Terms of Use
(last updated 9/10/07)
The following terms apply to you and your
use of the WheelerAlumni.com web site. You are required to agree to these terms
to become a part of the WheelerAlumni.com community. Violation of these terms
may lead to termination of your access and exclusion from future use of this
web site.
- This site is owned
and operated by the Wheeler High Alumni Association, Inc. (WHAA) as a service to
former students, faculty and staff of
Joseph Wheeler High School, located in Marietta, Georgia, USA. If you did not attend WHS, then
you are not permitted to register here. We utilize a peer voucher
system to verify the identity of each and every registrant. If you
didn't attend WHS, then none of us are going to vouch for you and you
won't be granted access. So don't waste your time trying to register
if you don't belong here. If you do not agree to the terms
of use or message board rules or have a problem abiding by them, you are not permitted
to be on wheeleralumni.com.
- Access to this site does not
constitute membership in WHAA, nor does membership in WHAA guarantee
access to this web site. Access to
this site is a privilege, not a right. Only
registered Alumni or Staff are allowed
access to the website. Do not share your user name and/or password with anyone,
including family. Sharing your user name and password will result in the loss of
access to the site.
- Incognito or fictitious names are not allowed. It is useless being
listed if your friends cannot identify you, and we get concerned regarding
your motives.
- False, fictitious or otherwise misleading contact and personal
information is not allowed. You may elect to withhold some of your
personal information from the general community, but you must provide
accurate contact information so that you can be reached for reunion
planning and other alumni business.
You must supply and maintain a correct postal and e-mail address.
This means you can not have a partial mailing address. You must supply a valid house
number, street name, city, state, and zip code.
Other information (such as a telephone number) is not required, but if you supply
them they must be valid. To have access to the web site you must provide a current,
functioning email address. If we find that your email address is not valid, your
access to the web site will be suspended until the matter is corrected.
- You agree not to use your access to WheelerAlumni.com for any
commercial purpose with the exception of professional planning of a class
reunion (for this you must have written permission from our
).
You may not advertise, advocate or otherwise promote
any business in which you have a personal financial interest on the WheelerAlumni.com
message board.
- We do not allow junk mailing of our members or solicitations
for commercial purposes. WHAA does not sell these lists and we appreciate you not
doing so either.
Alumni are not to access other Alumni
information for anything other than Alumni related business. Alumni may also not
use the website for any illegal activity, including violation of Data Privacy Laws.
Anyone found to be violating such laws will be subject to civil and/or criminal
prosecution. If you identify any security issue with the website you are to notify
the site webmaster (WHAAWebmaster@wheeleralumni.com) immediately without
demonstrating the problem to anyone else.
- You agree not to publish information found in the directory,
message board or other parts of this site without obtaining written
permission from WHAA.
Everything on this site is covered by US copyright law and unauthorized
replication of any of it is subject to criminal prosecution.
You also agree not to post any copyrighted
material on this site without the permission of the copyright holder. Quotes must be
limited to no more than two paragraphs and must give appropriate credit to the original
author and/or link to the original article. Reposting messages from this message board
to other web sites will result in expulsion from our message board.
- You agree to keep your contributions to this site within the
conventions of good taste. We don't prowl the site looking for
inappropriate material, such
as profanity, explicit sexual content, or racial slurs, but if
someone brings something to our attention, we will act on it. Basically, if it isn’t
allowed on prime-time network television, then it isn’t allowed here.
- By submitting your personal, reunion and any other information to
us, you, the end user, are thereby granting to
WHAA a royalty-free, worldwide, non-terminable,
exclusive license to use this information and your exact words (and
excerpts and edited versions of your submission) in all media, and you
waive all claims against WHAA for any violations of rights of privacy, publicity,
and defamation or other personal torts arising from WHAA's use of the
information in such media. No payments shall be due to you for such grant
of rights.
- WHAA reserves the right to refuse
membership or access to anyone who we feel is abusing the service or exploiting
it in a way that is detrimental to WHAA or our members.
Alumni who are identified as a security risk to
wheeleralumni.com will be denied access to the site.
- Let’s keep things good-natured here on this site. Personal
attacks, flame-wars, harassment, personal feuding and all other forms of
malicious personal conflict are prohibited on this site.
If it started on another website,
it needs to stay on that website.
If you want to
have it out with someone, take it elsewhere. We don't want to read it.
- WHAA reserves the right to update, amend or
expand these conditions at will. Registered alumni agree to abide by
all current Terms of Use.
Violations
Persons found to be in violation of these terms are
subject to temporary or permanent loss of access privileges.

do, as they only do it for the satisfaction they get by helping you and others.
