Other Important Information Regarding Potential Copyright Infringement or other Content Complaints

We have a policy of terminating the accounts of users who (in our reasonable discretion) are repeat infringers.

It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated or if the DMCA requirements have been met. We may request additional information before we remove any infringing material. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.

Company will provide you with notice if your materials have been removed based on a third party complaint of alleged infringement of the third party’s intellectual property rights. As a regular part of our business, Company displays advertisements and product listings from a wide variety of companies. We encourage the owners of intellectual property rights who believe their rights are being infringed by a company who advertises or lists its products on our site to resolve their disputes directly with that company. Company is not in a position to arbitrate disputes between users or the owners of intellectual property rights and companies who advertise or list their products on our Web Sites.  As a courtesy to owners of intellectual property rights, we may perform a limited investigation of reasonable complaints. However, we provide no guarantee that we will remove the allegedly infringing materials from our Web Sites.

7.              Links.

You may link from another site to Company’s Content, subject to the following restrictions: any web site that links to the Web Sites: (a) must not frame or create a browser or border environment around any of the Content of the Web Sites; (b) may link to, but not replicate, the Content; (c) must not imply that Company or the Web Sites are endorsing or sponsoring it or its products, unless Company has given its prior written consent; (d) must not present false information about Company or its products or services; (e) must not use any Company trademarks without the prior written permission from Company; and (f) must not contain content that could be construed as distasteful, offensive or controversial.  We reserve the right to deny permission to link to the Web Sites for any reason in our sole and absolute discretion.  By linking to any of the Web Sites, you agree that you do and will continue to comply with the above linking requirements.

8.              Information You Submit.

From time to time, the Web Sites may contain functionality through which you can upload or otherwise submit information, data, software, messages, photographs, audio, video, text and other materials to the Web Sites (“User Upload Information”).  For purposes of clarity, the definition of “User Upload Information” specifically excludes Custom Advertisements (defined below) and Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements (defined below) which shall be governed by the provisions set forth in Section 9 below.  For example, the Web Sites may offer forums, bulletin boards, chat rooms or other interactive areas (“User Forums”).  You must read and follow the posted User Forum rules, if any, at the top of the forums in which you post.  Company, its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates or the directors, officers, employees, or other representatives of each of them do not endorse the content posted in User Forums.  Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Web Sites and pursue all legal remedies if we believe your User Upload Information infringes another’s copyright or otherwise violates any law, rule or regulation.  Except as expressly allowed by Company in writing, you acknowledge and agree that you are prohibited from accepting payment for User Upload Information, including, without limitation, accepting payment for the inclusion of a logo, brand or other commercial content, in User Upload Information.  You agree to use User Forums only to send and receive messages and material that are proper and related to that particular User Forum.

Except as otherwise described in the posted privacy policy or other agreement on the Web Site at which you provide User Upload Information, User Upload Information will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure to anyone, including, but not limited to, claimed intellectual property owners.  When you upload User Upload Information via the Web Sites, you irrevocably grant to Company, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license containing, without limitation, all right, title and interest in User Upload Information, including, without limitation, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade identities, copyrights, trade secrets, logos, domain names, know-how, source code and object code, mask-work rights, inventions, moral rights, author’s rights, algorithms, rights in packaging, goodwill and other intellectual property and proprietary rights whatsoever in User Upload Information.  You further agree that Company, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners and the directors, officers, employees, licensees and other representatives of each of them will have the unlimited right everywhere, and forever, without any credit or compensation to you, to use, reuse, modify, alter, display, archive, publish, sub-license, perform, reproduce, make available for download, disclose, transmit, broadcast, post, sell, translate, create derivative works of, distribute and use for advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional purposes, any of User Upload Information or portions of User Upload Information, and your name, voice, likeness and other identifying information, in any form, media, software or technology of any kind now known or developed in the future for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such User Upload Information.  You hereby waive any moral rights you may have in and to any of User Upload Information, even if such material is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you.  You agree and understand that Company, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners are not obligated to use User Upload Information submitted through the Web Sites or otherwise, and may alternatively choose to discard, and limit or block access to Your Uploaded Information without any liability whatsoever.

