A- EMPIRIX QAZONE FORUM LEGAL AGREEMENT

1. GENERAL
1.1 This Agreement governs your use of the Empirix QAZone Forum ("Forum") which is operated by Empirix Inc. ("Empirix").
1.2 Empirix reserves the right, in its discretion, to change or modify all or any part of this Agreement at any time, effective immediately upon notice published on the Forum. Your continued use of the Forum constitutes your binding acceptance of these terms and conditions, including any changes or modifications made by Empirix as permitted above. If at any time the terms and conditions of this Agreement are no longer acceptable to you, you should immediately cease use of the Forum.

2. USE OF CONTENT
2.1 You acknowledge that the Forum may contain information, software, links and other material (collectively, the "Content") that is protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights of Empirix or third parties.
2.2 You may post on the Forum any Content owned by you (such as your original statements), Content for which you have received express permission from the owner, and Content in the public domain (collectively, "User Content") and you assume all risk for determining whether any such User Content is in the public domain. You grant to Empirix the right to edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium (whether now known or hereafter discovered), any User Content that you place on the Forum, without compensation to you. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to grant all rights set forth in the preceding sentence. You may not advertise or solicit your own goods or services or jobs on the Forum.
2.3 You may not modify, publish, transmit, transfer or sell, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit any Content other than the User Content ("Third Party Content"), in whole or in part, except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement. Third Party Content consisting of downloadable software may not be reverse engineered unless specifically authorized by the owner of the software's patent and/or copyright unless and to the extent permitted under applicable law.
2.4 You may download or copy the Third Party Content only for your own personal, noncommercial use, provided that you maintain all copyright and other notices contained in such Third Party Content. You shall not store electronically any significant portion of such Third Party Content. Except as expressly permitted by the copyright laws, no copying, storage, redistribution or publication of such Third Party Content is permitted without the express permission of Empirix or the owners of such Third Party Content or their authorized persons, if other than Empirix. You may download from the Forum any Third Party Content in the public domain for your own personal use or for non-commercial redistribution; provided, however, that you assume all risk and responsibility for determining whether such Third Party Content is in the public domain.

3. RULES OF CONDUCT
You shall not post on the Forum any User Content which (a) is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, profane, abusive, harassing or threatening, (b) contains viruses or other contaminating or destructive features, (c) violates the rights of others, such as User Content which infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or any other intellectual property right or which violates any right of privacy or publicity, (e) violates any laws regarding unfair competition, or (e) otherwise violates any applicable law. You may not post on the Forum any links to any external Internet sites that are obscene or pornographic. You shall not use the Forum for any commercial purpose or to distribute any advertising or solicitation of funds or goods.

4. MANAGING CONTENT
Empirix is not responsible for and assumes no liability with respect to the Content posted by users on the Forum. However, Empirix reserves the right to delete, move or edit any Content that it may determine, in its sole discretion, violates this Agreement or is otherwise unacceptable. Empirix shall have the right, but not the obligation, to correct any errors or omissions in any Content, as it may determine in its sole discretion. You shall remain solely responsible for all User Content.

5. NO ENDORSEMENT
5.1 Empirix does not represent or endorse the accuracy or reliability of any Content posted in any Forum and you acknowledge that any reliance upon such Content shall be at your sole risk. Any Content placed in the Forum by users are the views of the user posting the statement, and do not represent the views of Empirix.
5.2 The Forum may contain links to sites on the Internet which are owned and operated by third parties (the "External Sites"). You acknowledge that Empirix is not responsible for the availability of, or the content located on or through, any External Site. You should contact the site administrator or Webmaster for those External Sites if you have any concerns regarding such links or the content located on such External Sites.

6. INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Empirix and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, owners, agents, information providers and licensors (collectively, the "Empirix Parties") harmless from and against any and all claims, liability, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any Empirix Party in connection with any use or alleged use of the Forum under your username and/or password by any person, whether or not authorized by you. Empirix reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with Empirix's defense of such claim.

7. TERMINATION OF QAZONE FORUM
Empirix reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to restrict, suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Forum at any time for any reason without prior notice or liability. Without limiting the preceding sentence, your access to the Forum will be suspended, in appropriate circumstances, if you post materials that infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Empirix may change, suspend or discontinue all or any aspect of the Forum at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or Content, without prior notice or liability.

8. NOTIFICATION OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

a. a physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest that is alleged to have been infringed; 
b. a description of the copyrighted work or works that you claim have been infringed and identification of what material in such work(s) is claimed to be infringing and which you request to be removed or access to which is to be disabled;

9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
9.1 EMPIRIX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FORUM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES EMPIRIX MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE FORUM OR THE CONTENT. THE FORUM AND THE CONTENT ARE DISTRIBUTED ON AN "AS IS, AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. EMPIRIX DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE FORUM, ANY CONTENT OR ANY PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THE FORUM. NEITHER EMPIRIX NOR ANY THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDER WARRANTS THAT ANY FILES AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOADING THROUGH THE FORUM WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR SIMILAR CONTAMINATING OR DESTRUCTIVE FEATURES. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FORUM AND THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE CONTENT IS ASSUMED SOLELY BY YOU.
9.2 NEITHER EMPIRIX, ANY THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDER NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE FORUM EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
9.3 Some states may not allow exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. Some states may also not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. In such states, the liability of Empirix, third party content providers and their respective agents shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

10. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. Empirix's failure to act with respect to a breach by you does not waive Empirix's right to act with respect to subsequent breaches.

11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement.
I am authorized to, and do, agree to the terms and conditions of the Empirix QAZONE Forum Legal Agreement.
