Forum rules

5. Your Participation in and Postings on Forums.

5.1 Forums. "Forum" means a discussion group, chat area, social networking service or any other bulletin board or email function provided by this Site in which visitors post or otherwise contribute information. By using any Forum, you agree that you will comply with the rules, representations and warranties set forth in this section.

5.2 Registration Information. If you are required to register in order to participate in a Forum, the information you provide during the registration process must be accurate and complete. You agree not to: (a) register more than once or use more than one username; (b) register under the name of any other person or chose a username that suggests you are, or are affiliated with, any other person or entity; (c) select a username that is offensive; (d) choose a username or provide information that is deceptive or misleading to others or that incorporates a solicitation.

5.3 Transmissions. While you will own all messages, material, information and ideas you transmit to or post on this Site (each, a "Transmission"), including without limitation on any Forum; however, you grant (or warrant that the owner of the rights to those Transmissions has expressly granted) to Overlanding Association a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, transmit and display those Transmissions and to incorporate the Transmissions into any other works in any form, media or technology now know or developed in the future, and Overlanding Association may use or disclose those Transmissions for any purpose, including without limitation developing, manufacturing and marketing goods and/or services, and you warrant that all "moral rights" in those Transmissions have been waived. Overlanding Association will treat those Transmissions as non-confidential and non-proprietary; however, Overlanding Association will handle all personal data provided to Overlanding Association in the manner provided in Overlanding Association Privacy Policy. By sending any Transmission to this Site, you agree that (a) the Transmission does not (i) violate any law, regulation or third party right; (ii) contain any nudity, pornographic or other adult material; (iii) contain any obscenities or material that libels, slanders or defames any person, facility or product; (iv) invade the privacy of any person, infringe the copyright, trademark, trade secret right or other proprietary rights of any person, constitute an unfair or improper trade practice or other wrongful business conduct; (v) contain any instructions or discussions about illegal activities; (vi) encourage or promote any illegal activity or racism; (v) promote or utilize software or services designed to deliver unsolicited e-mail or to circumvent protective technologies in violation of law; (b) you will not (i) use this Site for any commercial purpose, including without limitation advertisements; (ii) solicit funds, goods or services; (iii) solicit other visitors to this Site to join or become a member of any commercial online club, service or other organization; (iv) post chain letters or pyramid schemes; (v) post a link to any site that contains or does any of the prohibited actions described in subsection (a) above or this subsection (b); or (c) you will not impersonate another person.

5.4 Member Profiles. Your profile will be available to all visitors of the Forum. Do not include in your profile, give out to others or display in any Forum any information that you do not want made public. Disclosure of your full name, email address, street address, phone number or password creates safety risks and may result in unsolicited communications.

5.5 Monitoring. The content of each Forum is created by visitors to that Forum and those visitors are solely responsible for that content. Overlanding Association does not represent or warrant the reliability, accuracy or truthfulness of that content. Although Overlanding Association is not obligated to do so, it may monitor Transmissions posted on the Forums. Because Overlanding Association does not monitor Transmissions on a constant, real time basis, please report any objectionable postings to us at admin@Overlanding Association.com or as described on every Member Profile page in the Forum.

5.6 Termination of Forum Membership: Overlanding Association can without any prior notice, terminate your forum access (user banning) if you are found to be breaking forum rules, terms of service and/or indulging in practices counterproductive to the growth and image of Overlanding Association. Any individual banned from Overlanding Association, would not be allowed to reregister under a different username and anyone found to be indulging in the same, can be held liable for legal action.
