M204wiki provides users with online access to Model 204 product documentation and a procedure to collaboratively contribute and edit product documentation content. m204wiki is owned and operated by Rocket Software, Inc. and its affiliates ("Rocket" or "we"). These Terms of Use ("Agreement") between you and Rocket set forth the terms on which we make m204wiki available to you, "You" meaning any person or entity who uses m204wiki and/or posts User Content to m204wiki. By using m204wiki and/or posting User Content you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Proprietary materials and ownership

m204wiki is the property of Rocket. Without limitation of the foregoing, all the text, images, sound, music, marks, logos, compilations (meaning the collection, arrangement and assembly of information) and other content on this website other than User Content as defined below (collectively, the "Site Content"), and all software embodied in m204wiki ("Software") is proprietary to us or to third parties and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, any use, copying, making derivative works, transmitting, posting, linking, deep linking, redistribution, sale, decompilation, modification, reverse engineering, translation or disassembly of the Software or Site Content (collectively, the "Rocket Property") is prohibited. You may be subject to criminal or civil penalties for violation of this paragraph.

The marks Rocket and the Rocket Software logos are registered trademarks of Rocket Software, Inc. Other products and service names might be registered or unregistered trademarks of Rocket, and they may not be used in connection with any service or products other than those provided by Rocket, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among Users, or in any manner that disparages or discredits Rocket. m204wiki may also feature the trademarks, service marks, and logos of Rocket or third parties, and each owner retains all rights in such marks. Any use of such marks, or any others displayed on m204wiki, will inure solely to the benefit of their respective owners.

License to use m204wiki

Rocket authorizes you to access, view and use m204wiki to further your understanding of Rocket products. You may not remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices that have been placed on the Rocket Property. Changing, copying, redistributing, republishing, uploading, posting, transmitting, distributing or otherwise exploiting in any way the Rocket Property, or any portion of the Rocket Property, is strictly prohibited without the prior written permission of Rocket, unless this Agreement otherwise expressly allows you to do so.

You warrant and agree that your use of m204wiki will be consistent with this Agreement and will not infringe or violate the rights of any other party or breach any contract or legal duty to any other parties. You will comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances relating to m204wiki, the Rocket Property or your use of them, and in using m204wiki you will not engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying m204wiki.

User Content

In connection with using m204wiki, you may be authorized to upload, post, or submit to m204wiki screenshots, text, graphics, and other materials and information (collectively, "User Content") pertinent to the purpose of m204wiki. The User Content remains your property, and Rocket does not claim any ownership of the copyright or other proprietary rights in such User Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree to all of these:

  1.
