Internet user privacy is of paramount importance to Puzbie LTD., and it's members. Puzbie LTD. uses members' e-mail addresses for forum activity notification, critical administrative notification and our third party mailing service (Message Forwarding Service, or MFS). The MFS is a targeted opt-in/opt-out service. By registering with the Puzbie LTD sites, members opt to receive messages from third party advertisers.

Puzbie LTD Cookie Policy
Cookies are small text files a web site can use (thousands of sites currently use them) to recognize a repeat visitor to it's site. Puzbie LTD's public sites do not require the use of cookies to operate, however, members must have 1st party cookies turned on in order to log in.
CAUTION
TO FORUM MEMBERS: No vendor or regulatory body is perfect. Please refrain from hasty judgements and non-factual assertions. Let's allow them (whose products and/or services are discussed in this forum) the opportunity to make mistakes. Those with established quality assurance procedures will use Puzbie LTD. information to develop and market corrections more quickly than ever before. Unbiased user evaluations is the best source of information a company can ask for.
TO VENDORS AND REGULATORS: Any vendor or regulator attempting to thwart open discussion of their product (or service), or to "take over" the forums with corporate "spin" or non-factual assertions will be "red flagged" by the relevant user community. They will also not be allowed to partake in any rating of products or services. Anyone found thwarting these rules will be dealt with sternly. In addition to various warnings throughout the "tips" pages, all product/service evaluation data is reviewed for irregularities including (but not limited to): 1) flow rate of new members from a chronological perspective 2) topical selections of new members relative to historical patterns 3) rating patterns of all products relative to historical patterns 4) type of new products added, viewed against member participation 5) new product ratings, as viewed against competitive products 6) statistical sampling for irregularities in ratings (by members or products).
VENDORS/REGULATORS
Vendors/Regulators are the organizations whose products and/or services are discussed on the public forums.
Vendors and regulators can participate in any of the following ways:
• They (their technical representatives only) can log-in as a member and become part of the technical discussion forum (like any other member). The member registration form is clearly labeled with a box for them to identify themselves. By enabling this box, they will have full functionality of the page with the exception of being able to rate products or services. ALL member identities are confidential, as members are known only by their "handle."
• All products and services discussed on the TipMaster Sites are assumed to have registered and valid trademarks and copyrights of the companies that produce (or perform) them. Accordingly, every effort is made to keep all corporate and related product/service identities intact and accurate.

Disclaimer
This is a free service offered by Puzbie LTD.
The World Wide Web changes constantly, and no technical search/bulletin board page can contain all products, nor insure that all information is technically accurate. As a result, Puzbie LTD. cannot and does not guarantee that your search results will be complete or technically accurate.
Puzbie LTD. occasionally receives requests from people to remove information from its web pages. Although Puzbie LTD reserves the right to address such requests individually, the general approach that Puzbie LTD. takes reflects the following principles:
1. The Puzbie LTD. web page databases are built through a non-mediated forum, and is done automatically with no opportunity for advance review of content by human beings. Given the enormous volume of information added and changed on a daily basis, the maintenance of this service cannot be sustained in any other way. Accordingly, Puzbie LTD. cannot and does not screen anything made available.
2. Members of the Web Community who post information on the Puzbie LTD. web sites are assumed to be of wholesome character, engaged in legal activities in the pursuit of earning incomes through their technical efforts. All members will be asked to refrain from content which is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, or otherwise violates any law. In addition, all vendors and regulators (whose products and/or services are discussed) will be asked to identify themselves upon registration so as to recuse themselves from rating the products and/or services they sell and compete within.
3. Discussions and replies in these forums are not intended nor provided as public engineering advice and do not constitute the practice of engineering in any state, province, or country. Discussion is provided to further the art and science of engineering and related subjects and should be used only by discerning professionals with an appropriate ability to verify and validate the information given in the context of their application.
