	~~This is a long-running site that actually involved~~ from ~~pre-World Wide Web groups that met~~ in ~~person~~, and ~~over distances via postal mail. (!)~~.		== Refraining from Certain Activities ==
			The Xenharmonic Wiki only exists because of the vibrant community of users like you who collaborate to write, edit, and curate the content. We happily welcome your participation in this community. We encourage you to be civil and polite in your interactions with others in the community, to act in good faith, and to make edits and contributions aimed at furthering the mission of the wiki.

	~~We here are devoted~~ to ~~spreading useful knowledge of microtonal music~~, ~~in all forms~~ and ~~genres,~~ to ~~anyone who wants to learn~~, and ~~with anyone who wants to help~~.		Certain activities, whether legal or illegal, may be harmful to other users and violate our rules, and some activities may also subject you to liability. Therefore, for your own protection and for that of other users, you may not engage in such activities on our sites. These activities include:
			: '''Harassing and Abusing Others'''

	~~We do welcome newcomers~~, ~~as long as they don't cause problems~~, and ~~are respectful. To that end~~, ~~please play nice~~.		::* Engaging in harassment, threats, stalking, spamming, or vandalism; and
			::* Transmitting chain mail, junk mail, or spam to other users.

	~~And remember, this site is run by volunteer contributors who are actual humans with real lives and stuff.~~		: '''Violating the Privacy of Others'''

	~~Basically~~ the ~~only rules here are~~:		::* Infringing the privacy rights of others under the laws of the United States of America or other applicable laws (which may include the laws where you live or where you view or edit content);
			::* Soliciting personally identifiable information for purposes of harassment, exploitation, violation of privacy, or any promotional or commercial purpose not explicitly approved by the Xenharmonic Wiki; and
			::* Soliciting personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18 for an illegal purpose or violating any applicable law regarding the health or well-being of minors.

	~~--We have a 1-strike rule for anyone intentionally doing destructive behavior. (Like intentionally blanking a page, [https~~:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandalism_on_Wikipedia vandalism]~~, ~~calling people names~~, ~~etc.) Do any of those, and you~~'~~re gone for good.~~		: '''Engaging in False Statements, Impersonation, or Fraud'''

	~~--At some point~~, ~~someone will someone invariably edit someone else's work in a way the other person doesn't like. This~~ is ~~expected~~, and ~~can be resolved by reasonable people~~.		::* Intentionally or knowingly posting content that constitutes libel or defamation;
			::* With the intent to deceive, posting content that is false or inaccurate;
			::* Attempting to impersonate another user or individual, misrepresenting your affiliation with any individual or entity, or using the username of another user with the intent to deceive; and
			::* Engaging in fraud.

	~~But if you do this repeatedly in a way that causes strife, if it makes you a burden here, then you~~'~~re gone for a year. After a year you can re-apply, explain how you~~'~~ve changed, and we will reevaluate.~~		: '''Committing Infringement'''

			::* Infringing copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other proprietary rights under applicable law.

	~~Thank you. And if you find the site useful, please tell two friends!~~		: '''Misusing Our Services for Other Illegal Purposes'''

			::* Posting child pornography or any other content that violates applicable law concerning child pornography;
			::* Posting or trafficking in obscene material that is unlawful under applicable law; and
			::* Using the services in a manner that is inconsistent with applicable law.

			: '''Engaging in Disruptive and Illegal Misuse of Facilities'''

	==~~LEGAL~~==		::* Posting or distributing content that contains any viruses, malware, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code, or other device that could harm our technical infrastructure or system or that of our users;
	(to ~~come~~)		::* Engaging in automated uses of the site that are abusive or disruptive of the services and have not been approved by the Xenharmonic Wiki community;
			::* Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on the wiki or the networks or servers connected with the wiki;
			::* Disrupting the services by inundating the wiki with communications or other traffic that suggests no serious intent to use the wiki for its stated purpose;
			::* Knowingly accessing, tampering with, or using any of our non-public areas in our computer systems without authorization; and
			::* Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any of our technical systems or networks unless all the following conditions are met:

			:::* such actions do not unduly abuse or disrupt our technical systems or networks;
			:::* such actions are not for personal gain (except for credit for your work);
			:::* you report any vulnerabilities to Xenharmonic Wiki admins (or fix it yourself); and
			:::* you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.
			We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the above terms.

			== Password Security ==
			You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and should never disclose it to any third party.

			== DMCA Compliance ==
			The Xenharmonic Wiki wants to ensure that the content that we host can be re-used by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers.

			However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the Chilling Effects website.

			If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the wiki without your permission, you may request that the content be removed under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at xenwiki{{@}}gmail.com or snail mail our designated agent at this address.

			Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at xenwiki{{@}}gmail.com.

			== Third-party Websites and Resources ==
			You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the wiki may contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

			== Disclaimers ==
			Your use of our services is at your sole risk. We provide these services on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and we expressly disclaim all express or implied warranties of all kinds, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty that our services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure.

			We are not responsible for the content, data, or actions of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from our services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms of Use.

			Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through your use of our services is done at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of any such material. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any content or communication maintained by the service. We retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

			Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the types of disclaimers in this section, so they may not apply to you either in part or in full depending on the law.
