  • User Content that impersonates any person or entity or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity;
  • Unsolicited promotions, political campaigning, advertising, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes or solicitations;
  • User Content that constitutes spam, is machine- or randomly-generated, that contains unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third-party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third-party sites, to further unlawful acts (e.g., phishing) or to mislead recipients as to the source of the material (e.g., spoofing);
  • Private information of any third party, including, without limitation, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, identity numbers and credit card numbers;
    Viruses, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files; or
  • User Content that, in our sole judgment, is objectionable or which restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Interactive Areas or the Site, or which adversely affects the availability of its resources to other users (e.g., excessive shouting, use of all capital letters, or continuous posting of repetitive text), or which may expose us or our users to any harm or liability of any type.

Further, you agree not to delete or revise any User Content posted by any third party. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any User Content posted, stored or uploaded by you or any third party, or for any loss or damage thereto, nor are we liable for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography or profanity you may encounter. Your use of Interactive Areas is at your own risk. As a provider of interactive services, we are not liable for any statements, representations or User Content provided by its users in any public forum, personal home page or other Interactive Area.

Although we have no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the User Content posted in any Interactive Area, and no User Content is endorsed, reviewed or approved by us, we reserve the right, and have absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Content posted or stored on the Site at any time and for any reason without notice. You are solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Site at your sole cost and expense.

If you delete any of your User Content, we will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the Site, but you acknowledge that such deleted User Content (or references to it) may persist due to caching and may, therefore, not immediately be made unavailable.

If you post User Content to the Site, unless we indicate otherwise, you grant us and our affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such User Content throughout the world in any media, subject to our Privacy Policy. You grant us and our affiliates and sub-licensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose.
