PUBLIC FORUMS
Public Forum Participation Policy and Terms
As a service to our users, the Site may, but shall not be obligated to, feature message boards, chat rooms/areas, discussion forums, ratings, comments, bulletin board services, news groups, communities and/or other message or communication facilities and other public/semipublic/private forums (collectively, “Forums”) where users with similar interests or similar experiences can share information and support one another, or where users can post questions for others to answer. We may also offer online discussions moderated by various experts or other persons.
Much of the content of the Forums, including, without limitation, the descriptions for many Forums and the content within a specific message, comment, or posting, is provided by and is the responsibility of the third party creator of the Forum or the person posting in that Forum. Company has no responsibility for such content, and is merely providing access to such content as a service to you.
BY THEIR VERY NATURE, FORUMS MAY CARRY OFFENSIVE, HARMFUL, INACCURATE, OR OTHERWISE INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL, OR IN SOME CASES, POSTINGS THAT HAVE BEEN MISLABELED OR ARE OTHERWISE DECEPTIVE. WE EXPECT THAT YOU WILL USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE, AND EXERCISE PROPER JUDGMENT WHEN USING DISCUSSION FORUMS.
Any information (including personally identifiable information or other personal information) that you reveal in a Forum, may, by design, be open to the public, and in such case may not constitute a private, secure service. You should think carefully before disclosing any information in any Forum. What you have written may be seen, disclosed to, or collected by third parties and may potentially be used by others in ways we are unable to control or predict, including to contact you for unauthorized purposes. By submitting communications or content to Forums, you agree that such submission is nonconfidential for all purposes, unless the Company specifically notes otherwise (for example, in the rules for a particular Forum, if any). You agree that you will not upload or transmit any communications or content of any type to a Forum that infringe or violate any rights of any party. Further, you have agreed to restrict your actions in certain ways as described in these T&C, including, without limitation, as outlined in the Prohibited Activities section.
Grant of Rights to Company Regarding Your Posts and Submissions
To the extent that you are the original copyright holder of any post or submission by you to a Forum, and such post or submission does not contain any of the information or material of Company, then (a) you remain owner of such post or submission to the extent you were the owner; (b) you automatically grant on behalf of yourself or otherwise warrant that the owner of such content or intellectual property has expressly granted Company, a royaltyfree, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, create derivative works from, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, display, and/or otherwise exploit, the post, submission, communication, or content in any media or medium, or any form, format, or forum now known or hereafter developed; and (c) you agree and warrant that Company may sublicense or assign its rights through multiple tiers of sublicenses or assigns.
No Obligation to Monitor or Remove Content from Links
Company does not control the information delivered to the Forums, and has no obligation to monitor the Forums. However, Company reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or legal governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, in Company’s sole discretion. Company is not obligated to remove any content from the site which does not violate any civil or criminal laws, and any contributions intended for display on this web site via any means, whether submitted via HTTP (web), SMTP (mail), NNTP (newsreader), or otherwise, are presumed to be contributed by the author/contributor with the intent that Company shall have an ongoing, nonexclusive right to publish the contributed content for an indefinite amount of time, unless the content submitted was made under an agreement with Company with differing terms, or Company has clearly only been provided limited, nonexclusive publishing rights (for example, in the case of some exclusively copyrighted newsletter content). If you do not wish to have something which you submit to be published, do not submit it in the first place.
No Endorsement
Company does not endorse, support, represent, or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any communications posted in the Forums, or endorse any opinions expressed in the Forums. You acknowledge that any reliance on material posted in the Forums will be at your own risk.
Company’s Right to Act
If Company discovers communications that allegedly do not conform to any terms and conditions of this Site, Company may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith, and in its sole discretion, whether to remove or request the removal of the communication. Company will have no liability or responsibility for performance or nonperformance of such activities. Company reserves the right to terminate or restrict your access to any or all of the Forums at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever. You acknowledge that some Forums available through the Site are available only through the Site and others are available both through the Site and other sources, such as Usenet, over which Company has absolutely no control.
