These Terms of Use, however, are not the only terms and conditions that apply to you and your legal agreement with us includes our Privacy Policy and other terms and conditions that we refer to in these Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy or those that we disclose or notify you when you use or attempt to use some of the features and functions that may be available to you as a user of this Website ("Additional Terms").

PRIVACY
We respect your privacy. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms a part of these Terms of Use and part of our agreement with you. Read it carefully since it describes, among other things, how we collect and use information we obtain when you use this Website.


WHO OWNS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND OTHER CONTENT RIGHTS
This Website and, except as described below, all Content, is either our property or the property of our affiliates, licensors, operational service providers, agencies or promotional partners, and are legally protected, without limitation, under U.S. federal and state laws and regulations, as well as applicable foreign laws, regulations and treaties. To avoid any doubt, when we use "Content" it includes, but isn't limited to, such things as software, code, design, text, images, photographs, illustrations, animations, audio, video and audio-visual material, art, graphic material, proprietary information, data, databases, service marks, trademarks, trade names, distinctive identification such as logos, the selection, sequence, 'look and feel' and arrangement of items and all copyrightable or otherwise legally protectible elements of this Website.
You keep ownership to any and all Content that is yours and if you submit or provide Content, these Terms of Use do not deprive you or any holder of your or their rights. However, when you do submit or provide Content to us or this Website, you are giving us an unconditional, irrevocable, transferable, royalty free worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, perform, adapt, translate, modify, create derivative works, publish, distribute, disseminate and/or broadcast that Content ("license") and you are representing and warranting to us you have the right to give us such license. If you do not have the right to license Content to us (or if you are not sure), do not submit or provide Content to us.
You may only use our Content and Content of other users for your own personal use and you have no right to transfer, assign or use the Content for any other purpose or allow or enable anyone else to do so. Personal use means nothing commercial or even charitable, whether or not money or other compensation or consideration is involved and whether or not it is for your benefit or for someone else. This also means you are not allowed to use, display, reproduce, perform, adapt, translate, modify, create derivative works, publish, distribute, disseminate and/or broadcast Content that is not yours without our express prior written consent. You may not alter, delete or conceal copyright or other notices, even if we let you download, display, print or share the Content with others. Unauthorized or prohibited use of Content may subject you to civil liability, criminal prosecution, or both under federal, state and local laws.


LINKS TO OTHER SITES
If you see or use any links or conduits on this Website which allow you to browse, redirect or visit any other websites, web pages or other internet or web-based locations, that does not mean we are associated with or have endorsed, reviewed or even know anything about that site or page and we have no obligation, responsibility or liability to you or anyone else if you go to another web site, page or address outside this Website, even if a link on our site allowed you to do so. When you leave this Website, you should inquire and confirm from them the terms and conditions, privacy and other policies that apply to you since we neither control, nor have any responsibility for any third party sites, their practices or anything associated with their operations. In fact, even if another web site or web page has our name, logo or other identification normally associated with us, it may or may not be authorized and you should not assume it is our Website, unless it actually says so and the terms of use that apply to you are these Terms of Use.


ANY LIABILITY WE MAY HAVE IS LIMITED

IF ANY LIMITATION OF DAMAGES OR LIABILITY IS PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW, WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THE MAXIMUM DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS PERMITTED; HOWEVER, IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OF WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.


YOU ARE INDEMNIFYING US FOR YOUR BREACH
You shall defend us against any demands, claims or actions brought against us or arising as a result of any breach or violation of these Terms of Use by you ("Claim") and you shall indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) resulting from any such Claim. We have the right, at our expense, to assume exclusive defense against any Claim and all negotiations for settlement and you agree to cooperate with us in the defense of any such Claim, at our request.


WHAT LAW APPLIES?
Our Terms of Use shall be construed and enforced under the laws of the State of Texas applicable to parties resident in and contracts made, executed and wholly performed within the State of Texas. You specifically agree and submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts situated in Travis County and Austin, Texas and you will not object to jurisdiction or venue on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, inconvenient forum or otherwise.

