CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE, YOU MUST NOT USE OR MUST IMMEDIATELY
TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THIS WEB SITE.
- Purpose
of Web Site. This Web Site is a service made available
by GemShowOnTheWeb, LLC ("Provider" or "GemShow").
The information in the Web Site is for jewelers, gemstone
and mineral dealers of various types, and members of the
public to find dealers and jewelers who may have the products
or services they are searching for. The Web Site also
provides a method for listing items for sale and searching
for items which have been listed for sale.
- Gem
Dealer or Jeweler Listings within Product and Service
Categories. This Web site also contains a searchable
directory (the "View All Dealers" link or "Dealer
Directory") and ("Find A Gem Dealer by Category"
tab) of gem show dealers and jewelers (hereinafter referred
to as "Dealers"). Some of the information in
these sections was provided by the dealers themselves
and some was entered by GemShow from industry sources.
Provider does not warrant the validity of the information,
nor does it guarantee the quality of the work product
of the Dealers. The choice of Dealers are important decisions
and should not be based solely upon listings or a dealer's
self-proclaimed area of expertise. Provider cannot review
all of the content of the listings that are provided by
the Dealers or all of the links to the Web site. Provider
is not responsible for any material or information contained
in the linked sites or provided by Dealers. A description
or indication of expertise by a Dealer does not mean that
any agency or board has certified such Dealer as a specialist
or expert in any indicated field, nor does it mean that
such Dealer is necessarily any more expert or competent
than any other Dealer. All users of the Web Site are encouraged
to make their own independent investigation and evaluation
of any Dealer they might consider purchasing from.

systems from a third party's mail servers without permission
of such third party, or which employs a similar device
