modify, suspend or terminate any Member's account or use of the Service at any
time and for any reason at our sole discretion.
Privacy Policy:
We do not sell or trade our mailing lists and will not divulge your address,

In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true,
accurate, and current information about yourself on the Service's registration
form and (b) maintain and promptly update your registration data to keep it
current. If you provide any information that is inaccurate or incomplete, or if
we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is inaccurate, not
current, or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your account
and may limit or refuse current or future use of the Service.
Copyright:
All content, including text, graphics, audio-video clips, and other material on this website
is copyright by WholeBeing.net or the respective owners of such content unless indicated otherwise.
All rights reserved.

laws. You may make a single copy of the Content on magnetic medium (i.e., hard
disk or floppy disk), and a single "hard copy" printout of the Content, if

otherwise copy, transmit, modify, reproduce, upload, republish, or distribute

on this website which are accessible to Members and/or the general public,
you agree that you will not:
- defame, abuse, harass, intimidate, annoy, or threaten any other

Discussion Boards:
Ongoing discussion occurs on various forum discussion boards. These boards are
not "free speech" zones and are subject to moderation just as you would expect
the blackboard in a traditional classroom to be managed by an instructor. You
acknowledge and agree that
complaints, insults, advertising or solicitations of any kind, political or
moral rants, provocative or disruptive remarks, and off-topic messages are not
permitted. Also, you should use discretion and common sense when posting
messages: never divulge your telephone number, work or home address, credit card
numbers, or other confidential information on a public forum at our
website or anywhere else on the Internet.
You agree that you will not post copyrighted material of any kind on
any of our forum discussion boards unless you have the copyright owner's
express written permission to do so. The appropriate way to share a useful
resource with fellow users is to post the URL where the material can be found
and a brief description of the resource so other users can browse that information.

or other writings and content of any kind on forum discussion boards,
or by transmitting such Content to us by email, fax or by any other means, you
grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and sublicensable

other original Content which you create and subsequently post on our forum
discussion boards: you are only granting us a nonexclusive right to use this
material and only in the manner herein described. You may edit, revise, repost,
adapt, or publish such original Content on your own website or elsewhere, and in
any form or venue you wish without restriction.

registration fees are nonrefundable processing charges; however, if you are
dissatisfied with any service that we provide, you may request a one-time
courtesy refund. In consideration of this guaranteed refund policy, you agree to
refrain from initiating credit card chargebacks or stop payments on checks and
that doing so will result in a $50 penalty fee being assessed to your account for
each such occurrence.
Limitation of Liability:
We make no representation that Content on this site is appropriate or
authorized for use in all countries, states, or other jurisdictions, or that
the Service will meet your requirements. We do not warrant or represent that the
Content is accurate, complete, correctly sequenced, timely, or reliable; or that
the Service will be uninterrupted or error free or software defects, if any,
will be corrected. The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "as available"

from your use of the Service, or any omissions, errors, or defects in the
Service or the Content, even if we have been advised or is aware that such
conditions may exist. In no event and under no circumstance shall we aggregate
liability to you or any other third party for any loss, damage or claim arising
out of the Service which exceeds the total amount paid by you to us, if any, for
the Service.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for
incidental or consequential damages, in which case some or all of the foregoing
provisions may not apply to you.

officers and employees harmless from any and all losses, actions, suits,
controversies, proceedings, demands, claims or causes of action of any kind
whatsoever, whether by formal or informal proceeding, or by letter, brought or
asserted in any manner, and all losses, claims, liabilities, costs, interest,
penalties, expenses and damages whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs of suit, whether incurred before, during, or on appeal of any trial,
arbitration, or bankruptcy proceeding), regardless of cause or responsibility
for negligence and whether or not caused by you, us, or others, related to or
arising, directly or indirectly, from your use or inability to use the Service.
Updates:

effective immediately. In addition, at our sole discretion, we may terminate
your account for: (1) violation of the letter or spirit of the TOS; or (2) if

Service, you agree to immediately discontinue use of the Service and destroy all
Content and materials obtained from it.
General:
This agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of
the state of Wyoming without effect to any principles of conflicts of law. You
and we mutually agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
located in the state of Wyoming. If any provision of this agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then such provision shall
be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties,
and all remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure
to exercise or enforce any right or provision hereunder shall not constitute a
waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in
writing. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
You and we mutually agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to
this Service must commence within one year after the cause of action arose;
otherwise, such action is permanently barred.
