Section 2. Limitation of Liability / Disclaimer of Damages.

Your use of the Discussion Forum is at your own risk. If you are dissatisfied with any of the Materials or other contents of the Discussion Forum or with these Terms and Conditions, the Company's Privacy Policy, or other policies, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Discussion Forum.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO ANY USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR LOST PROFITS) RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE DISCUSSION FORUM OR THE MATERIAL, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE COMPANY IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Section 3. Communities.

General. The Discussion Forum, among other things, may contain discussion forums, ratings, comments, bulletin board services, chat areas, news groups (collectively, "Communities"). Much of the content of the Communities, including without limitation the descriptions for many Communities and the content within a specific message, comment or posting, is provided by and is the responsibility of the third party creator of the Community or the person posting in that Community. The Company has no responsibility for such content and is merely providing access to such content as a service to you.

BY THEIR VERY NATURE, COMMUNITIES 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 COMMUNITIES.

Permitted Uses. You agree that you are responsible for your own communications and for any consequences thereof. You agree to use the Communities only to send and receive messages and material that are legal, proper and related to the particular Community. By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that when using a Community, you will not:

Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others.
Publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate or offer to do the same (hereinafter "Post") any inappropriate, defamatory, infringing, obscene, or unlawful material or information.
Post any material that infringes any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any party (the "Rights"), unless you are the owner of the Rights or have the permission of the owner to post or transmit such material.
Post any files that contain viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of another's computer.
Advertise or offer to sell any goods or services for any commercial purpose.
Conduct or forward surveys, contests, pyramid schemes or chain letters.
Download any file Posted by another user of a Forum that you know, or reasonably should know, cannot be legally distributed in such manner.
Impersonate another person or entity, or falsify or delete any author attributions, legal or other proper notices or proprietary designations or labels of the origin or source of software or other material contained in a file that is Posted.
Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Communities.

No Obligation to Monitor. The Company does not control the information delivered to the Communities, and the Company has no obligation to monitor the Communities. However, the Company reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or 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 the Company's sole discretion.

No Endorsement. The Company does not endorse, support, represent or guaranty the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any communications Posted in the Communities or endorse any opinions expressed in the Communities. You acknowledge that any reliance on material Posted in the Communities will be at your own risk.

Company's Rights. If the Company discovers communications which allegedly do not conform to any term of this Agreement, the 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. The Company will have no liability or responsibility for performance or non-performance of such activities. The Company reserves the right to terminate or restrict your access to any or all of the Communities at any time without notice for any reason whatsoever.

Privacy. You acknowledge that all Communities are public and not private communications, and that therefore others may read your communications without your knowledge. Always use caution when giving out any personally identifying information about yourself in any Community. The Company does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any Community and, therefore, the Company specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Communities and any actions resulting from your participation in any Community. Generally, any communication which you post to the Discussion Forum (whether in chat rooms, discussion groups, message boards or otherwise) is considered to be non-confidential. If particular Web pages permit the submission of communications that will be treated by the Company as confidential, that fact will be stated on those pages.

License Grant. By posting communications on or through the Discussion Forum, you automatically grant the Company a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive 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.

Section 4. Copyright Infringement and Copyright Agent.

The Company may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, remove, or disable access to, material on the Discussion Forum that infringes on the rights of others.

If you believe that your work has been used on the Discussion Forum in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide the Company's Copyright Agent with a written notice (e-mail to inquire@acusafe.com is sufficient) that includes the following information:
