FORD: Future Of Research & Development Terms of Use
Welcome to FORD: Future Of Research & Development! We’re thrilled to have you here. Our website is designed to share valuable information and foster innovation in research and development. By using our site, you’re agreeing to some important terms and conditions, so let’s go through them together.
Understanding Our Terms
When you visit our site, you’re entering a space where we share information to help advance research and development. By accessing our site, you agree to follow these Terms of Use. If you don’t agree with these terms, it’s best not to use our site. We may update these terms from time to time without notice, so feel free to check back occasionally.
Keeping Our Site Secure
Imagine our website as a secure library where everyone can come and learn. To keep it safe, we use software to monitor network traffic. This helps us spot and stop unauthorized attempts to upload or change information. If someone tries to tamper with our site, it’s like breaking into a locked library – it’s prohibited and could lead to legal consequences under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.
Warranties and Disclaimers
All the materials on our site are provided “as is.” This means we’re not offering any guarantees about the content. Whether it’s for a particular purpose, or just the overall quality, we make no promises. It’s like borrowing a book from the library – the information is there for you to use, but we’re not guaranteeing it’s perfect for your needs.
We reserve the right to remove any content that might violate these terms or any laws. We can also change any information, products, or services on our site without notice. Think of it like updating our library’s catalog – we strive to keep things current and useful for all visitors.
Disclaimer of Endorsement
Sometimes, we include links to other websites for your convenience, like recommending other books or resources. However, we don’t control or guarantee the accuracy of these external sites. Including these links doesn’t mean we endorse the views, products, or services on those sites. It’s like suggesting a book without endorsing every word written in it.
Links to Other Websites
Our site might contain links to other websites not managed by us. These links are provided as a convenience to you, much like a librarian pointing you to additional resources. However, we’re not responsible for the content on these external sites. The presence of these links doesn’t mean we endorse the information or the organizations behind them.
Disclaimer of Liability
We strive to provide valuable information, but we can’t be held liable for any damages that might arise from using our site. Whether it’s lost data, work stoppage, or any other issue, we’re not responsible for any problems that might occur. Think of it like using a reference book – you use the information at your own risk.
Copyright Notice
Unless otherwise noted, all content on our site is protected by copyright. You can print or download content for personal, non-commercial use, and share it with others as long as you credit our site. However, you can’t distribute or commercially exploit our content without our express written permission. It’s like borrowing a book and sharing it with friends, but not selling copies of it.
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
Unauthorized attempts to upload or change information on our site are strictly prohibited. Violations could lead to legal consequences under Title 18 U.S.C., Sections 1001 and 1030. It’s like trying to deface a book in our library – it’s not allowed and will be dealt with seriously.

We encourage you to subscribe to our content and share your thoughts through comments. When you do, you might need to provide some personal information. We protect this information as outlined in our Privacy Policy. However, using our site to advertise or promote goods and services is not allowed.
By commenting or posting on our site, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use and share your comments in any media, worldwide, and for any purpose. It’s like adding your thoughts to a community bulletin board that everyone can see and share.
When you post content, you promise that it’s your original work and that you have the right to share it. You also agree not to post anything offensive or unlawful. Think of it like contributing to a community library – your contributions should be respectful and appropriate for all.