All of User Upload Information is your sole responsibility.  This means that you, and not Company, are entirely responsible for all of User Upload Information that you upload, post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available via the Web Sites.  If you post personal information in User Forums or on other publicly available areas of the Web Sites, then you may receive unsolicited messages from third parties. Company cannot ensure the security of any information you post on publicly available areas of the Web Sites.  Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any of User Upload Information, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in User Upload Information, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of User Upload Information.  You represent that User Upload Information is an original work by you or you have all necessary rights in it and to submit it to Company under the terms of these TOU; that it is not defamatory; and that it does not infringe upon, misappropriate or violate the rights of any third parties, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights, rights of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary rights or otherwise violate any law, rule, or regulation. You further agree that you are solely liable for any and all costs, claims, demands, investigations, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, connected to or arising from your breach of any representation or warranty, or other violation of the terms of the TOU.

You acknowledge that the Web Sites, through Company, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners undertakes no obligation to pre-screen User Upload Information, but that it has the right, in its sole discretion to modify, delete, edit, distribute, refuse, move, block access to or remove any User Upload Information.  You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any of User Upload Information, including, but not limited to, any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of User Upload Information.  Since Company, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and partners may not pre-screen user-generated content, you may bear legal responsibility for others’ exposure to any offensive indecent or objectionable content in User Upload Information.

9.              Use of Advertising Templates on the Web Sites and Custom Advertisements.

Company may provide certain functionality on the Web Sites that allows you to manipulate Content, including, but not limited to, certain templates (each a “Template” and collectively, the “Templates”) provided on the Web Sites, which may be used by you for the creation, development and submission of custom advertisements (“Custom Advertisements”) by allowing you to combine your own content (“Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements”) with the Templates or otherwise customize the Templates to create Custom Advertisements. The Templates are considered Content, are owned by Company, and are subject to the provisions in Section 4 above.  Any Custom Advertisements you develop are subject to the provisions set forth below and any additional agreements you enter into with Company regarding the Custom Advertisements.  Please note that except as set forth in these TOU, you cannot copy, download, print, create derivatives of, or utilize in any way any of the Templates or other materials on the Web Sites without our express prior written permission.

The Web Sites permit you to use the Templates in conjunction with the creation, development, submissions and purchase of advertising from Company.  When you purchase advertising from us, the purchase will be subject to the terms of the advertising media purchase agreement (the “Advertising Agreement”) that we enter into with you, which is incorporated herein by this reference. As further described in Section 4, the Templates are owned by us and will continue to be owned by us during and after your use.  This includes any modifications to a Template that we make or authorize you to make, whether personalized or otherwise.

All of Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements are your sole responsibility and you, and not Company, are entirely responsible for all of the content you provide in Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements.  It is your responsibility to check the correctness of each Custom Advertisement before submitting it to Company.  Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements.  You represent and warrant that Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements is original work by you or you have all necessary rights in it and to submit it to Company under the terms of these TOU; that it is not defamatory; and that it does not infringe upon, misappropriate or violate the rights of any third parties, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights, rights of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary rights or otherwise violate any law, rule, or regulation. You further agree that you are solely liable for any and all costs, claims, demands, investigations, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, connected to or arising from, your breach of any representation or warranty, or other violation of the terms of the TOU or any other user agreement posted on the Web Sites.  Use of all Templates and materials must be consistent with and are subject to any additional terms that are provided at the time you purchase any advertising, including, but not limited to, as specifically set forth in the Advertising Agreement.

During the period that your Custom Advertisement(s) is/are featured on our advertising media, we may allow you, with our express prior written permission, the exclusive use of the specific Template(s) that you selected only within the general geographic area of your purchase.  For purposes of certainty, even if we grant you the exclusive use of a Template while your advertising purchase is in effect, we may allow someone in another geographic area to use it.  Of course, once the term of your Advertising Agreement with us has ended, we can allow others, even in your geographic area, to use, and request modifications to, the Template.  Whether or not you purchase any advertising media from us, you cannot, without our express prior written consent, use the Templates in any advertising media not purchased from us.