Our Terms of Use can only be modified by us as described above or by mutual written agreement, signed by an authorized representative of ours. The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any term or condition is severable and shall not affect the rest of the Terms of Use. Headings are purely for reference and shall not affect the meaning of any term or condition. Any provision which must survive to allow us to enforce its meaning shall survive termination; however, no claim or action relating in any way to this Terms of Use, including our Privacy Policy, any Additional Terms, this Website, Content or otherwise with respect to the subject matter, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause of action arose).


2.0 ADDITIONAL TERMS – UGC (User Generated Content)

 
These Additional Terms form a part of our Terms of Use and apply to Posting of UGC (as defined below) using this Website.  The terms "Post" and "Posting" includes Content that is generated, developed, created and uploaded or submitted to this Website by you.  There are some additional provisions that apply to Content that you create and which is contained in distinct or separate files that can be Posted by uploading or transmitting them to our Website or to other users through Posting or other facilities we provide and we will refer to that type of Content as "UGC" which stands for User Generated Content.
YOU GIVE US SOME RIGHTS, BUT UGC IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
We don't claim ownership of or undertake responsibility or liability for UGC, but we obtain certain rights when you Post UGC. When you Post UGC you grant us an irrevocable, unconditional, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to use, distribute, modify, adapt and publicly display the UGC you Post, on or in connection with this Website and we can use it to create compilations, adaptations and derivative works. You also understand and agree that others, other users and third parties, may be able to obtain copies of UGC you Post and that we cannot and do not control them or what they may do or attempt to do with UGC you Post. Consequently, we cannot and do not accept or have any liability or obligations to you with respect to any UGC you Post and you do so at your own risk.
We do, of course, expect all our users to respect the rights of others and if you believe your or anyone else's rights are being violated or infringed upon or someone is not complying with our Terms of Use or is violating the law, you should notify us immediately. To report alleged copyright infringement in the United States only, please go to and follow the instructions in the Section entitled Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement included in the Additional Terms – Posting, that are part of our Terms of Use.  Subject to compliance with our legal and regulatory obligations, we reserve the right to take or refrain from taking any action available to us.


3.0 ADDITIONAL TERMS – POSTING

 


These Additional Terms form a part of our Terms of Use and apply to Posting (as defined below).
POSTING
Sometimes we provide specific areas on this Website where you can Post information about yourself and others, and communicate or upload Content such as photographs or audio-visual works. Posting includes not just Content in the form of files or material you upload to this Website, but also any messages or information you may send in the form of emails, text, comments, advice, opinions and ideas. You should understand we intend the terms "Post" and "Posting" and any variations of these words to be construed as broadly as possible and when we use the term "Content" it includes all of these things and anything else you might Post.
You acknowledge and agree when you Post something, it enters the public domain without reservation of any rights by you or control over its subsequent use. Postings are not only viewable publicly, but others may collect and use what you Post. For example, if you Post your telephone number or your email address, you may receive unwanted calls or unsolicited messages. You agree you will not Post Content that is subject to any copyright, trademark or other intellectual property protections or proprietary rights, including any rights of confidentiality, privacy or publicity, unless you are the owner of such rights or a licensee or authorized agent with permission from the owner to make such Post. Each time you Post, you are representing to us that the Content you Post is in compliance with the preceding sentence and that the act of Posting, as well as the Content you Post, is not in violation of any laws or regulations or any obligations or agreements you may have, including our Terms of Use.


WE CAN USE YOUR POSTINGS
You authorize us to use your Post, in whole or in part, throughout the universe, in perpetuity in or on any and all media, now known or hereafter discovered or developed, alone or together, in compilations or combinations, as part of other Content of any kind or nature and in any manner of our choosing, without notice or attribution. You have no right to require and we have no obligation to pay any fees, charges or royalties for our use or exploitation of your Post and we reserve the right to delete your Posting at any time and in any manner we choose.


