How We Collect and Use Information
We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily
supply to us online while using the Service (e.g., while on the GPP site or
in responding via email to a feature provided on the GPP site).
We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as
you navigate online through the Service. For example, we may collect
information about your computer's connection to the Internet, which allows
us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and
to measure traffic on the GPP site. We also may use a standard feature
found in browser software called a "cookie" to enhance your experience on
the GPP website. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on
your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when
visitors use the GPP website, cookies help us deliver advertisements,
identify how many unique browsers visit us, and track user trends and
patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on
certain areas of the GPP site where you may have entered preference
information before. GPP also may use web beacons (also known as
"transparent GIFs") to access cookies and to count users who visit the GPP
site or open GPP's HTML-formatted email messages.
GPP uses the information it collects from you while you are using the
Service in a variety of ways, including to customize features and
advertising that appear on the Service, to better serve the viewer. GPP
also reserves the right to use and to disclose to third parties all of the
information GPP collects online about you and other visitors in any way.
However, it is GPP's current policy to not share information about its
visitors with third parties, nor will GPP authorize third parties to use
its collected information to mail or e-mail promotional offers to you. Any
change in this policy will be preceded by a notification to GPP's
members/visitors. In addition, GPP will not use the information it collects
online from you to send you promotional mail or e-mail, unless you
specifically choose to receive these offers. To view or update your
preferences to receive GPP's promotional offers, visit the Members section
of the Web site on which you registered.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal
information available for viewing by third parties online - for example on
message boards, web logs, through email, or in chat areas - that
information can be seen, collected and used by others besides GPP. GPP
cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such
information.
Some of our third-party advertisers and ad servers that place and present
advertising on the Service also may collect information from you via
cookies, web beacons or similar technologies. These third-party advertisers
and ad servers may use the information they collect to help present their
advertisements, to help measure and research the advertisements'
effectiveness, or for other purposes. The use and collection of your
information by these third-party advertisers and ad servers is governed by
the relevant third-party's privacy policy and is not covered by our Privacy
Policy. Indeed, the privacy policies of these third-party advertisers and
ad servers may be different from ours. If you have any concerns about a
third party's use of cookies or use of your information, you should visit
that party's website and review its privacy policy.
GPP also includes links to other websites and provides access to products
and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not
control. When you access another website or purchase third-party products
or services through the Service, use of any information you provide is
governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting
or the provider of such products or services.
We also make some content, products and services available through our
Service through cooperative relationships with third-party providers, where
the brands of our provider partner appear on the Service in connection with
such content, products and/or services. We may share with our provider
partner any information you provide, or that is collected, in the course of
visiting any pages that are made available in cooperation with our provider
partner. In some cases, the provider partner may collect information from
you directly, in which cases the privacy policy of our provider partner may
apply to the provider partner's use of your information. The privacy policy
of our provider partners may differ from ours. If you have any questions
regarding the privacy policy of one of our provider partners, you should
contact the provider partner directly for more information.
We are an affiliate of the CareerBuilder online careers service. Through
our cooperative relationship with CareerBuilder, we are able to provide you
with access to the CareerBuilder products and services through a co-branded
CareerBuilder site. When you provide information through the co-branded
CareerBuilder site, CareerBuilder may share your information with us and we
may use the information consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Likewise, we are an affiliate of the Topix.net online news service, which
enables us to provide you with access to Topix.net products and services
through a co-branded Topix.net site. When you provide information through
the co-branded Topix.net site, Topix.net may share your information with us
and we may use that information in a manner consistent with this Privacy
Policy.
Be aware that we may occasionally release information about our visitors
when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our Terms of
Service agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of
our Services, the public, or GPP.
Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various
assets. In the unlikely event that we, some or all of our assets, or one or
more of our websites is acquired by another company, information about our
users may be among the transferred assets.
Children's Privacy Statement
This children's privacy statement explains our practices with respect to
the online collection and use of personal information from children under
the age of thirteen, and provides important information regarding your
rights under federal law with respect to such information.
This Service is not directed to children under the age of
thirteen and we
do NOT knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children
under the age of thirteen as part of the Service. We screen users who wish
to provide personal information in order to prevent users under the age of
thirteen from providing such information. If we become aware that we have
inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a user
under the age of thirteen as part of the Service, we will delete such
information from our records. If we change our practices in the future, we
will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before collecting any
personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen
as part of the Service.