Your use of the Templates and your creation of any Custom Advertisements is subject to the following terms and conditions:

a. Company owns the Templates and retains all rights in the Templates. The license Company grants you to use the Templates in connection with Custom Advertisements is limited to the Templates specifically made available by Company for use in connection with Custom Advertisements, and may be revoked by Company at any time without liability to you;

b. The license to use the Templates in connection with Custom Advertisements is solely for the purpose of allowing you to manipulate the Templates or combine the Templates with Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements;

c. Your use of the Templates and Custom Advertisements is subject to these TOU and any additional terms and conditions as Company may from time-to-time notify you in these TOU or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the Advertising Agreement;

d. You retain whatever prior rights you had in Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements and retain the right to use Your Contribution to Custom Advertisements in works entirely unrelated to Custom Advertisements and entirely unrelated to derivative works of Custom Advertisements;

e. You will not make any use of or license, distribute, reproduce, or otherwise exploit any part of the Custom Advertisements (except Your Contributions to Custom Advertisements), without our express written permission.

10.           Viral Distribution.

By express written direction on the Web Sites, the Company may grant you the limited, revocable permission to engage in Viral Distribution as may from time to time be made available on the Web Sites for such purpose.  “Viral Distribution” means these personal uses only and only if there is express written permission on the Web Sites to do so: (a) sending Content or other material such as Custom Advertisements to friends or acquaintances at no charge by e-mail or other forms of digital delivery; or (b) reproducing copies of Content for personal use.  If expressly permitted on the Web Sites, you may engage in Viral Distribution pursuant to these TOU, but you will not make any use of or license, distribute, reproduce, or otherwise exploit any part of the Content or Custom Advertisements without our express written permission.   

11.           Use of Samples.

The Websites will, from time to time, feature depictions of advertisements which are not actual advertisement campaigns which Company arranged or sold or may not have existed at all (hereinafter the “Samples”). The Samples may contain advertisements for products, entities, groups, associations, individuals, and/or, without limitation, services (the “Entities”) with or for which Company does not currently or may not have ever had a relationship. Such Samples are provided strictly and solely for the purpose of demonstrating the look and feel which a similar advertisement may have when purchased and/or arranged through Company. In no way is the posting or exhibition of Samples on the Web Sites intended to be a representation that Company had, has, or will have any relationship with, made any sale to, or transacted any other business with the Entities. To the extent you engage in any relationship and/or transact any business with Company as a result of, whether based exclusively or partially on, your viewing Samples on the Web Sites, you agree that you have read and understood this portion of the TOU, that you are not relying on any representation regarding Company’s prior, current, or future relationship with any depicted Entities in engaging in any relationship or transacting any business with the Company, and that your viewing of the Entities and subsequent engagement in any relationship with the Company has not caused you any resulting harm or damage.

You should be aware that the Content might contain errors, omissions, inaccuracies, outdated information, and inadequacies and that the Content may be subject to terms and conditions, which may be found on the Web Sites or in the documents and policies of third parties.  We make no representations or warranties as to the completeness, accuracy, adequacy, currency or reliability of any Content and will not be liable for any lack of the foregoing.  Third parties may offer goods, services and other materials to you on the Web Sites.  Your correspondence and business dealings with others found on or through the Web Sites, including, without limitation, the payment and delivery of products and services, and any terms, conditions, warranties and representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and the advertiser. You agree that Company will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or the offering of such products, services, and other Content on the Web Sites.  Under certain circumstances, we may permit third party users to upload content, in which event you may be exposed to offensive, indecent or objectionable content.  We have the right, but not the obligation, to remove any content that may, in our sole discretion, violate these TOU or that is otherwise objectionable. Descriptions of, or references to, products, services or publications within the Web Sites do not imply endorsement of that product, service or publication.
