Welcome to Newsgroup-Binaries.com Terms
of Service
These Terms are the agreement between you & Centaur
Networks LLC
1. THIS IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU & CENTAUR NETWORKS
LLC You agree that the services Centaur Networks LLC provides
you on Newsgroup-Binaries.com are subject to the following
Terms of Service. The most current version of these Terms
of Service shall be posted at: <http://www.Newsgroup-Binaries.com/binary-tos.asp>.
Each time you login to your account, you are promising that
you agree to the then-current version of these Terms of

may have terms of use that pertain to only those services.
Those terms shall be posted on the front page of such services
and are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms
of Service.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE Centaur Networks provides its
Members with access to Usenet newsgroups (the "Service")
as provided by our wholesalers. We do not own or operate
Usenet servers. The Service is designed to appeal to a broad
audience and is UNCENSORED. Adult material is available.
PLEASE REPORT TO US ANY CONTENT YOU BELIEVE IS ILLEGAL.
("Content" means information, data, text, software,
music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or
other materials.) Some Content may be mislabeled, fraudulent
or otherwise deceptive.
2.1. The Service is provided "AS-IS" AND "AS
AVAILABLE."
2.2. You are responsible for providing and paying for all
equipment and services necessary to access the Internet:
such as telephone, computer hardware and software, and a
connection to the Internet.
2.3. Centaur Networks reserves the right to change or eliminate,
at any time without notice, any Content, access to or use
of any portion of the Service or the Newsgroup-Binaries.com
website, including limiting the time of availability, geographic

are permitted to use it.
2.4. The Service is subject to causes beyond our control,
such as interruption of feeds from its suppliers, power
failure, equipment failure, inability to obtain necessary
services or supplies, communications problems, acts of God,
acts of government, war, civil disorder, labor disputes
and the like.
2.5. The Service is subject to limits from its suppliers
that affect your use of and access to the Service, such
as the transfer rate of Content, the maximum number of days
that Content will be available, the maximum size of a particular
item of Content or the aggregate size of Content from a
particular user or originating from all Centaur Networks'
users. We cannot warn you of particular limits, nor when
limits may be reached, because these limits change irregularly
and are affected by many factors outside our knowledge and
control.
2.6. Dealings With Advertisers Centaur Networks does not
control, investigate, evaluate or endorse any goods, services
or advertisers found on or through the Service. Centaur
Networks is not responsible for payment, delivery or quality

advertising, goods, services or other materials on or available
from such sites or resources.

for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any dealings
with, or as the result of the presence of, such links, goods,
services, materials or advertisers on the Service.
