BP WEBSITE ~ A sign of things to come...

Shutting down the Information Highway

 
 BP's new Cape Vincent wind farm  website provides more legal notices, conditions, restrictions and disclaimers than they do substantive information.

They state that the information contained in this website is not comprehensive.  And it may not be accurate, up to date or applicable to the circumstances of any particular case.

 That being said they note that any decisions you make based on any non comprehensive and inaccurate information contained in their website is your sole responsibility… Neither BP America Inc. or any of its subsidiaries accept liability for any direct, indirect, special, consequential or other losses or damages of whatsoever kind arising out of access to, or the use of this website or any information contained in it.

   Another Cover you’re A$$ statement  they  fall back on is what they call Forward Looking Statements-- Such statements reflect the views of BP as of the date made with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those expressed in such statements.

After these reassuring words comes a warning about copyright laws, you are responsible for obeying all applicable copyright laws.  However they will permit you to download and make copies of the map showing what they plan to do to your community for your personal use as is reasonable for private purposes. All other use is strictly prohibited. 

 Additionally, you may not frame this site nor link to a page other than the home page without our express permission…
