Ownership
All right, title and interest in and to the content displayed on the Web site, including but not limited to the Web site's look and feel, information, text, graphics, images, sound or video materials, designs, trademarks, service marks, trade names and the URL ("Content"), is the property of YachtUniverse or its partners, agents and third parties.

License
Except as expressly provided in this Section, nothing contained in the Terms of Use or on the Web site shall be construed as conferring any license or right, expressly, by implication, by estoppel or otherwise, under any of YachtUniverse's intellectual property rights, or under any third party's intellectual property rights, and no part of this Web site may be reproduced, republished, copied, transmitted, or distributed in any form or by any means except as expressly stated in the Terms of Use.

You are hereby granted a nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable, limited license to view, reproduce, print, and distribute the Content retrieved from this Web site provided that (a) such use of the Content does not interfere with YachtUniverse's business and (b) you do not remove or obscure the copyright notice or other notices displayed on the Content. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

Confidentiality
Your confidential use of the Web site cannot be guaranteed by YachtUniverse. YachtUniverse discourages you from sending any information that you consider to be confidential or proprietary through this Web site and YachtUniverse is not responsible for any harm that you or any person may suffer as a result of a breach of confidentiality with respect to your use of this site. Please note that if you do send us any such information or material, YachtUniverse will assume it is not confidential. By sending YachtUniverse information or material, you grant YachtUniverse an unrestricted, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, transmit and distribute those materials or information, and you also agree that YachtUniverse is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques that you send us for any purpose.

Security
We take every precaution to protect our site visitor's and member's information. When site visitors or members submit sensitive information via the Web site at YachtUniverse'ss request such information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/request form asks site visitors or members to enter sensitive information, that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry, secure socket layer (SSL). While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer appears locked.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything reasonably in our power to protect site visitor and member information off-line. All of our members' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific task (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personal information. Finally, the servers on which we store personal information are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about the security at the Web site, you can send an e-mail message to info@yachtuniverse.com
