Primus Database: Terms of Use

Welcome to Primus Database. Before you start a new page to be hosted here, or edit an existing one, you must agree to the terms below. These terms may be changed over time without notice to you. Important changes to this page will be announced on Primus Database’s Main Page, in advance of changes whenever possible. You agree to be bound by any changes to this page (which is a protected page and not publicly editable).

If you do not accept and abide by this agreement, you may not use Primus Database. If you do not wish to follow Primus Database’s policies, you may not edit these wikis.

Description of Service

Primus Database currently provides free wiki hosting for character related content for the Champions Online community. Primus Database's content is made freely accessible for informational or entertainment purposes to anyone with a connection to the World Wide Web.

Primus Database Content

Primus Database is a hosting provider, and takes no responsibility for the content uploaded by third parties. Primus Database's Administration will act to remove copyright violations in a timely manner following the owner U4dandy taking receipt of a DMCA takedown request.

Primus Database is provided "as is". Primus Database has no responsibility for lack of availability of any particular content. You should be aware that the wiki is editable by any member of the public who registers, and, as such, may contain inappropriate content at any time.

Any content you upload or post to Primus Database must be compatible with the relevant license and not violate another person's intellectual property or infringe on any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights. No content shall be added which violates any applicable law, including local, state, national, and international laws.

No content shall be added to Primus Database that is threatening, harmful, hateful, unlawful, libelous, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, vulgar, obscene, contains viruses, or is otherwise objectionable or potentially damaging, as reasonably determined by Primus Database or our hosting provider. However, please be aware that wikis may still contain content of an adult nature, or content that you may find offensive.

Any content on Primus Database is the responsibility of the person who uploaded it or added it to a wiki page. Primus Database does not control the content and does not approve the content before it is published. Although Primus Database is not obliged to do so, Primus Database, or its designees, has the right to remove any content for any reason, including but not limited to a violation of these terms of use.

• Any further violations after the warning is issued will be answered with either a second written warning or with a one-week block of the offending account's editing privileges.
