SUBMISSIONS
We are pleased to hear from our users and welcome your comments regarding our product
s and services. If, you send certain specific submissions
(e.g., postings to chat, boards, or contests) or you send us
creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other information
(collectively, the "Submissions"), the Submissions shall be deemed, and
shall remain, our property. None of the Submissions shall be subject to
any obligation of confidence on our part and we shall not be liable for
any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Without limitation of the foregoing,
we shall exclusively own all now known or hereafter existing rights to the

FORUMS AND PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
"Forum" means a chat area, message board, or e-mail function offered as part
of any MOPRODS Site. If you participate in any Forum within a MOPRODS Site,
you must not:
- defame, abuse, harass or threaten others;
- make any bigoted, hateful or racially offensive
statements;
- advocate illegal activity or discuss illegal
activities with the intent to commit them;
- post or distribute any material that infringes and/or
violates any right of a third party or any law;

indecent language or images;
- advertise or sell to, or solicit others;

- post or distribute any software or other materials which

- post material or make statements that do
not generally pertain to the designated topic or theme of any
chat room or bulletin board.
It is our policy to respect the privacy of all customers.
Therefore, in addition to the privacy of Registration data (see our Privacy Policy),
we will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a customer's e-mail unless (
a) you authorize us to do so, (b) we must do so in order to resolve technical
problems on any MOPRODS Site; or (c) unless required to do so by law or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or
comply with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or
property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect the safety of our customers or
the public. Customers shall remain solely responsible for the content of their
messages.
We reserve the right to remove or edit content from any Forum
at any time and for any reason.
By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us, you
automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such materials expressly
granted) us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and
license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform
and display, create derivative works from and distribute such materials or
incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology now known or
later developed throughout the universe. In addition, you warrant that all
so-called "moral rights" in those materials have been waived.
When participating in a Forum, never assume that people are who
the say they are, know what they say they know, or are affiliated with whom they
say they are affiliated with in any chat room, message board, or other user
generated content area. Information obtained in a Forum may not be reliable,
and it is not a good idea to trade or make any investment decisions based
solely or largely on information you cannot confirm. We cannot be responsible
for the content or accuracy of any information, and shall not be responsible
for any trading or investment decisions made based on such information.
CONTENT LINKED TO ANY MOPRODS SITE
Please exercise discretion while browsing the Internet using any MOPRODS Site.
You should be aware that when you are on a MOPRODS Site,
you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control.
There are links to other sites from MOPRODS pages that take you outside
of our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement
or a search result, the "click" may take you off the MOPRODS Site.
This includes links from advertisers, sponsors, and content partners
that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement.
These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data,
solicit personal information, or contain information that you may find
inappropriate or offensive. In addition, advertisers on MOPRODS Sites
may send cookies to users that we do not control.
We reserve the right to disable links from third party sites to
any MOPRODS Site.
We make no representations concerning the content of sites
listed in any of our directories. Consequently, we cannot be held responsible
for the accuracy, relevancy, copyright compliance, legality or decency of material
contained in sites listed in our search results or otherwise linked to a MOPRODSS Site.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal
information online --- for example, via message boards or chat --- that information
can be collected and used by people you don't know. While MOPRODS strives to protect
your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any
information you disclose online; you make such disclosures at your own risk.
DISCLAIMER
THE MATERIALS

REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE

RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR, OR CORRECTION. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED

We explicitly disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy,
content, or availability of information found on sites that link to or from a
ny MOPRODS Site. We cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or
services that you purchase from a third-party site that links to or from any
MOPRODS Site or third party content on our sites. We do not endorse any of the
merchandise, nor have we taken any steps to confirm the accuracy or reliability of,
any of the information contained in such third-party sites or content.

such sites and third party content. We strongly encourage you to make
whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding
with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties.
Search and Directory are free services offered by us.
Because the Web changes constantly, no search engine technology can
possibly have all accessible sites at any given time. Thus, we explicitly
disclaim any responsibility for the content or availability of information
contained in our search index or directories.
CREDIT CARDS
MOPRODS takes the issue of your privacy seriously.
We provide your credit card number, billing and shipping information to
participating merchants from whom you buy goods or services.
The merchants are solely responsible for how they use that
information and any other information they independently
acquire from you or about you. Otherwise, we do not share
your credit card information with anyone else.
To protect the security of your credit card information,
we employ the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
We also encrypt your credit card number when we store your order and
whenever we transfer that information to participating merchants.

connection with any claim arising out of any breach by you of this Agreement or

with us in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right, at our own expense,
to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to
indemnification by you.

EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY
NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL

SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION
(WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE)
EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING ANY MOPRODS SITE.
