3. USER'S OBLIGATIONS
(a) The User understands that all Content, whether publicly
posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility
of the person from which such Content originated. This
means that the User, and not HomeComm, is entirely responsible
for all Content that the User uploads, posts, emails or
otherwise transmits via the Services.
(b) HomeComm does not control the Content posted via the
Services and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy,
integrity or quality of such Content. The User understands
that by using the Services, the User may be exposed to
Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable.
Under no circumstances will HomeComm be liable in any
way for any Content, for any errors or omissions in any
Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred
as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed
or otherwise transmitted via the Services. By way of example,
and not as a limitation, the User agrees not to use the
Services for the following non-exclusive situations: (i)
(ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) (ix) (x) (xi) (xii)
(c) The User acknowledges that HomeComm does not pre-screen
Content, but that HomeComm and its designees shall have
the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion
to edit, refuse to post or to remove any Content, in whole
or in part, at all times to satisfy any applicable law,
regulation, legal process or governmental request. Without
limiting the foregoing, HomeComm and its designees shall
also have the right to remove any Content that violates
the Terms Of Service (TOS) or is otherwise objectionable.
(d) The User agrees that the User must evaluate, and bear
all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including
any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness
of such Content. In this regard, the User acknowledges
that the User may not rely on any Content created by HomeComm
or submitted to HomeComm.
(e) The User acknowledges and agrees that HomeComm may
preserve Content and may also disclose Content if required
to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such
preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:
(a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the TOS; (c)
respond to claims that any Content violates the rights
of third-parties; or (d) protect the rights, property,
or personal safety of HomeComm, its Users and the public.
(f) With respect to Content which HomeComm elects to post
for inclusion in the Services, the User grants HomeComm
the world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive license
to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish such Content on
the Services solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing
and promoting HomeComm Services to which such Content
was submitted and/or to incorporate it in other works
in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed.
This license exists only for as long as the User elects
to continue to include such Content on the Services and
shall be terminated at the time the User deletes such
Content from the Services.
(g) The User agrees to use the Services only to post,
send and receive Content that is proper and related to
the Services.
(h) The User agrees that HomeComm does not control or
endorse the Content found in the Services and, therefore,
HomeComm specifically disclaims any liability with regard
to the Services and any actions resulting from the User's
participation in any Services. Managers and Hosts are
not authorized HomeComm spokespersons, and their views
do not necessarily reflect those of HomeComm.

of another's rights, including intellectual property rights.
The User specifically agrees that HomeComm is not responsible
for any content sent using and/or included in the Services

or other partners, and employees, harmless from any claim
or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made
by any third party due to or arising out of the Content

the User's use of the Services, the User's connection
to the Services, the User's violation of the TOS, or the

The Services and Content may direct the User to sites

listed in the directory or any of the Services or Content,
and so HomeComm isn't responsible for the accuracy, copyright
compliance, legality or decency of material contained
in sites listed in the Services or Content.
