\u201cOmar for Aurora\u201d are registered trademarks of Omar for Aurora Media. Don\u2019t use them without permission or we have to send you a lawyerly letter. We don\u2019t like having to do so, but the law requires us to do so.<\/p>\n
All site content written by Omar for Aurora staff is published under an open content license. That is, anyone can republish it anywhere, for any purpose, without written permission. That\u2019s not a typo. WITHOUT.<\/p>\n
Photos, on the other hand, are owned by the photographers and you should assume that they are NOT in the public domain. Don\u2019t steal them unless they are attributed to Wikicommons or other public domain sources.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t try to rip off our site brand. We will pursue and shut down any site attempting to mimic our look and feel with sound-alike URLs or common misspellings. We have done it before, and we will do it again.<\/p>\n
Site content written by community members belongs to the individual authors. Those authors are free to determine their own copyright. Currently, that copyright defaults to an open content (public domain) license. Authors are free to change that license at their own discretion.<\/p>\n
Obviously, if you are posting on the site, you\u2019ve given us permission to publish it. It\u2019s kinda the point of the site. And by doing so, you also give us the right to further distribute that content in our affiliated outlets, like our Facebook page, email, etc. If you\u2019ve got something worth reading, we\u2019ll try and get more people to read it. Again, that\u2019s kinda the point of the site.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t plagiarize. We have a zero-tolerance policy toward stealing other people\u2019s content or identity.<\/p>\n
If you defame someone, it\u2019s your ass on the line. Don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Keep your behavior civil and within the confines of polite society. In other words, don\u2019t be a dick.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t steal content. Just because you attribute content to its rightful author doesn\u2019t mean you can copy and paste whatever you want.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t steal pictures. Either get the proper license or find your perfect image in the public domain.<\/p>\n
Generally speaking, if you screw up and suffer harm from any violation of these Terms and Conditions, it\u2019s your problem, not ours. We aren\u2019t liable. However, at our discretion, we reserve the right to engage in the legal defense of any attacks on our community\u2019s First Amendment rights or other such critical issues.<\/p>\n
Our site is available \u201cas is.\u201d Sometimes, our servers go down. Sometimes, a site feature breaks. Sometimes, a reported \u201cfact\u201d turns out to be an error. Sometimes a candidate we endorsed turns out to be a dud. While we aspire to perfection, chances are we\u2019ll occasionally come up short. You can\u2019t send us back to the manufacturer for a full refund.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s not under a Omar for Aurora Media-owned site, it\u2019s not our responsibility or problem. And linking to a site doesn\u2019t change that pretty obvious fact.<\/p>\n
If we receive a subpoena issued by a court or from a law enforcement or government agency, we may comply with such subpoenas with or without your consent (depending on the facts of the situation) and provide whatever information we may have for your account. If we feel the subpoena is in error or overly broad, we may also decide to fight it.<\/p>\n
Reiterating what\u2019s been said before in plain English, but this time in legalese to make our lawyer happy:<\/p>\n
Omar for Aurora and its affiliates, and their respective members, directors, officers, managers, employees, shareholders, agents and licensors are not liable for incidental, indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind, including, without limitation, lost revenues or profits, loss of business or loss of data, in any way related to this site or for any claim, loss or injury based on errors, omissions, interruptions or other inaccuracies in our site (including, without limitation, as a result of breach of any warranty or other term of these Terms and Conditions). Any claim against us shall be limited to the amount you paid, if any, for use of our site.<\/p>\n
