By your completion of the registration process you affirm your agreement to the following
guidelines and any and all future updates of these guidelines. You also affirm your understanding
that the reading of updated guidelines is the sole responsibility of the registrar ("User"):
The Michael Jackson Fan Club ("MJFC") Message Board is a forum to discuss Michael Jackson
related topics. Discussions shall take place in a family atmosphere, appropriate for children
of all ages.
In order to take part in the discussions or in the polls you must register first.
Registration is free of costs. Required information is a User name, a password and
a valid e-mail address (this is for MJFC use only. You can choose to hide this information
in the preferences section so that your e-mail address is not accessible by the other Users).
All other information you supply during the registration process is optional.
All children 13 years of age or younger need written permission
from their legal guardian before they are allowed to actively take part in the Message Board
discussions. Detailed information is part of the registration process.
The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of
MJFC.
Unless stated differently on one of the boards, MJFC does not review the messages before they are
posted. Your messages are posted in real-time, meaning that they occur immediately after you sent
them. However, MJFC reserves the right to delete any message for any reason and without prior
notification if MJFC feels it necessary. Any User who feels that a posted message is objectionable,
please contact the moderator. MJFC has the ability to remove objectionable messages as well as
exclude User(s) from the Message Board. MJFC will use this option in an attempt to keep the
Message Board enjoyable for everyone.
MJFC may delete, but is not under obligation to delete, any messages that do not follow the
guidelines. For this, please note, that the User is solely responsible for all content that
they post via the Message Board. You, the User, agree to indemnify and hold MJFC harmless from any
claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising from the content of you post(s).
MJFC also reserves the right to reveal your identity in the event of any complaint or legal action
arising from any message posted by you, the User.
Your post MAY NOT contain:
- Inappropriate language
No vulgar words. As we have visitors from many different countries, write your message in English
language ONLY and please do not use slang.
- Personal attacks against anybody
No harassing, hateful or threatening words towards anybody. You may not judge and/or criticize
anybody because of race, religion or gender. Your post may contain constructive criticism
concerning Michael Jackson's work, but MJFC will not tolerate controversial discussions about
Michael Jackson's private life, such as, but not limited to, his marriages or his children.
- Copyright material
e.g. Do not upload copyright material such as pictures, music files or software. Do not completely
copy and post contents of other web sites without prior written permission.
- Links to web sites that feature illegal presentations
e.g. Downloads or sale of copyright material (songs, videos), unauthorized pictures of Michael
Jackson's children.
The use of the MJFC Message Board to spread junk mail, spam, chain letters or advertisements
is not allowed under any circumstances.
The MJFC Message Board may not be used to collect or store personal data about other users.
The MJFC Message Board may not be used for the purpose of selling, trading or solicitation of
any nature.
Legal Construction: In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in these guidelines
are for any reason invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, to the extent such invalidity
or unenforceability does not destroy the basis of the guidelines, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof and these guidelines will be construed
as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Whenever
required by the content, as used in this instrument, the singular number includes the plural and
