Section 6. User Submissions.
Generally, any communication which you post to the Web Site is considered to be non-confidential. If particular web pages permit the submission of communications which will be treated by us as confidential, that fact will be stated in "Legal Notices" on those pages. By posting communications to the Web Site, you automatically grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display the communication alone or as part of other works in any form, media, or technology whether now known or hereafter developed, and to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees.
As a User, you are responsible for your own communications and are responsible for the consequences of their posting. You must not do the following things: Post material that is copyrighted, unless you are the copyright owner, have the permission of the copyright owner to post it or are posting the material while respecting "fair use"; post material that reveals trade secrets, unless you own them or have the permission of the owner; post material that infringes on any other intellectual property rights of others or on the privacy or publicity rights of others; post material that is obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, or embarrassing to another User or any other person or entity; post advertisements or solicitations of business; post chain letters or pyramid schemes; or impersonate another person.
NSFW and adult content is permitted, but you must appropriately mark magazines and posts as 18+. Failure to do so may result in content being removed.
The "fair use" of a copyrighted work is not an infringement of copyright. Copyright owners are, by law, deemed to consent to the fair use of their works by others.
We do not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any of communications posted by other Users or endorse any opinions expressed by Users. You acknowledge that any reliance on material posted by other Users will be at your own risk.
We do not screen communications in advance and are not responsible for screening or monitoring material posted by Users. If notified by a User of communications which allegedly do not conform to this Agreement, we may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the communication. We have no liability or responsibility to Users for performance or nonperformance of such activities. We reserve the right to expel Users and prevent their further access to the Web Site for violating this Agreement or the law and the right to remove communications which are abusive, illegal, or disruptive.
