    1. Content Moderation.  You acknowledge and agree that Cigar Social may refuse, alter, edit, delete, or disclose any UGC in whole or in part without cause and without notice for any legitimate purpose including, but not limited to, to address any UGC that Cigar Social determines is inappropriate or disruptive to the Services or to any other user of the Services. Cigar Social has no obligation or duty to, and does not represent that it will, monitor, change, or remove any UGC.

 

    1. UGC Representations and Warranties.  You represent and warrant to Cigar Social that any UGC you make available on or through the Services is original to you and you own all right, title and interest, including the intellectual property rights, to such UGC, or you have obtained all permissions, releases, rights or licenses from the respective owner that are required to grant the rights and assignment granted herein without obtaining any further releases or consents. You further represent and warrant that you will not make any UGC available on or through the Services that infringes third-party rights including, but not limited to, any intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, contract rights, or any other rights of any person or entity. You shall be solely liable for any damages, royalties, or fees resulting from any infringement of rights or any other harm resulting from any UGC you make available on or through the Services.

 

    1. No Endorsement.  The transmitting, posting, or making available of UGC through the Services, including any third-party business pages or other promotional content available through Third-Party Services (defined in Section 6(b), below), does not indicate any approval or endorsement by Cigar Social of such UGC. Cigar Social is not responsible for, and hereby disclaims any and all liability that may arise from the UGC or any act of accessing, browsing, contributing to, or otherwise using the Services.

 

    1. DMCA Notice Procedure.  The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available on or through the Services infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Cigar Social a notice requesting that the material be removed, or that access to it blocked. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see http://copyright.gov/ for details). Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Services should be sent via registered mail to Cigar Social’s designated agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement at:

You acknowledge that Third-Party Information does not represent Cigar Social's opinion or advice. In no event shall Cigar Social: (x) be liable for any damages whatsoever resulting from your reliance on Third-Party Services or Third-Party Information; (y) have responsibility for any act or failure to act of any Service Provider; or (z) refund any amounts paid by you for any Third-Party Service (including instructions performed by Service Provider).
