by law.
III. CONTENT
A. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
User acknowledges that micropigmentation.org contains information,
data, software, photographs, graphs, videos, typefaces, graphics,
music, sounds, and other material (collectively "Content")
that are protected by copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or
other proprietary rights, and that these rights are valid and protected
in all forms, media and technologies existing now or hereinafter
developed. All Content is copyrighted as a collective work under
the U.S. copyright laws, and micropigmentation.org owns a copyright
in the selection, coordination, arrangement, and enhancement of
such Content. User may not modify, remove, delete, augment, add
to, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, create
derivative works from, or in any way exploit any of the Content,
in whole or in part. If no specific restrictions are displayed,
Users may make copies of select portions of the Content, provided
that the copies are made only for User's personal use and that User
maintains any notices contained in the Content, such as all copyright
notices, trademark legends, or other proprietary rights notices.
Except as provided in the preceding sentence or as permitted by
the fair use privilege under the U.S. copyright laws (see e.g. 17
U.S.C. Section 107), User may not upload, post, reproduce, or distribute
in any way Content protected by copyright, or other proprietary
right, without obtaining permission of the owner of the copyright
or other propriety right. In addition to the foregoing, use of any
software Content shall be governed by the software license agreement
accompanying such software.
B. DISTRIBUTION/UPLOADING OF THIRD PARTY CONTENT
Except as set forth in Section III a. above, User may upload to
or otherwise distribute on micropigmentation.org only Content that
is not subject to any copyright or other proprietary rights protection
(collectively, "Public Content"), or Content in which
the author has given express authorization for distribution on the
World Wide Web. Any copyrighted or other proprietary Content distributed
with the consent of a copyright owner should contain a phrase such
as "Copyright, owned by [name of owner]; used by permission."
The unauthorized submission or distribution of copyrighted or other
proprietary Content is illegal and could subject the User to criminal
prosecution as well as personal liability for damages in a civil
suit. User, not micropigmentation.org, nor its affiliates, nor any
of its officers, directors, employees, agents, Merchants, Providers,
Sponsors, Licensers, or the like, will be liable for any damage
resulting from any infringement of copyrights or proprietary rights,
or from any other harm arising from such submission. By submitting
Content to any User-submit areas, User automatically grants, or
warrants that the owner of such Content has expressly granted micropigmentation.org
the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and
license to use, reproduce, publish, translate, sublicense, copy,
and distribute the Content in whole or in part worldwide and/or
to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology
now known or hereafter developed for the full term of any copyright
that may exist in such Content. User also permits any other User
to access, store, or reproduce the Content for that User's personal
use. Subject to this grant, the owner of Content placed on micropigmentation.org
retains any and all rights which may exist in such Content.
C. THIRD PARTY CONTENT
micropigmentation.org is also distributor and not a publisher or
producer of Content supplied by third parties and Users. micropigmentation.org
has no more editorial control over such Content than does a public
library or newsstand. Any opinions, advice, statements, services,
offers, or other information that constitutes part of Content expressed
or made available by third parties, including Providers, Merchants,
Sponsors, Licensers, or any other User of micropigmentation.org,
are those of the respective authors or distributors and not of micropigmentation.org
or its affiliates or any of its officers, directors, employees,
or agents. Neither micropigmentation.org nor its affiliates, nor
any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents, nor any third
party, including any Provider, Merchant, Sponsor, Licenser, or any
other User of micropigmentation.org, guarantees the accuracy, completeness,
or usefulness of any Content, nor its merchantability or fitness
for any particular purpose. In many instances, the Content available
through micropigmentation.org represents the opinions and judgments
of the respective Provider, Merchant, Sponsor, Licenser, or User
not under contract with micropigmentation.org. micropigmentation.org
neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability
of any opinion, advice, or statement made on micropigmentation.org
by anyone other than authorized micropigmentation.org employees.

of User to evaluate the information, opinion, advice, or other Content
available through micropigmentation.org.

destination in violation of such laws.

micropigmentation.org is not responsible for screening,
policing, editing, or monitoring such Content. If notified of allegedly
