You release Talking Art from all liability for your having acquired or not acquired Content through the Site.

THE MATERIALS IN THIS SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, TALKING ART DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NONINFRINGEMENT, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

6.  USER CONTENT
You acknowledge and agree that if you upload to the Site, or otherwise transmit on or through the Site, Content ("User Content"), including by but not limited to submitting Content through the Make Your Own Art service or to any "Public Area" of the Site (e.g. public chat rooms, bulletin boards, etc.) you automatically grant, or warrant that the owner of such User Content has expressly granted, Talking Art the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display and otherwise exploit such Content (in whole or part, including all related intellectual property rights) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in 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 User Content.
In other words, if you don't own the User Content, or if you don't have permission from the person who does, don't upload it to this or any other Site of ours.
You warrant, represent and agree that you own or otherwise control all rights to such User Content and that disclosure and use of such User Content by Talking Art (including without limitation, publishing Content on or at the Site) will not infringe or violate any patent, trademark, service mark, trade secret, copyright, right of privacy or publicity or other right, including moral rights, of any other person or entity. You further warrant, represent and agree that you will not contribute any User Content which is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, indecent, threatening, harassing, or hateful, or contains a virus, Trojan horse, worm, time bomb or other computer programming routine or engine that is intended to damage or detrimentally interfere with any system, data or information. No User Content shall be subject to any obligation of confidentiality on our part.
Talking Art reserves the right to use User Content submitted by you as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, deleting, editing, modifying, rejecting, or refusing to post it. Talking Art reserves the right to remove any User Content from the Site at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all. You are responsible for all User Content posted under your username, including User Content contributed by a third party whom you have authorized to post User Content under your username. If you believe User Content residing on the Site infringes a copyright, please see our Copyright Policy.
Talking Art is under no obligation to offer you any payment for User Content you submit regardless of whether Talking Art commercializes such User Content in any way or the opportunity to edit, delete or otherwise modify User Content once it has been submitted to Talking Art. Talking Art shall have no duty to attribute authorship of works developed by Talking Art using your User Content to you, and shall not be obligated to enforce any form of attribution by third parties. We hope you will understand that this policy is necessary because Talking Art is continuously developing and creating its own ideas and materials, employees of Talking Art may currently be working on or previously have worked on ideas or materials similar to your User Content, and Talking Art may have received or may someday receive from others ideas or materials similar to your User Content. Talking Art may currently have or previously have had access to and/or may independently create or have created E-cards or other materials which may be similar or identical to the ideas, themes, or other elements of your User Content.

You will indemnify and hold Talking Art, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and employees, harmless, including costs and attorneys' fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of your access to the Site, your violation of this Agreement, or the infringement by you, or any third party using your Talking Art account of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.

8.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Under no circumstances shall Talking Art be liable for any special, consequential, incidental, indirect or punitive damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials in the Site, even if Talking Art or a Talking Art authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall Talking Art' total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort (including, but not limited to, negligence) or otherwise) exceed the greater of $100 or the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing this site.

9.  THIRD PARTY SITES
The Site may permit you to link to other websites or resources on the Internet, and other websites or resources may contain links to the Site. These other websites are not under Talking Art' control, and you acknowledge that Talking Art is not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness or any other aspect of such websites or resources. The inclusion of any such link does not imply endorsement by Talking Art or any association with its operators. You further acknowledge and agree that Talking Art shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such Content, goods or services available on or through any such website or resource.

You expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of this Site shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Broward County, Florida and you further agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action.

In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees.

This is the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter herein and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties.
The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Talking Art User except with Talking Art's prior written consent. Talking Art may transfer, assign or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations without consent.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Talking Art User does not have any authority of any kind to bind Talking Art in any respect whatsoever.

Talking Art may also terminate this Agreement immediately without notice if in Talking Art' sole discretion you fail to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement. Any fees paid hereunder are nonrefundable. Upon termination, your right to access and use the Site and any Content will immediately cease.
