 Ford Truck Space Terms of Service
As a member of Ford Truck Space you agree to the following:
General
You acknowledge that by accepting this Membership Agreement and completing the registration process, you are becoming a
member of Ford Truck Space Forums. You understand that Forums includes message boards, chat areas and/or other communication
tools designed to enable member-to-member or member-to-site interactivity for recreational and informational purposes. For the
purposes of this Membership Agreement, the term "Postings" means any postings on Ford Truck Space Forums message boards, as well
as any other content any person provides within chats or otherwise within Ford Truck Space Forums.
Membership Agreement
As a member, you will be subject to this Membership Agreement. Ford Truck Space Forums is a service available to all
subscribers who agree to abide by this Membership Agreement. Ford Truck Space reserves the right to change the
terms of this Membership Agreement at any time, and also reserves the right to waive or modify any of these terms
as they apply to a specific Posting or member without affecting the application of these terms to all other Postings
and members. Changes will be effective when made and the updated Membership Agreement is posted to our site. As described
below, members who violate this Membership Agreement may be banned permanently from posting in Ford Truck Space Forums.
Member Identification and Use of Registration Data
As part of the registration process, you must select a user name. You must maintain only one Forums user name.
The information that you supply during the registration process must be accurate and complete and you agree to
not (i) register under the name of another person; (ii) choose a user name that Ford Truck Space deems offensive;
(iii) choose a user name for the purposes of deceiving or misleading Forums members and/or staff as to your true
identity; or (iv) choose a user name that incorporates a solicitation (e.g., yoursitedotcom, dealershipname, isellporsches).
You agree to not impersonate any other person, including any other Forums member, any Forums Host or any Ford Truck Space staff.
Your registration information will remain private from the general membership with the exception of your user name,
unless you change your registration information to public information in your member profile. For more information
regarding our privacy policy, please visit the Ford Truck Space Privacy Statement, which
provides that under certain circumstances we may reveal what we know about you.
Keeping Your Personal Information Private
We recommend that you do not give out personal information, such as your full name, email address, street address, phone number
or Ford Truck Space password, in your profile or your Postings. Members should be aware that disclosure of such information raises
safety concerns and may result in solicitations from third parties not authorized by Ford Truck Space or other unwanted
communications. Ford Truck Space disclaims any responsibility or liability arising from your disclosure of such personal
information, or any other information, in your profile or your Postings.
Content Management
While Ford Truck Space has no obligation to do so, we do our best to monitor Forums content. However, since we do not monitor
on a "real time" basis, you may see content that is objectionable before we do. Please report objectionable content to the
Forums staff by using the Contact Us link located at the bottom of every page.
Ford Truck Space reserves the right to review any Postings and to remove or refuse to post any Postings in its sole discretion.
You understand that the content within Ford Truck Space Forums is based on individual opinion and experience, which
may vary significantly from one person to the next. Ford Truck Space does not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of
any Posting or other content in Ford Truck Space Forums. You agree that Ford Truck Space is not responsible for the
accuracy of the content of Forums and will not be liable for any damages incurred as a result of the submission
or use of any such content.
Member Conduct
Ford Truck Space Forums welcomes all points of view on automotive matters. However, although interactions within Forums
occur in cyberspace, everyday manners apply. Please respect and interact with fellow members as you would in any public
arena. If you wish to take issue with the statements of other Ford Truck Space Forums members or Ford Truck Space staff,
please engage in healthy, mature debate and not immature behavior or name-calling. Civility and respect underlie the
success of an on-line community such as Ford Truck Space Forums. While we want to maintain an inviting environment for
all members, disruptive conduct, such as off-topic comments in a topic-oriented discussion, is not allowed. Neither
is "spam" (posting your message multiple places throughout Forums).
From time to time we may communicate with you personally concerning your participation in Forums or related matters.
Those communications are not intended to be made public, and you agree not to post those communications in Ford Truck Space
Forums or elsewhere on the Internet.
Harassment and Other Inappropriate Conduct
You may not submit Postings that are indecent, obscene, pornographic, abusive, threatening, misleading, illegal or
defamatory, or any material that interferes with the ability of others to enjoy Ford Truck Space Forums.
Ford Truck Space Forums wishes to maintain a friendly member-to-member supporting environment. Please use this
as your guideline when in doubt. In addition, we do not tolerate harassment, or denigration based on age,
gender, race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or disability.
Illegal and Objectionable Activities
Ford Truck Space does not allow the promotion of illegal conduct or activities or fraudulent schemes in Forums.
Specifically, you may not advocate illegal conduct, such as street racing, reckless driving or driving under
the influence of alcohol or drugs. Furthermore, you agree to not engage in any illegal activity in connection with your Postings.
