1. Content
                                       a. All written content present on this site is the original work of the site’s staff and administration, and may not be copied, duplicated, re-used, re-transmitted, re-sold, bartered, or passed off as one’s own original work without express written permission from FocusOnVR.
   i. The exception to this clause is in the case of incorporation of limited excerpts of content, with attribution and linking to the site, as approved by                      the site’s administration.
   b. All non-photographic visual content is either originally commissioned work by FocusOnVR, or used under the appropriate no-attribution licenses from stock image services.

   3. In all of these cases, photos, logos, and so forth remain the property of their respective copyright or trademark holders.
   d. All content is thoroughly researched and as accurate as possible. However, our staff does occasionally make mistakes. Additionally, elements of our content may reflect individual opinions and perspectives on a given topic, which are not necessarily the opinions of FocusOnVR, its owners/administrators, hosting services, etc.
   e. All content is designed to inform and entertain, while providing advice to readers. See II. Indemnification below for limitations.
   f. All content is provided without bias or biased, racist, sexist, or other discriminatory motivations to the fullest extent possible.
   g. All content is for general audiences, though it is not necessarily aimed at or generally suitable for minors. While topics such as the adult-oriented uses of VR technology may be covered, in no cases, however, will content on the site be considered indecent, pornographic, visually disturbing, or otherwise require warnings, age verifications, or ratings that would exclude general audiences from viewership.
   i. Likewise, where content on the topics provided may be restricted based on local, state, or federal laws or regulations, it is the responsibility of readers to comply with these regulations, and not the responsibility of FocusOnVR, its staff, administration, or other associated personnel.

II. Indemnification

i. Put simply, this is a review website, and no one writing for the site purports to be a doctor, lawyer, or otherwise certified in any fields that may, even tangentially, be construed as providing professional advice that otherwise requires certification or registration with relevant state or federal authorities. Therefore all advice, reviews, commentaries, and other written content items should be considered public domain and opinion-based, and shall not be construed as professional legal, medical, or other advice to the extent that those categories are defined in law.
ii. Actions, decisions, and choices made by readers based upon the information of this site are to have the force and effect in law of being actions, decisions, and choices of the individual only, and FocusOnVR shall be held harmless from any and all outcomes, effects, and responsibilities thereto.

i. FocusOnVR takes user privacy and experience seriously. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
ii. FocusOnVR makes every reasonable effort to ensure that the advertising networks and affiliate networks featured on our site do not contain malware, viruses, or other malicious content, but does not purport to have any responsibility to do so, and consequently waive all legal responsibility in this area.

The content, design, and other aspects of this website are provided in “as-is” condition, without claim or contest to validity, functionality, or other objective or subjective measures of quality and usability.

There is no obligation for FocusOnVR to update or revise the MSRPs based on price changes from the manufacturer or provider of the product or service, though every effort to do so will be undertaken.
