We do not believe that the Site contains materials that would
typically be the subject of filtering software. Nevertheless, all

hardware, software, or filtering services) are commercially available
that may assist in limiting access to material that is harmful to
minors. A report detailing some of those protections can be found at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/ntiageneral/cipa2003/index.html

have addresses maintained by us, persons may violate federal law if
they: (1) initiate the transmission to our computers or devices of a
commercial electronic mail message (as defined in the U.S. "Can-Spam
