Good Samaritan Third-Party Content Policy and Complaint Procedures.
9. Policy.
We have provided opportunities for You to contribute content to Our site through various means, including,
but not limited to, Your user profile, bulletin boards, and chats. It is Our policy, however, not to
tolerate or allow any acts of intellectual property infringement, violations of U.S. law, obscene or
defamatory material, or other unacceptable content to be posted at this site. We will attempt to remove,
disable or restrict access to or the availability of content that, in Our sole discretion, is infringing,
racist, obscene, obscene as to minors, lascivious, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable
or unacceptable. The provisions of this Section are intended to implement this policy but are not intended
to impose a contractual obligation on Us to undertake, or refrain from undertaking, any particular course
of conduct.
10. Complaint Procedures.
If You believe that someone has posted content which violates this policy (other than in cases of
copyright infringement, which is addressed in Section Ten(10)), promptly notify Us by e-mail at the
following address: Legal@theimagemasters.us. You must use this address if you want to ensure that your
complaint is actually received by the appropriate person charged with investigating alleged policy
violations. In order to allow Us to respond effectively, please provide Us with as much detail as possible,
including: (1) the nature of the right infringed or violated (including the registration numbers of
any registered trademarks or patents allegedly infringed); (2) all facts which lead You to believe
that a right has been violated or infringed; (3) the precise location where the offending content is
located; (4) any grounds to believe that the person who posted the content was not authorized to do
so or did not have a valid defense (including the defense of fair use); and (5) if known, the identity
of the person or persons who posted the infringing or offending content.
11. Indemnification/Waiver of Certain Rights.
By lodging a complaint, You agree that the substance of your complaint shall be deemed to constitute
a representation made under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Colorado. In addition,
You agree, at Your own expense, to defend and indemnify Us and hold Us harmless against all claims
which may be asserted against Us, and all losses incurred, as a result of Your complaint and/or Our
response to it.
12. Waiver of Claims and Remedies.
We expect all users of Our site to take responsibility for their own actions and cannot assume liability
for any acts of third-parties which take place at this site. By taking advantage of the Good Samaritan
procedures set forth in this Section, You waive any and all claims or remedies which You might otherwise
be able to assert against Us under any theory of law (including, but not limited to, intellectual property
laws) that arise out of or relate in any way to the content at this site or Our response, or failure
to respond, to a complaint.
13. Investigation/Liability Limitation.
You agree that We have the right, but not the obligation, to investigate any complaint received.
By reserving this right, We do not undertake any responsibility in fact to investigate complaints or
to remove, disable or restrict access to or the availability of content. We support free speech on
the Internet and therefore will not act on complaints that we believe, in Our sole discretion, to be
deficient. If You believe that content remains on this site that violates Your rights, YOUR SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE AGAINST THE PERSON(S) RESPONSIBLE FOR POSTING OR STORING IT, NOT AGAINST
US.
14. Digital Millennium Copyright Act Compliance.
If You believe that a work protected by a U.S. copyright which You own has been posted or stored
on Our site without Your authorization, You may contact Our agent as follows: Via U.S. mail, at the
address listed above; via e-mail, Legal@theimagemasters.us; or via fax, (800) 988-9252. Please include
information sufficient to identify the work, its location on Our site, when you accessed it, and Your
copyright information. It is Our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the access rights
to Our site of repeat infringers.
