waynew Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Can anyone see any loopholes in my terms and conditions? They're quite extensive. http://mytestserver.net78.net/termsandconditions.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132842-terms-and-conditions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropfaith Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 seem good but i would change starting the lines with NOT to something more grammatical like DO NOT not just looks funny as the first word to me it could just be me tho Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132842-terms-and-conditions/#findComment-690865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmanronald06 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 NOT seems so un professional. I'd go with something like the following: By registering with MySoshial.com you agree the following: No member may break international laws, local laws, state laws and/or national laws while using this website. This means that you agree not to break any law or regulation that applies to you or your local jurisdiction. You agree that you are solely responsible for all omissions that occur under your account, including content transmitted by you or your account. No member may abuse, bully, threaten, defame, stalk and/or violate the rights of others. Members may not publish anything that is harmful, hateful, obscene, libelous, profane, unlawful and/or damaging to another person(s). Members may not upload images that show violence, nudity, strong language, pornography, copyright material, or any other kind of image that infringes on the rights of others - and/or brings (or may bring) the website into disrepute. Members may not infringe on any copyright and/or trademark without written permission from the owner. Members who falsely impersonate another body and/or person will not be tolerated. No member will modify or attempt to modify the website and/or service in anyway.

nrg_alpha Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Here is my take... The very start of (1: Changes to the Terms and Conditions:) you list 'The owner and/or operators of MySoshial.com', which could be reformed as such: 'The owner and/or operators of MySoshial.com (herein represented as MySoshial.com)...' This way, from this point forward, you can simply state 'MySoshial.com' instead of using 'The owner and/or operators of MySoshial.com' any further... which leads to down the list to number 2.. you can simply state 'MySoshial.com reserves the right to change, modify, add...' In point 4 (4: Username and Password), instead of 'We also reserve the right to take away your username...' if you follow the above advice, you can simply state 'MySoshial.com also reserves the right to take away your username...'. As for the NOT situtaion.. I would list it as such: By registering with MySoshial.com you agree not to: break international laws, local laws, state laws and/or national laws while using this website. This means that you agree NOT TO break any law or regulation that applies to you or your local jurisdiction. You agree that you are solely responsible for all omissions that occur under your account, including content transmitted by you or your account. abuse, bully, threaten, defame, stalk and/or violate the rights of others. publish anything that is harmful, hateful, obscene, libelous, profane, unlawful and/or damaging to another person(s)... etc...etc... Having all those NOTs are redundant..Instead, include a single 'not' in the agreement statement (basically what Filmgod is saying).

Stooney Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I would follow how large corporations word things as it's usually the better way (they hire good lawyers to do it). For example, Blizzard Entertainment http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html ....you may not: 1. Transmit or post any content or language which... 2. Carry out any action with a disruptive effect... Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132842-terms-and-conditions/#findComment-692977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 1. Transmit or post any content or language which... Hrmmm strange. Grammatically "which" should be "that" in that first example.
