General Terms and Conditions of Your Visit

When you visit this site, you are responsible to evaluate the content and whether and how you use it.

Pritchard Law Webs provides this site and its contents on an "as is" basis and makes no representations or warranties concerning site function or content, including but not limited to any warranty of accuracy, completeness, or currency. (We don't particularly like writing these sorts of things but we are venturing into new areas without clear rules. So we want to clarify some points.)

Pages on this site may refer to the date of their re-generation through PLW/Sitebuilder, our custom web publication system. We regenerate pages for a variety of reasons. We may re-generate the whole site or a significant portion of the site at one time. You cannot rely on our re-generation date to determine currency of information.

Pritchard Law Webs reserves the right to remove or rename content and pages from this site without notice and without restriction.

E-mail links and forms are offered only as a convenience for those interested in sending unencrypted communications over the public Internet.

Please do not send e-mails summarizing personal or business legal problems because we cannot provide individualized assistance, research, or advice.

Nothing we publish is intended to be a substitute for an attorney's advice or the results that might be obtained by a skilled legal researcher or reference librarian.

Please do not ask us to undertake custom research, provide you with legal services, legal reference assistance, or referrals to other sites, organizations, or to individuals. We do not receive any funding from any source that would enable us to provide such services. Local bar associations, law libraries, government agencies, non-profit, and special interest organizations may be of further assistance.

If you cannot find information you seek at this site, you may wish to use other web-based search engines and directories to find other sites that contain more information.

This site contains links to other sites, individual pages, and/or files that others have published or posted on the Internet. Pritchard Law Webs has no responsibility for, or control over, such sites or the information on them.

If you find any errors, receive any error messages, or encounter any inoperable functions or links anywhere on this site, your courtesy in advising us would be greatly appreciated.

Information provided to Pritchard Law Webs through this site becomes our property when submitted. Any other arrangement requires our prior agreement in writing.

This site may serve as an entry portal for private content intended only for particular authorized persons. If you do not have prior specific authorization from us to enter such an area, entry, as well as attempted entry, is specifically prohibited. Violation of this provision constitutes your irrevocable agreement to be liable for all consequences and damages resulting from unauthorized entry or attempted entry as well as the reasonable value of attorney services or fees to enforce this provision.

We maintain or receive site traffic and activity reports to help us improve the site. You are free to use privacy enhancing technologies should you wish to prevent your browser from reporting the temporary or permanent I.P. address of your browser.

Internet Law Library at Pritchard Law Webs

The Internet Law Library portion of this site derives from files originally published by the U.S. House of Representatives at http://law.house.gov from 1994 through May 28, 1999. In February, 1999, the U.S. House of Representatives announced it would no longer host the Internet Law Library and sought successor publishers. Thereafter, Pritchard Law Webs requested and received the entire contents of the Internet Law Library from the U.S. House of Representatives Law Revision Counsel, first posting them on Priweb.com on April 26, 1999.

This site has no affiliation with the U.S. House of Representatives. Pritchard Law Webs reserves the right to add and remove links or otherwise update or modify the contents of pages that originally comprised the Internet Law Library. Pritchard Law Webs makes no claim of copyright to original U.S. government works but does claim copyright for its own contributions to and alterations of the Internet Law Library as it continues to be published at Pritchard Law Webs.

As published by Pritchard Law Webs, this site cannot be relied on as an official government work and should not be used to determine official policy or the official status of any matter.

We now publish the Internet Law Library out of our own database, using dynamic web application generation techniques. We reserve the right to change both the substance and presentation of the Internet Law Library at Pritchard Law Webs in any fashion. Our filenames do, however, currently correspond with the naming convention originally adopted by the U.S. House of Represenatatives.

Other Terms and Conditions on this page also apply to the Internet Law Library. These terms and conditions control over any terms and conditions originally published by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Certain other sites on the Internet also publish information originally coming from the U.S. House of Represenatives Internet Law Library. Pritchard Law Webs has no affiliation with such sites and disclaims any responsibility to co-ordinate its Internet Law Library with theirs. Nonetheless, if we believe that it may be beneficial, we may initiate, assist in, or receive the benefit of collaborative efforts with respect to the Internet Law Library.
