Enforcement

The team may investigate and prosecute violations of these terms to the fullest legal extent. The team may notify and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting violations of the law and these terms.

The team reserves the right to change, redact, and delete content on the forum for any reason. If you believe someone has submitted content to the forum in violation of these terms, contact us immediately.

Your Account

You must create and log into an account to use some features of the forum.

To create an account, you must provide some information about yourself. If you create an account, you agree to provide, at a minimum, a valid e-mail address, and to keep that address up-to-date. You may close your account at any time by e-mailing admin@bfforums.com.

You agree to be responsible for all action taken using your account, whether authorized by you or not, until you either close your account or notify the team that your account has been compromised. You agree to notify the team immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised. You agree to select a secure password for your account, and keep it secret.

The team may restrict, suspend, or close your account on the forum according to its policy for handling copyright-related takedown requests, or if the team reasonably believes that you’ve broken any rule in these terms.

Your Content

Nothing in these terms gives the team any ownership rights in intellectual property that you share with the forum, such as your account information, posts, or other content you submit to the forum. Nothing in these terms gives you any ownership rights in the team’s intellectual property, either.

Between you and the team, you remain solely responsible for content you submit to the forum. You agree not to wrongly imply that content you submit to the forum is sponsored or approved by the team. These terms do not obligate the team to store, maintain, or provide copies of content you submit, and to change it, according to these terms.

Content you submit to the forum belongs to you, and you decide what permission to give others for it. But at a minimum, you license the team to provide content that you submit to the forum to other users of the forum. That special license allows the team to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the forum.

When content you submit is removed from the forum, whether by you or by the team, the team’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from the team’s backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you apply to content you submit, such as Creative Commons licenses, may continue after your content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or the team itself, the right to share your content through the forum again.

Others who receive content you submit to the forum may violate the terms on which you license your content. You agree that the team will not be liable to you for those violations or their consequences.

Disclaimers

You accept all risk of using the forum and content on the forum. As far as the law allows, the team and its suppliers provide the forum as is, without any warranty whatsoever.

The forum may hyperlink to and integrate forums and services run by others. The team does not make any warranty about services run by others, or content they may provide. Use of services run by others may be governed by other terms between you and the one running service.

Feedback

The team welcomes your feedback and suggestions for the forum. See the Contact section below for ways to get in touch with us.

You agree that the team will be free to act on feedback and suggestions you provide, and that the team won’t have to notify you that your feedback was used, get your permission to use it, or pay you. You agree not to submit feedback or suggestions that you believe might be confidential or proprietary, to you or others.

Termination

Either you or the team may end the agreement written out in these terms at any time. When our agreement ends, your permission to use the forum also ends.

The following provisions survive the end of our agreement: Your Content, Feedback, Your Responsibility, Disclaimers, Limits on Liability, and General Terms.

Contact

You may notify the team under these terms, and send questions to the team, at admin@bfforums.com.

The team may notify you under these terms using the e-mail address you provide for your account on the forum, or by posting a message to the homepage of the forum or your account page.

Changes

The team last updated these terms on May 15, 2019, and may update these terms again. The team will post all updates to the forum. For updates that contain substantial changes, the team agrees to e-mail you, if you’ve created an account and provided a valid e-mail address. The team may also announce updates with special messages or alerts on the forum.

Once you get notice of an update to these terms, you must agree to the new terms in order to keep using the forum.
