Terms of Service
I'm not much for this kind of formality, but I'm told that because the EVDL sends email to large numbers of people, we should have terms of service. So here they are.

  1. By subscribing to and/or using the Electric Vehicle Discussion List (EVDL), you agree to these terms of service.

  2. You declare and represent that you are at least 18 years of age and that you are legally responsible for your own actions.

  3. You consent to your email address and your name (if you supply it) being collected and stored by the EVDL listserver and/or archive.

  4. You declare and represent that all the information that you submit to EVDL expresses only your views, not those of the EVDL's owner, webmaster(s), administrator(s), or moderator(s).

  5. You declare and represent that you have the legal right to display and/or share any material that you submit to the EVDL.

  6. You declare and represent that you bear full legal and fiscal responsibility for any information that you submit to the EVDL.

  7. You assign to the EVDL a non-exclusive perpetual license for any information that you submit to be distributed to our subscribers, and stored and/or quoted in our archive, FAQ, and any other official and unofficial EVDL resources.

  8. You agree to abstain from using the EVDL as a platform for personal or commercial promotion of yourself, or of any product or service under your control. This doesn't mean that personal announcements of EVs or related parts or services for sale are prohibited, just that spam isn't welcome.

  9. You agree and consent that the EVDL and its owner, webmaster(s), administrator(s), and moderator(s) will bear no liability, legal or otherwise, for your violations or infringements of these terms of service, or of any applicable laws.

  10. You agree and consent that the EVDL's owner, webmaster(s), administrator(s), and moderator(s) have the right to suppress, remove, edit, move, or delete any material that you submit, at any time, for any reason, without notice or warning.

  11. You understand and acknowledge that information posted through or on the EVDL is provided by EVDL subscribers, who are individually and solely responsible for it. The EVDL staff (such as it is) doesn't control or monitor that information, or evaluate its utility or validity. The information posted may be inaccurate, obsolete, incorrect, and/or dangerous. Your use of it is entirely at your own risk. You agree to hold harmless the EVDL and its owner, webmaster(s), administrator(s), and moderator(s) from any legal liability arising from your use of the service and/or information provided through it.

  12. You agree to be reasonably civil when using the EVDL, and to not post illegal, objectionable, or blatantly offensive material, or anything that promotes hatred, violence, or illegal acts.

  13. Violation of these terms of service may result in the suspension or deletion of your account, recission of your posting privileges, and/or removal of your posts, without notice or warning. So there.

  14. The EVDL is presented as-is, warts and all, without any warranty whatsoever, be it expressed, implied, or statutory. Your use of the website, listserver, and archive is solely at your own risk.
