EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN ANY APPLICABLE LICENSE OR TERMS OF PURCHASE AND SALE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM THE SITE:
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DGD’S LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED IS LIMITED, IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF DGD TO THE FOLLOWING:
Members and users of the Site may be invited to post reviews and feedback on products and services purchased through the Site. DGD has the right, but not the obligation, to regulate any and all user content posted to, stored on or transmitted via DGD or the Site by any user (or any other third party in any manner); to regulate conduct (including but not limited to any authorized or unauthorized access to or use of DGD) by any user (or any other third party in any manner); and to enforce the TOU, for any reason and in any manner or by any means that DGD, in its sole and unilateral discretion, deems necessary or appropriate (including but not limited to automated and manual screening, blocking, filtering, exclusion from index pages, exclusion from search results, requiring the use of an application programming interface (API), requiring the use of a bulk posting interface, authorization, verification, and the deletion and/or termination of content, accounts and/or all or any use or access). DGD may, in its sole and unilateral discretion and without notice, start, stop or modify any regulation or enforcement measures at any time. DGD action or inaction to regulate content or conduct or to enforce against any potential violation of the TOU by any user (or any other third party) does not waive DGD’s right to implement or not implement regulation or enforcement measures with respect to any subsequent or similar content, conduct or potential TOU violation.
You also understand and agree that any action or inaction by DGD or any of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, consultants, agents or representatives (collectively, “DGD Representatives”) to prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential TOU violation is undertaken voluntarily and in good faith, and you expressly agree that neither DGD nor any DGD Representative shall be liable to you or anyone else for any action or inaction to prevent, restrict, redress, or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential violation of the TOU.
Although DGD Representatives may moderate content, conduct and TOU compliance on DGD at it’s sole and unilateral discretion, DGD Representatives have no authority to make binding commitments, promises or representations to anyone that they or anyone else on behalf of DGD will “take care” of any alleged problem or complaint, or that they or anyone else on behalf of DGD will otherwise stop, cure or prevent any problem, content, conduct or purported TOU violation from occurring or recurring. Accordingly, you further agree that any representation (written or verbal) by any DGD Representative (or by anyone else acting on behalf of DGD or by anyone purportedly acting on behalf of DGD) that DGD (including but not limited to any DGD Representative, anyone else acting on behalf of DGD, or anyone purportedly acting on behalf of DGD) would or would not prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content (including, without limitation, screen, block, moderate, review, remove, terminate, delete, edit or otherwise stop, cure or exclude any content), or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential or purported TOU violation is superseded by this provision and is nonbinding and unenforceable. Specifically, you agree that DGD, DGD Representatives and anyone else authorized to act on behalf of DGD shall in no circumstance be liable as a result of any representation that DGD, an DGD Representative or anyone else on behalf of DGD would or would not restrict or redress any content, conduct or potential or purported TOU violation. This paragraph may not be modified, waived or released except by a written agreement, dated and signed by DGD’s President and Chief Executive Officer and dated and signed by the individual or entity to whom the modification, waiver or release is granted.
DGD also has the right in its sole and unilateral discretion to limit, modify, interrupt, suspend or discontinue all or any portions of DGD at any time without notice. DGD and DGD Representatives shall not be liable for any such limitations, modifications, interruptions, suspensions or discontinuance, or any purported losses, harm or damages arising from or related thereto.
Content prohibited from DGD includes but is not limited to: (1) illegal content; (2) content in facilitation of the creation, advertising, distribution, provision or receipt of illegal goods or services; (3) offensive content (including, without limitation, defamatory, threatening, hateful or pornographic content); (4) content that discloses another’s personal, confidential or proprietary information; (5) false or fraudulent content (including but not limited to false, fraudulent or misleading responses to user ads transmitted via DGD); (6) malicious content (including, without limitation, bullying, malware or spyware); (7) content that offers, promotes, advertises, or provides links to posting or auto-posting products or services, account creation or auto-creation products or services, flagging or auto-flagging products or services, bulk telephone numbers, or any other product or service that if utilized with respect to DGD would violate these TOU or DGD’s other legal rights; (8) content that offers, promotes, advertises or provides links to unsolicited products or services; or (9) personals, match making, escort services, prostitution, or any similar services; (collectively, “Prohibited Content”).
In the event you post Prohibited Content, DGD retains the right to ban you immediately and potentially for life from further use of the Site at its sole and unilateral discretion. You agree that DGD can at its discretion pre-screen content at any time in an attempt to maintain the integrity of the Site for all users based on this particular condition of usage. DGD reserves the right to change and/or discontinue, some or all of its services at any time without notice.
You automatically hereby grant and assign to DGD, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant and assign to DGD, a perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, fully paid, fully sub-licensable (through multiple tiers), worldwide license to copy, perform, display, distribute, prepare derivative works from (including, without limitation, incorporating into other works) and otherwise use any content that you post. You also expressly grant and assign to DGD all rights and causes of action to prohibit and enforce against any unauthorized copying, performance, display, distribution, use or exploitation of, or creation of derivative works from, any content that you post (including but not limited to any unauthorized downloading, extraction, harvesting, collection or aggregation of content that you post).
You hereby release DGD and each of the DGD Representatives, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, predecessors, assigns, heirs, service providers and suppliers, from all claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, direct and indirect, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to DGD or content accessed through DGD, or any interactions with others arising out of or related to DGD or content accessed through DGD, and you expressly waive the provisions of any laws in other jurisdictions), which substantially provides the equivalent of the following: “A general release does not extend to claims which the releasor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the released party.”
THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
These TOU constitute the entire agreement between you and DGD and supersede any prior written or oral agreement. Other than the DGD owners, agents, employees, directors, officers, affiliates and successors (collectively, the “DGD Representatives”) (who are expressly included as named third-party beneficiaries of the TOU), there are no third-party beneficiaries to the TOU.
Any and all claims, causes of action or disputes (regardless of theory) between you and DGD arising out of or related to the TOU, DGD or content accessed through DGD,shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania as it applies to contracts executed and performed within the State of Pennsylvania by parties domiciled in the State of Pennsylvania, without reference or regard to the choice of law or conflict of laws rules of any jurisdiction. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to submit any legal action or proceeding relating to this TOU to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Pennsylvania located in Franklin County and the courts of the United States located in the Western District of Pennsylvania and, in any such action or proceeding, consent to jurisdiction in such courts and waive any objection to the venue in any such court. You agree that service of process upon you in any such action or proceeding may be made by United States mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. If any provision of the TOU is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, it shall be modified by such court to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the fullest extent of the law; or if not possible, severed here from, provided, however, that in any event, all other provisions of the TOU shall remain in full force and effect.
DGD may disclose your information (as permitted or required to by law) to a government institution or other person or entity that has asserted their lawful authority to obtain the information or where DGD has reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful in the investigation of an unlawful activity. This requested information shall only be provided in order to comply with a subpoena or warrant or an order made by a court to comply with court rules regarding the production of such records and information as required, and to DGD legal counsel.
