We reserve the right to suspend or terminate Your registration and/or Account if We do not receive the requested documentation.

INTERACTIVE SERVICES AND USER CONTENT

Interactive Services
-
The Services may contain message boards, chat rooms, profiles, forums, bulletin boards, and other interactive features that allow Users to post, submit, publish, display, or transmit to others content, such as audio, video, text, or other materials (collectively, “User Content”). Users understand and acknowledge that by using the Services, Users may be exposed to User Content that Users may consider to be objectionable and/or inaccurate and that their use of the Services constitutes their acceptance of such risk.
All User Content must comply with this Agreement. Any User Content Users post on or through the Services will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By posting any User Content on or through the Services, Users grant Mana and its respective licensees, successors, and assigns the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, sell, exploit, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose, without restriction, and without compensation to Users. Users represent and warrant that:
(i) Users own or control all rights in and to their User Content;
(ii) Users have the right to grant the license granted above to Mana and its respective licensees, successors and assigns; and
(iii) all of their User Content does and will comply with this Agreement.
Users understand and acknowledge that Users are responsible for any User Content they submit or contribute, and Users, not Mana, have full responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy and appropriateness. If You delete User Content from the Services, Our general license to that User Content will end after a reasonable period of time required for the deletion to take full effect. However, the User Content may still exist in Our backup copies, which are not publicly available. If Your User Content is shared with third parties, those third parties may have retained copies of Your User Content. In addition, if We made use of Your User Content before You deleted it, We will continue to have the right to make, duplicate, redistribute, and sublicense those pre-existing uses, even after You delete the User Content. Terminating Your Account on the Services will not automatically delete Your User Content. User Content becomes public information, can be collected and used by others, and may result in the receipt of unsolicited messages from third parties. Mana discourages Users from posting any personal information that can be used to identify or locate Users, such as User addresses, email addresses, or phone numbers.
IF A USER CHOOSES TO POST ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, SUCH USER DOES SO AT HIS/HER OWN RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MANA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY PERSON OR THIRD PARTY FOR THE CONTENT OR ACCURACY OF ANY CONTRIBUTIONS POSTED BY ANY USER OF THE SERVICES.

Monitoring and Enforcement; Termination
Mana does not undertake a review of material before it is posted on or through the Services, and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable material after it has been posted. Accordingly, Mana assumes no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or content provided by any User or third party. Mana has no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this section. Mana does reserve the right, however, at its sole discretion, to take any of the following actions:
(i) Remove or refuse to post any User Content for any or no reason;
(ii) Take any action with respect to any User Content that Mana deems necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, if Mana believes that any User Content violates this Agreement,
infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of other Users or the public or could create liability for Mana;
(iii) Disclose User identity or other information about Users to any third party who claims that material posted by Users violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy;
(iv) Take appropriate legal action, including, without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services; and
(v) Terminate or suspend access to Your User Account or all or part of the Services for any or no reason, including, without limitation, any violation of this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, Mana reserves the right to fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing Us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any materials on or through the Services. USERS WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS MANA AND MANA PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
