I have redone the Vlexo TOS today.

I recommend everyone read it.

WOW some nice work Eli.

Just a quick question.

Are the clients allowed to follow (not directly) copy this or parts of the new TOS and display on their sites if they wish to?

I was able to do this when I had my VPS..  My TOS was exactly my upstreams (I asked and they said theirs is able to be used at will.. I didn't need to ask ) except i ADDED a few things to the list.

Yeah they can copy it if they want. Seeming as this one is based off another sites

Well, Ive a question. I am wondering if its okay to use some foreign language in our site as for example here in Malaysia there are like some catch phrases which in the malay language that i might use when writting my blog entry. Im wondering if that is against the TOS (i do give the meaning of the phrase that I use in English). Oh yeah, My blog entries are in English

Not sure if this is the right section to ask

Thanks

Sounds fine to me mate. No need to reply either

English content is a must.. Slang is fine! I can tell you know I have confused many with my Aussie slang.

The english needs to be there so that we can read it and can tell if it something that shouldn't be there or not.

If it looks too bad.. I'm sure you will be told. If worse comes to worse and you drop the english completely.. We will find and only suspend pending you put baqck to English.

However if you wish to put the meaning to slang on your page it may work in your favour for people looking for what the words mean from other sites/forums

As I said. No need to reply!

Nice work Eli, could you please just summarize the differences?

[Eli L]

Umm. Theres a few more rules, and it makes the users' content their responsibly and takes all responsibly off vlexo.

Eli,
I've a question for you

You agree that you will not originate any Content that may be described in any part by any of the following descriptions:

Just to clarify - I am currently hosting a rar file in my site. It contains my php script (a redirection script) which redirects to another site. Its a part of my project to redirect those who try to browse contents of a site and such. I am wondering if its okay to host or not. Is it okay to host own written php scripts which have been compressed or do we have to link the files individually

Thank you

[Eli L]

Yeah its alright

Maybe I am just missing it inside the wording, but as far as I can see, it does not state that by using content, etc. from user sites would be attributed back to the source site. Am I correct?

It doesn't explicitly say anything about that...although it's safe to say we're not going to go stealing users' content and take credit for it. The only reason we've ever even used user content before is to show off sites that have been hosted with us, mainly for advertising purposes (back when we had paid plans.)

However, according to that section of the TOS, we are not allowed to modify the content in any way. If you're really that paranoid as to think we wouldn't give credit, just put your own copyright on your pages.
