USE OF COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES - We provide a variety of services through our sites through which you can directly interact with others, such as email services, chat rooms, communications tools, message boards, classifieds, jobs and other public posting areas (“Communications Services”). We want to encourage an open exchange of information and ideas, but at the same time we want everyone to be able to enjoy these Communications Services. We reserve the right to deny access to any Communications Service to anyone who violates this visitor agreement or who, in our judgment, interferes with the ability of others to enjoy our sites or infringes the rights of others. We also reserve the right (but assume no obligation) to delete, move, block access to, or edit any postings that come to our attention that we consider unacceptable or inappropriate, whether for legal or other reasons. We will not, in the ordinary course of business, review private electronic messages that are not addressed to us. However, we maintain the right to do so or to use any other forms of information available to C.W.I. by virtue of your use of our sites (including, for example, reverse IP address inquiry), in order to comply with the law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our sites, the public, or C.W.I. and its employees, agents, partners and affiliates.