Because we do not collect any personally identifiable information from
children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service, we also do NOT
knowingly distribute such information to third parties.
We do NOT knowingly allow children under the age of thirteen to
publicly
post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information
through the Service.
Because we do not collect any personally identifiable information from
children under the age of thirteen as part of the Service, we do NOT
condition the participation in the Service's online activities of a child
under thirteen on providing personally identifiable information.

Disclaimers
Through the Service, GPP has provided links and pointers to Internet sites
maintained by third parties. GPP's linking to such third-party sites does
not imply an endorsement or sponsorship of such sites, or the information,
products or services offered on or through the sites. In addition, neither
GPP, its parent or subsidiary companies nor their affiliates operate or
control in any respect any information, products or services that third
parties may provide on or through the Service or on websites linked to by
GPP. The information, products and services offered on or through the
Service and any third-party sites are provided "as is" and without
warranties of any kind either express or implied. To the fullest extent
permissible pursuant to applicable law, GPP disclaims all warranties,
express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. GPP does not warrant
that the Service or any of its functions will be uninterrupted or
error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any part of this
Service, including bulletin boards, or the servers that make it available,
are free of viruses or other harmful components.
GPP does not warrant or make any representations regarding the use or the
results of the use of the Service or materials in this Service or in
third-party sites in terms of their correctness, accuracy, timeliness,
reliability or otherwise.
You must provide and are solely responsible for all hardware and/or
software necessary to access the Service. You assume the entire cost of and
responsibility for any damage to, and all necessary maintenance, repair or
correction of, that hardware and/or software.
The Service is provided for informational purposes only, and is not
intended for trading or investing purposes, or for commercial use. Stock
and mutual fund quotes, and related financial news stories may be delayed
at least 20 minutes, as may be required by the stock exchanges and/or the
financial information services. The Service should not be used in any high
risk activities where damage or injury to persons, property, environment,
finances or business may result if an error occurs. You expressly assume
all risk for such use.
Online Commerce
Certain sections of the GPP site may allow you to purchase many different
types of products and services online that are provided by third parties.
GPP is not responsible for the quality, accuracy, timeliness, reliability
or any other aspect of these products and services. If you make a purchase
from a merchant on the GPP or on a site linked to by GPP, the information
obtained during your visit to that merchant's online store or site, and the
information that you give as part of the transaction, such as your credit
card number and contact information, may be collected by both the merchant
and GPP. A merchant may have privacy and data collection practices that are
different from ours. GPP has no responsibility or liability for these
independent policies. In addition, when you purchase products or services
on or through the GPP website, you may be subject to additional terms and
conditions that specifically apply to your purchase or use of such products
or services. For more information regarding a merchant, its online store,
its privacy policies, and/or any additional terms and conditions that may
apply, visit that merchant's website and click on its information links or
contact the merchant directly. You release GPP and its affiliates from any
damages that you incur, and agree not to assert any claims against them,
arising from your purchase or use of any products or services made
available by third parties through GPP.
You agree to be financially responsible for all purchases made by you or
someone acting on your behalf through the Service. You agree to use the
Service and to purchase services or products through the Service for
legitimate, non-commercial purposes only. You also agree not to make any
purchases for speculative, false or fraudulent purposes or for the purpose
of anticipating demand for a particular product or service. You agree to
only purchase goods or services for yourself or for another person for whom
you are legally permitted to do so. When making a purchase for a third
party that requires you to submit the third party's personal information to
GPP or a merchant, you represent that you have obtained the express consent
of such third party to provide such third party's personal information.
Use of Company Directories
The information contained in any company directories that may be provided
on the Service is provided for business lookup purposes and is not to be
used for marketing or telemarketing applications. This information may not
be copied or redistributed and is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any
kind. In no event will GPP or its suppliers be liable in any way with
regard to such information.
Interactive Features
This Service may include a variety of features, such as bulletin boards,
web logs, chat rooms, and email services, which allow feedback to GPP and
real-time interaction between users, and other features, such as
personalized homes pages and email services, which allow users to
communicate with others. Responsibility for what is posted on bulletin
boards, web logs, chat rooms and other public posting areas on the Service
lies with each user - you alone are responsible for the material you post.
