1) Responsibility of Contributors
If you publish, comment on, or otherwise post material to Likewise publications, you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that content. That is the case regardless of whether the content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:
the downloading, copying and use of the content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party;
if your employer has rights to intellectual property you create, you have either (i) received permission from your employer to post or make available the Content, including but not limited to any software, or (ii) secured from your employer a waiver as to all rights in or to the Content;
you have fully complied with any third-party licenses relating to the content, and have done all things necessary to successfully pass through to end users any required terms;
the content does not contain or install any viruses, worms, malware, Trojan horses or other harmful or destructive content;
the content is not spam, is not machine- or randomly-generated, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to the source of the material (such as spoofing);
the content is not pornographic, does not contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party; and
your content is not named in a manner that misleads your readers into thinking that you are another person or company.
By submitting content to Likewise, you grant Likewise a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your work.
Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, Likewise has the right (though not the obligation) to, in Likewise sole discretion (i) refuse or remove any content that, in Likewise’s reasonable opinion, violates any Likewise policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable.
2) Responsibility of Website Visitors
Likewise does not claim to have reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material included in its publications, and cannot therefore be responsible for that material's content, use or effects. Likewise does not necessarily represent or imply that it endorses the material posted, or that it believes such material to be accurate, useful or non-harmful. Publications may contain content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, as well as content containing technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors. Likewise publications may also contain material that violates the privacy or publicity rights, or infringes the intellectual property and other proprietary rights, of third parties, or the downloading, copying or use of which is subject to additional terms and conditions, stated or unstated. Likewise disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from the use by visitors of its publications.
3) Content Posted on Other Websites
We have not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material made available through Likewise publications and other sites mentioned in the content posted. By linking to a non-Likewise website or webpage, Likewise does not represent or imply that it endorses such website or webpage. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. Likewise disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from your use of non-Likewise websites and webpages.
4) Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy
As Likewise asks others to respect its intellectual property rights, it respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material located on or linked to by a Likewise publication violates your copyright, you are encouraged to notify Likewise. Likewise will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material.
5) Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Likewise, its contractors, and its licensors, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of your use of the Website, including but not limited to your violation of this Agreement.
6) Miscellaneous
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Likewise and you concerning the subject matter hereof, and they may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of Likewise, or by the posting by Likewise of a revised version. Except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise, this agreement, any access to or use of this website will be governed by the laws of the state of Texas. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. You may assign your rights under this agreement to any party that consents to, and agrees to be bound by, its terms and conditions; Likewise may assign its rights under this agreement without condition. This agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
