"Terms of Use" Question

[Grieg]

Hello: My wife and I are self-employed (real estate agents) and have around 4 or so computers. I'd like to submit an OS question to the HP consumer support forum, "Notebook Operating systems and software." Is this the right forum, or is there one that I should use because the notebook is for my business use?

The "Terms of Use" says ". . . HP authorizes you to use the HP Websites only for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. Use of the HP Websites for any public or commercial purpose (including, without limitation, on another site or through a networked computer environment) is strictly prohibited."

I wondered if because I'm a business user this is a commercial use and therefore prohibits me from using a consumer support forum.

Thanks for reading.

Hello Grieg,

The "commercial purposes" the Terms of Use refer to are things like unsolicited advertisements for outside businesses.  You are welcome to post your question to the appropriate board, which I see you have mentioned in your post.  

Thanks for your question 🙂