DON'T POST PERSONAL INFORMATION
You should never Post Personal Information because, as we note above, anything you Post or that is Posted may be seen and obtained by others and is or may become publicly available. Postings on this Website may appear on other websites or when someone uses search technology looking for subjects related to or about a Posting. Never assume what you Post will be kept confidential or that other users or third parties will not be able to see or obtain access to your Posts. Neither you nor we can control who may see or obtain Posts. Nor do we control or know what they may do with Postings or for what purpose they may be used. While we ask you not to Post or share Personal Information, if you decide to do so anyway, we urge you to exercise discretion and caution, because you should always assume Personal Information you Post is and will become publicly available and you Post Personal Information at your own risk.
We should also point out that no communications, especially those over the Internet and using the facilities of the World Wide Web, including this Website, can be guaranteed to be secure, and at the risk of repetition, you should assume any Personal Information you share, whether by Posting or otherwise, may be seen and read (and possibly used) by others who you do not know and you do not intend to have it or use it.


IF YOU DON'T WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF
Assume everything you Post will be seen by everyone – on or off this Website. If there is information you wouldn't share with strangers or that might embarrass you or others, don't Post it.


WE AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR POSTINGS
We aren't responsible, liable or accountable for Posts. We reserve the right to monitor, screen or edit user Posts, for a particular reason or for no reason at all, at any time and from time to time in our sole discretion, without notice. We don't endorse or support any particular opinion, recommendation, information, advice or anything contained in or that might be inferred from a Post. We cannot and do not vouch for or guarantee the accuracy, validity, integrity or quality of any Posting and we cannot ensure that harmful, inaccurate, deceptive, offensive, defamatory, unlawful or otherwise objectionable Postings will not appear on this Website. By providing you and others with the ability to Post, this Website is a passive conduit and we neither undertake nor accept any obligation or liability relating to any Posting or the activities of users.
Don't send us or Post any original creative ideas, suggestions, information, materials or content of any kind that you wish to maintain as proprietary or confidential, because once you Post or send us anything, subject, of course to our Privacy Policy, we otherwise have an unrestricted right to use it and do anything with it, in any way and for any purpose, without obligation or restriction at all and we have no obligation to pay you or notify you or let anyone know we got it from you.


USERS CAN DISAGREE
Even though this Website allows you to interact, even if we have the capability to monitor your dealings with others; even if we find out about a dispute you are having with another user or third party, you are solely responsible for your interactions with others. We have no responsibility to monitor, resolve or get involved in any dispute or disagreement you have and although we reserve the right to do so, we don't undertake or accept any liability, whether we do or not.


DON'T RELY ON POSTED CONTENT
Content that is Posted on this Website can never replace or substitute for professional financial, medical, legal or other advice from those you know and trust. While we don't assume our users intentionally Post inaccurate, false or misleading Content, neither we nor you can ever check the qualifications of those who Post, nor is there any way to know if Postings are made for entertainment or other purposes. Certainly, no online user could ever possibly Post Content relevant to your own personal circumstances or situation and you should never rely on any Postings in making decisions or taking or failing to take specific actions, especially those that could have an effect on you or anyone else. If you have specific concerns or circumstances arise in which you need professional financial, medical or other guidance and advice, you should always consult with a trained and qualified specialist.


DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE, HEAR OR READ
Opinions, advice, statements, offers and information are solely those of the authors or originators and you should NOT rely on them as accurate or truthful – we don't endorse them or have any responsibility for them. We don't check Postings and there is no way for you to know (and you may never know) if Postings are for entertainment, information or otherwise.


DON'T LIE
Be truthful when you Post, but be wary of Postings from others. We want and hope everyone avoids being deceitful, but not everyone plays by the rules.


IF A POSTING IS OFFENSIVE, SAY SOMETHING
Always report offensive, harassing or other inappropriate Postings. If someone or something is making you uncomfortable in your interactions, report it immediately. Don't assume someone else will.


YOUR BEHAVIOR MATTERS
This Website gives you lots of control over what you Post and your online experience. You choose what to Post and share and what to do or not to do in our online environment. What you Post, how you behave and who you interact with has consequences.

TERMINATION OF YOUR RIGHTS
If your Posting violates your agreement with us, including our Terms of Use, these or any other Additional Terms that apply, we can take any action permitted under these Terms of Use, at law or in equity. For example, we can: (i) refuse to allow you to Post; (ii) delete or modify your Postings; (iii) revoke your right to use this Website; and/or (iv) use any technological, legal, operational or other means available to enforce our rights.
