Using the Forum (message board)
Any communication or material that you post on any public area of the site (Forum, message board) including any
data, questions, comments, suggestions, or the like, is, and will be treated as, non-confidential and non-proprietary
information.
Mass-posting to the VTrain Forum and spamming its users are prohibited. Anyway, notice that the Authors cannot
prevent such abuse completely. For this reason, if you want to mention an email address in a posting, you are commended
to prevent spam bots from detecting the address properly. For example, you could write
user@domain.com as userNOSPAM@domain.com
The contents of the messages appearing in the VTrain Forum are the sole
responsibility of the users that post them and should not necessarily be relied upon. The Authors of VTrain shall
not be liable for nor do endorse any such contents.
The Authors reserve the right, but accept no obligation, to monitor, edit and translate the contents of the messages
posted to the VTrain Forum, to change the position of any messages within the Forum and to remove any material
from it. The Authors may take such measures at any time, at their sole discretion and without explanation.
Rights and concessions
Copyright notice
All rights over the contents of the installation file of VTrain, over the website of VTrain, and over the files

No part of the VTrain project is related in any way to any company. The project has been developed by Paul Rädle
whilst acting outside his capacity as an employee.
In all contexts, the word "we" refers to the free cooperation of individuals, and does not imply the
existence of a for-profit company.

Anyone may link to the HTML pages belonging to the VTrain website, provided that the target URL is not masked by
an HTML frame. Linking to other filetypes on the VTrain website without crediting their origin is expressly prohibited.

- No costs other than distribution costs shall be charged to the recipient.
- This software shall not be bundled or sold along with any other software.
- This software shall be identified clearly as shareware along with an accurate definition of ''shareware''.

and reverse engineering of any other kind, as well as creating derivative works based upon this program are expressly
prohibited. Lending and hiring of this program are also prohibited.
Disclaimer
No warranties
No liability for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided on the VTrain website can be accepted
by the Authors of VTrain.
The files you can download from the VTrain website have been checked for viruses, but no guarantee is given. Check
all downloaded files for viruses with an up-to-date antivirus program.
Third parties
None of the corporations or organizations or individuals mentioned in the documentation sanctions, sponsors, or
approves VTrain, the accompanying files, or the VTrain website.
Third-party products and web links are mentioned in the documentation as a convenience and for informational purposes
only, and their presence should not be construed as an endorsement or an approval by the authors of VTrain of any
of the products, services, or opinions of the respective corporation or organization or individual. Specifically,
- Use any third-party product at your own risk.
- The authors of VTrain take no responsibility for the content of third-party Internet sites. The responsibility for third-party sites lies exclusively with their editors.
On the other hand, nothing should be inferred from the presence or absence
of a product or a website in a listing.
Trademarks
The use of general descriptive names, trade names, trademarks, etc., on this website, even if the former are not
identified specifically, is not to be taken as a sign that such names may accordingly be used freely by anyone,
nor that such a use is endorsed by the Authors.
Political correctness
We have tried to use non-discriminating language wherever possible. Thus, you will sometimes find expressions such
as "(s)he" for he/she, "their" as an alternate for her/his, "them" for her/him, "salesperson"
instead of "salesman", etc. :-)
Privacy policy
The VTrain project is not in the business of product placement or intensive marketing. We want our relationship
with you to be completely transparent.
Personally identifiable information
The data contained in any private communication we receive from you will be stored in a machine-readable format.
Anyway, such data will be accessible only for the purpose they were destined for, and exclusively to the staff
entrusted with the pertaining task. Your personal data
will never be shared with anybody else. Nevertheless, in case your
email address is unobtainable, we may publish your initials and the name of your town on our website.
Of course, you can access, update or delete your personal information collected by us.
Mailing list
You will never be spammed indiscriminately by us. The only e-mails you may receive from us are notifications of
major updates in some of our software products -- and that makes fairly few times a year.
Most users appreciate that news. Anyway, if you consider our e-mails invade your privacy, please read this note:
When we receive any kind of query regarding this website,
the sender may be automatically added to our mailing list. If you do not want this to happen in your case, please
state so clearly in your message.
Of course, you can request unsubscription at any time, simply by sending us an e-mail:
- Request removal from the VTrain mailing list
Or, reversely, you can
Request inclusion in the VTrain mailing list (free)
Spam & Spoofing
Spammers are increasingly forging mail headers in their unsolicited commercial mail and/or virus-speading mail.
If you happen to receive such a message purporting to come from our domain, we want to reassure that the sender
address has been spoofed.
You can verify that the message did not come from our server by simply opening a "raw view" for the message.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to track the actual sender of such messages.
Partner sites
Some of the services offered on this website are managed by third parties. Examples include the VTrain Forum, the
counters that appear on the bottom of some pages on this website, and the payment gateways you can access from
this website. The use of any of these services implies your acceptance of Privacy Policy and Terms of Use of the
respective service provider as published on their website.
Said service providers may gather certain information either automatically (e.g. your IP address, the date and
time of your visit, etc.). By the way, it is not very easy to find out your personal identity from your IP. Only
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) knows which one of their customers is using a given IP at each moment. Moreover,
the storage space reserved for each of our counters has capacity for 100 hits only. This means that, depending
on the number of hits per day, your records will usually be deleted after one or two days.
