3. Messages & Forums

You are welcome to post, transmit or submit messages and other materials, which include inputting data or engaging in any form of communication in connection with the Web Site or its associated services (collectively “Messages”) to bulletin boards or other public areas within, or in connection with, the Web Site or its associated services (collectively “Forums”). However, I accept no responsibility whatsoever in connection with or arising from such Messages.

I do not endorse and have no control over the content of Messages submitted by others to Forums. Messages submitted to Forums are not necessarily reviewed by me prior to posting. I make no warranties, express or implied, as to the content of the Messages in the Forums or the accuracy and reliability of any Messages and other materials in the Forums.

You are solely responsible for the content of any Messages you submit to Forums or to the Web Site. Please choose carefully the information you post on the Web Site.

I assume no responsibility for actively monitoring Forums for inappropriate Messages. If at any time I choose, in my sole discretion, to monitor the Forums, I nonetheless assume no responsibility for the content of the Messages, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Messages, and no responsibility for the conduct of the user submitting any Message. In submitting Messages to Forums, you agree to strictly limit yourself to discussions about the subject matter for which the Forums are intended. You agree that I accept no liability whatsoever if I determine to prevent your Messages from being submitted or if I edit, restrict or remove your Messages. You also agree to permit any other user of the Web Site or its associated services to access, view, store or reproduce the material for that other user’s personal use and not to restrict or inhibit the use of the Web Site or its associated services by any other person.

In addition, children under the age of 13 are not authorized to post Messages or participate in Forums on the Web Site or its associated services.

The following is a partial list of the content that you are prohibited from posting to Forums or elsewhere on the Web Site. You agree that you will not submit Messages to Forums or to the Web Site that:

  1. violate the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of any other person. By submitting Messages to Forums, you represent to me that you are the rightful owner of such material or that you have first obtained permission to submit the material from the rightful owner;
  2. are unlawful, threatening, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane or indecent, including any communication that constitutes (or encourages conduct that would constitute) a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability or otherwise violates any local, state, national or international law;
  3. include photographs containing nudity, or obscene, lewd, excessively violent, harassing, sexually explicit or otherwise objectionable subject matter;
  4. improperly assume or claim the identity, characteristics or qualifications of another person;
  5. are for purposes of spamming;
  6. contain any virus or other harmful component;
  7. are libelous, or an invasion of privacy or publicity rights or any other third party rights; or
  8. are for commercial purposes or contain advertising or are intended to solicit a person to buy or sell services or to make donations.

Despite these prohibitions on the content of Messages, information provided by other users may contain inaccurate, inappropriate, offensive or sexually explicit material, products or services, and I assume no responsibility or liability for this material. If you become aware of misuse of the Forums by any person, please contact me in writing through the Web Site. I reserve the right, in my sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any posting or Message (including e-mail) by you, or to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the Forums at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice, and without liability. You agree to release me from any and all liability and obligations whatsoever in connection with or arising from your use of Forums. If at any time you are not happy with the Forums or object to any material within Forums, your sole remedy is to cease using them.

You agree that any Message whatsoever submitted by you becomes the property of the Web Site and may be used, copied, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, publicly performed and published, displayed or deleted as I see fit.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Forum users. I reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other users.

4. Unsolicited Submissions

I do not knowingly accept unsolicited submissions including, without limitation, submissions of presentations, business plans, scripts, story lines, articles, drawings, ideas or concepts. I simply delete any such submission without reading it or forwarding it. Therefore, any similarity between an unsolicited submission and any elements in any Eric Turk or Eric Turk-associated creative work including, without limitation, a product, service, audiovisual material, film, series, story, title or concept would be purely coincidental.
