1. Automotive Content Rule This Ring is a general automotive ring and your site or page must be automotive related! Your site must be a Business, Club or Personal Automotive related web site or page. General web sites are not accepted unless your site contains a separate section on vehicles. If this is the type of site or page you have, that is the page you must register with the ring. The ringleader strictly enforces the "Automotive Content" rule. 2. Adult Content Rule Automotive-ring.com is a family safe surfing zone. We do not allow sites with offensive language, violent pictures or text, sexually explicit photos, graphics and or text. This includes your links, Message Boards anything on or linked out of your web site. Also excluded are offensive sites with racial, pro or anti religious sites, or sites spewing other propaganda that we feel is not appropriate for all age viewers. If your site contains this type of adult content or links your application will not be processed! Automotive-ring.com does not want to censor anyone's site or change anyone's creative format! Your application to the ring is your choice. Automotive-ring.com reserves the right to refuse acceptance to any applicant for any reason. Members found with adult content after there site has been approved will be immediately removed from the ring without warning. "Adult Content" is widely open for interpretation. Just remember it is the ringleaders interpretation that counts. 3. One Application Per Web Site/Page Rule. The Automotive Ring will only allow ONE membership per web site/page. The only exceptions to this rule that the ringleader will ever consider granting is when someone has a site/page, and is also the "webmaster" for their club (If the club is clearly a separate entity/ website). There is No Limit on the number of web pages you can place your ring graphics/links on. 4. Automotive Ring Member Link Rule. All members are required to add a return member link to the Automotive Ring. This link can be a standard text or graphic link provided by the ring. It must be added to your page within 5 days after submitting your application. The required return member link must be added before your site can be added to the ring listings & search engine. Approved members are issued a contact page housed on the ring server. The Ring HTML navigation code along with your site name and description are added your member contact page. Your member contact page points to your site in three ways. The ring uses a automated system to check your return link and if not present the system will automatically remove your site from the ring. Removal of the required member link is grounds for your site to be removed from the ring. Your required member link must be maintained at all times. 5. Under Construction Rule. To be considered for membership in Automotive Ring your site must have been online for at least 30 days and not Under Construction. While we understand web pages are in a constant state of construction your site must have adequate Automotive Content (Automotive Content Rule) on your page BEFORE applying for acceptance! This is to prevent the Automotive Ring from becoming a ring made up of only "one-pagers" with "under construction" plastered all over them. 6. Copy-Righted Web Page/Content Rule Automotive-ring.com will not be placed in the middle of any copyright disputes! We have no way of knowing if something actually belongs to you, or if you did or did not give permission (either explicit or implied) to someone else to use your content/work. If you find that someone "stole" or "borrowed" something from you..please leave Automotive-ring.com out of it! We will not get involved in anything that may cause Automotive-ring.com legal problems. We spend Hours each week keeping up the ring because we are car and truck crazy! If we do hear grumbling about "borrowed content" we do reserve the right to terminate both sites! Rather than get in the middle of it. However, we also reserve the right to do nothing! There are no exceptions to this rule.
