7. HOSTED AND SUBMITTED CONTENT - COPYRIGHT AND OTHER RIGHTS

LEE Industries assumes no liability with respect to disputes over Content ownership, copyright, or trademarks. In the event that we are notified that your Submitted Content allegedly infringes the ownership, copyright, trademark or other rights of a third party, we will follow the procedures set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") for taking down your Submitted Content and notifying you of the same. If you provide us with a counter-notice pursuant to the DMCA, we will follow the procedures outlined in the DMCA for addressing such counter-notice and potentially reposting your Submitted Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we retain the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to remove your Submitted Content or refuse to publish the same for reasons unrelated to Content ownership, copyright or trademark disputes, including maintaining our preferred commercial or artistic impression for the Site.

It is our policy to terminate the License of any users who are repeat infringers of others' copyrights or trademarks.

8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

While we use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information on the Site, we make no representations as to the accuracy, quality, timeliness, availability, or completeness of the information, documents, Content or other materials available on the Site, and you should not rely upon them. We provide the Site and any Service on an "AS IS, AS AVAILABLE" basis. You use the Site and Services at your own risk, and LEE Industries, its employees, directors, and agents are not liable for any errors or omissions in the Site's or Service's content or delivery, or for any form of loss or damage (including any consequential, indirect, incidental, special, or exemplary damages, even if known to us) that may result from use of the Site or Services. We expressly disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

You will indemnify and hold LEE Industries, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, and employees harmless against any claim, dispute, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which may arise from a breach or violation by you of these Terms of Use, including any Content submitted to, uploaded to, or transmitted via LEE Industries by you.

10. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Your breach of these Terms of Use may result in immediate and irreparable harm to us, for which there may be no adequate remedy at law, and, therefore, you agree that we shall be entitled to equitable relief to compel you to cease and desist all unauthorized use, evaluation and/or disclosure of information obtained through the Site, which is in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

11. JURISDICTION

These Terms of Use, and the rights and obligations hereunder, are to be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Arizona. Any legal action or proceeding between you and us arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use or your use of the Site shall be brought exclusively in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Phoenix, Arizona, and you hereby expressly and irrevocably consent to be bound by the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

12. NO WAIVER; SEVERABILITY

A waiver of any breach of any provision of the Terms of Use shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any repetition of such breach and shall not in any manner affect any other terms or conditions of the Terms of Use. We do not waive any rights by the failure to enforce these Terms of Use in every instance in which they might apply. In the event that any provision of the Terms of Use is held to be unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions and will be replaced by an enforceable provision that is the closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.

13. ASSIGNABILITY

We may assign our rights and delegate our duties under the Terms of Use either in whole or in part at any time without notice. You may not assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer your rights or obligations, in whole or in part, under the Terms of Use to anyone else without our prior written consent.
