All Content and intellectual property rights therein are the property of Melissa Goldsmith PhD, LLC or its licensors.

The presence of any Content on this Site does not constitute a waiver of any right in such Content. You do not acquire ownership rights to any such Content viewed through this Site.

Responsibility for User-Generated Content Posted on or Through this Site

You are responsible for all text, photographs, images, illustrations, graphics, sounds, video and audio-video clips, and other content you may post using any account or social networking tools we may make available to you (“User-Generated Content” or “UGC”). UGC does not constitute “Feedback.” The term “Feedback” refers to the Content you post on or through this Site that is specifically about how we can improve this Site and the products and services we make available through this Site.

Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any UGC. This means that you, not Melissa Goldsmith PhD, LLC, are entirely responsible for any and all UGC that you post and that you can be held personally liable for comments that are defamatory, obscene, or libelous, or that violate these Terms of Use, an obligation of confidentiality, or the rights of others. If any part of the UGC you post is not your original work, it is your responsibility to obtain any necessary permission to post it.

Because we do not control any UGC posted on or through this Site, we cannot and do not warrant or guarantee the truthfulness, integrity, suitability, or quality of that UGC. You also agree and understand that by accessing this Site, you may encounter UGC that you may consider to be objectionable. We have no responsibility for any UGC, including without limitation any errors or omissions therein. We are not liable for any loss or damage of any kind you may claim was incurred as a result of the use of any UGC posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available on or through this Site. The UGC posted on or through this Site expresses the personal opinions of the individuals who posted it and does not necessarily reflect the views of Melissa Goldsmith PhD, LLC or any person or entity associated with Melissa Goldsmith PhD, LLC.

However, by using this Site you are granting us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns, a nonexclusive, fully paid, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully transferable license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, distribute, publicly display and perform, publish, transmit, remove, retain repurpose, and commercialize UGC you post in any and all means, method, or medium now existing or hereafter developed, without obtaining additional consent, without restriction, notification, or attribution, and without compensating you in any way, and to authorize others to do the same.

This means that under this license, you have no further right to control how Melissa Goldsmith PhD, LLC or its affiliates use the content you have provided, regardless of how Melissa Goldsmith PhD, LLC chooses to use that content, in whatever form, in whatever medium, for whatever purpose, forever.

terminate your access to and use of this Site, or to modify, edit or block your transmissions thereto in our sole discretion.
You agree that our exercise of such discretion shall not render us the owners of UGC you post, and that you will retain ownership thereof as described above.

any UGC that constitutes or encourages activity illegal under any local, state, national or international law, rule or regulation;

any UGC that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information or proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);
any UGC that contains the image, name or likeness of anyone other than yourself, unless (i) that person is at least eighteen years old and you have first obtained his/her express permission or (ii) that person is under eighteen years old but you are his/her parent or legal guardian;
any request for or solicitation of any personal or private information from any individual;
any request for or solicitation of money, goods, or services for private gain;
