UKSUG WEBSITE TERMS OF SERVICE
United Kingdom Sybase User Group (UKSUG) provides its service,
subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which
may be updated by UKSUG from time to time. The most current version
of the TOS can be reviewed at any time through the use of our website
(uksug.com). The Terms of Service govern the UKSUG membership organisation,
Affiliate Organisations and the Vendors/Clients it has granted access
to the UKSUG website (collectively referred to hereafter as Client).
2.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
The UKSUG website currently provides Clients and other users with
access to a rich collection of resources, including, various communications
tools, forums, file areas, and personalised content through its
online interface (the "Service"). Unless explicitly stated
otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current
Service shall be subject to the TOS.
Client is responsible for obtaining access to the Service and that
access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider
or airtime charges). Client is responsible for those fees. In addition,
Client must provide and is responsible for all equipment necessary
to access the Service.
The Service is provided for members of the United Kingdom Sybase
User Group. Non-members may be granted access as a guest with limited
or partial access to the Service. Guest access may be modified or
removed by authorisation of the United Kingdom Sybase User Group's
Committee.
3.0 REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
In consideration of use of the Service, Client agrees to the best
of their abilities to: (a) provide current and complete information
about themselves, their organisation and its users (such information

the Registration Data to keep it current and complete. In addition,
Client understands that in order to keep them informed of UKSUG
business items and events, that the UKSUG will on a periodic basis
send email based communications to the Client notifying them of
such items and events. Client agrees that receiving these emails
is a part of their use of the Service, and if they wish to not receive
these emails they must terminate their account.
4.0 NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT AND FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
United Kingdom Sybase User Group members agree not to use any Sybase
confidential information for any purpose except their business relationship
with Sybase. Members also agree that they will not disclose confidential
information to any person other than their company's employees who
are directly involved in the use of Sybase products.
4.1 The development, release, and timing of any features and functionality
described for Sybase's products remains at Sybase's sole discretion.
Any forward looking information on this website, including stated
plans for new features and enhancements, is intended to outline
Sybase's general product direction and should not be relied on in
making a purchasing decision.

Client's users will receive a username and password as part of the
Service's registration process. Client is responsible for maintaining

any unauthorised use of Client's password or account or any other
