TERMS OF USE
For all those who have no wish to fall face first into their keyboard with boredom, please stop reading this page immediately and explore the rest of the site at your leisure.

All others (masochists, mental patients, pedants, tax lawyers, those who market herbal viagra) please continue.

Here goes:

This site is owned and operated by Broken Ankle Books Pty. Ltd. By accessing or using it, you agree to the terms set forth in this Terms of Use agreement as changed when we become bored by the old Terms of Use.

(Which is, to be frank, just about always.)

Broken Ankle Books retains the right, at its discretion, to change any of these terms in the future.

This site contains stuff that is owned or licensed by Broken Ankle Books. You may not copy, reproduce, upload, post, distribute, republish, retransmit, or modify in any way any of the stuff on this site, including computer code and software.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

Provided that you retain any and all copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices, you may download stuff for your personal, non-commercial use, or for the purposes of publicity.

(For those who may be worried: these Terms of Use do not involve signatures in blood, human sacrifices, or the unlawful bartering of souls.)

EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

Why this section always appears IN GREAT BIG ANGRY CAPS we will never know ...

YOUR USE OF THIS WEB SITE IS "AS IS", AND BROKEN ANKLE BOOKS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT ITS SITE OR THE STUFF CONTAINED OR REFERRED TO ON IT, AND WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR YOUR USE OF IT.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, BROKEN ANKLE BOOKS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

BROKEN ANKLE BOOKS FURTHER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ITS WEB SITE OR THE PRODUCTS AND STUFF CONTAINED ON SUCH SITE ARE FLAWLESS AND WITHOUT ERROR, OR THAT SUCH ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED - WHO ON EARTH HAS THE TIME? - OR THAT THIS SITE OR THE SERVER FROM WHICH IT IS RUN IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER POTENTIALLY HARMFUL CODES.

(We certainly hope we're free of harmful codes, because that would be a real bore.)

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL BROKEN ANKLE BOOKS OR ANY AFFILIATED COMPANY OR INDIVIDUAL BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND EXPENSES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, HEALTH PROBLEMS, LOST PROFITS, AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOST DATA, DASTARDLY COMPUTER VIRUSES, DELETION OF FILES OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THE BROKENANKLEBOOKS.COM SITE, OR FOR ANY INFORMATION OR PRODUCTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE BROKENANKLEBOOKS.COM SITE, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

(How could anyone suffer a health problem in association with our website? Aggravated intellectual overstimulation? RSI? Psychosis induced by legal jargon?)

BROKEN ANKLE BOOKS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE OR DISCONTINUE AT ANY TIME ANY ASPECT OR FEATURE OF THIS WEB SITE.

(Well - d'oh.)

INDEMNITY

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Broken Ankle Books and any affiliated company or individual harmless from any and all liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, related to any violation of these Terms by you or your authorized users, or in connection with the use of the Web site or the Internet or the placement or transmission of any message or information on this Web site by you or your authorized users.

Broken Ankle Books shall provide notice to you promptly of any such claim, suit or proceeding and shall reasonably cooperate with you, at your expense, in your defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding.

In short: do not sue us, or we will not be happy.

TERMINATION

This agreement may be terminated by Broken Ankle Books at any time without notice. In the event of termination, you are no longer authorized to have access to the site, and all limitations on Broken Ankle Books' liability and on your use of Broken Ankle Books stuff shall survive.

These Terms and Conditions, along with any additional rules or conditions referred to herein and the Broken Ankle Books Privacy Policy, constitute the whole agreement and understanding between you and Broken Ankle Books as to your use of the Broken Ankle Books Web site, superseding all prior/current communications and/or proposals.

These Terms and Conditions are able to be severed, and in the event any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

A printed version of these Terms and Conditions shall be admissible in legal or other incredibly dull, expensive and stressful proceedings based upon or relating to use of the Broken Ankle Books Web site to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

(Anyone manage to read this page without skipping, say, a paragraph or three?)

Email (or even better - don't) any queries to:

webmaster@brokenanklebooks.com

Please include TERMS OF USE in the subject line (as that way, we know to ignore it).
