Page
Welcome to the Legal Page. Here, you will find miscellaneous legal information and stuff that will save me from being sued over something like "I didn't know that opening my computer, rubbing my feet on the carpet on a dry day, and touching internal components could mess up my computer."
Part 1: Wow, I have a license!
Yes, you can use my site, but as long as you're not making money off of it. After all, the only people who should profit from Jim, Klaymen, G.e.e.K.e.R. and everyone else, are the creators. Oh, and I suppose the copyright holders could profit too.
Part 2: I don't own it.
Most likely, neither do you. EWJ, the Neverhood, and Project G.e.e.K.e.R. all are copyrighted by other people. I think EWJ is owned by Shiny, the Neverhood by the Neverhood (ha, surprised?), and G.e.e.K.e.R. by perhaps CBS? I can use it because I am not profiting. Any advertising banners have been provided by my service provider.
Part 3: The annoying banners
The annoying banners are means of generating profit for the server operators. The advertisements can be memory sapping or even destructive (for example, Java applets), slow down your computer (for example, Macromedia Flash advertising), an HTML page (for example, the advertisements which have forms), or standard animated GIF files. Many of these advertisements have the ability to store cookies on your computer. Cookies are small files which can tell certain websites where you have gone. Unfortunately, they will not say you have been to the EWJ Database, but instead to the advertiser on the top. These files are about 977 bytes in size (just a little less than 1K), on average. That means that it will take about 1500 advertisements' cookies to fill up a standard 1.44 MB (1,44 Mo) floppy diskette. All the cookies on your hard drive can be erased or stopped through the Internet Options screen that is in every web browser. The EWJ Database NEVER will use banners for profit (I may stick a banner linking to another EWJ site, but that might get too hard).
Part 4: Disclaimer Type Crud
My buddies and I (basically everyone who is on the About page) are not liable for anything that happens to your computer while browsing this site or doing anything else. For no reason should any of my buddies or myself be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to damages for loss of profits [I know you're tempted to visit at work], or other information [You know, deleting stuff off your hard drive so more of my site can fit in the cache], for business interruption [Like visiting my site at work], for personal injury [perhaps a little to comfortable tilting your chair back while viewing my site], for loss of privacy [I don't steal any information, my Internet space provider does], for failure to meet any duty including of good faith or of reasonable care [Don't ask what that means, I just gotta put it.], for negligence [I'm not gonna be alive forever you know, or I might forget the password.], and for any other pecuniary or other loss whatsoever [You know, any other bad thing]) arising out of or in any way relating to the use of or inability to use (I doubt anyone would be that desperate to use my site) the site, the provision or failure to provide support services (Although I'll try), or otherwise under or in connection with any provision of this disclaimer, even in event of fault, tort (including negligence), strict liability, breach of contract (we don't have one, so don't worry. It is here just to look fancy) or any of my buddies and I, and even if my buddies and I have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
And all that is protected by law, I hope. It takes a long time to write a disclaimer that is only about a couple of sentences long. In other words, you have no reason to try to get money out of my friends or myself.
THE END
