Purpose of This Site
This site is primarily intended for use by San Diego ARES members and guests interested in emergency amateur radio communications and to inform members of past and upcoming events.
Links
San Diego ARES offers links and link reciprocation to other organizations and businesses deemed appropriate and useful to its members. To be considered for a link, please send e-mail to the Webmaster with all pertinent information. The Webmaster will review all submissions to assure that the recommended site is appropriate, useful information to San Diego ARES members, and/or contains useful information to emergency amateur radio communications and amateur radio communications in general. Priority is given to sites with emergency amateur radio communications and related materials due to our organization's primary goals in supporting these activities in the San Diego and Imperial County, CA region.
These links are to sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third party vendors and other third parties (the "external sites"). You acknowledge that San Diego ARES is not responsible for the availability of, or the content located on or through, any external site. You should contact the site administrator or Webmaster for those external sites if you have any concerns regarding such links or the content located on such external sites. You should also notify the San Diego ARES Webmaster about any concerns regarding an external site so a review can be done to determine if the site should remain as a link from this site.
Links to sites not related to the a topic closely related to the subjects previously listed will be automatically rejected as SPAM. Links MUST be from a website that is primarily related to these subjects. For example: a link to an amateur radio related page on a website for a widget manufacturer WILL NOT be added even if it was done as a class project. For items like school projects, consider using Wordpress or other similar free site to post rather than a page of the company website.
Our target audience is not typical First Responders (fire, police, military). Our members and visitors support emergency radio communications and the technologies involved in radio communications. Links outside of this scope are typically not appropriate for this venue and will be rejected.
Limitation on Liability
In no event shall San Diego ARES or the Webmaster be liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever, even if the aforementioned parties have been previously advised of the possibility of such damages, whether in an action under contract, negligence, or any other theory, arising out of or in connection with the use, inability to use, or performance of the information, services, products, and materials available from this site. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding to any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not apply to you.
Site Content
The Webmaster retains final editorial control over content of the site - including but not limited to photos, articles, or blogs - deemed inappropriate for the site. We do not, however, make this determination based on age, gender, race, or orientation.
