Terms of Service



Here's The Boring Official Version (you'll need a snack).

Here's the general idea:

We pledge to do our best for you in improving your computing experience while keeping your costs down; however, you assume the entire risk of using any product or service we provide.  We will not cause additional problems, but it isn't possible to completely account for the effects of pre-existing problems.

Our intellectual works are copyrighted - all rights reserved.  You and your agents are forbidden to take possession of it, or create derivative works, without our prior written authorization.

We encourage you to post hyperlinks to our site as long as you do not portray us or our products or services in a false, misleading, derogatory, or offensive manner.  You must not incorporate a display or derivative use of any portion of our site in another web site - such as within frames.

You assume all responsibility for pursuing recourse with third party vendors whose products and/or services we may make available.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, with or without reason.

Your use of any of our products and/or services constitutes your agreement to the Official Version of these terms.


Privacy


  "Your privacy is important to us ..."
Ever see that one?  And what follows is a litany of sham concern and a grocery list of all the strange bedfellows who have "rights" to your information.  They share it under the covers "privately" of course!

Our policy is simple:

Under electronic, physical, and procedural security, we retain the minimum information which we feel is needed to effectively conduct business with you, and we do not share any of it except by mutual agreement or court order.

We do not collect information about you from your visits to our site.  When you visit our site or send us e-mail, we do not "enroll" you to receive an endless supply of spam e-mail, and we don't plant adware, spyware, or malware on your computer.  We work to eliminate this stuff, not spread it around; so the only way we'll get to know you is if you contact us!


External Sites


This site contains links to other web sites.  By clicking such links, you navigate away from LauverSystems.com and connect to those sites.  They have their own terms of use and policies on privacy and the use of cookies.

Although we post links only to sites which we believe are trustworthy, Lauver Systems is not responsible for the content or behavior of external web sites.


Content


This entire site is family friendly and safe for your kids and your computer.  We create and control all of our content, and we review external sites before we post links to them.

Our page addresses all begin with http://lauversystems.com/ (or http://www.lauversystems.com/) - check your browser's address bar to verify.

We use JavaScript only for functionality and some enhancements.  If your browser presents a security message about "active content" in our pages, you can safely allow it.

We do use small temporary cookies, which expire in one day, to improve presentation.  We do not use cookies to store information about you.

   
This DHTML site is 100% W3C compliant CSS2 and XHTML 1.0 code.  Hover this text to read more.
W3C Compliant Site
We are entitled by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) to display these icons on all of our pages, but we think that's too distracting.  You can visit a code validator by clicking one of the icons.
   

Why no eye-popping graphics or exotic animation?  Rest your eyes and work your brain.  We'd rather teach than entertain.

All of our pages and graphics are hand coded and drawn, and we use minimal animation.  This lowers our maintenance and server overhead, ensures our code is safe and error free, and allows your computer to display our site without stress.

If you have visual difficulty distinguishing colors of similar intensity, and if you're using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, you can switch the scroll bar coloration to light or dark from the Color Themes menu at left:

hover the mouse pointer over Color Themes to expand the menu, then click Scrollbar Color.


Conduct


  1. In a word:  Enjoy!
  2. Spread the word.

Disclaimer


Some people have been known to suffer shock or irrational laughter upon discovering easy answers to difficult problems.  Others have experienced side-effects, ranging from minor cynicism to extreme disbelief, when given free stuff that actually has value.  Several have been caught daydreaming because they finished their work ahead of schedule, and were put at risk of increased workload.

If you experience any of these symptoms from using our services, our maximum liability shall be to admit that we did it, and we're glad.
