knowledge. Each User agrees not to identify him- or herself with an alias and,

A User shall not post, provide or otherwise make available

(a) is defamatory or libelous or would violate or infringe in
any way upon the rights of others, (b) is protected by copyright, patent,

content does not violate any extant copyright.
General Compliance with Laws
You shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances and regulations regarding your use of our Service.
No commercial use of the Service
No User shall use the Service for commercial activity (other
than incidental use) or for any solicitation whatsoever (including the selling
of "opportunities," such as direct sales or multi-level marketing),
or to solicit any charitable requests or petitions for signature, unless the
aspect of the Service in question explicitly endorses such use or DCC has
provided its prior, written consent to use. This means there is to be no
advertising or promotion for commercial purposes.

Users agree to comply with U.S. law regarding the
transmission/export of technical data through the use of the Service.

Privacy and passwords
Upon becoming a Member of the Service, each User shall
receive a password and an associated account. Each Member is solely responsible
for maintaining the confidentiality of such password (or modifying such

unauthorized use of the Member's account or other breach of security. However,
DCC is not responsible for such unauthorized use and makes no warranties as to

Discontinuance of membership
Each Member is free at any time and for any reason to
discontinue use of the Service and to remove from the Service any information

and the use of email by, the User. Failure to obtain regular and complete
access to email (and, in particular, the email accounts that the User has
listed with the Service), may interfere with the User's ability to use and
fully enjoy the Service, and thus each User is encouraged to maintain such
email access.
Remedies

this service and DCC reserves the right to invoke any and all remedies
available to it either in law or equity.

or Website for web and content development, management, operations, and
research.
Copyright and related rights
Each User grants DCC and each applicable Collaborator a
perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non- exclusive, sublicenseable (through
multiple tiers) right and license to use, reproduce, sell, modify, adapt,
publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display
and exercise all copyright and publicity rights with respect to any content

works in any form, media or technology now known or later developed for the
full term of any rights that may exist in such content, consistent with privacy
restrictions set forth in this Usage Agreement. In addition, no member may seek
to restrict DCC's rights to such content through the use of a statement or
legend. (If any User does not wish to grant such rights to DCC, it is suggested
that you do not provide such content to the Service.) Other than materials you
may author and post, material may not be excerpted or copied for any other
purpose without the express written consent of DCC.
DCC'S RESPONSIBLITIES
No sale of information

If so requested, DCC shall make reasonable efforts not to
disclose personal information provided by a User; provided, however, that such
requests must be consistent both with the aims and description of particular
aspects of the Service at the time of such request and at any time in the
future and also with the technical limitations and design of the Service at the
time of such request and at any time in the future. To the extent that a
request is inconsistent at the time of the request or at any time in the
future, then DCC reserves the right not to honor such request. Further, each
User acknowledges that use of the Service requires that certain minimum
information about the Member be made available to all Users of the Service, and
that such information shall be used consistent with the terms of the "Use
of Information" provision above.
By providing information and data to the Service, each User
also implicitly authorizes DCC to disclose such information and data in the
good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary
(a) to comply with the law; (b) to comply with legal process
(including by making such information available to a government agency or court
if so requested, with or without the necessity of a subpoena); (c) to enforce
this Usage Agreement and the rules promulgated thereunder; (d) to respond to
claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (e) to protect
the interests of DCC.

Service at any time without prior notice to any User, and DCC shall not be
