  • Section A | Intended Use for NoveltyAnsweringMachine
    • The intended uses for this website is:
      • To archive and preserve novelty answering machine recordings and prevent them from being lost in the digital age we live in.
      • To provide a place where younger generations can listen to and learn about the funny novelty recordings or answering machines.
      • To provide a fun place on the web, and bring laughter and smiles to those who listen.
    • Note: this website is not intended to infringe upon the rights of the awesome and creative people who made these recordings possible. We hope that in this day in age where these funny recordings have become a thing of the past, that the original creators would be happy and feel honored to have their works preserved in our archive for generations to come.
  • Section B | What our viewers are allowed to do with the content from the archive
    • Listen, view, or read the content for personal enjoyment or education.
    • Use it for school projects, or as an educational tool (so long as they do not claim the works as their own and give fair credit).
    • Record a greeting to an answering machine or voicemail (personal use only) using their computer speakers and device microphone.
      • This is another way to keep the original creators works alive (by using them in their original intended way).
  • Section C | Any commercial use is strictly prohibited
    • This section is fairly self-explanatory. I do not permit the use of my archives for any commercial purposes. Plain and Simple.

    • I accept donations of novelty media (either commercially produced, or home-made creations) to add to my archives and preserve. Any media donated will not be used commercially by me.
  • Section G | Online Store Purchases
    • From time to time, I may offer products for sale. These products will not include anything copyrighted by a third party. These items usually include items such as stickers, pencils, key chains, and other small trinkets.
  • Section H | Contests & Sweepstakes
    • From time to time, I will hold a content often including a spare novelty cassette from our archive or something else cool and answering machine related. These contests are always "No Purchase Necessary" and of at no cost to the winner

      • Only open to residents of the United States
  • Section I | Use of MY content
    • My work is copyrighted, While I'm always happy when people enjoy my stuff, please ask me first before you use it. Just send me an email :-)

    • Any questions or concerns related to this policy, should be emailed to copyright@furmannet.net with a subject line containing "Novelty Answering Machine Copyright Policy"
      • I do my best to respond within a few days, however these times are not guaranteed as I am just one person and life gets busy and this website is run as a hobby.
This policy is subject to change at anytime. Any updates or changes made will be reflected on this page.

 

 

I could really use your support!
Please consider leaving a tip to help keep me online! This website took a lot of time and work and costs money to keep going so your donation could be the reason I stay online tomorrow. Thank you!
