Rest Romania Online Forum Terms of Use

View Forum.Restromania.com Now!

Rest Romania provides its online "forums" at forum.restromania.com and forum.restromania.ro as a free service to allow the travel community to share travel advice, experiences, ideas and opinions. We want to make sure everyone using the forums respects the law, Rest Romania and other users - which is the reason for these terms.

You should read these terms of use carefully before use as by using the forums you are accepting them as an agreement between you and us (Rest Romania SRL), whether you are registered or simply browsing. We may change these terms of use from time to time, so check them regularly. We may contact you to inform you of these changes but are not required to..

Use of Forums:

First, you are only permitted to use the forums for personal, non-commercial purposes, unless otherwise stipulated in an agent or operator agreement. 

If you are under the age of 18 you should seek your parents permission before accessing the forums. Because users can automatically make postings, they may contain content which is not appropriate for people under 18. (Find tips on facilitating a safe internet experience for children on the Australian Broadcasting Authority's "CyberSmart Kids" site at www.cybersmartkids.com.au// )

Making postings:

If you wish to contribute "postings" (meaning any content contributed by a user to a forum, including private messages, usernames and user profiles), you must register. Once you register on one Rest Romania forum, you are eligible to make posts on all forums.

Although we don't monitor every single posting, we do drop in to see what's going on. We can (and sometimes do) remove postings that breach the wording or spirit of these terms of use without notice. We may also ban users who breach these terms of use, and delete their postings.  While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable.

Don't make postings that contain racist, sexist or homophobic comments; harass or "stalk" any person; contain defamatory statements or personal attacks on others; disrupt users' enjoyment of the forums (for example persistent off-topic discussion on Rest Romania Forums); personal details or private information about any other person (or anything contrary to our privacy policy) ; are made under another person's name or impersonating another person;  contain commercial advertising; contain excessively coarse language or content which would be rated R, RC or X by the Australian Classification Board (for more information please see the Office of Film and Literature Classification web site at http://www.oflc.gov.au); or breach any intellectual property rights law or discuss how to commit illegal activity.

In accord with the above, you agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed).

The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a user you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent the webmaster, administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.

Make sure you use the right Rest Romania Forums topic so you get the best response to your posts and to make it easier for those looking for information. We may move or delete postings to the wrong topic.

Respect others' intellectual property rights! Don't post copyrighted material or trade marks without the permission of the owner or you may put yourself and Rest Romania at risk of legal action.

You can share a useful internet resource with other Rest Romania Forums users by hyperlinking to the relevant resource, but first make sure you're allowed to by checking the terms of use of the site you are linking to. Many site operators don't allow people to link to pages below the front page or home page of their site.

If you own intellectual property and believe it is being infringed through a posting, please contact us as soon as possible.

The copyright in your postings is yours (generally speaking). We sometimes use postings in our publications (books, newsletters, websites, television programs and other products in any media). You give us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to reproduce, communicate, re-publish, edit, adapt or otherwise use your postings as we see fit, including the right to sublicense to others at our discretion. You also give us a licence to deal with the postings as necessary to perform technical and administrative functions in running the forums.

You may also have moral rights, so you consent to your postings being altered, edited or adapted to use them under our licence in any way we see fit. You consent to us not attributing authorship to you at all, or only attributing it to your registered "handle". We generally attribute authorship, but that's not always possible and we decide this on a case by case basis. If we do use your material we may attribute it to your registered "handle", or contact you to request that your real name be used. Don't worry, we will never publish your real name without permission.

If you don't want your postings to be used in this way, don't post it. Once you have made a posting, you can't withdraw or retract the posting or your licence and consents.

Using postings:

If you're relying on information or opinions from postings, remember you do so at your own risk. Use common sense and make your own inquiries first, especially for postings like those on the Rest Romania Forums "Health" topic - these may not be from medical professionals (even if the user claims to be one), so you should always seek your own advice. Be aware that postings only represent the opinions and experience of users, not ours.

If you want to copy, amend or re transmit others' postings, you need permission. Permission can be obtained from the user or from us as licensee.

If you want to share postings with a friend please send them a hyperlink. Third party commercial sites are not permitted to provide digests or summaries of posts, even through hyperlinks, without our permission.

Rest Romania's intellectual property (which includes forum content other than postings and the Rest Romania, Rest Rom, distinctive diamond "R" logo trade marks) may not be used in any way or for any purpose without our permission.

Your personal information:

By registering, submitting postings, or emailing us, you will be supplying us with "personal information". We collect this to administer and help you use the forums, send you a password, contact you about postings, and keep in touch with you.

Your user name will be visible to other users, and when you register for Rest Romania Forums, you can chose whether your user profile and email address will be also be visible to other users. You can access and update your personal information in the "profile" section of Rest Romania Forums at any time.

Sleep easy, we won't sell your contact details to marketing companies for spamming! But we may disclose information about you to our website developers (some of whom work on contract to us) and to other companies in the Rest Romania family. If you"d like to find out more, please read our privacy policy.

Complaints:

We take copyright, trade mark, defamation and other laws seriously. If you think a posting is infringing these terms or anyone's legal rights, let us know immediately. We will investigate all complaints and take action if we think it's necessary, including removing the posting or banning the relevant user.

To let us know:

Rest Romania Forums: Contact the moderator of the relevant topic to draw their attention to the posting.

Removal of postings is at our discretion, except if the content is illegal. If you're not happy with the moderator's response, you can ask them to refer the matter to the forum manager. If you're still not happy, you can follow the formal complaints procedure below. We may also require you to follow the formal procedure for certain matters (for example, if you claim content is infringing copyright or defamatory).
