| By
using Maltalinks search engine services ("Maltalinks
Search Services"), you agree to be bound by
the following terms and conditions (the "Terms
of Service").
Content Linked to by Maltalinks
The sites displayed as search results or linked
to by Maltalinks Search Services are developed
by people over whom Maltalinks exercises no control.
The search results that appear from Maltalinks
indices are indexed by Maltalinks automated machinery
and computers, and Maltalinks cannot and does
not screen the sites before including them in
the indices from which such automated search
results are gathered. A search using Maltalinks
Search Services may produce search results and
links to sites that some people find objectionable,
inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee
that a Maltalinks search will not locate unintended
or objectionable content and assume no responsibility
for the content of any site included in any search
results or otherwise linked to by the Maltalinks
Search Services.
Personal Use Only
The Maltalinks Search Services are made available
for your personal, non-commercial use only. You
may not use the Maltalinks Search Services to
sell a product or service, or to increase traffic
to your Web site for commercial reasons, such
as advertising sales. You may not take the results
from a Maltalinks search and reformat and display
them, or mirror the Maltalinks home page or results
pages on your Web site. You may not "meta-search" Maltalinks.
If you want to make commercial use of the Maltalinks
Search Services, you must enter into an agreement
with Maltalinks to do so in advance. Please contact
us for more information.
If you are interested in adding a Maltalinks search
box to your web site or your company's web site,
we encourage you to do so.
No Automated Querying
You may not send automated queries of any sort
to Maltalinks system without express permission
in advance from Maltalinks. Note that "sending
automated queries" includes, among other
things:
- using any software which sends queries to Maltalinks
to determine how a website or webpage "ranks" on
Maltalinks for various queries;
- "
meta-searching" Maltalinks; and
- performing "offline" searches on
Maltalinks.
Please do not write to Maltalinks
to request permission to "meta-search" Maltalinks
for a research project, as such requests
will not be granted.

Requests for Removal of Links or Cached Materials
Maltalinks occasionally receives requests from
people to remove links from its indices. Although
Maltalinks reserves the right to address such
requests individually, the general approach that
Maltalinks takes reflects the following principles:
Maltalinks indices consist of information that
has been identified, indexed and compiled through
an automated process with no advance review by
human beings. Given the enormous volume of web
site information added, deleted, and changed on
a frequent basis, Maltalinks cannot and does not
screen anything made available through its indices.
For each web site reflected in Maltalinks indices,
if either (i) a site owner restricts access to
his or her web site or (ii) a site is taken down
from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by
the site owner or a third party in the second instance,
Maltalinks would consider on a case-by-case basis
requests to remove the link to that site from its
indices. However, if the operator of the site does
not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities
used to create the indices are likely to find that
site and index it again in a relatively short amount
of time.
Maltalinks stores many web pages in its cache
to retrieve for users as a back-up in case the
page's server temporarily fails. Site owners may
block Maltalinks from returning cached versions
of their pages by using the NOARCHIVE meta-tag.
Site owners may also request immediate removal
of cached page from the Maltalinks Search Service.
Maltalinks evaluates such requests for the immediate
removal of cached content on a case-by-case basis
and does not guarantee that every request will
be granted. The steps necessary to remove cached
pages, and to prevent a site from being cached
and/or included in the indices are described in
the Maltalinks Webmasters FAQ, accessible from
the home page of this site.
Miscellaneous Provisions
These Terms of Service will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the
Republic of Malta, without giving effect to its
conflict of laws provisions or your actual state
or country of residence. If for any reason a
court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision
or portion of the Terms of Service to be unenforceable,
the remainder of the Terms of Service will continue
in full force and effect.
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior
or contemporaneous understandings or agreements,
written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
Any waiver of any provision of the Terms of Service
will be effective only if in writing and signed
by Maltalinks.
