Terms of Use

 

General Overture Services, Inc. and, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively "Overture") provide you with access to this Web site and the services available on this Web site, or other Web sites as indicated below, (collectively, the "Services," which will be defined more under the Section, "Services."). Access to and use of the Services is governed by these Terms of Use (the "Agreement"). By accessing or using the Services, you indicate your assent to be bound by the Agreement, and your acknowledgment of and agreement to its terms. 

 

Services 

 

The Services include Overture Search (located at www.overture.com) (the "Search Services"). The Services may also be located on third party web sites and/or applications either as a link from an add-on service to, or otherwise in connection with, Web sites and/or applications that such third parties control. Our Search Services enable you to search the World Wide Web for anything that interests you, whether, for example, it is fly fishing, medical research or digital cameras. We may provide you with search listings of advertisers of Overture (as well as search listings provided to Overture by a third party to supplement the advertiser listings) that help you find what you are looking for. 

 

A little more detail: 

 

The Services act as a system or venue to introduce you to buyers and sellers of goods and services and providers of information. Overture uses reasonable efforts to ensure the availability of the information and content, including links, that it makes available through the Services. However, the Services are composed of content not offered by Overture. Overture does not control (i) the quality, safety or legality of items available through or on its advertisers' Web sites or sites of third parties not in privity of contract with Overture, (ii) the truth or accuracy or legality of the content from those advertisers or those third parties (even if such content appears on the Services), or (iii) the availability or technical capabilities of their Web sites or links to those Web sites. Overture is not liable or responsible for content supplied or approved by third parties, or for actions you might take in reliance on that content. Nothing contained in any of the Services is an offer or promise to sell a specific product for a specific price or that any advertiser will sell any product or service for any purpose or price or on any specific terms. Overture does not guarantee the price, terms, product, availability and/or services offered by any advertiser. For all of the Services, Overture is not involved in any transactions between you and any of its advertisers, and is not responsible for, and does not guarantee the price or performance of any goods, services or information provided by advertisers. If you have a dispute with one or more advertisers, you agree to release and hereby release Overture (and Overture's officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, successors, assigns, content providers and service providers) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If applicable, you waive California Civil Code section 1542, which says: "

 

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." 

 

Only Personal Use is Authorized 

 

Under this Agreement, Overture gives you limited permission to access and use the Services only for your personal use, and to copy, distribute and transmit the content of the Services only to the extent that such copying, distribution, and transmission is automatically done through your browser software incidentally to using the Services for your personal use. You may also print a copy of the information displayed on the Services for your personal use. That means, that except as set forth above, you may not modify, reformat, copy, display, distribute, transmit, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer or sell any information, products, or service obtained by your use of the Services. This restriction means, among other things, that you may not mirror on your own Web site any portion of the Services or display through your own Web site any results pages or other information from the Services without Overture's express permission. 

 

Your right to access the Services is subject to any limits established by Overture. You agree that you will not use any automated means, including, without limitation, agents, robots, scripts, or spiders, to access, monitor or copy the Services except those automated means expressly made available by Overture, if any, or authorized in advance and  in writing by Overture (for example, Overture approved third party tools and services). The Overture Web Site contains robot exclusion headers and you agree that you will not use any device, software or routine to bypass our robot exclusion headers, or to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Services. Without limitation to the foregoing, you further agree that you will not take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure (as determined by Overture). The technology underlying, and content within, the Services is owned by Overture and/or its licensors (including Overture's advertisers and other content providers) and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property or proprietary rights. If you use the Services other than as provided above, you may violate copyright and other laws of the United States, other countries, as well as applicable state laws and may be subject to penalties. That would not be a good thing. As between you and Overture, Overture owns and retains all ownership of the technology underlying and content within the Services, and reserves all rights not explicitly granted to you in this Agreement.