GPP does not control the messages, information or files that you or others
may provide through the Service. It is a condition of your use of the
Service that you do not:
Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Service.
Use the Service to post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive,
libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane or indecent

constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal
offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any local,
state, national or international law.
Use the Service to post or transmit any information, software or other
material that violates or infringes upon the rights of others, including
material that is an invasion of privacy or publicity rights or that is

owner or rights holder.

approval of GPP.
Gather for marketing purposes any email addresses or other personal
information that has been posted by other users of the Service.
You understand that GPP has no obligation to monitor any bulletin boards,
chat rooms, web logs, or other areas of the Service through which users can
supply information or material. However, GPP reserves the right at all
times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law,
regulation or governmental request, or to refuse to post or to remove any
information or materials, in whole or in part, that in GPP's sole
discretion are objectionable or in violation of these Terms of Service.
Registration
To access certain features of the Service, GPP may ask you to provide
certain demographic information including your gender, year of birth, zip
code and country. In addition, if you elect to sign-up for a particular
feature of the Service, such as chat rooms, web logs, or bulletin boards,
you may also be asked to register with GPP on the form provided and such
registration may require you to provide personally identifiable information
such as your name and email address. You agree to provide true, accurate,
current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the
Service's registration form. If GPP has reasonable grounds to suspect that
such information is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, we have the right to
suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future
use of the Service (or any portion thereof). Our use of any personally
identifiable information you provide to us as part of the registration
process is governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy.
Passwords
To use certain features of the Service, you will need a username and
password, which you will receive through the Service's registration
process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the
password and account, and are responsible for all activities (whether by
you or by others) that occur under your password or account. You agree to
notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or account
or any other breach of security, and to ensure that you exit from your
account at the end of each session. GPP cannot and will not be liable for
any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your password or
account information.
Classified Advertising
When you submit a classified ad for publication on GPP, you agree that the
advertisement as it appears on GPP becomes the property of GPP and you
assign all ownership interest in the advertisement as it appears on the
Service under copyright law or otherwise to GPP. Submission of an
advertisement does not constitute a commitment to publish the
advertisement, and publication of an advertisement does not constitute an
agreement for continued publication. We will accept only standard
abbreviations and required proper punctuation. GPP reserves the right to
edit, reclassify, revise, reject or cancel any advertisement at any time,
in its sole discretion. Rates and specifications are subject to change.
Real Estate Advertisements; Equal Housing Opportunity
All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Federal Fair Housing
Act, which makes it illegal to advertise "any preference, limitation, or
discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial
status, or national origin, or intention to make any such preference,
limitation, or discrimination." State law may also forbid discrimination
based on these factors and others. We will not knowingly accept any
advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. All persons
are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal
opportunity basis. To complain of discrimination call the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development at 800-669-9777.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall
GPP, its subsidiary and parent companies or affiliates be liable for any
direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages that result
from the use of, or the inability to use, GPP materials, products, or
services, or third-party materials, products, or services made available
through the Service, or any part of the Service, even if GPP is advised
beforehand of the possibility of such damages. (Because some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of certain categories of damages, the
above limitation may not apply to you. In such states, the liability of
GPP, its subsidiary and parent companies or affiliates is limited to the
fullest extent permitted by such state law.) You specifically acknowledge
and agree that GPP is not liable for any defamatory, offensive or illegal
conduct of any user. If you are dissatisfied with any GPP materials,
products, or services, or with any of GPP's terms and conditions, your sole
and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Service.
Termination
GPP may cancel or terminate your right to use the Service or any part of
the Service at any time without notice. In the event of termination, you
are no longer authorized to access the part of the Service affected by such
cancellation or termination. The restrictions imposed on you with respect
to material downloaded from the Service, and the disclaimers and
limitations of liabilities set forth in these Terms of Service, shall
survive.
Other
This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between GPP and you with
respect to the subject matter contained in this agreement and supersedes
all previous and contemporaneous agreements, proposals and communications,
written oral. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions
that may apply when you use the products or services of a third party that
are provided through the Service. In the event of any conflict between any
such third-party terms and conditions and these Terms of Service, these
Terms of Service shall govern. This agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without
giving effect to any principles or conflicts of law. If any provision of
this agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable,
then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall
not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
