8.     Feedback & Public Posting; Unsolicited Ideas.  Certain features of the Services currently or in the future may allow you to post reviews, listings, comments, photographs, and other content; send communications; and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information (collectively, “Posted Content”).  Additionally, the Services may contain discussion forums, bulletin boards, review services or other forums in which you or third parties may post reviews or other content, messages, materials, or other items on the Services ("Interactive Areas").  You may supply Posted Content to these Services so long as the Posted Content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights of others, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of “spam.”  You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of Posted Content.  We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit any Posted Content for any or no reason but do not regularly review Posted Content.  You are solely responsible for your use of Interactive Areas and use them at your own risk.   No action should be taken based upon any of the information contained in the Interactive Areas.  All statements, information and other content submitted by users are solely the opinions of users, and not of the Company.

If you do supply Posted Content, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant to us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, unrestricted, and fully sublicensable right to use, modify, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, transmit, display, and distribute such Posted Content throughout the world in any media and for any purpose whatsoever to the extent permitted by law.  Also, you grant to us and our sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with the Posted Content if we choose.  By supplying the Posted Content, you represent and warrant that: (i) you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the Posted Content; (ii) the Posted Content is non-confidential; (iii) the Posted Content is accurate; (iv) use of the Posted Content does not violate any of the Terms and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and (v) you will indemnify the Company for all claims resulting from the Posted Content you supply.

9.     Third Parties.  Any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person that originated it, and you access all such information and content at your own risk, and we are not liable for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it.   We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services.  The Services may also contain links or connections to third party websites or services not owned or controlled by the Company and using the Services may require you to transact with third parties, such as for your internet connection or for transactions through the Services.  We are not responsible for these third-party services or individuals that you may interact with through the Services.  You are responsible for reviewing the terms of use of all third parties.

If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and any third party, we are under no obligation to become involved.  In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users or third parties, you release the Company, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services.  If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."

10.   Correction of Website Errors.  The information on the Website may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies.  We reserve the right to update any information we see fit at any time without prior notice.  Please note that such errors may relate to product information, pricing, and availability.  In these instances, we shall have the right to terminate any orders involving pricing errors or inaccuracies.  We apologize for any inconvenience.
