Copyright, Privacy Policy & Disclaimer #
An Apology from the team:
Nobody wants to see a lot of terms and conditions and so we apologise for the contents of this and related pages. However, in an increasingly litigious world, we must protect ourselves and inform you of our obligations and limitations etc. Thus, in this one paragraph here, we want to say without prejudice that we hope you will find that the terms and conditions below and throughout our website simply amount to this: Whilst trying to make a living like everyone else, we won't do anything nasty or silly with your data nor abuse the privilege of your very gratefully anticipated visit. We are genuinely trying to provide a reasonable, useful, consistent and inoffensive service but we don't want to be unreasonably punished or even have to throw ourselves off bridges for oversights, errors and omissions. Oh, and we like freedom of speech and to avoid misunderstandings. And that's it in a nutshell! If you think there's anything unreasonable or unfair or even simply annoying herein, let us know...

5 COMMENTS, IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS, PROPOSALS:
Please do not send us your ideas. You may not lay claim to an idea that you freely gave or make known to us without warning. This paragraph is a simple explanation and does not form part of the following legal statements and requirements. This request is to protect us from laws that might allow individuals to alledge they gave us an idea and then seek compensation for the use of that idea. We don't understand how laws can allow that to happen when something is just given to us without clearly qualifying ownership, but apparently it does, so we have to write some stuff to protect ourselves from it. Please do be aware that we have considered almost all ideas over the years and they may already be worked on, built in elsewhere, or may be the subject of a future release. You are hereby asked Not to send us ideas and proposals. If you do send us ideas, you must agree with the following: Any Ideas or similar (Eg: Comments, Ideas, Suggestions, Proposals) that QSL receives are not considered as confidential or proprietary, nor should it be presumed that QSL was not already aware of or in possession of the Idea. If in the unlikely event the idea you send us is proven to be partly or wholly unique and/or original, unless it is otherwise formally acknowledged, you send us your ideas in the knowledge that you are transferring the ownership of the idea to us, and thus in effect you are gifting us the idea (free of charge, let or hinderence) to be used in anyway we see fit without being obligated to protect it's confidentiality, compensate or remunerate you for it. If in the unlikely event a member of our staff mistakenly refers to an idea as being original or similar, please refer to our CORRESPONDENCE terms. (This applies especially to include but not limited to concepts, images, plans, blueprints).
