AMOC Website Registration Rules
The term "forum" refers to the Simplemachines Forum and any other public posting areas on the Aston Martin Owners Club website currently existing or to be added in the future.
Club Rules
1. You agree not to conduct any personal disputes with any other member on the forum. 2. You will not insult or defame anyone within the forum. 3. You will not use the forum in a manner so as to offend or cause distress to others. 4. You will not threaten another member, be that with physical force, legal action or any other form of personal attack within the forum. 5. If you do not or cannot agree to abide by these rules you will have your right of access to the forum withdrawn. 6. If you contravene these rules you will have your right of access to the forum withdrawn.
You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.
Note that it is impossible for the staff or the owners of this forum to confirm the validity of posts. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the posted messages, and as such, are not responsible for the content contained within. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented. The posted messages express the views of the author, and not necessarily the views of this forum, its staff, its subsidiaries, or this forum's owner. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator or moderator of this forum immediately. The staff and the owner of this forum reserve the right to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if they determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, please realize that they may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy applies to member profile information as well.
You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners of this forum, any related websites to this forum, its staff, and its subsidiaries. The owners of this forum also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any other related information collected on this service) in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from any situation caused by your use of this forum.
The forum is not to be used for advertisements of any kind. In particular the sale of cars is prohibited. Any attempt to post advertisements will see the postings deleted and account privileges withdrawn without further notice.
You have the ability, as you register, to choose your username. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password out to another person except an administrator, for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another person's account for any reason. We also HIGHLY recommend you use a complex and unique password for your account, to prevent account theft.
After you register and login to this forum, you will be able to fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information the forum owner or staff determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable.
Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded, in the event that you need to be banned from this forum or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.
Also note that the software places a cookie, a text file containing bits of information (such as your username and password), in your browser's cache. This is ONLY used to keep you logged in/out. The software does not collect or send any other form of information to your computer.
Postscript I would also call upon all members of the AMOC to remember that outside of the virtual clubhouse, we are all ambassadors for the club and the marque. It is therefore beholden upon us not to make postings on public forums that would ultimately bring the club, or Aston Martin, into disrepute. Next time something some politician, religious fanatic or service dealer has said or done that arouses your ire, reflect on that before you press the 'submit' button. One member confided to me that he now drafts his posts in a separate program and rereads it several times before finally posting. A wise example I respectfully suggest we may all do well to follow.
