Rules of Conduct

The 'official' language is of this site is English. The vast majority of our board members are literate in English, hence, posts and communications are expected to be in English. Accommodations may be made for our international visitors to post in other languages in specific sections of the site, but the predominant and 'official' language remains English.

You shall not post any message containing or otherwise use any obscene or offensive language or post anywhere else on or through the International Relations or affiliate site and services any material that is an invitation to fast money making schemes, defamatory, pornographic, racial, abusive or hateful, constitutes junk mail or unauthorized advertising, harassment, invades anyone's privacy, or encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national, or international law or regulation. You agree to use the services offered by International Relations only for lawful purposes.

You agree to refrain from posting any ethnic, racial, religious, or political commentary which is not directly related to the theme of this site and/or which may be interpreted by others as being offensive or insulting.

You agree that you will not use the facilities of Russian Women Discussion / GoodWife / or Planet-Love sites to promote alternative websites, except as explicitly agreed, in writing, by the owners of this site.

You agree not to disrupt or interfere with the services provided on this site, nor to alter or tamper with any information or materials on or associated with this site.

You agree not to attempt to penetrate security measures of International Relations, whether or not the intrusion, either intentional or unintentionally, results in corruption or loss of data. Banning actions are considered security measures to protect International Relations and its members. Registering an account to circumvent a ban is an action to penetrate International Relations' security measures.

You agree not to interfere with another member's use and enjoyment of this site.

All International Relations sites were established and are organized to facilitate the free exchange of information pertaining to the topic and theme of international relationships with women from foreign countries. Posts on the forum/board are expected to be related to this theme, and you agree to restrict your posts to those which are thematic.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that any material or information you post anywhere on or through the site -- including but not limited to text, photographs, and sound -- does not violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other personal or proprietary rights of any third party or is posted with the permission of the owner(s) of such rights.

You agree that by posting any material or information anywhere on the site you surrender your copyright rights in the posted material or information. You further agree that International Relations is entitled to use the posted material or information royalty free and without restriction in any manner it deems fit, including, but not limited to, publishing the material or distributing it.

IT IS SOLELY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO EVALUATE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AND USEFULNESS OF ALL OPINIONS, ADVICE, SERVICES, AND OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

You agree to indemnify International Relations, its employees, directors, officers, related corporations, subsidiaries, attorneys, shareholders, agents, assigns, and representatives, and to hold them harmless, from any and all losses, claims, and liabilities (including attorneys' fees) which may arise from your submissions or deletion thereof, from your use of any service and/or material obtained from or through any services provided on this site, or from your breach of these rules or any other agreement between you and International Relations. You further agree that International Relations is not responsible, and shall have no liability to you or your agents, representatives, employees, shareholders, directors, or any party related to you in any way, for any material posted by others, including defamatory, offensive, or illicit material, and that the risk of damage from such material rests entirely with you.

You acknowledge that you are expressly prohibited from utilizing International Relations’ Message Boards / Discussion Forums / or other internet services in connection with data mining of any kind, commercial use, the sending of unsolicited electronic mail or other forms of messages, whether commercial or not, to a large number of recipients.

A message is unsolicited if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited the message. Mass mailing is mailing of messages in quantities exceeding reasonable personal use. For purposes of this provision, merely making one's e-mail address accessible to the public shall not constitute a request or invitation to receive messages.

You agree that you will not send SPAM messages to other forum/site members, nor make SPAM postings on the board, nor make any efforts to utilize the forum/site for your commercial gain, except for those provisions the board has explicitly allowed. Prohibited behaviors include; selection of a username which promotes your business, masquerading as a member and acting as a 'shill' to promote your business, posting messages which have little, or nothing, to say in response to another members post, but are made primarily to promote your business, posting of affiliate links, and any other similar commercially-focused behaviors.

You agree to refrain from revealing your password to others or allowing others to use your passwords (other than authorized users in your household).

You agree to refrain from forging any message header, in part or whole, of any electronic transmission, originating or passing through International Relations viruses to, from, or through this site, and allowing access to International Relations through your passwords for the purpose of operating a server of any type or for any other purpose which is not common personal use to receive viewable pages on International Relations.

International Relations has no practical ability to restrict all conduct, communications, or content which might violate this Policy prior to its transmission on or through the International Relations or affiliate sites, nor can International Relations ensure prompt removal of any such communications or content after transmission or posting. Accordingly, International Relations does not assume liability to users or others for any failure to enforce the terms of this Policy.

Warning / Banning Policy

International Relations employs a warning system designed to provide for gradually increased levels of intervention, up to the point of banishment.Although International Relations utilizes a Warning system, there are occasions in which a violation or behavior is sufficiently egregious that immediate action is taken. Examples of the types of behavior warranting immediate banishment include, but are not limited to:

* Use of foul or vulgar language in communications with the site management team.
* Threats of legal action.
* Physical threat made toward another forum/site member or their family.

In those instances, it is perceived that further communication is futile, and possibly unwise, and immediate action is taken.

International Relations reserves the right to publish details of decisions leading to the banishment of a member. International Relations' use of a Warning/Banning policy is not binding to International Relations and does not obligate International Relations to follow this policy in all cases. The Warning/Banning policy is intended to be generally followed, but International Relations reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to all or part of this site, with or without notice.

Choice of Law and Forum

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, excluding its conflicts of law rules. You expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or your use of this site shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in the State of Colorado, 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.

Any requests/demands/orders for any legal-related matters, including but not limited to; request for production of documents/records, depositions, testimony, etc. - shall be billed at the rate of $450.00 USD per hour to the party making the request/demand/order and will be paid within 3 days.
