Scrügy Terms of Service for Your Personal Use

By using Scrügy's search engine or other Scrügy services, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Service").

Content Linked to by Scrügy

The sites displayed as search results or linked to by Scrügy are developed by people over whom Scrügy exercises no control. The search results that appear from Scrügy's indices are indexed by Scrügy's automated machinery and computers, and Scrügy cannot and may not screen the sites before including them in the indices from which such automated search results are gathered. A search using Scrügy may produce search results and links to sites that some people find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee that a Scrügy search will not locate unintended or objectionable content and assume no responsibility for the content of any site included in any search results or otherwise linked to by the Scrügy.

Personal Use Only

The Scrügy services are made available for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use Scrügy services or search results to sell a product or service, or to increase traffic to your Web site for commercial reasons, such as advertising sales. You may not take the results from a Scrügy search and reformat and display them, or mirror the Scrügy home page or results pages on your Web site. You may not "meta-search" Scrügy. If you want to make commercial use of the Scrügy, you must enter into an agreement with Scrügy to do so in advance. Please contact us for more information.

No Automated Querying

You may not send automated queries of any sort to Scrügy's system without express permission in advance from Scrügy. Note that "sending automated queries" includes, among other things:

• using any software which sends queries to Scrügy to determine how a website or webpage "ranks" on Scrügy for various queries;
• "meta-searching" Scrügy; and
• performing "offline" searches on Scrügy.

Please do not write to Scrügy to request permission to "meta-search" Scrügy for a research project, as such requests will not be granted.

Requests for Removal of Links or Cached Materials

Scrügy occasionally receives requests from people to remove links from its indices. Although Scrügy reserves the right to address such requests individually, the general approach that Scrügy takes reflects the following principles:

Scrügy's indices consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings. Given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, Scrügy cannot and does not screen anything made available through its indices. For each web site reflected in Scrügy's indices, if either (i) a site owner restricts access to his or her web site or (ii) a site is taken down from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by the site owner or a third party in the second instance, Scrügy would consider on a case-by-case basis requests to remove the link to that site from its indices. However, if the operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create the indices are likely to find that site and index it again in a relatively short amount of time.

Scrügy stores many web pages in its cache to retrieve for users as a back-up in case the page's server temporarily fails. Site owners may block Scrügy from returning cached versions of their pages by using the NOARCHIVE meta-tag. Site owners may also request immediate removal of cached page from the Scrügy search service. Scrügy evaluates such requests for the immediate removal of cached content on a case-by-case basis and does not guarantee that every request will be granted. The steps necessary to remove cached pages, and to prevent a site from being cached and/or included in the indices are described in the Scrügy FAQ, accessible from the home page of this site.

Miscellaneous Provisions

These Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions or your actual state or country of residence. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision or portion of the Terms of Service to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms of Service will be effective only if in writing and signed by Scrügy.
