postings displayed or linked to on your website exceeds one hundred (100)
postings, your use will be presumed to be in violation of the TOU,
absent express permission granted by MONTANA GUN CLASSIFIEDS to do so. You may also

link does not portray MONTANA GUN CLASSIFIEDS, its employees, or its affiliates in a
false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive matter.

can embed individual feeds into a personal website or blog, or view postings
