I run these sites (<a href="http://ad-rag.com">adland,</a> and <a href="http://commercial-archive.com">commercial-archive.com</a>)
so that people like you (and people you like) can use it for personal
entertainment, information, education, communication, and a fun waste
of office hours. So go ahead and browse around all you like. You can even
download stuff from the site but <b>only</b> for non-commercial, personal
use. If you do, though, don't fool around with the copyright and other
notices all over the stuff. They're there for a really good reason. And
don't even think about distributing, modifying, transmitting, reusing,
re-posting, or anything else uncool with any of the stuff, including the
text, images, audio, and video, for public or commercial purposes unless
I give you, or more importantly, the owner of that copyright/trademark/brand/written
work gives you <u>written permission. </u>
</font></font>
<p>
<font size="2" face="VERDANA, ARIAL,GENEVA,HELVETICA"> If you visit my site
Adland, or commercial-archives' site you're also legally obligated to the
terms and conditions listed below and any other law or regulation that applies
to the site, the Internet, the World Wide Web, or California U.S.A. You
shouldn't access or browse the site if you have any problem with that, because
once you start, there's no turning back -- you are bound by the terms and
conditions. <br>

<li> For everyone's sake, just assume that everything on the site is copyrighted
unless I say it's not. So you can't use the stuff except how I say you
can on this page or anywhere else on the site without my written permission.
You cannot repost, redistribute or even QUOTE any of the text or images
from this site anywhere without written permission from me! The text
and rants belong to me, the images of the ads belong to the advertisers
and the text from books belong to their publishers.It's not likely that
I or the owners of their respective copyrights will give you permission
anyway. In fact, even if I wanted to, those dang lawyers are likely
to veto any deal anyway. So it's better you don't even ask.
<p>
<li> Reading (stealing) bits of my HTML code however, doesn't bug me at
all. Go ahead if you want to. I can't really stop you and can't be bothered
trying. If you steal the <i><b>contents</b></i> of these sites however,
I'll turn nasty. Content <u>includes</u> everything written by me, and
guestspeakers, on these sites. Any images on Adland and UN Ltd.tm are
copyrighted by Dabitch and UN ltd and their respective clients. Don't
even think of touching that.
<p>
<li> While I try to include accurate stuff on the site, I'm not promising
you it's accurate. In fact, I'm not promising you anything except fun
and entertainment. So if you use stuff on the site, you're doing it
at your own risk. Don't call me if there's a problem because I assume
no liability or responsibility for errors or omissions on the site.
<p>
<li> If you don't want the world to know something, don't post in on the
site in any bulletin board or anyplace else. That's because anything
you disclose to me is mine. That's right -- mine. So I can do anything
I want with the stuff you post. I can reproduce it, disclose it, transmit
it, publish it, broadcast it, and post it someplace else. I can even
send it to your mother (as soon as I find her address). Not only that,
I can even use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques you post
anyway I want to, including, developing, manufacturing and marketing
products or other stuff using the information you post. Not that I would
care to, but I could, ok?
<p>
<li> You'll probably notice I've linked my site to lots of others. While
that's cool, it doesn't mean I've looked <i>that close</i> at all those
sites, much less checked them out periodically to see what's going on.
So don't blame me if some site you link to is bad or has stuff on it
that offends you or your pets. Go ahead and and surf the links, but
remember, it at your own risk.. Mmmm'K?.
<p>
<li> That brings me to what you do on my own site. While I occasionally
look at the posting in my discussion groups or in my guest book, I take
no responsibility and assume no liability for the content of those locations
or for any mistakes, defamation, libel, slander, omissions, falsehoods,
obscenity, pornography, or profanity you might encounter when you visit
such places on my site. And don't be stupid by posting or transmitting
any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous,
inflammatory, pornographic, nasty, mean, or profane material or any
material that law enforcement types my consider a criminal offense,
get someone in court on a civil lawsuit, or for that matter violate
any law -- anywhere, anytime. While I certainly respect your privacy
and right to free speech, I have no choice but to fully cooperate with
any law enforcement authorities or court which might ask me who might
have posted nasty stuff on my site.
<p>
<li> Software that I put up on these sites is protected by all sorts of
patriotic U.S. laws. Because of that, you can't download or send the
software to anyone in the vacation travel spots of <font color="#993300">Cuba,
Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Iran, Syria,</font> or any other country where
United States has embargoed goods; or (get this) to anyone on the <font color="#993300">United
States Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals</font>,
the<font color="#993300"> U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Deny Orders</font>,
or the <font color="#993300">FBI's Most Wanted Internet Creeps List</font>
(ok, so I'm just kidding on that last one). As if that were not tough
enough, if you live in or are a national of any of those lovely places,
you're not even supposed to be reading this page, so get the f*ck outta
here!
<p>
<li> I'm also allowed to change this page and anything else on the site
any time I want to. That's because it's mine and I have means to do
so. If I do change the page, then you're bound by those changes, too,
whenever you visit my site. Tough.
<p>
<li> Pictures of people or places shown on the site are either my property
or someone else's property. No matter what, it's definitely not your
property. You or any of your net-friends can't use it unless I said
you can on this page or somewhere else on the site. And guess what --
I won't say yes. So be careful, kid, because unauthorized use may violate
all sorts of nasty laws. Be smart, keep the stuff you download to yourself.
<p>
<li> There's also a lot of trademarks, logos, and service marks on the
site that either I own or I'm using with someone else's permission.
So don't think you have any kind of license or right to use them, because
you don't and I'm not about to give you one. If you don't leave them
alone and mess with my trademarks, logos and service marks on my site,
I'll probably get real nasty; so will the companies that own the other
trademarks, logos and service marks. That means that I'm likely to sue
you or to ask a prosecutor to come after you for messing around with
my property or the property of others.
<p>
<li> I and anybody else who helped me create, produce, or deliver the
site are not liable for any damages you suffer when you use it. In particular,
my lawyers want you to know that my disclaimer includes "direct, incidental,
consequential, indirect, or punitive damages arising out of your access
to, or use of, the site. Without limiting the foregoing, everything
on the site is provided to you 'AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
NON INFRINGEMENT.<br>
Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied
warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Check
your local laws for any restrictions or limitations regarding the exclusion
of implied warranties. " Alright, so that was unreadable legal bull,
but here's the bottom line -- I'm not responsible if you're browsing
around and the site damages you or your computer or infects it with
any nasty viruses. I seriously doubt that can happen, but if it does,
don't call me.
<p>
<li> I Can't belive you've read this far. Did you have fun? <br>
