Definition. As used in this Agreement, the term “Participatory Areas” refers to bulletin boards, message areas, user-generated photo areas, commenting sections, chat rooms and any and all other existing or future areas on the Site that enable users to post to the Site or otherwise to actively participate in or interact with the Site.

Conduct & Rules of Use. The Participatory Areas may be used only for lawful purposes. You may not transmit or post any message or material that is threatening, abusive, offensive, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that encourages conduct that would be a criminal offense, or physically dangerous, or an infringement or violation of any publicity or privacy rights or other rights of any person or third party. No conduct may be undertaken that, in our sole judgment, restricts or inhibits any other user from using or enjoying the Participatory Areas.

No Advertisements. The Participatory Areas may not be used to post or transmit advertisements or commercial solicitations of any kind, except as may be expressly permitted by us.

Posting of Third-Party Material. You will not upload, post or otherwise make available on the Participatory Areas any material protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary right without the express permission of the applicable rights-holder. You are responsible for determining if any material to be posted is protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary right and such permission is therefore required. You will be solely liable for any damages resulting from any infringement of copyright, trademark or other proprietary right, or any other harm, that results from any uploading, posting or submission by you.

Monitoring. We will have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the content of the Participatory Areas in order to determine compliance with this Agreement (and to retain the services of independent contractors to do so). We will also have the right in our sole discretion to edit, refuse to post or remove any material submitted to or posted on the Participatory Areas, because it is deemed to violate this Agreement, or is stale, or for any other reason in our sole discretion. Notwithstanding our rights in this regard, users will remain solely responsible for the content of their messages. You acknowledge and agree that neither we nor any of our affiliates will assume or have any liability for any action or inaction by us with respect to any conduct within the Participatory Areas or any communication or posting on the Participatory Areas.

Our Right To Use Your Material. You hereby grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display any message or item posted in or uploaded to any of the Participatory Areas by you and/or any e-mail (in whole or in part) sent by you to us, and/or to incorporate the same, in whole or in part, in other works in any form, media or technology now known or later developed.

Privacy. We have implemented a Privacy Policy to protect the information you provide to us and to regulate how it will be used. You should be aware, however, that any personal information that you might disclose in the bulletin boards and chat areas can be collected and used by others, and could result in unsolicited messages from other posters or parties. You also acknowledge that transmissions to and from this Site are not confidential and may be read or intercepted by others. This is not something we can stop or control, and we will not be deemed to have any liability for unsolicited or intercepted messages.
