Although we are pleased to hear from our audience, we do not accept or consider any creative ideas, suggestions or other Material. We hope you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings if your ideas are similar to those we or our affiliates have developed independently. As such, we ask that you do not send us any creative materials, including, without limitation, any stories, concepts, content ideas, character ideas, treatments, screenplays, books, songs, musical compositions, artwork or other materials (collectively, the “Unsolicited Submissions”). If, despite our request, you submit to us an Unsolicited Submission via email, facsimile, postal mail or otherwise, your submission of same shall, upon our receipt of it, be deemed: (a) to grant to us, for consideration which you deem sufficient and received by you, the perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive and irrevocable right to use, reproduce, modify and publish the Unsolicited Submission and to create derivative works based on the Unsolicited Submission and to develop, produce, distribute, display, exhibit, exploit, promote and advertise the Unsolicited Submission and such derivative works in all media, now known or hereafter devised; (b) to grant to us of the right (by not the obligation) to use your name in connection with any of the aforementioned uses; (c) to indicate a waiver by you of any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, that you may have stemming from and/or related to any use by us of the Unsolicited Submission; and (d) to indicate your agreement that such Unsolicited Submission is non-confidential and that we are not liable for any disclosure of the contents of any Unsolicited Submission.

If you become involved in any violation of system security, we reserve the right to release your details to system administrators at other sites in order to assist them in resolving security incidents.

Investigations

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms, including without limitation any violation arising from any submission (including any Unsolicited Submission or Invited Submission), posting or e-mails you make or send to any Forum. We may seek to gather information from the user who is suspected of violating these Terms, and from any other user. We may suspend any users whose conduct or postings are under investigation and may remove such material from its servers as it deems appropriate and without notice. If we believe, in our sole discretion, that a violation of these Terms has occurred, we may edit or modify any submission, posting or e-mails, remove the material permanently, cancel postings, warn users, suspend users and passwords, terminate accounts or take other corrective action we deem appropriate. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any e-mails, or publishing or otherwise making available any materials that are believed to violate these Terms. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT YOU WAIVE AND HOLD US HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY US DURING OR AS A RESULT OF OUR INVESTIGATIONS AND/OR FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUNCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER US OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
