8.1 Truthful Participation and Assumption of Risk in Interactive Communications.

Through our Site, you may participate in a number of interactive communication activities including chat, Forums, message boards, email, VOIP and other means of interactive communication with other participants ("Interactive Communications"). We cannot be, and we are not, responsible for the content, opinions or accuracy of any information provided or posted in any Interactive Communication. You participate at your own risk when engaging in any activity relating to the Site and/or the Service (including any Interactive Communication).

You expressly assume all risk and take full and sole responsibility for

• any use of any Information, Content or Materials provided or displayed on, or contained in, the Site (including in any Forum) and
• any communication or interaction with other users through the Site.

When participating in a Forum or Interactive Communication, you are wise to never assume that people are who they say they are, know what they say they know, or are affiliated with who they say they are. The term "Forum" means a chat area, message board, e-mail or other function that allows you to provide information or interact with others offered as part of Our Site. Portions of Our Site may allow users to post their own material. The materials posted by users do not necessarily reflect our views and we shall not be liable for any user information posted or displayed on, or uploaded onto any of the Site, including any Forum.

1. you have all necessary rights to such materials, and that the posting of such materials will not infringe on any personal or proprietary rights of any third party, including its intellectual property rights; and
2. such materials are not harmful, defamatory, unlawful, threatening, obscene, lewd, lascivious, harassing, and/or contrary to the principles, tenets, and Mission Statement of Our Organization.

8.3 We have the Right to Remove or Block Postings or Interactive Communications.

We reserve the right to remove or block any and all postings and Interactive Communications, including those that we consider to be:

• Defamatory, libelous, slanderous or disparaging of, or insulting to, any person, group or entity; abusive or hateful; obscene, lewd, or vulgar; or contrary to, or inconsistent with, the principles, tenets, and Mission Statement of Our Organization,

• Any harassing notes, postings or Interactive Communications that might be construed as stalking, or any postings that might otherwise be illegal or relate to illegal activity, any such harassing content or communications will be deleted and may be made available to the proper law-enforcement officials. While we reserve the right to remove any posting, we shall have no obligation to do so.

8.4 Ownership in Posted Material.

By uploading or communicating any materials, ideas or submissions to any of our Site, including any Forum, or submitting any materials to us in any other manner, you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such materials expressly granted) to us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and display, create derivative works from and distribute such materials, or to incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed. In addition, you waive and warrant that all so-called "moral rights" in those materials have been waived. You agree that we own any derivative works, improvements or other materials, works, ideas, intellectual property, and/or products created from, based on, or related to, our access to, or use of, any materials you provide.
