Use of any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy our web pages or the content contained herein is strictly forbidden.

Modification of the materials or use of the materials for any other purpose is a violation of napolilaw.com’s copyright and other proprietary rights.  For purposes of these terms, the use of any such material on any other website or networked computer environment is prohibited.  All trademarks, service marks, and trade names are proprietary to napolilaw.com.

Export. U.S. and Canadian export control laws regulate the export, re-export, and import of technology originating in the United States and Canada.  This includes the electronic transmission of information and software to foreign countries and to certain foreign nationals.  Users agree to abide by these laws and their regulations, including but not limited to the Export Administration Act of the United States and the Export and Imports Permits Act and Export Control List of Canada, and not to transfer, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any content derived from our websites to either a foreign national or a foreign destination in violation of such laws.

Usage by Minors. We cannot prohibit children from visiting this website and must therefore rely on parents, guardians, and those responsible for supervising children to decide which materials are appropriate for such children to view.  

Forums and Public Communication. “Forum” means a discussion group, chat area, bulletin board, news group, letter to the editors, webmaster(s) or employees, or e-mail function offered as part of this website or any other napolilaw.com website.  You shall not upload to, distribute through, or otherwise publish through a Forum on this website or any other napolilaw.com website any content which is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, illegal, or otherwise objectionable, would constitute or encourage a criminal offence, violate the rights of any person, or would otherwise give rise to liability or violate any law.

The Forums shall be used only in a non-commercial manner.  You shall not, without our express approval, distribute or otherwise publish any material containing any solicitation of funds, promotion, advertising, or solicitation for goods or services.  You specifically acknowledge that soliciting other guests of this website or any other napolilaw.com website to join or become members of any commercial online or offline service or other organization is expressly prohibited.

It is our policy to respect the privacy of all guests.  Therefore, subject to the terms of the napolilaw.ca privacy statement, in general, we will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a guest’s e-mail unless required in the course of normal maintenance of this website or any other napolilaw.com website and its systems or unless required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or comply with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend the legitimate business interests, rights or property of napolilaw.com, its users, clients, sponsors, advertisers, or affiliates; or (3) act in an emergency to protect the personal safety of our guests or the public.  Guests shall remain solely responsible for the content of their messages.

By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us, you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such rights has expressly granted) us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from and distribute such materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed throughout the world or cyberspace.  In addition, you warrant that all so-called “moral rights” in those materials have been waived.
