NOTICE TO USERS CONCERNING VIRUSES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
A "virus" is a computer program which is deliberately engineered
to corrupt or hinder operation of a computer system. Such
malicious programs are occasionally written for unknown purposes.
The criminal codes of virtually all states specifically prohibit
the creation or distribution of malicious computer programs.
The ___________________________ BBS operates as a point for the
free exchange of information. Accordingly, program files are
posted automatically through the BBS software. The The Example
BBS RBBS System BBS will not willfully distribute viruses or
other malicious programs, and will report to proper authority
users who attempt to do so. Files posted by users are not
verified prior to their availability for transfer. THEREFORE
USERS ARE REQUIRED TO PERFORM SUCH ANTI-VIRAL CHECKING OR OTHER
VERIFICATION OF FILES PRIOR TO USING THE SAME ON THEIR SYSTEM OR
PERMITTING OTHERS TO USE SUCH FILES. If a user of this system
believes that a file which they obtained through this system is a
virus or malicious program, a private message to the SYSOP should
be left as soon as possible. If any program is proven to contain
malicious code or a virus, it will be deleted from the system.
In consideration of the use of this system, all USERS ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHER U.C.C. WARRANTY GIVEN AS TO FILES
AND USERS ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE SUCH STEPS AS THEY
DEEM NECESSARY TO PROTECT THEIR SYSTEMS.
