The Owner will remove all Content and User Submissions if properly notified that such Content or User Submission infringes another’s intellectual property rights. The Owner also has sole discretion to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and complies with these Terms of Use as concerns obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length.

The Owner does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or appropriateness of the information, data, opinions, advice, or statements contained at such sites, and when you access such sites, you are doing so at your own risk. In providing links to the other sites, the Owner is in no way acting as a publisher or disseminator of the material contained on those other sites and does not seek to monitor or control such sites.
