Section 4. Communities
General. The Web site, among other things, contains certain discussion forums, message board services, communities and/or other message or communication facilities (collectively, "Communities"). Much of the content of the communities, including without limitation the descriptions for many Communities and the content within a specific message or posting, is provided by and is the responsibility of the third party creator of the Community or the person posting in that Community. VOTF 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, other than in Communities intended for such uses.

• Conduct or forward surveys, contests, pyramid schemes or chain letters, other than in Communities intended for such uses.

• 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. VOTF does not control the information delivered to the Communities, and VOTF has no obligation to monitor the Communities. However, VOTF reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

No Endorsement. VOTF 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.

VOTF's Rights. If notified by a User of communications which allegedly do not conform to any term of this Agreement, VOTF may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and in its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the communication. VOTF will have no liability or responsibility for performance or non-performance of such activities. VOTF 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, including your violation of these terms. You acknowledge that some Communities available through the Web site are available only through the Web site and others are available both through the Web site and other sources, such as Usenet, over which VOTF has absolutely no control.

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 or your children in any Community. VOTF does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any Community and, therefore, VOTF 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 Web site (whether in 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 VOTF as confidential, that fact will be stated on those pages. For more information see VOTF's Privacy Policy.

By posting communications on or through the Web site, you automatically grant VOTF 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.
