Terms of Use

Unfortunately, I have to do this. Don’t take it personally, as I’ve customized what you’d usually read on a page like this.

Welcome to “Here”

Welcome to blindedbyscienter.com. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Blindedbyscienter.com was created for educational and (primarily) entertainment purposes. Whether you got here intentionally, by some cosmic aberration, disruption in the space-time continuum, unforeseen error in Al Gore’s impeccable internet design, or some other accidental means is completely irrelevant. The point is, you are here. And as long as you are here, you must agree to the Terms of Use presented on this page. Otherwise, you should make like a tree and get out of here.

Your use of this website enters you into an agreement with me. And I made the agreement, so I’m in charge. I reserve the right to modify this agreement whenever I please. So if I were you, I’d read this page very carefully, because you are bound to all Terms of Use as long as you’re here. Got it? Good.

Is my sarcasm overwhelming you yet? Don’t be offended. If you are, well….you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Access and Use

This website can only be used for personal & non-commercial purposes. All means of reproduction, distribution, publication, modification, copying or transmission of material from this site is strictly prohibited unless you have written permission from the owner of this website (that would be me). “Material” is defined as pretty much anything and everything on this site that is not noted to be the property of someone else, as in a footnote or hyperlink.

No endorsement of the viewpoints disclosed in this website should be implied, nor should they be inferred, regarding hypertext links both to and from blindedbyscienter.com. Translated in English, that means that unless I disclose otherwise, just assume that any link to a website that I provide, or any link from another website that you followed to get here doesn’t necessarily indicate that said website likes what I have to say. If they do, they’ll tell you themselves.

Indemnity

Since a third party hosts this website on its server, I cannot guarantee that this website is free from any viruses, trojans, or the like. Nor can I guarantee that everything you read here is 100% accurate, although I do try my best to be as accurate as possible. For example, if you fail a term paper by using material you find here, and your liberal professor fails you by claiming you’re legally insane, you cannot hold me liable. In fact, by the Terms and Use agreement stated here, you can’t hold me liable for anything at all.

That would even include if someone hijacks this site and posts something derogatory, or does something illegal. Personally, I hope it never happens.

In short, if you use this site, you agree to hold me, this website, and all associated parties completely harmless. I’m not liable for attorney’s fees if you use this site. I’m not even liable for anything if you’re a complete dumbazz and don’t know how to use this site. Or a computer, for that matter. I think you get it.

Animals

Animals are often consumed in the preparation of material for this website. I am known to chow down on the following while drawing comics:

Chicken (fried, battered, grilled, and/or “nuggeted”)

Cows (burgers, steak)

Pigs (pork chops, hot dogs, ham sandwiches with honey mustard)

Go Green!

Actually, I don’t. I offer no promotions here in the name of saving trees. In fact, I sharpen my teeth by gnawing on birch bark.

Going green is for the brainwashed — or greenwashed, if you prefer the term.

Similarities

Any similarity whatsoever between any characters on Blinded by Scienter and the real world (which, by the way, is not warming) is completely coincidental. Nothing whatsoever is implied, nor should it be inferred.

Copyright Infringment

If you believe that your copyright has been infringed somewhere in the material on this site, you should e-mail the webmaster immediately. I’m a reasonable guy, depending on who you are and what your argument is.

Now go get some popcorn. Or coffee, if you prefer. I have no idea when you’re reading this. Who do you think I am, the Messiah? The President?

Privacy

Let’s keep it short: I don’t sell e-mail addresses I get from comments, complaints, store orders, advertising requests, or webmaster inquiries. I’m sick of getting e-mails about viagra and cialis myself. Nuff said.
