COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL MEDIA SITES, CHAT ROOMS, FORUMS, BLOGS AND PUBLIC POSTING AREAS
SFL wants to encourage an open exchange of information and ideas through the SFL Sites. But we cannot and do not review every posting made on the SFL Sites, or in chat rooms, forums, blogs, and other public posting areas. You can expect these areas to include content, information, and opinions from a variety of individuals and organizations other than SFL. We do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of any posting, regardless of whether the posting comes from a user, from a celebrity or "expert" guest, or from a member of our staff. There is no substitute for healthy skepticism and your own good judgment.

Responsibility for what is posted on the SFL Sites, including SFL's community and social media sites, or in chat rooms, forums, blogs and other public posting areas on the SFL Sites, lies with each user -- you alone are responsible for material you post. SFL does not control the messages, information or other content that you or others may provide through the SFL Sites. You may use the SFL Sites for lawful purposes only.

By using the SFL Sites, you agree not to submit, post or transmit through the SFL Sites any material or otherwise engage in any conduct that:

Results in the posting or transmission of any message anonymously or under a false name;

Results in any message being posted to any area of the SFL Sites if that message is, in SFL's view, off-topic or in violation of this Visitor Agreement; or
Violates this Visitor Agreement, guidelines or any policy posted on the SFL Sites, or interferes with the use of the SFL Sites by others.

Although SFL cannot monitor all content on SFL's community and social media sites, or postings in the chat rooms, forums, blogs and other public posting areas, you understand that SFL shall have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the content of the SFL Sites to determine compliance with this Visitor Agreement and any other operating rules that may be established by SFL from time to time. SFL shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to edit, move, delete, or refuse to post any material, including but not limited to Content Submissions, submitted to or posted on the SFL Sites for any reason, including violation of these Terms of Use, whether for legal or other reasons, or because the material is objectionable or stale. Notwithstanding this right of ours, users shall remain solely responsible for the content of their messages and Content Submissions. You acknowledge and agree that neither SFL nor any of its affiliates shall assume or have any liability for any action or inaction by SFL with respect to any conduct within the SFL Sites or any communication or posting on the SFL Sites. SFL also reserves the right to disclose any information that SFL believes necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental request, or to refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part.

SFL requires you not to use the SFL Sites to violate anyone's copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights. By posting or submitting any material (including, without limitation, photographs and videos) to the SFL Sites, you are warranting and representing that you own or have the right to post or make such submission of the material, or are making your submission or posting with the express consent of the owner, and that no other party has any right, claim, or interest in the material that you have submitted or posted. You also warrant that all moral rights in any material that you submit to us or post have been waived. Submitting or posting material that is the property of another, without the consent of its owner, is not only a violation of this Visitor Agreement, but may also subject you to legal liability for infringement of copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights.

USE OF MATERIALS
With the exception of any and all Content Submissions (SFL's permitted use of which is discussed above) and any material posted on SFL's community and social media sites, all other material you submit to any of our chat rooms, forums, blogs and other public posting areas, whether text or images, becomes the property of SFL and may be reproduced, modified and distributed as we see fit, in any medium, for any purpose and in perpetuity. Further, you understand that by posting material on SFL's community and social media sites, you are granting to SFL, and to anyone authorized by SFL, a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to display, use, copy, modify, transmit, sell, exploit, create derivative works from, distribute, and/or publicly perform such materials posted on SFL's community and social media sites, in whole or in part, in any manner or medium, now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose. The foregoing grant shall include the right to exploit any proprietary rights in such posting or submission, including, but not limited to, rights under copyright, trademark, service mark or patent laws under any relevant jurisdiction. Also, in connection with the exercise of such rights, you grant SFL, and anyone authorized by SFL, the right to identify you as the author of any of your postings or submissions by name, email address or screen name, as SFL deems appropriate.

The materials available through the SFL Sites are the property of SFL or its licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws including acceptable classroom use. You are free to display and print for your personal, non-commercial use information you receive through the SFL Sites. Except as otherwise provided in this Visitor Agreement, you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit, or create derivative works from these materials or content, or make commercial use of them without obtaining express prior written permission from SFL. You may not distribute copies of materials found on the SFL Sites in any form (including by e-mail or other electronic means), without prior written permission from the owner. Of course, you're free to encourage others to access the information themselves on the SFL Sites, and to tell them how to find it.

SFL HAS A "NO REFUND" POLICY, I.E., IF ANY MATERIAL IS ACCESSED FROM AN SFL SITE FOR A FEE, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS IF THAT MATERIAL IS NOT RECEIVED OR USABLE FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN A REASON WHICH IS THE SOLE FAULT OF SFL.

LIMITATIONS ON LINKING
We welcome hypertext links to the nonproprietary pages of the SFL Sites so long as the link does not state or imply any sponsorship or endorsement of your site by any of the SFL Sites or by SFL. You agree not to post hypertext links to any other content on the SFL Sites to weblogs, newsgroups, mail lists or electronic bulletin boards, without our written consent.

MISCELLANEOUS
The SFL staff works hard to ensure that information we post to the SFL Sites is both timely and accurate. But the news changes over time and reports that were accurate when posted may quickly become old news. Though we may post follow-up reports, and may continue to provide access to the original report, as in an archive of news stories, for example, we don't go back and change the original report to reflect new developments. If you're looking for the most recent information on a given subject, and not the history of how the story unfolded, be sure you're not looking at an out-of-date report.

As part of any such registration process, you will select a user name and a password. You agree that the information you supply during that registration process will be accurate and complete.

SFL reserves the right to reject or terminate any user name or password that, in its judgment, it deems offensive. You will be responsible for preserving the confidentiality of your password and will notify SFL promptly of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your account. Further, you agree that you are responsible for all statements made and acts or omissions that occur on your account while your password is being used.
