Unless otherwise stated, it is strictly prohibited to share any material
from PCBL with other parties. All purchased material is owned by PCBL.
Everything that we offer you is LICENSED to you, meaning that PCBL maintains
ownership of the software you download and/or purchase, although you

ILLEGAL ACTIVITY & SECURITY
PCBL seeks to use the latest technology to keep data
secure. For maximum security, PCBL reserves the right to monitor users
and site usage at its discretion.
Unauthorized attempts to access information, products, or services
(hacking), or accessing any data via questionable means is strictly
prohibited. PCBL takes hacking seriously and WILL notify the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of such criminal activity. PCBL and its
affiliated third parties reserve the right to collect and use any information
that helps identify the source of unauthorized access, attempts, or
suspicion thereof. Among other things, PCBL and its affiliated third
parties may use cookies, identify IP addresses, and store activity logs.
PCBL can use any and all information at its disposal to protect itself
and/or its partners, affiliates, customers, and subscribers.
Illegal and objectionable behavior is strictly prohibited. Such action
includes, but is not limited to, providing false information, using
false identity, subscribing unaware third parties to the PCBL subscription
service, recklessly or intentionally affecting PCBL with any malicious
virus, worm, trojan, or any script or program that degrades or limits
PCBL’s capacity (regardless of the extent) to provide standard
service. PCBL reserves the right to indefinitely bar access to users,
computers, or networks from which such action originates, and may take
legal action for incurred damages.
You are strictly prohibited from reverse engineering any and all products
or work obtained from PCBL, whether it is done by yourself or another
party, whether they are viewed in your browser, downloaded or provided
to you via any medium. You also cannot reverse engineer any downloads
obtained through typical web browsing (temporary internet files, etc).
LOGIN & ACCESS
You are responsible for the confidentiality and safekeeping
of your user ID and password and all associated activity. In the event
you are aware that your login account may be compromised (someone
other than yourself may have access to your login information), you
agree to immediately change your password and notify PCBL via the “Contact
Us” link if you have any problems doing so.
You are also responsible for, and expected to, maintain up to date
contact information so that in the event of important notifications,
PCBL can contact you.
PCBL reserves the right to restrict the amount and type of access you
have, including (but not limited to) prevention of concurrent logins,
limiting bandwidth usage (the number of downloads), the number of times
you can log in to the system within a certain period of time, or the
frequency messages can be posted in the Forum. PCBL also reserves the
right to close and permanently remove accounts that are inactive for
an extended period of time. PCBL is not liable for damages incurred
to you or third parties when exercising its rights.
PCB LIBRARIES FORUM
Use of the PCB Libraries online message forum located at http://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum should
be within the forum rules posted there. Please note that PCB Libraries reserves
the
right
to
modify
usernames, delete, edit, or move messages that it deems are inappropriate.
SUBSCRIPTION
PCBL reserves the right to send you email notices about
changes to the User Agreement or Privacy Statement or other important
notices whether or not you subscribe. PCBL reserves the right to combine
offers from other companies in such email communications. Unsubscribing
from PCBL will merely reduce the amount of email communication you
receive from PCBL; it will NOT entirely eliminate it.
PCBL offers a subscription service by which, at its own discretion,
will notify its past customers and/or subscribers of product availability,
discount promotions, coupons, etc. PCBL reserves the right to require
such subscription for all individuals who wish to be notified or get
the latest upgrades, or customers who purchase an upgrade service package.
It is your right to unsubscribe from such service, but you will no longer
be notified by email of upgrades to products or how to access them,
even if you have already purchased an upgrade package. If you order
an upgrade package and you cancel your email subscription, you may not
receive update notifications. You may not be eligible for refund(s)
of upgrades you purchased but were not aware of because you unsubscribed.
You can subscribe and unsubscribe to PCBL’s email notification
services by logging onto your account. PCBL can help you unsubscribe,
but is not responsible for your decision to do so, nor is it responsible
if unsubscribing takes longer than usual due to extenuating circumstances.
Most of the time, changes to your subscription status are posted immediately
to the database, but you may not see this change for as long as 48 hours.
You may, at your discretion, terminate your PCBL account. Terminating
your account means you will no longer have access to protected areas
of the website, previous purchases (including product upgrades) and
you will no longer receive PCBL bulk email. Terminating your account
does not necessarily mean that all of your information is removed from
our database (i.e. purchase records, and logs of your site visits and
account usage may still exist.)
WEB LINKS
PCBL provides links to other sites (especially in the
message Forum), but has no control over the content of the material
presented on these sites. PCBL will assume no responsibility for the
data, products or services provided by these linked sites, or any
damages incurred by your visit to them.
LINKING TO PCBL & LOGO USAGE
Using the PCBL logo without permission is prohibited.
For permission to use the original, unaltered PCBL logo to promote
PCBL, please contact us via the “Contact Us” link from
the main menu.
Use of the PCBL logo cannot be used in derogatory contexts. It cannot
be used in conjunction with, or in any way associated with, illegal
or questionable material, such as pirate software or spam (unsolicited)
email. If you or your site promotes or condones such behavior, you are
prohibited from using the PCBL logo, whether or not PCBL gave you written
authorization to use the logo on your site. PCBL may take legal action
to claim compensation for damages related to such action.
Whenever possible, the logo should be linked to the PCBL site. Your
use of the PCBL logo does not mean that you are in any way partnered
with PCBL or that PCBL sponsors or endorses your organization, service,
product, or website in any way. You are not authorized to imply or specify
otherwise.
If you link to any PCBLibraries.com page, the PCBL
page must come up in a page without frames.
AFFILIATES & OTHER PARTIES
PCBL is not obligated to any Affiliate or third party
to perform any service, provide any product, or take any action, expressed
or implied, unless such action reflects a prior agreement made between
PCBL and the respective party.
PCBL Affiliates are third-party referrals and are not to be confused
with representatives or partners of PCBL. Affiliates are limited to
referring visitors and potential customers to PCBL and promoting PCBL
services and products. Affiliates are only entitled to a commission
for referrals that have culminated in a PCBL product purchase through
the Affiliates’ authorized link.
It is the Affiliates’ responsibility to provide their correct
and valid link. Affiliates work in good faith that when they refer you
to their affiliate link that you will use their link and no other for
any subsequent PCBL purchases that you make. Affiliates will not receive
commission if you purchase directly from the PCBL website and not through
their link. There is no pricing advantage to you by circumventing the
Affiliate link. Should you do so in error, PCBL cannot reimburse an
affiliate for such commissions.
Sharing of, or bartering with, the Affiliate commission is strictly
prohibited, and may result in the permanent termination of the respective
Affiliate’s account with PCBL. If a customer is determined to
be involved, he/she may become ineligible for future PCBL discounts
and may relinquish their opportunity to become an Affiliate.
ADVERTISEMENTS
PCBL may place advertisements
on its website, but has little to no control
over the actions of these advertising parties. PCBL
will not be responsible for the fulfillment
of any promises or guarantees provided by those advertising
on the site. You agree that you will not hold PCBL
liable, and all disputes
linked to advertisements will remain between you and
the party or parties who advertised.
You agree to immediately notify PCBL of any disputes relating to advertisements
posted on PCBL and will not file fictitious complaints. Filing fictitious
complaints may indefinitely affect your future business relationship
with PCBL.
OPINIONS
PCBL is not responsible for damages caused as a result
of opinions expressed by PCBL partners, Affiliates or other parties.
Furthermore, any opinions or ideas shared by third parties are not
those of PCBL, nor endorsed as such. This clause especially applies
to opinions posted in the message Forum.
