Privacy Statement
The Company believes strongly in providing Users notice of how it collects and use data,
including personally identifying information, collected from the Web Site. Therefore, the
Company has adopted a Privacy Statement to which Users should refer to fully to understand
how the Company collects and use data.
Permitted Use
User has a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited, and revocable right to use the Web Site
solely for User's personal, educational and informational purposes. User will not use the Web
Site for any other purpose, including any commercial purpose, without the Company's express
prior written consent. For example, User will not, and will not authorize any other person
to, (i) Co-brand the Web Site or portion thereof, or (ii) frame the Web Site or portion
thereof (whereby the Web Site or portion thereof will appear on the same screen with a portion
of another web site). "Co-branding" means to display a name, logo, trademark, or other means
of attribution or identification of any party in such a manner reasonably likely to give a
User the impression that such other party has the right to display, publish, or distribute the
Web Site or content accessible within the Web Site (the "Content"). User agrees to cooperate
with the Company in causing any unauthorized Co-branding, framing or linking to immediately cease.
Your access and use of the Web site may be interrupted from time to time for any of several
reasons, including, without limitation, the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating,
maintenance or repair of the Web site or other actions that the Company, in its sole discretion,
may elect to take. The Company reserves the right to suspend or discontinue the availability of
the Web site and/or any portion or feature of the Web site at any time in its sole discretion
and without prior notice.

User will have access to a variety of sources of content through the Internet. The Company
has made no effort to verify the accuracy or suitability of any information contained in any

and for maintaining a means external to the Web Site for the reconstruction of any lost data.

As a condition of use of this Web site, User agrees to indemnify the Company and its content
providers, licensors, service providers and contractors (the "indemnified Parties") from and
against any and all liabilities, expenses (including attorneys' fees), damages, judgments,
awards, and costs arising out of claims resulting from User's use of the Web site, including

of the Terms and Conditions. User will also indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless

Applicable Law and Arbitration
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Minnesota without regard for principles of conflicts of laws. Any civil action, claim,
dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Terms and Conditions, except for an
injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of the Terms and
Conditions by User as provided above, shall be referred to final and binding arbitration,
before a single arbitrator, under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association in St. Paul, MN. The arbitrator shall be selected by User and the Company, and if
User and the Company are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within thirty
(30) days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the arbitrator shall be selected by
the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall not commence until the party requesting
it has deposited One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) with the arbitrator for the arbitrator's fees
and costs. The party requesting arbitration shall advance such sums as are required from time
to time by the arbitrator to pay the arbitrator's fees and costs until the prevailing party is
determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and costs.
Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive upon
User and the Company and User and the Company's respective administrators, executors, legal
representatives, successors and assigns, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in no event shall either User or the Company be entitled
to punitive damages and both User and the Company hereby waive their respective rights to any
punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages
for any loss of profit, revenue or business. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply.
Submissions
User agrees that any materials, including but not limited to questions, comments, suggestions,
ideas, plans, notes, drawings, original or creative materials or other information, provided
by User in the form of e-mail or submissions to the Company, or postings on the Web site, are
non-confidential (subject to our Privacy Policy). We shall own exclusive rights, including all
intellectual property rights, and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use of these materials
for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to User. The
submission of any materials to the Company, including the posting of materials to any forum or
interactive area, irrevocably waives any and all "moral rights" in such materials, including
the rights of paternity and integrity.
User will not submit any of the following material to the Company, or post it on the Web site:
- material which threatens or abuses others, or which is defamatory or libelous, or which is invasive of another's privacy;
- material for which User does not have the right to post, including the proprietary material of any third party;
- material which advocates illegal activity or discusses an intent to commit an illegal act;
- material for advertising or commercial solicitation;
- material which is vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or indecent; or
- material which does not pertain directly to the subject matter of the particular forum.

The Company reserves the right to monitor Forums to determine compliance with these Terms and
Conditions, as well the right to remove or refuse to post any posting, including any of the
above postings upon discovery thereof. Notwithstanding these rights, User remains solely
responsible for the content of its postings. User acknowledges and agrees that neither the
Company nor any third party content provider will assume or have any liability for any action
or inaction by the Company or any third party content provider with respect to any posting on
the Forums. User will not (i) select or use a member name or e-mail address of another
person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use a user name or e-mail address
subject to the rights of any person without authorization; (iii) use a member name in violation
of the intellectual property rights of any person; or (iv) use a member name that the Company,
in its sole discretion, deems offensive.

proprietary graphic or trademark to link to the Web site without our express written permission.
