GeodSoft
Unauthorized Use
Users of GeodSoft.com are authorized to access
information on this site via the HTTP or HTTPS protocols from web
browsers or other software or hardware that includes end user web
browsing and web content access as part of its basic functionality.
Users may access the sites via DNS entries or IP addresses. Users may
use any URL provided on any GeodSoft.com page or directly created from
any GeodSoft.com web form to access content on our site. Users may
use links from other web sites, or received from other users via e-mail,
or by other means, to access GeodSoft.com content. Users may shorten
such URLs by removing query information, then HTML
document names, then lower level directory names, in an attempt to
find more general information, if our navigation aids do not seem suitable
to your needs. All other attempts to obtain information from, or
access GeodSoft.com is prohibited.
Public search (web indexing) services that respect the restrictions
specified in robots.txt and limit retrieval rates, are allowed. Only
authorized spiders and their operators working from the same or related
IP addresses are allowed to access robots.txt. All
other script, robot, programmed, or automated access is
prohibited, unless prior permission is requested and granted.
Automated access includes browser prefetch addons, such as Firefox's Fasterfox.
Any attempt to access unauthorized files, directories, or obtain other
information, to interrupt services, to create significant numbers of
error messages or log file entries, or to cause programs or security
to fail, by entering invalid or fraudulent information into web forms,
by constructing invalid URLs, or otherwise transmitting to GeodSoft
computers any data, which may have such effect, is prohibited. Use of
any protocol other that HTTP and HTTPS is prohibited. Deliberate
transmission of corrupt or invalid IP packets to GeodSoft.com is
prohibited. The use of any port scanning tools or other hardware or
software designed to obtain information about our computers or
network, not explicitly provided on our web pages is prohibited.
Detection of any prohibited activities may result in blocked access
and or may be reported to your ISP or any other appropriate authorities.
Beginning in early 2007, dramatically increased hosting costs driven
by excessive bot activity has forced active measures against
unauthorized automated access. Other unauthorized activites have been
detected. I have substantially reduced the amount of
(unwanted) traffic at GeodSoft. Please do not jeopardize your access
and possibly that of innocent customers at your ISP by using page
prefetch tools, wget, or any other automated web access or retrieval tool.
A single automated
access of ten or fewer pages may permanently cost you access to this site.
Depending on varying circumstances, you may get away with
multiple automated accesses, and then one day find yourself locked
out permanently.
GeodSoft.com reserves the right to block any person or persons, company, organization,
IP address or addresses or block or range of IP addresses, user agent, ISP, country,
or entity that I may have overlooked, for any reason that seems to us to be in
our own interests. Not that it's technologicallly possible, but we will never
discriminate against a U.S. citizen based on age, sex, race, national origin or
place of birth, or sexual or political orientation. Regarding physical handicap,
when this site was developed, we did our best to comply with the accessibility
guidelines then available. Newer standards suggest techniques we use are not
optimal. We apolgize if anyone finds this site difficult to use. Ease of use was
the overriding criteia in all design decions; if we failed to accomplish our goals,
that is regretted. This site has no source of income and operates entirely at a
loss. All material here is presented in the hope that some will find it useful,
but as is, without warrantee of any kind. If this site does not meet any of your
needs there are millions of other web sites to choose from, and we invite you
to do so.
