7. User Content and Interactive Features or Areas
The Site may include discussion forums, blogs, profiles, product reviews or other interactive features or areas, including DEVACURL's Online Community (collectively, 'Interactive Areas'), in which you or other users create, post, transmit or store any content, such as text, music, sound, photos, video, graphics or code on the Site ('User Content'). User Content is publicly-viewable and includes your profile information and any content you post pursuant to your profile, but it does not include your MYDEVACURL.com account information (also known as 'DEVACURL Online Account' or 'Your Account') or information you submit to access online information or in order to make a purchase. You agree that you are solely responsible for your User Content and for your use of such Interactive Areas, and that you use the Interactive Areas at your own risk.
By using any Interactive Areas, you agree not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish or send through the Site any of the following:
a. User Content that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable;
b. User Content that would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, state, national or international law;
c. User Content that displays, describes or encourages usage of any product we sell in a manner that could be offensive, inappropriate or harmful to DEVACURL or any user or consumer or that is contrary to any instructions or warnings relating to the product (safety concerns can be reported here);
d. User Content that may impinge upon the publicity, privacy or data protection rights of others, including pictures or information about another individual where you have not obtained such individual's consent;
e. User Content that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any party;

i. DEVA CONCEPTS takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content posted, stored or uploaded by you or any third party or for any loss or damage thereto, nor is DEVA CONCEPTS liable for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography or profanity you may encounter. If you become aware of User Content that violates these Terms (with the exception of copyright and trademark infringement which is addressed in Sections 4 and 5), you may report it by clicking on the 'Flag as Inappropriate' link. Enforcement of the Terms, however, is solely in our discretion and the absence of enforcement of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the Terms in other instances. In addition, these Terms do not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation or promise that the Site will not contain any content that is prohibited by such Terms. Although DEVA CONCEPTS has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the User Content posted on the Site, DEVA CONCEPTS reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Content posted or stored on the Site at any time and for any reason without notice, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Site at your sole cost and expense.
Any use of the Site in violation of these Terms may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Interactive Areas and/or the Site. In order to cooperate with legitimate governmental requests, subpoenas or court orders, to protect DEVA CONCEPTS systems and customers or to ensure the integrity and operation of DEVA CONCEPTS business and systems, DEVA CONCEPTS may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, user profile information, IP addressing and traffic information, usage history and posted User Content. DEVA CONCEPTS right to disclose any such information shall govern over any terms of DEVA CONCEPTS Privacy Policy.
8. Rights in User Content and Submissions
Except as otherwise provided on the Site or in a separate agreement (such as the rules of an DEVACURL photo contest), DEVA CONCEPTS claims no ownership or control over any User Content. However, by submitting or posting User Content on the Site, you grant DEVA CONCEPTS and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such User Content on the Site and on third-party sites. We will contact you directly to obtain permission before we use your User Content for our own commercial purposes, unless you expressly grant these rights to DEVA CONCEPTS at the time you upload your content. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire; however, you acknowledge that there may be exceptions (for example, you cannot delete a vote you submitted that has already been counted or your purchase history). In addition, we may retain archived copies of your User Content and cached copies of your User Content may still be available for some period of time.
By posting User Content to the Site, you represent and warrant that (a) such User Content is non-confidential; (b) you own and control all of the rights to the User Content or you otherwise have all necessary rights to post and use such User Content to the Site and to grant the rights to DEVA CONCEPTS that you grant in these Terms; (c) the User Content is accurate and not misleading or harmful in any manner; (d) the User Content, and your use and posting thereof in connection with this Site, do not and will not violate these Terms, our Site Rules or any applicable law, rule or regulation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that any questions, comments, suggestions, reviews, ideas, plans, notes, drawings, original or creative materials or other information or materials regarding the Site, DEVA CONCEPTS or DEVACURL's products or services that are provided by you, whether by email, posting to the Site or otherwise ('Submissions'), are non-confidential and shall become the sole property of DEVA CONCEPTS. DEVA CONCEPTS shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of these materials for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. Do not send us a Submission if you expect to be paid or want to continue to own or claim rights in them; your idea might be great, but we may have already had the same or a similar idea and we do not want disputes.
9. Product Reviews
We may provide specific opportunities for you to tell MYDEVACURL.com and other MYDEVACURL.com members or users what you think about our products or services ('Product Reviews'). If you take advantage of such a Product Review opportunity, you agree to state your opinions lawfully, honestly and in good faith and to reveal to others any conflict of interest or relationship that might influence your views (e.g., if someone is paying or giving you something for free to encourage you to comment, you agree to make appropriate disclosures). All Product Reviews are strictly the opinion of the user posting such reviews, and DEVA CONCEPTS does not endorse or approve any such reviews or have any responsibility or liability for the accuracy, appropriateness or content of such reviews. Finally, we may use a third party to 'power' or provide the opportunity to review products or services. In that case, you will also need to review the terms of service for that third party's website, including its privacy policy, to determine whether they are acceptable to you. If they are not, do not use its site or provide Product Reviews.
