By accepting this agreement as it is currently presented, you are agreeing to the ACUA fully. Acer alone will determine if changes are needed.
If Acer determines changes are needed to the ACUA, we may at any time update this agreement. If an update is performed, Acer will promptly make all reasonable efforts to inform Community Members.
This Community is intended for both the Acer Consumer and Commercial customer. Potential customers of Acer are always welcome as well.

Member Contributions to the Acer Community:
- Submitted Topics: The Acer Community is here to create a constructive, efficient, avenue for Acer customers and potential customers to find solutions and learn how to use Acer products efficiently. In most cases your additions to the Acer Community should be in the form of technical questions or technical based answers. Content which fails to enhance the collective technical knowledge of the Acer Community or submissions which could void the product warranty may be removed. Examples include but are not limited to the following:
- Acer policy or procedure discussions
- Acer corporate decisions or direction
- Future PC industry speculation
- Regional/Country variances in Acer policy or products offered.
- Petitions of any kind or sort
- Discussions of a litigious nature
- Discussions regarding Rooting or Unlocking devices
- Be respectful, courteous and polite: All users of the Acer Community should feel welcome and comfortable participating. The Acer Community is global in nature. Therefore users will have the ability to meet and interact with people from around the world. Be respectful of other cultures and those who use English as a second language. Acer will not tolerate the posting of content which is rude, libelous, inflammatory, indecent, vulgar, pornographic, or any comments made in a sexual, racial, cultural or ethnic context.
- Be relevant. Make sure your contributions are relevant to this forum and to the specific topic, category or board where you post. If you have a new question, start a new topic rather than interrupting a conversation.
- When at all possible any suggested solution should be verified through testing before it is posted to the Community. You are responsible for your own decisions to act upon the information provided by community members.
- All polls posted to the Community will be initiated by Acer Moderators, Staff or the Community Manager.
- Do not advertise: The Acer Community is not to be used to advertise a member’s products, services or personal/professional offerings of any kind under any circumstances.
- Appropriate User Names: All user names or aliases should be carefully chosen so they are not deemed inappropriate or offensive to other members. If you are unsure if the User Name you are considering may be found offensive, it probably will be. Acer suggests you chose another. User names should not contain personal information such as URLs, Email addresses, phone numbers or possibly confuse members into thinking you are an Acer employee.
- Abide by the law: Do not submit content to the Acer community that could be construed as being the promotion to commit an illegal action.
- Do not aid, facilitate or promote in any way regarding “work arounds” of digital rights management software.
- All submissions to the Acer community must be your own work or work to which you own a license.
- Submission agreement: By sending a submission to the Acer Community you agree to grant Acer perpetual use of that content on a royalty free, non-exclusive and worldwide basis. Acer reserves the right to use, publish, reproduce, modify, translate as desired and make available to the public any and all submissions as it sees fit. If you do not want to grant these rights to Acer, do not submit the content to the Acer Community.
- Don’t publically share anything that you receive in any one-to-one communication, be it email or private messages, without the author's consent. This includes communications received from Acer, Acer employees, Moderators or any Community members. Use of the Private Message system is governed by the Community Guidelines and any violations of the guidelines when using this system will be considered abuse of the Private Message system.
Breach of the ACUA:
- Failure to abide by the ACUA may lead to the removal or editing of your submission. In extreme or repeated cases, Acer may decide to temporarily or permanently delete your Community account and membership. Acer reserves the right to delete any submission or take any action against an account or membership at any time, for any reason.
