integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by

the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise
made available via the Service.

f. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any
Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret,
copyright or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party;

foregoing, MultiMedia and its designees shall have the right to
remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise
objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all
risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any
reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such
Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely
on any Content created by MultiMedia or submitted to MultiMedia,
including without limitation information in MultiMedia Message
Boards, MultiMedia Clubs, and in all other parts of the Service.
You acknowledge and agree that MultiMedia may preserve Content
and may also disclose Content if required to do so by law or in
the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is
reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b)
enforce the TOS; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates
the rights of third-parties; or (d) protect the rights,
property, or personal safety of MultiMedia, its users and the

24. GENERAL INFORMATION
The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and
MultiMedia and govern your use of the Service, superceding any
prior agreements between you and MultiMedia. You also may be
subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when
you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party
software. The TOS and the relationship between you and
MultiMedia shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You
and MultiMedia agree to submit to the personal and exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts located within Romania and
considering the international laws. The failure of MultiMedia to
exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision
of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should
endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected
in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in
full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute
or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out
of or related to use of the Service or the TOS must be filed
within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or
be forever barred.
The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have
no legal or contractual effect.
