Appeal to Web site owners

1. We do pledge, that we neither did not create nor will ever create unlawful copies of sites, or pages from the above sites, on Web servers belonging to us without consent of respective site owners.

To obtain optimized access to some site, an address of a special type is used, supplied with webwarper.net/ww/ prefix. For example, optimized access to a site
        http://www.google.com/
is performed through the address
        http://webwarper.net/ww/www.google.com/
Opening the specified page, user will see the very same page as if entering a usual address http://www.google.com/, though equipped with special WebWarper panels on top and at the bottom.

An impression can form, that we, the owners of webwarper.net server, did make the unlawful copy of a page http://www.google.com/, added special advertising panels to it, and published the page on our server in ww/ subdirectory. But it is not the case.

The line
        http://webwarper.net/ww/www.google.com/
means the transfer of www.google.com/ parameter to ww Perl script, but not the location of the page within ww/ subdirectory. The page
        http://webwarper.net/ww/www.google.com/
is formed by ww script automatically, in order to provide user with an optimized access to the already existing site http://www.google.com/. This is lawful and correct stroke, that is used, in particular, in a subsystem of site translation into national languages, implemented in well-known Google search system.

The script ww may have another names, for example, ru:
        http://webwarper.net/ru/www.google.com/
This situation is absolutely analogous to the described above.

See also the question "I don't want people to view my site through WebWarper".

2. We do also pledge, that we are not responsible for possible appearing of an "optimized" link to your site on Web sites of third parties (companies or private persons), that looks like as follows
           http://webwarper.net/ww/your_site/some_path...

In particular, search systems (or robots), that are periodically searching through Internet for new resources, can find and register an "optimized" link to your site. Some private persons or third party organizations can place such a link on their pages. We do not control this process and carry no responsibility for these or similar actions.

We do also consider, that appearance of "optimized" links to your site in Internet is a positive factor, allowing the increased number of people to receive more economic and comfortable access to your Web resource.

See also the question "I don't want the WebWarper-version of my site to be indexed in search systems. Why do you not disable such indexing by robots.txt file?".

3. We do pledge, that placing on your pages special panels with advertisement and additional features, performed by WebWarper service, is not an infringement of your copyright. These panels are to be considered not as parts of your pages, but as new user interface elements, added by our software to user's browser.

Every browser is supplying your pages with its own panels, buttons, menus, and other interface elements. Our service, from user's point of view, is an addition to browser, improving its behavior, i.e., optimized access to Internet. As an addition to browser, WebWarper can possess its own windows and panels, and also place on them our advertising.

Required by use convenience, in order not to jam a screen, we did decide to place WebWarper panels not in separate windows, but besides the content of the viewed page — above and below the major body of the page. WebWarper panels in this case are scrolled with page content using scrolling bars. It allows user, by scrolling a page, to use all of the effective space of browser for viewing your information.

But that does not mean that WebWarper service panels did become a part of your page, and in this way did infringe your copyright on page contents. WebWarper panels are the same interface elements as are an address line and buttons panel of your browser. Panels of WebWarper are accentuated with special design, and are decorated in the same style as standard panels of Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. We did take all measures in order for our panels not to conflict with your content, and not to interfere with apprehension of your information.

If though in some complex situations the "failure" happens, and your page, when viewed through WebWarper, looks differently then without WebWarper, we are not responsible for that. In this case WebWarper service is in the same situation, as a new Web browser: browser developers are not responsible for potential errors taking place during the visualization of the sites, whose developers did not consider this browser during development. Errorless visualization of a site under all browsers, including a case of using WebWarper, is a subject of concern for site developers.

In case of WebWarper failures on your pages, you can contact us for advice, concerning the way to obtain correct visualization of your site through WebWarper. You can contact us at the site algart.net.

Appeal to WebWarper service users

1. When viewing a site through WebWarper, 100 percent reliability of work with all sites is not guaranteed. On some sites WebWarper can work incorrectly.

We did implement an intelligent algorithm of correcting "optimized" HTML-pages, replacing all the links, present on a page, with their equivalents, also optimized using webwarper.net/ww/ prefix.

This algorithm, in particular, does consider transitions performed with help of JavaScript or HTML-forms, corrects cookies mechanism in a required manner, etc. Nevertheless, problems are possible in especially complex cases.

2. WebWarper is correctly working only the following browsers:
   • Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 4.0 or later,
   • Opera, version 6.0 or later,
   • Mozilla / FireFox, all versions.
   Even in these browsers WebWarper may not work in case of using some types of proxy servers, firewalls or in case of incorrect browser settings.

In particular, the use of HTTP 1.1should be allowed in settings of Internet Explorer browsers, including the case of working through proxy. In Internet Explorer 5.X (or higher versions) this feature is set through menu item Tools / Internet Options, bookmark Advanced, "HTTP 1.1 settings" section.
