Paciolan Community Forums Usage Guidelines

Last Updated: September 22, 2005

Paciolan provides its Community Forums as a service to its users and customers to help them exchange ideas, tips, best practices, techniques and other information related to our products and services. The Community Forums are here for the enjoyment and benefit of, and are accessible to, all registered members. Like any community, they are most valuable when everyone obeys certain basic guidelines and rules for online behavior. These guidelines and rules are presented here so that you know what is expected of you, and what you can expect from other participants when using the Community Forums. By registering you agree to follow these Usage Guidelines, in addition to the general Terms of Use (the “Terms”) governing use of Paciolan's Web site (this “Site”).

Keep it relevant
For everyone's benefit please stay on topic. The Community Forums are provided for the specific purpose of making it possible for the users and customers of Paciolan to help each other in using Paciolan products and services. Please refrain from discussing personal matters, abusing any company or product or, in general, from posting in a manner unrelated to the direct resolution of issues expected in the support of Paciolan products and services.

Keep it courteous
Everyone wants to have a positive experience while on the Community Forums. Please make sure you are not detracting from any other user's experience. In particular, please refrain from posting anything unlawful, libelous, defamatory, disparaging, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, harassing, threatening, harmful, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory or otherwise objectionable or injurious to third parties. Your opinions are always welcome, but personal attacks and harassment ('flaming') in either the forums or through private messaging are not acceptable.

Keep it spam-free
This community is provided as a service to Paciolan customers and is not intended for the promotion of third party services, products, websites or organizations. Please refrain from posting content that would constitute advertising, junk mail, spam, chain letters or any other form of unauthorized solicitation.

Keep it legal
It is unacceptable to post any material that (a) would infringe on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party, (ii) contains software viruses or any other computer code or files that are designed to disrupt, damage or limit the functioning of any software or hardware, or (iii) is deemed to be illegal by any local, state, federal or international law.

Be careful
Most people are happy to help out on these Community Forums, but remember that their advice is theirs only and that you are responsible for deciding whether or not to follow it. If the advice given by a user sounds wrong to you, do not try it. In particular, if any user asks you for personal information, such as an account number, address, password or credit card number, do not provide it.

Paciolan retains the right to remove content and limit users' access
Paciolan does not generally edit or monitor content posted by participants in its Community Forums. However, Paciolan retains the right, at its sole discretion, to limit users' access to the Community Forums and to remove material that, in Paciolan's sole judgment, does not comply with the present Usage Guidelines or with the Terms, or that is otherwise inappropriate for the Community Forums, harmful, objectionable or inaccurate. Paciolan also retains the right to assign such right to some members of the Community Forums community. Paciolan is not responsible for any failure or delay in removing such material.

Moderators may take any action they deem necessary in their own judgment to support the Usage Guidelines and the Terms and, in general, that can detract from the experience of other users or the purpose of the Community Forums. Such actions may include editing or deleting material and banning individual users.
