Terms of Use
 

General
Zero.com Pty. Ltd. provides you with access to this Web site and the services available on this Web site, or other Web sites as indicated below. 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 Zero.com Search (located at http://www.zerocorporation.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 Zero.com (as well as search listings provided to Zero.com 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. Zero.com 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 Zero.com.
Zero.com 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 Zero.com, (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. Zero.com 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. Zero.com does not guarantee the price, terms, product, availability and/or services offered by any advertiser. For all of the Services, Zero.com 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 Zero.com (and Zero.com'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.

Only Personal Use is Authorized
Under this Agreement, Zero.com 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 Zero.com's express permission.
Your right to access the Services is subject to any limits established by Zero.com. 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 Zero.com, if any, or authorized in advance and in writing by Zero.com (for example, Zero.com approved third party tools and services). The Zero.com 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 Zero.com).
The technology underlying, and content within, the Services is owned by Zero.com and/or its licensors (including Zero.com'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 Zero.com, Zero.com 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.

ZERO.COM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY MATERIAL OF WEB SITES IT LINKS TO AS PART OF THE SERVICES OR FOR INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OR PART OF THE SERVICES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SEARCH RESULTS. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
