From time to time, Carnegie may, at its sole discretion, allow you to submit certain content including, but not limited to, photos, messages, notes, text, information, music, video, advertisements, listings, or other content on the Services (collectively, “User Content”) and make available such User Content through the Services.

You are solely responsible for any User Content that you upload, transmit, share, publish or display (collectively and hereinafter, “Post” or “Posts,” as the context may require) on or through the Services, or transmit to or share with others. You are and shall be at all times solely responsible for your own User Content and the consequences of Posting such User Content and affirm, represent, and warrant that you own, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize Carnegie to use, all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or any other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Content to enable inclusion and use of the User Content in any manner contemplated by Carnegie and these Terms of Use.

You are solely responsible, at your sole cost and expense, for creating any backup copies or replacing any User Content you Post on the Services.

In Posting User Content to the Services, you authorize and direct Carnegie to make such copies thereof as it deems necessary in order to facilitate the Posting and storage of the User Content on the Services and you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to Carnegie and its affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, royalty-free worldwide license (with the assigned right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, on or in connection with the Services or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing.

Your obligations to Carnegie and its affiliates and third-party service providers relating to your use of the Services prior to termination shall continue after termination.

Carnegie has the right to disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that material posted by you, or through your username, violates such third party's rights, including its intellectual property rights or its right to privacy, and to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services.

Carnegie shall have no liability to any user or third party whatsoever for the resulting unavailability of the Services, or for any loss of data or transactions caused by planned or unplanned system outages, or for the resultant delay, misdelivery, or non-delivery of information caused by such system outages.

Carnegie reserves the right to terminate, withdraw or amend the Services or any portion thereof, including any product, service, or material we provide on or through the Services, in our sole discretion without notice.

13. Third Party Content.

Carnegie is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content supplied by you and third parties. Accordingly, Carnegie has no more editorial control over such content than does a public library, bookstore, or newsstand. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by third parties, including information providers, users or any other user of the Services, is the property those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of Carnegie. Neither Carnegie nor any third-party provider of information guarantees the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content, nor its merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. (Please refer to Section 7 above for the complete provisions governing limitation of liabilities and disclaimers of warranty.) In many instances, the content available through the Services represents the opinions and judgments of the respective information provider, you, or other user not under contract with Carnegie. Carnegie and the Carnegie Parties neither endorse nor are responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice or statement made through the Services. Under no circumstances will Carnegie or the Carnegie Parties be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on information obtained through the Services. It is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice or other content available through the Services.

While using the Services, you may access the Services through a third-party app or access third-party apps or websites through search results displayed on or through the Services and links contained on the Services. Such third-party apps or websites are not under Carnegie’s control, and Carnegie is not responsible for the availability of such apps or websites or their contents. Any links provided on the Services are provided for your interest or convenience only and do not represent or imply any endorsement by Carnegie of any such linked app or website. You acknowledge that the use of such third-party app or website is governed by the terms and conditions applicable to any such app or website, and if you decide to access any such third-party app or website, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for each such app or website.

14. Miscellaneous.

When you visit the website or use the Services, submit a request for help, send an email to us, create an account, or otherwise communicate with us through the Services or electronically, you expressly grant Carnegie, its affiliates, or its third-party service providers the right to communicate with you electronically and consent to the use of electronic signatures, electronic receipt of records and notices, and electronic communication. This includes, but is not limited to, posting notices on the Services or responding to your email. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, or other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Carnegie reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to communicate with you in paper form. You may withdraw your consent to electronic communications by contacting us as provided in Section 17 (How to Contact Us).

Except as expressly set forth herein, in the event of a conflict between these Terms of Use and any applicable terms to specific products or services that you receive from us, the terms of the specific product or service shall govern.

These Terms of Use (which hereby incorporates by reference any other provisions applicable to use of the Services, including, but not limited to, any supplemental terms governing the use of certain specific material contained on the Services and any operating rules for the Services established by Carnegie) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter. No failure on the part of Carnegie to exercise and no delay in exercising any right under these Terms of Use shall operate as a waiver of such right. If any provision contained in these Terms of Use is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from these Terms of Use and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

All matters relating to the Services or these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of Delaware, in each case located in the City of Dover, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your jurisdiction of residence or any other relevant jurisdiction. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.
