Terms

Now that I have my own site, I've decided to add these terms and conditions in order to protect myself and the content of the site. The idea for this, and the content itself, is taken directly from Zeroair's terms page.

UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY AGREED UPON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SENDING PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS FOR REVIEW AND FOR PUBLISHING REVIEWS OF PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

  1. These Terms and Conditions are effective immediately, apply to any and all samples and materials sent, and override any previous agreements, verbal, written, or otherwise. We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time and without notice. Henceforth, bmengineer shall be referred to as “the author” in the following texts.
  2. All samples and materials sent to bmengineer.com or the author become the property of the author. Samples and materials sent to bmengineer.com or the author will NOT be returned to the sender. Requests to have the samples and materials returned will not be fulfilled.
  3. You agree not to charge bmengineer.com or the author any fees, costs, or other compensatory charges in exchange for keeping samples and materials sent for review.
  4. Samples and materials sent for review may be damaged or destroyed in the reviewing process.
  5. You agree not to hold bmengineer.com or the author liable for the cost of samples and materials that are lost or damaged in the shipping process, either to or from bmengineer.com.
  6. By sending samples and materials for review you agree to the following:
    1. The review will be published on the Internet in full public view. The choice of forums and sites is up to me, and the review will be linked to the post kept on this site. I will also link to my own review in postings on various forums and sites, as I deem appropriate. Currently, I publish all my reviews on my own website (bmengineer.com). There are no guarantees that the review will be posted anywhere but here.
    2. You take the risk of the review being unfavorable. You accept the fact that unfavorable reviews will still be published.
    3. You accept the fact that the honest opinions of the reviewer will be stated in the review.
    4. You accept that, although an honest attempt will be made to accurately represent information about the product or materials being reviewed, no guarantees are made as to the accuracy of the information presented in the review.
    5. You agree not to hold bmengineer.com or the author liable in any way for damages, consequential or otherwise, that result from your participation in the review process.
    6. Review materials become the property of the author and will NOT be returned.
  7. If you send samples or materials for review that have already been reviewed on the site, the following applies:
    1. If the author mistakenly told you that the author had not reviewed the samples or materials, the author will ship them back to you at the author’s cost.
    2. If you sent the samples or materials without confirming that they had not yet been reviewed, the author can either keep the samples or materials, or ship them back at your cost. This is your choice.
  8. Reviews are generally completed in the order received. A variety of factors may affect the order of the reviews. No guarantee is made that they will be completed in the order received.
  9. Demands on the author’s time dictate the rate at which reviews will be completed. No guarantee is made regarding the time it will take to complete and post reviews.
  10. Review format may vary and include or exclude various tests, descriptions, and features. No guarantee is made regarding the format or contents of the review.
  11. I will add an acknowledgement to the review that you provided the sample for review, but that all opinions contained within the review are my own.
BY SENDING SAMPLES OR MATERIALS FOR REVIEW, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS LISTED ABOVE.

If you do not agree with any of the above stated terms or conditions, DO NOT send samples or materials for review.
