The Gemology Project site terms of use

Preamble

The Gemology Project site is only a venue. This web site acts as a venue for interested parties to share ideas regarding gemology and related topics and does not always screen or censor the content presented. As a result, The Gemology Project has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the information posted or the truth or accuracy of such information.

You assume all risks associated with dealing with other users with whom you come in contact through the Gemology Project site and/or any other web site linked herein.

Release of Claims

Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, The Gemology Project cannot and does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behavior of participants on the site, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release The Gemology Project (and all affilates, sponsors and supporters) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential, direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
