Please read them carefully before entering an FT Web property (“FT Web Property”), and refer to them as necessary as you explore each FT Web Property. Through its network of FT Web Properties, FT provides you with access to a variety of text, information, graphics, photos, sounds, video, product information and other materials (“Materials”) accessible on or from one or more of those FT Web Properties. Your use of an FT Web Property or the Materials means that you accept the TOU. If you do not agree with the TOU in any way, please do not visit or use an FT Web Property or use the Materials. FT reserves the right to update the TOU at any time without notice to you. The most current version of the TOU and privacy statement can be reviewed by clicking on the “Legal Notice” or “Privacy Statement” hypertext links located at the bottom of our Web pages on each of our Web Properties. Unless otherwise shown below, the term “FT” refers collectively to Fuel Tech, Inc. and each of its affiliated or subsidiary companies.
1. Confidentiality, User Submission of Information
Each area of each FT Web Property which you access by using a password or other security device contains proprietary and confidential information of FT and/or its suppliers, including engineering documents, manuals, software, program listings, data file printouts, and other technical and marketing information ("FT Confidential Information"). By accessing FT Confidential Information, you agree to keep this information confidential and to use the information solely for the purpose of maintaining and supporting your use of FT products and services. You also agree to be careful with this FT Confidential Information and to only disclose it within your company to employees with a "need to know" who are instructed and agree not to disclose the information and not to use the information for any purpose not expressly permitted by the TOU. You will not alter, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or modify any FT Confidential Information that you receive.
FT discourages you from sending us any information that you consider to be confidential or proprietary to or through an FT Web Property. Please note that if you do send us any such information or material, FT will assume it is not confidential. By sending FT information or material, you grant FT an unrestricted, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, transmit and distribute those materials or information, and you also agree that FT is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques that you send us for any purpose.
You are prohibited from posting or transmitting to or from an FT Web Property any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane material, or any other material that would violate any law. You agree to indemnify FT and their directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any and all third party demands, claims, liabilities, lawsuits, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from your breach of any of this provision.
