A. The Shoplinkz Website may now or in the future permit the submission of text, images, audio, videos, interactive or other communications submitted by you and other users ("User Submissions") and the hosting, sharing, and/or publishing of such User Submissions.

C. In connection with User Submissions, you further agree that you will not:

(ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage Shoplinkz or any third party;
(iii) submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate;
(iv) post advertisements or solicitations of business:
(v) impersonate another person. Shoplinkz does not endorse any User Submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and Shoplinkz expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Submissions.

Shoplinkz reserves the right to remove Content and User Submissions without prior notice. Shoplinkz will also terminate a User's access to its Website, if they are determined to be a repeat infringer. A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had a User Submission removed from the Website more than twice. Shoplinkz also reserves the right to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to, pornography, obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length. Shoplinkz may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a User's access for uploading such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion.

D. In particular, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any User Submission or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit Shoplinkz to locate the material;
(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit Shoplinkz to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;
(v) A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

10. User Focus Groups

By participating in Shoplinkz focus groups and answering questionnaires, you are hereby agreeing to the following Shoplinkz User Focus Group Terms. The User agrees that all Confidential Information shall remain the property of Shoplinkz, LLC, and that Shoplinkz, LLC may use such Confidential Information for any purpose without obligation to the User. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting or implying any transfer of rights to the User in the Confidential Information, or any patents or other intellectual property protecting or relating to the Confidential Information. All documents used with Users in Focus Groups serve as a guide and questionnaire to conducting a focus group in the hopes of obtaining user feedback and information to support recommended adjustments to the identified system or Web site.

Focus groups are increasingly used by companies to obtain research data and to gather opinions about their perceived products and quality of a service. Part of the advantage of conducting this kind of testing on the Web site would be to determine whether or not users have difficulty completing the process, and whether or not the paths and scenarios are easily understood. Focus group testing is especially useful for exploring the attitudes and experiences associated with the types of offers currently available, as well as their presentation.

11. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Shoplinkz, its parent corporation, officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Shoplinkz Website; (ii) your violation of any term of these Terms of Service; (iii) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (iv) any claim that one of your User Submissions caused damage to a third party. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms of Service and your use of the Shoplinkz Website.

12. Ability to Accept Terms of Service

You affirm that you are either more than 18 years of age, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms of Service, and to abide by and comply with these Terms of Service.
