These Terms of Service describe the proper kinds of conduct and prohibited uses of the Xerox Community Forum. These terms are not exhaustive and Xerox reserves the right to modify them at any time, effective upon posting of the modified terms on the Community Forum. By registering as a user or using the Community Forum, you agree to abide by these terms as modified from time to time. Any violation of these terms may result in the suspension or termination of your right to access the forum.

Purpose

The Xerox Community Forum is a peer-to-peer support channel for Xerox products and services.   We welcome all users as long as they observe the community rules of conduct set forth in these Terms of Service.

The Xerox Forum is not intended to provide a means for obtaining Xerox-provided support and does not replace the standard processes for requesting onsite service. When contacting Xerox for support, you may be required to provide proof of a service contract or other product entitlement prior to receiving support or service.

Conduct

You may not use your registration membership (or allow anyone else to use your registration membership) to post or transmit:

1. Content that is abusive, vulgar, obscene, hateful, fraudulent, or that discloses private or personal matters concerning any person. This includes language, information, or images.

10. Advertising, promotional materials, or other forms of solicitation including chain letters, pyramid schemes, class action suits, or charitable appeals; this includes advertising links in signatures.
11. Any file or link to a file that contains viruses, corrupted files, "Trojan Horses," or any other contaminating or destructive features that may damage someone else's computer.

3. Evading bans or suspensions or otherwise disregarding directions from moderators or administrators.

Moderators may at any time and without prior notice remove any posted message or thread, delete words that violate these guidelines from posted messages,

remove any content deemed irrelevant, inappropriate or overly self-promotional

or ban your account for violating the above reasonable provisions.
