You also agree not to use another User’s user name and password. You will immediately notify Company if You become aware of any loss or theft of Your password or any unauthorized use of Your user name and password. Company will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Your failure to comply with these obligations.

Permission to use postings:
Forums are the resources and property of Company and/or its licensors and User will not have any proprietary interest in any Forum. By submitting content or information of any type (a “Posting”) to a Forum or other portion of the Website or by otherwise using the Website to transmit or display a Posting, User automatically grants Company a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, perform, and display such Posting (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate into other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such Posting. User represents that User has all necessary rights to make the Posting available to Company and acknowledges that such Postings are non-confidential for all purposes and that Company has no control over the extent to which any idea or information may be used by any party or person once it’s posted or displayed.

Moreover, Company assumes no responsibility for the deletion of or failure to store any Posting and recommends that Users do not post, display, or transmit any confidential or sensitive information.

No pre-screening of postings:
Company is not responsible for screening, policing, editing, or monitoring User’s Postings and encourages all of its Users to use reasonable discretion and caution in evaluating or reviewing any Posting. Moreover, and except as provided below with respect to Company’s right and ability to delete or remove a Posting (or any part thereof), Company does not endorse, oppose, or edit any opinion or information provided by any User and does not make any representation with respect to, nor does it endorse the accuracy, acceptability, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement, or other material displayed, uploaded, or distributed by any User. Nevertheless, Company reserves the right to review, delete, remove, or take other action with respect to Postings (or parts thereof) that Company believes in good faith violate this Agreement and/or are, or are potentially, unlawful or harmful to Company or its affiliates, employees, services, or goodwill. If User violates this Agreement, Company may, in its sole discretion, delete the unacceptable content from User’s Posting, remove or delete the Posting in its entirety, issue User a warning, and/or terminate User’s use of the Website.

Copyright; designated agent for notification of claims of infringement:
Company respects the intellectual property of others, and it asks its Users to do the same. Accordingly, it is Company’s Privacy Policy to respond to a notice of alleged infringement that complies with U.S. Copyright Law, and in particular, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Responses may include removing or disabling access to content or material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating User’s right to access and use the Website. But, User acknowledges that it may be liable for damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs, if User materially misrepresents that a work or activity is infringing User’s rights. If Company terminates or suspends a User’s access to or use of the Website, Company will make a good-faith attempt (as warranted) to contact the person who posted the content so that they may make counter notification pursuant to applicable laws. If a User believes that one or more of its works have been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, User should provide a written notice of the claim of copyright infringement (“DMCA Takedown Notice”) that is directed to Company’s designated agent (“Copyright Agent”), as specified below, along with the following information: • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works; • Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material; • Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact You, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail; • A statement that You have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and • A statement that, under penalty of perjury, the information in the notification is accurate and You are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. The Company acts as the Copyright Agent to receive DMCA Takedown Notices and may be contacted by email at: info.us@Herbion.com. For clarity, only DMCA Takedown Notices should go to the Copyright Agent; any other feedback, comments, online purchases or other communications should be directed to the applicable customer service links posted on the Website. Counter notification, as permitted by applicable law and, in particular, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, may be sent to the Copyright Agent. All counter notifications must include responsive information to what is set forth above including any required statements or signatures.

Feedback and submissions:
Company welcomes User’s feedback and suggestions about Company’s programs or services or with respect to how to improve the Website.

In addition, any feedback received through the Website will be deemed to include a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, non-exclusive right and license for Company to adopt, publish, reproduce, disseminate, transmit, distribute, copy, use, create derivative works, and display (in whole or in part) worldwide, or act on such feedback without additional approval or consideration, in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such content, and User hereby waives any claim to the contrary.

Company, in its sole discretion, may feature and/or post the advertisements of third parties on the Website and/or feature on the Website materials, programs, products, and services provided by third parties. Company makes no representations with respect to, nor does it guarantee or endorse, the quality, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, or correct sequencing of such third-party materials, programs, products, and services or any other materials, programs, products, and services which such third-party materials, products, and services may access. User’s correspondence or any other dealings with third parties found through the Website are solely between User and such third party. Accordingly, Company expressly disclaims responsibility and liability for all third-party provided materials, programs, products, and services contained on or accessed through the Website, and User agrees that Company shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such third parties on the Website.

You agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the federal or state courts in the State of New York and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.

Company will also comply with all court orders or subpoenas involving requests for such information. In addition to the foregoing, Company reserves the right to, at any time and without notice, modify, suspend, terminate, or interrupt operation of or access to the Website, or any portion of the Website in order to protect the Website, Company, or Company’s business.

Injunctive Relief:
You acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to unauthorized use of Company proprietary assets, will cause irreparable injury to Company, such injury would not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and Company would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that Company shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of Your obligations under any provision of this Agreement.

If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and the liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most clearly matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in effect.
