Any correspondence with the GM Sites or with Guanabee Media, including any documentation or images, are considered property of Guanabee Media. Guanabee Media reserves the right to reproduce such correspondence, in whole or in part, on any of the GM Sites or its affiliates.

Comments Terms of Use

The comments sections on GM Sites are accessible to all users.

In order to make our comments useful and interesting, the following guidelines have been established for comment users:

* Do not post threatening, harassing, defamatory, or libelous material.

* Do not intentionally make false or misleading statements.

* Do not offer to sell or buy any product or service.

* Do not post material that infringes copyright.

* Do not post information that you know to be confidential or sensitive or otherwise in breach of the law.

* Keep all comments relevant to the particular GM Site where the comment is being posted.

* Guanabee Media will not accept responsibility for information posted in the Comments.

If Guanabee Media receives notice that a comment post is not in keeping with these terms and conditions or the intended use of the comments, we reserve the right to remove that comment posting. The removal of any comment shall be solely at the discretion of Guanabee Media.

Please note that once you post a comment to one of our sites, it becomes part of the public conversation. Our policy is that we will not remove a user's comments unless they are in violation of our Terms of Service, and we won't remove them otherwise except in very extreme circumstances. So if you want to say something that you will later regret personally, it is advisable that you use a username that does not identify you. We cannot simply remove your comments because you have a change of heart about making them.

Image Terms of Use

Guanabee Media sites typically display images as part of blog posts written by our editors. The types of images editors are authorized to use on Guanabee Media sites include:

* Images licensed from photographic archive vendors

* Images supplied to our editors or released into the public domain by public relations and marketing companies for press purposes

* Reader-submitted images, with the implied representation that the person submitting the image owns the copyright in the image and the right to give it to us for use on our site(s)

* Images published on public photo sites with licenses granted under Creative Commons, with attribution in accordance with the CC license granted in each case

* Images commissioned by Guanabee Media

* Images that we believe to be covered by the Fair Use Doctrine, such as:

* Thumbnail images of 150x150 pixels or less, cropped or reduced in size from the original source

* Images used to illustrate a newsworthy story, where the image itself is the story

* Images used in a transformative manner, such as for parody

* Images so widely distributed that they are deemed to have become part of the news

If Guanabee Media receives notice that an image posted is not in keeping with these terms and conditions or the intended use of the Comments section where it is posted, we reserve to right to remove that image.

If you think we have published an image or text that infringes your copyright, we will address your concerns; however, if the image falls into one of the categories listed above, we believe that our use of the image is legitimate and we will not remove it from the site.

Please note that we will respond only to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The text of the Act can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://lcWeb.loc.gov/copyright/

To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written communication (by email with an attached and signed PDF or by fax) that sets forth the items specified below. Please do not send us regular mail, as we may not receive it in a timely fashion. In all cases, if you do not hear a response from us within 10 days of submitting a complaint, please telephone us at (646) 344-0021 to confirm that we received your original complaint. Spam blockers sometimes devour important emails from strangers!

To enable us to address your concerns, please provide the following information:

1. For each allegedly infringing image or piece of text that you wish to have removed from one of our sites, provide the exact permanent URL for the page containing the material.

2. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you: an email address is preferred, as well as a telephone contact number.

3. Provide the following information detailing your claim to ownership of the copyright in the allegedly infringing material:

* Proof of copyright in the image or text concerned, namely proof of registration of the Image under the DMCA,

OR, absent such registration,

* a detailed description of where the photograph was taken, by whom, who or what the subject of the image is, AND

* Evidence to support your claim that you own the copyright in the image.

We will not comply with requests to remove an image where the complainant cannot prove that they own the copyright in the image in question.

4. Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

5. Sign the document and e-mail it to: info AT guanabee DOT com / DMCA Complaints

Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that any material on our sites is infringing your copyrights.

Indeed, in a recent case (http://www.onlinepolicy.org/action/legpolicy/opg_v_diebold/) a company that sent an infringement notification seeking removal of online materials that were protected by the Fair Use doctrine was ordered to pay such costs and attorneys’ fees. The company agreed to pay over $100,000. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

Please note that a copy of each legal notice we receive will be sent (with your personal information removed) to Chilling Effects (http://www.chillingeffects.org/) for publication.

We also reserve the right to publish your letter on the site(s).

STANDARD CONTEST RULES

To provide fair and equal chance of winning to all Guanabee Media readers, the following are the official rules for all contests on Guanabee Media websites.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE CHANCES OF WINNING.

All winners must be 18 years of age or older, unless otherwise stated and/or posted.

1. Entering Contests and Choosing and Contacting Winners

Winners of random email contests will be chosen at random from emails received.

Entrants must send entries using the correct contest entry email address, subject line, and any other specific entry information requested in the contest announcement. Guanabee Media is not responsible for and will not consider incomplete or incorrect entries, or emails sent but not received by Guanabee Media for any reason, as potential contest winners.

Winners of all contests will be contacted at the “sender” email address used to enter the contest, and the person receiving and replying to the winner announcement email will be considered the winner unless they specify another person within the reply email as the winner. Guanabee Media will mail the contest prize to the address supplied by the recipient of the winner announcement email.

Only one entry per email address used to send the email will be considered for contest entry, unless multiple entries are specifically allowed in the contest posting. Unless otherwise specified in an individual contest post, no person may enter any contest more than once using multiple email addresses.

Claiming of prizes requires an email response to Guanabee Media from the winning sender email address within 30 days of being notified of winning at the email address used to enter. Failure to respond shall mean that the winner forfeits the prize. Guanabee Media is not required to award elsewhere any prizes forfeited by the chosen winner(s).
