Accessing and Transmitting IOMX Content

All the content available for public access on IOMX is protected by copyright. Your use of this material must adhere to the following terms, unless you are the original contributor of the content to IOMX, in which case your use is governed by the terms governing IOMX's relationship with its contributors as covered below.

You may download and print a single copy of any content item for your personal, non-commercial use. Content items include, but are not restricted to, articles, columns, photographs, complete Coffeehouse posts and reader comments on articles.

You may not make any content item originating from IOMX available for public access by any means whatsoever without obtaining prior written permission from IOMX.
You may forward Internet URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) to third parties for private, non-commercial use, along with brief extracts that do not violate Fair Use guidelines.
You may post, or otherwise make publicly available, excerpts from IOMX content items, in any publicly accessible forum, so long as they follow standard Fair Use guidelines and IOMX is cited alongside the excerpt as the original source with a link back to IOMX.

Contributing Content to IOMX

In addition to being a social and professional networking site that connects people, IOMX also provides a variety of forums for its members to express themselves in the form of articles, columns, opinions, comments, reviews, art and photographs. IOMX provides value to its contributors by making available to them its vast global audience reach.

The terms in this section apply to all the content contributed to IOMX in any of its various services and forums.

You truthfully assert that the content being contributed is your creation and that you own the copyright to the content. Unless you have deliberately assigned the copyright to someone else, you automatically own the copyright to all of your original creations.
You truthfully assert you have not infringed on anybody else's copyright in the creation of this article.
We are not responsible or liable for loss if visitors to the site violate your copyright and distribute your copyrighted content without your permission.
You grant us exclusive unlimited Internet distribution rights and electronic distribution rights, and non-exclusive, unlimited print publication and distribution rights either through IOMX's own or through other media. This includes Web publishing, syndication on other web sites, syndication with print publishers, publishing as part of a collection of articles, publishing as a book, email, ftp, telnet and other Internet-based information transfer protocols.
You may, however, publish the content you contribute to IOMX, on your personal, non-commercial Web site if you possess one.
In case the contributions are digital images of artwork in traditional media such as canvas, that is available for sale, you may also publish digital images of your artwork on commercial Web sites that sell art online, only for the purpose of sale.
Once granted and your content is published, the distribution rights cannot be revoked. In other words, once your contribution is published on IOMX it automatically becomes a permanent part of the publicly-accessible IOMX archives. You may, however, subject to our approval, update or revise your contributions on IOMX.
You will not receive any monetary compensation for your submissions. The only in-kind compensation we promise is exposure on the World Wide Web and a home for your expression on the web.
You grant us the right to organize, categorize, collate your contributed content and present it on the website in any manner we see fit. We may remove or edit your contribution at our discretion without having to secure your permission. We will however make reasonable efforts to inform you of the changes.
We generally do not object to our contributors posting their IOMX contributions on other, freely accessible non-commercial Internet locations, so long as IOMX is clearly cited as the original publisher, and a link to www.IOMX.com is provided. You, however, agree to secure our permission first before such re-publication on other Internet sites happens.
