Alumwire, Inc. ("Alumwire") provides its services subject to the terms and conditions including those set out below. These are collectively the "Terms of Service" ("TOS"). All of these may be revised by Alumwire from time to time, without notice, and will be posted as amended on our site. Use of Alumwire's services constitutes acceptance of the Terms of Service, as so published.

THE ALUMWIRE SERVICE

Alumwire provides its users with professional networks, communications tools, forums, events and other services. These features, and any new features adopted by Alumwire, (collectively, the "Service") are subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that Alumwire does not assume any responsibility for the content of any of these communications, or for the deletion or failure to display or store any user communications.

ALUMWIRE USER CONDUCT

You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated. This means that you, and not Alumwire, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit via the Service. Alumwire does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will Alumwire be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed or otherwise transmitted via the Service.

You agree to NOT use Alumwire to:

  1. make available, upload, post, email or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, or otherwise objectionable;
  2. impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, an Alumwire employee, moderator or host, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
  3. harm minors in any way;
  4. forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers including copyright management information in order to disguise the origin of any Content transmitted through the Service;
  5. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any Content that you do not have a right to transmit under any law or under contractual agreement or relationship;
  6. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party;
  7. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," "multi-level marketing" or any other form of solicitation, except in those areas or groups that may be designated for such purpose;
  8. upload, make available, post, email or otherwise transmit any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;
  9. disrupt the normal flow of dialogue or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to engage in real time exchanges;
  10. interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the Service;
  11. intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national or international law; or
  12. "stalk" or otherwise harass another user.

You acknowledge that Alumwire does not pre-screen Content, but that Alumwire and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or move any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Alumwire and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable.

You acknowledge and agree that Alumwire may preserve Content as Alumwire property and may also disclose Content if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the TOS; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Alumwire, its users and the public.

Alumwire is not an employment agency or a recruiting firm, and makes no representations or guarantees regarding the effectiveness or timeliness of the Service in meeting the employment objectives of the users. Alumwire does not guarantee that Content posted by you will result in candidates being hired or positions being filled, and is not responsible for any employment decisions, for whatever reason made by any user. All sales are final after access to the recruiting tools have been granted.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.
