non-confidential basis. The Internet Book shall be free to use such information on an unrestricted basis.

All the materials on the The Internet Book sites are scientific, educational, or commercial industries information which does not contain any other materials which do not need any other family filters.

Under the appropriate circumstances, it is The Internet Book's policy to remove and/or to disable access to Web pages of repeat infringes, to terminate subscribers and account holders who are repeat infringes.

The Internet Book strives to deliver search results that provide accurate information about the content of Web pages. Accordingly, The Internet Book reserves the right to remove and/or to disable links to a Web site or Web page as to which The Internet Book has determined, in its sole discretion, that improper steps have been taken to manipulate The Internet Book's search results. Any claims that a Web site or Web page has taken improper steps to manipulate The Internet Book's search results should be in writing and directed to:

The Internet Book Company
Fax:(865) 888-5286
Email: legal_support@theib.com

Such written notice should include information that is sufficient to substantiate the claim. The Internet Book will consider such claims but it retains the sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether such claims are meritorious and should be acted upon.

The Internet Book reserves the right to terminate your access to this Web site, any The Internet Book Site or the Services, and to remove any user-created content, at any time, without cause or notice. The Internet Book also reserves the right to revise these Terms of Use at any time, without notice, and you hereby agree to be bound by such changes.
