15. BY USING THE SITE, THE CONTENT OR THE SERVICES, USER IS AGREEING THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL SOCIETY OR ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, PARTNERS OR AFFILIATES BE RESPONSIBLE FOR (I) ANY INFORMATION (REGARDLESS IF PROVIDED OR OMITTED BY SOCIETY, ITS PARTNERS, OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES (INCLUDING OTHER USERS)) CONTAINED IN, DISPLAYED ON OR OMITTED FROM THE SITE; (II) ANY PERSON'S RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PROVIDED BY SOCIETY, ITS PARTNERS, OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES (INCLUDING OTHER USERS) OR SERVICES, WHETHER OR NOT THE CONTENT OR SERVICES ARE CORRECT (OR ADEQUATELY PERFORMED), CURRENT OR COMPLETE; (III) THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY ACTION USER OR ANY OTHER PERSON TAKES OR FAILS TO TAKE BASED ON THE CONTENT OR SERVICES BY OR AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THE SITE; (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF USER’S TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA, OR (V) THE LOSS OF ANY PERSONAL DATA THROUGH THE SITE, OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY ITEM BOUGHT OR SOLD THROUGH THE SITE.

These limitations apply among other things to any third-party claims against SOCIETY. The provisions of Sections 14-16 represent a reasonable allocation of the risks under this Agreement.

Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of any section. If any part of this Agreement is deemed invalid or void, that part of the Agreement shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the remaining conditions.

It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated or if the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) requirements have been met. We may request additional information before we remove any infringing material. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material pending resolution of the matter. We will terminate the accounts of users that we determine are repeat infringers.

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act any person who makes false claims that material or an activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages.
