The Shimitu Music Group Community

Terms and Conditions of Use

Please note that these Terms and Conditions are in addition to our Main Terms and Conditions and our Website Terms and Conditions.

General.

The Shimitu Music Community is part of The Shimitu Music Website, a site operated by Shimitu Music Group. Shimitu Music Group is a division of Shimitu Ltd. For these Terms and Conditions, The Shimitu Music Community is also known as The Shimitu Community.

Note that it is impossible for the staff or the owners of this forum to confirm the validity of posts. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the posted messages, and as such, are not responsible for the content contained within. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented. The posted messages express the views of the author, and not necessarily the views of this forum, its staff, its subsidiaries, or this forum's owner. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator or moderator of this forum immediately. The staff and the owner of this forum reserve the right to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if they determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, please realize that they may not be able to remove or edit messages immediately. This policy applies to member profile information as well.

You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners of this forum, any related websites to this forum, its staff, and its subsidiaries. The owners of this forum also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any other related information collected on this service) in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from any situation caused by your use of this forum.

You have the ability, as you register, to choose your username. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password out to another person except an administrator, for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another person's account for any reason. We also HIGHLY recommend you use a complex and unique password for your account, to prevent account theft.

After you register and login to this forum, you will be able to fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information the forum owner or staff determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable.

Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded. Should we deem it necessary you could be banned from The Shimitu Community, and your information passed to your ISP and/or the relevant authorities. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.

Also note that the software places a cookie, a text file containing bits of information (such as your username and password), in your browser's cache. This is ONLY used to keep you logged in/out. The software does not collect or send any other form of information to your computer.

In Addition, the following Terms and Conditions apply.

1. Search before posting.

Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news.

2. Member conduct.

2.1 Language: The Shimitu Community is a worldwide community. As a result, what may be OK to say in your part of the world, may not be OK elsewhere. Please don't direct profanity, sexually explicit language or other offensive content toward Members or their work. Conversely, while reading posts from other members, remember that the word you find offensive may not be offensive to the writer. Tolerance is a two-way street.

2.2 Nudity: The Shimitu Community is used by people of all ages. It is unacceptable to post nude or pornographic imagery, which includes the exposure of male or female genitalia and / or female breasts.

2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: The Shimitu Community is about sharing, and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and / or religious discussions: The Shimitu Community is a discussion forum. We do not support racial, political, religious or personally offensive material and therefore, none of these types of discussions are permitted.

2.5 All members are expected to read and adhere to The Shimitu Community rules, Our general Terms and Conditions, our Website Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy

3. Post using a clear and descriptive subject and message.

You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question, if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail, what your problem is and what you've done to try solving it.

4. Use the English language.

We understand that with all the different nationalities, not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're unable to post in English, use an online translator. You're free to include your original message in your own language, below the English translation. (This rule covers your posts, profile entries and signature).

5. Create a thread topic or post a message only once, this includes external links & streaming media.

As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer.

You can bump your unanswered question once every 24 hours

Duplicate threads and posts will be removed

Always post in an existing thread if a topic already exists, before creating a new thread.

Use our search function to find the best forum for your post.

Links to an external source are only allowed if relevant to the topic in hand. A description must be included, no copy & pasting from the original source.

Self-promotion is forbidden, this includes blogs, social media and video channels etc. Random links will be removed.

6. Do not post or request warez.

If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used.

7. Do not sell or trade on the forums.

If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.

8. Donations.

As a user, you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work, however donations up front are not allowed. This forum is about sharing and not about getting paid to do something... that is what your job is for.

9. Don't get us into trouble.

Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.

10. Help others if you can.

If you see posts from others where you can help, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

11. Don't post with the intention of selling something.   

Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you're posting an exclusive release for The Shimitu Community.   

Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other sites is prohibited.

Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.

12. Sharing

The Shimitu Community is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.

In order to preserve the delicate balance between sharing for the good of the community and blatant self-promotion, all members must understand (and agree) to the following:

12.1. Give credits where due - Credits and acknowledgements for using and releasing work which is based on someone else's work are an absolute must. Works reported to have no credits will be taken down until proper acknowledgements are added by the member in question;

12.2. Courtesy. Be courteous with all other users including guests.

12.3. Re-releasing other's works as your own is forbidden.

In summary, we want people to have access to work and knowledge alike. Sharing is good and courtesy and ethics go a long way.

Members with questions, comments, complaints, or concerns about our rules (or anything!) should send contact us using the available form. We are here to help!

13. Advertising and Income Generation

Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay-per-click links, all forms of crypto-mining and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use The Shimitu Community to make money.
(However, hosting sites that provide a small amount of income, are GPL compliant, have direct download links, and minimal ads are allowed contingent on approval.)

14. Create only ONE User Account

You are allowed ONE User Account at The Shimitu Community. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them, and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.

15. Keep threads / posts on-topic

Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.

General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.

Q&A Help & Troubleshooting Forums - For all question / request threads and posts. If there is no Q&A Help & Troubleshooting forum, use the General Forum of the relevant device

We appreciate The Shimitu Community is accessed by members from all over the world. The laws of England shall apply throughout this agreement and to all users accessing The Shimitu Community. In addition, local laws specific to your country will and shall apply.
