OF TERMS
RESCoalition Inc. ("RESCoalition")
welcomes you. RESCoalition provides its
service to you subject to the following
Terms of Service ("TOS"), which
may be updated by us from time to time without
notice to you. In addition, when using particular
RESCoalition owned or operated services,
you and RESCoalition shall be subject to
any posted guidelines or rules applicable
to such services, which may be posted from
time to time. All such guidelines or rules
are hereby incorporated by reference into
the TOS.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
RESCoalition provides users with access
to a rich collection of resources, including
various communications tools, forums, and
personalized content which may be accessed
through any various medium or device now
known or hereafter developed (the "Service").
You also understand and agree that the Service
may include advertisements and that these
advertisements are necessary for RESCoalition
to assist us in reducing costs to you. You
also understand and agree that the Service
may include certain communications from
RESCoalition, such as service announcements,
administrative messages and the RESCoalition
Newsletter, and that these communications
are considered part of RESCoalition membership
and you will not be able to opt out of receiving
them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise,
any new features that augment or enhance
the current Service, including the release
of new RESCoalition properties, shall be
subject to the TOS. You understand and agree
that the Service is provided "AS-IS"
and that RESCoalition assumes no responsibility
for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery
or failure to store any user communications
or personalization settings. You are responsible
for obtaining access to the Service, and
that access may involve third-party fees
(such as Internet service provider or airtime
charges). You are responsible for those
fees, including those fees associated with
the display or delivery of advertisements.
In addition, you must provide and are responsible
for all equipment necessary to access the
Service.
3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
In consideration of your use of the Service,

suspect that such information is untrue,
inaccurate, not current or incomplete, RESCoalition
has the right to suspend or terminate your

are the sole responsibility of the person

means that you, and not RESCoalition, are
entirely responsible for all Content that
you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise

make available any material that contains
software viruses or any other computer code,
files or programs designed to interrupt,
destroy or limit the functionality of any
computer software or hardware or telecommunications
equipment;

cause a screen to "scroll" faster
than other users of the Service are able

You acknowledge that RESCoalition may

RESCoalition and its designees shall have
the right (but not the obligation) in their
sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or
move any Content that is available via the
Service. Without limiting the foregoing,
RESCoalition and its designees shall have
the right to remove any Content that violates
the TOS or is otherwise objectionable. You
agree that you must evaluate, and bear all
risks associated with, the use of any Content,
including any reliance on the accuracy,
completeness, or usefulness of such Content.
In this regard, you acknowledge that you
may not rely on any Content created by RESCoalition
or submitted to RESCoalition, including
without limitation information in RESCoalition
Message Boards and in all other parts of
the Service.
You acknowledge, consent and agree that
RESCoalition may access, preserve and disclose
your account information and Content if
required to do so by law or in a good faith
belief that such access preservation or
disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a)
comply with legal process; (b) enforce the
TOS; (c) respond to claims that any Content
violates the rights of third parties; (d)
respond to your requests for customer service;
or (e) protect the rights, property or personal
safety of RESCoalition, its users and the
public.
You understand that the technical processing
and transmission of the Service, including
your Content, may involve (a) transmissions
over various networks; and (b) changes to
conform and adapt to technical requirements
of connecting networks or devices.
You understand that the Service and software
embodied within the Service may include
security components that permit digital
materials to be protected, and that use
of these materials is subject to usage rules
set by RESCoalition and/or content providers
who provide content to the Service. You
may not attempt to override or circumvent
any of the usage rules embedded into the
Service. Any unauthorized reproduction,
publication, further distribution or public
exhibition of the materials provided on
the Service, in whole or in part, is strictly
prohibited.
7. INTERSTATE NATURE OF COMMUNICATIONS
ON RESCoalition NETWORK
When you register with RESCoalition, you
acknowledge that in using RESCoalition services
to send electronic communications (including
but not limited to email, search queries,
sending messages to RESCoalition Groups,
uploading photos and files to RESCoalition
Photos or Briefcase, and other Internet
activities), you will be causing communications
to be sent through RESCoalition's computer
network, portions of which are located in
California, Texas, Virginia, and other locations
in the United States and portions of which
are located abroad. As a result, and also
as a result of RESCoalition’s network
architecture and business practices and
the nature of electronic communications,
even communications that seem to be intrastate
in nature can result in the transmission
of interstate communications regardless
of where you are physically located at the
time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing
to this Terms of Service, you acknowledge
that use of the service results in interstate
data transmissions.
8. SPECIAL ADMONITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL
USE
Recognizing the global nature of the Internet,
you agree to comply with all local rules
regarding online conduct and acceptable
Content. Specifically, you agree to comply
with all applicable laws regarding the transmission
of technical data exported from the United
States or the country in which you reside.
9. CONTENT SUBMITTED OR MADE AVAILABLE
FOR INCLUSION ON THE SERVICE
RESCoalition does not claim ownership

Groups, the license to use, distribute,
reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform
and publicly display such Content on the
Service solely for the purposes of providing
and promoting the specific RESCoalition
Group to which such Content was submitted
or made available. This license exists
only for as long as you elect to continue
to include such Content on the Service
and will terminate at the time you remove

adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform
and publicly display such Content (in
whole or in part) and to incorporate such
Content into other works in any format
or medium now known or later developed.
"Publicly accessible" areas
of the Service are those areas of the RESCoalition
network of properties that are intended
by RESCoalition to be available to the general
public. By way of example, publicly accessible
areas of the Service would include RESCoalition
Message Boards and portions of RESCoalition

make available through the Service, your
use of the Service, your connection to the
Service, your violation of the TOS, or your
violation of any rights of another.
11. NO RESALE OF SERVICE

Your correspondence or business dealings
with, or participation in promotions of,
