Without regard to your specific location, you agree that any and all legal disputes, issues, questions or conflicts of law with respect to the administration, policies and disclaimer of warranty of the use of FunAdvice.com or another website owned & operated by FunAdvice LLC are to be settled pursuant to the laws of Santa Clara County, California, in the United States.

Acceptable answers
Good advice is an answer to the question that, without any links, will help the person with their problem. Links are OK, however, you must answer the actual question. A link to a search engine is NOT an acceptable answer, as that's like telling users "use a search engine instead". The reason they use FunAdvice for their question is because some things are too difficult to find in a search engine, and they want real, honest, human assistance. If your answer is deemed in violation of these terms, it will be removed. If you post duplicate answers, they will be removed, please only post one answer one time.
