I will return or destroy any personal or commercial sensitive data I find on a machine I acquire, and will keep it in the strictest confidence, should I find it necessary to view it.

I will aid users in the decomissioning of their machines should they require assistance.

I will respect active software and publication copyrights.

I will, whenever possible, repair the computers in my collection and maintain them in working order and will assist others in doing the same - to the best of my ability. I will actively encourage the repair, maintenance, and use of older computers, in preference to the irreversable alteration of machines and parts for non-computer applications.

I will actively promote the exchange of computers, parts and information among collectors.

I will actively promote ethical collecting.