Rights of Third Parties
You may not submit Postings, including photos or images, that infringe in any manner on the copyright, trademark
or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or that contain any confidential or proprietary information
of any person or entity, or that otherwise violate the legal rights of any person or entity. You may insert
hyperlinks in your Postings for members to access copyrighted material for informational purposes - but, except
for quotes of reasonable length, you may not post such materials in Ford Truck Space Forums itself. You may not use
Ford Truck Space Forums to distribute unauthorized copies of copyrighted material, including photos, artwork text,
recordings, designs or computer programs.
You may not submit Postings that contain personally identifiable information about other people, such as their
phone number, street address or email address, or information about other people that could result in an invasion
of their privacy or their harassment.
Promotions and Solicitations
You agree that, except with Ford Truck Space's prior consent, you will not (either in your Postings or in your profile)
solicit or promote any products or services, self-promote, or implore readers to take actions that are intended to
further a personal purpose. You agree you will not use information supplied within Forums to do any of the
foregoing, via email or any other method. You agree to not gather public email addresses from member profiles
for any purpose. You agree not to promote, link to or encourage others to visit auto sites that provide
message boards, forums or chats.
License of Postings to Ford Truck Space
You agree that, by submitting a Posting to Ford Truck Space Forums, you are granting to Ford Truck Space a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully assignable and sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt,
publish, translate, edit, reformat, create derivative works from, distribute and display that Posting throughout
the world for any purpose and in any media. You are also granting to Ford Truck Space the non-exclusive right to seek
to enjoin and/or obtain damages from any third party from the unauthorized use or reproduction of your Postings,
as well as the right to attribute your Postings to you.
You agree that you will not use or reproduce any Posting of any other member in any manner or in any media, including
posting or republishing any Posting of another member on any other Web site. (You may, however, occasionally reprint
or post excerpts, not to exceed 50 words, from a single Posting of another member if it is clear that the original
and full Posting is available in Ford Truck Space Forums.) You may also display a link to, or the address of, the
Ford Truck Space page on which any Posting appears.
Your Use of the Names "Ford Truck Space" and "fordtruckspace.com"
You understand that you may use the names "Ford Truck Space" and "fordtruckspace.com," including as part of a logo that may
be created by you or by others, solely for the purposes of identifying your membership in Ford Truck Space Forums.

all use of these names, and that Ford Truck Space may so request if any use of either of these names is not in accordance
with the terms of this Membership Agreement, does not meet the high standards of quality established by Ford Truck Space
with respect to the use of these names, or would expose Ford Truck Space to any risk of liability or loss.
You agree to indemnify X7 Media for any claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys'
fees and costs) arising out of any use of the names "Ford Truck Space" or "fordtruckspace.com" including any claim that any
logo used by you that incorporates either of the names infringes the rights of any other person or entity.
You hereby grant to X7 Media the perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to use
any such logo that you create or is created by you for the purpose of advertising, promoting or otherwise
marketing Forums, the Ford Truck Space Web site or fordtruckspace.com.
You agree not to (i) take any actions that would adversely affect Ford Truck Space rights in the "Ford Truck Space"
and "Ford Truck Space" names, or (ii) file any application or other document with any governmental authority
to register any corporate name, trade name, trademark, service mark, certification mark, collective mark
or other similar designation that includes the words "Ford Truck Space" or "fordtruckspace.com" or any confusingly
similar names, or (iii) take any other action that is inconsistent with Ford Truck Space's rights in the
names "Ford Truck Space" and "fordtruckspace.com" (or aid or abet any third person in doing so).
Termination of Membership
Please be aware that your membership may be revoked if you fail to abide by the terms of this Membership Agreement.
In the event this should occur, you agree not to re-register as a member of Ford Truck Space Forums. Furthermore, you
acknowledge that Ford Truck Space reserves the right to take action -- technical, legal or otherwise -- to block,
nullify or deny your ability to submit Postings. You understand that Ford Truck Space may exercise this right
in its sole discretion.
Damages; Indemnification
You agree that you will be responsible for any damages resulting from any violation of this Membership Agreement.
You further agree to indemnify and hold Ford Truck Space and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors,
agents, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third
party due to or arising out of your breach of this Membership Agreement, or any violation of any law or the rights
of a third party that occurs in connection with your use of Ford Truck Space Forums.
Choice of Law and Forum
This Membership Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas,
excluding its conflicts of law rules. You agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action arising
out of or relating to this Membership Agreement or use of this Web site shall be filed only in the state or
federal courts located in the County of Harris, State of Texas, and you further agree and submit to the exercise
of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action.
