Terms and Conditions of Use ("TCU")

* GIMPS participation is free of charge and open to the public

  Mersenne.org Internet web site domains, web content and services,
  PrimeNet APIs, data, downloads, etc., regardless of means of access.
* Non-Participants. Viewing the Web Site does not necessarily make you
  a Participant; non-Participants are not bound by this TCU.
* Participation Constitutes Agreement. "Participant" is understood to
  be an individual person, or a single individual person designated as
  the authorized representative of any group, team, organization or
  legal entity, who personally, or whose computer(s), accesses and/or
  communicates with the Web Site to perform, or cause to perform,
  mathematical calculations that are, or typically, systematically
  organized by GIMPS. This includes, but is not restricted to, use of
  Prime95, MPrime, GLucas, or similar software, automatically over the
  Internet or using the Web Site (manual testing forms, reports, APIs,
  etc.), to get data or work assignments or to upload results or other
  data. Participation constitutes agreement with the TCU by that
  individual and any group, team, organization or legal entity the
  Participant represents.
* Participant Identifiers. Participant's user ID, password and email
  address are the primary unique identifiers used by GIMPS to
  communicate and confirm Participant's identity. Secondary
  identifiers may include unique computer identifiers known as a
  "GUID". The "Anonymous" or "ANONYMOUS" user ID is owned by GIMPS,
  but may be used by Participants who do not wish to be publically
  identified.

  Rules [1].
* Award Refusal. Participant may at their option decline any award.
  Research Discovery Award Rules apply even if an award is unclaimed
  or optionally declined by the Participant.

  publish or make available certain limited subset(s) of that data for
  public reference, excluding personally identifiable data according
  to the Privacy Policy [2]. Examples of published data are stats,
  standings, charts and other derived charts or tables.
* Disclaimer. GIMPS is not responsible for any losses due to Web Site
  errors, electronic transmission errors, omissions or unauthorized
  disclosures, failure of any software to correctly find and timely
  report a new prime number, or any other research discovery, or for
  someone "poaching" or "stealing" your assignment (performing work on
  it without it being assigned to them by GIMPS) and subsequently
  making a discovery.
* Terms and Conditions of Use Changes. GIMPS reserves the right to
  change this TCU without notice. Last updated 15 October 2008.
* Jurisdiction. Jurisdiction of law shall be the State of California
  and the United States of America. Participant agrees to settle all
