User Submissions

Any comment, material, information or other communication that you post, upload or submit to the Site or that is displayed on the Site at your direction (each a “Communication”) will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary, and we will be under no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any Communication.

You are responsible for your Communications. You shall ensure that your Communications do not infringe any copyright or trademark, do not defame or constitute trade libel with respect to any person, entity, product or service, or violate any other rights of any other of another person or entity. You shall be solely liable for any claims, damages or other liabilities resulting from your use of the Site or your uploading, posting, or submission of any Communication or the content of any of your Communications.

Any opinions, advice, statements or other information contained in Communications are those of the author and not of us. We do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any Communication. Please do your best to ensure that your own Communications are accurate.

By posting, uploading or otherwise submitting any Communication, you grant to us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up worldwide, fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, sell, translate, create derivative works from, archive, aggregate, distribute, transmit, perform and display such Communication and your name, likeness, voice, statements and endorsements as incorporated therein, in whole or in part, in any manner and in any media, format or technology, whether now or later known or developed, including all promotion, advertising, marketing, merchandising, publicity and any other ancillary uses thereof, and including the unlimited right to sublicense such rights, in perpetuity throughout the universe, without any further notice or payment to or permission from you.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor or review Communications. We are not in any manner responsible for the content of Communications. By providing you with the ability to view and distribute user-generated and/or user-submitted content on the Site, we are not undertaking any obligation or liability relating to any such content, including without limitation any liability arising under the laws relating to copyrights, trademarks, defamation, privacy or obscenity or any other applicable law. However, we reserve the right to block or remove any Communication, including without limitation any Communication that in our sole discretion we determine violates the Code of Conduct.

The Site may from time to time include Content concerning medical or health-related products or services. However, we do not provide medical advice.
