BY ACCESSING, BROWSING AND/OR USING FREEDOMNOW.ORG (THE "WIKI"), YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE, TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND TO COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE WIKI. YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES ON THE WIKI WILL RESULT IN AUTOMATIC TERMINATION OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED TO YOU, WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
Ethics 360 Media Private Limited ("Ethics 360"), which operates the Wiki may at any time without notice revise these terms by updating and amending the terms herein. By using the Wiki, you agree to be bound by such updated Terms of Use and should therefore periodically visit this page to determine the updated Terms of Use to which you are bound.
The Wiki is an online open-content collaborative portal made available by Ethics 360. Unlike the structure of many Wikis, this project allows visitors to alter some but not all original content provided by Ethics 360 ("Ethics 360 Content"). Edits, feedback and comments ("Feedback," and together with the Ethics 360 Content, the "Content") are welcomed and may be viewable by others accessing the Wiki. Even so, please be advised that Ethics 360 has not necessarily reviewed the Feedback found in the Wiki and the Feedback provided may not be complete, accurate or reliable information. Ethics 360 assumes no responsibility (and expressly disclaims responsibility) for updating the Wiki to keep information current or to ensure the accuracy or completeness of any posted information.
In consideration of your use of the Wiki, you represent and warrant to Ethics 360 that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from using the Wiki under the laws of Singapore or other applicable jurisdiction and you agree that you have not given false or erroneous information, assumed a false identity, or given any false information or the identity of another user, when using and/or registering for the use of the Wiki. If you provide any information that is untrue, false or erroneous, or if Ethics 360 has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, false or erroneous, Ethics 360 has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Wiki.
Ethics 360 does not guarantee the validity of the information found here at all times. The content of any given page may recently have been changed, vandalized or altered by someone whose opinion or information does not correspond with the state of knowledge in the relevant fields. The Content may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors and may be changed, improved or updated without notice. *Use of the Wiki and its Content is at your own risk.
Please be aware that Ethics 360 does not grant any rights or licences to any copyrights, patents, trademarks, or any other intellectual property rights, except as otherwise expressly stated for the Content. All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
Ethics 360 grants you non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited permission to access and display the pages within the Wiki, solely on your computer and solely for the purposes of assisting you with a background check for which you have the signed consent of the subject to conduct. If you use or reference Content from the Wiki, such Content is not to be constituted as information residing in the "public domain."
Content referenced on the Wiki may change at any time at Ethics 360's sole discretion and are not intended to be a commitment to future product or Content availability in any way.
No Formal Review
Ethics 360 provides no assurances that all required information to conduct an adequate background check may be resolved with the use of the Wiki or any Content. In addition, the Wiki is not uniformly reviewed; while readers may correct errors or engage in casual peer review, Ethics 360 has no legal duty to do so and thus all Content is PROVIDED "AS-IS". ETHICS 360 MAKES NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE WIKI, THE CONTENT AND/OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED VIA THE WIKI.

ETHICS 360 DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE WIKI OR THE CONTENT OR THAT SUCH CONTENT IS UP-TO-DATE OR THAT ANY ERRORS IN THE WIKI OR THE CONTENT WILL BE CORRECTED. ETHICS 360 EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM ANY DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, INTERNET ACCESS DIFFICULTIES OR MALFUNCTIONS IN EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE. Even documentation that has been vetted by informal peer review processes may later have been edited inappropriately, just before you view them.
Nothing contained in the Wiki is intended to, nor shall have the effect of, creating any warranties or representations from Ethics 360.
None of the contributors, sponsors, administrators, or anyone else connected with Ethics 360 in any way whatsoever will be responsible for the appearance of any inaccurate or libelous information or for your use of the information contained in or linked from this web site.
