AlltheWeb.com Search Results

The search results that appear on AlltheWeb.com are generated by FAST's automated processes, and FAST cannot and does not screen the search results before they are included in the indexes from which search results are gathered.

Similarly FAST has no control over the third parties who create the pages and sites displayed as search results on AlltheWeb.com.

FAST cannot guarantee that a search on AlltheWeb.com will not locate unintended or objectionable content and FAST assumes no responsibility for the content of any site included in any search results or otherwise linked to by AlltheWeb.com.

AlltheWeb.com does contain an offensive content filter which you may switch on and off and which attempts to screen out content some people may object to. We do not remove such content from our indexes but attempt to tag it such that when the filter is switched on it is screened out.

Requests for Removal of Links

FAST is sometimes requested to remove links from its index.

Such requests are dealt with on a case by case basis but some general principles apply:

As the name AlltheWeb.com says FAST's goal is to index all information found on web pages. FAST uses web crawlers, that is, a program that visits web sites, to gather information from which FAST creates entries for the AlltheWeb.com index.

It is impossible for search engines to screen the millions of Internet postings for possible problems.

It is impossible to manually edit this index unless FAST knows specific URLs to remove.

Even if FAST is able to remove links, the web crawler will find the information again during future crawling activities unless the crawler is blocked from doing so.

FAST web crawlers support the Robots Exclusion Protocol and the Robots META tag which, when inserted into a web site, will block the crawler from visiting the web site and gathering information. Further information is available in the AlltheWeb.com FAQs including blocking the crawler.

Based on the principles stated above, FAST is not able to either carry out or warrant the complete and perpetual removal of links from its index.

Miscellaneous Provisions

These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Norway, 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 Use to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.

These Terms of Use 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 FAST.

The material and information provided on AlltheWeb.com are not an offer of securities for sale or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The material and information must not be relied upon in connection with any investment decision.

The AlltheWeb.com services may be modified or terminated from time to time, for any reason, and without notice, without liability to you, or any third party.

FAST reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use without notice and your continued use of the AlltheWeb.com services will constitute acceptance of any such modified Terms of Use. Accordingly you should review these Terms of Use on a regular basis.
