REx Account Agreement

Welcome to REx, the Research Exchange Index. Please accept our apologies for asking you to click on the agree button in yet another online form. This account agreement is provided strictly because of concerns that, without an account agreement, someone, at some time, will do something that is so thoughtless and/or malicious that we would need to end this service. The agreement follows. You'll see it only once, unless you want to see it again: you can view it through the Account tab on your personal page or through the About this Site page.

The Exchange is hosted and maintained by Colorado State University as a public service with the understanding that neither Colorado State University nor any of the other institutions who are partners in the development of the Exchange make any warranties, either expressed or implied, concerning the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of the information on Exchange pages.
