User Content and Submissions

You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, advertisements, messages or other materials submitted, posted or displayed by a User on or through any Site (“User Content”) is the sole responsibility of the person from which such User Content originated. Draper and Kramer claims no ownership or control over any User Content.

Subject to the foregoing, the owner of such User Content placed on any Site retains any and all rights that may exist in such User Content. Draper and Kramer acts as a passive conduit for the online distribution and publication of User Content and has no obligation to screen User Content, communications or information in advance and is not responsible for screening or monitoring User Content posted by Users. However, Draper and Kramer may review and remove any User Content that, in its sole judgment, violates these Terms and Conditions, violates applicable laws, rules or regulations, is abusive, disruptive, offensive or illegal, or violates the rights of, or harms or threatens the safety of, users. Draper and Kramer reserves the right to expel Users and prevent their further access to the Sites and/or use of the Services for violating the Terms and Conditions or applicable laws, rules or regulations. Draper and Kramer may take any action with respect to User Content that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if it believes that such User Content could create liability for Draper and Kramer, damage Draper and Kramer’s brand or public image, or cause Draper and Kramer to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs or other suppliers. Draper and Kramer does not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of User Content or any other communications posted by users or endorse any opinions expressed by users.

Policy Regarding Termination of Users Who Infringe the Copyright or Other Intellectual Property Rights of Others

Draper and Kramer, and all of its affiliated companies respect the intellectual property of others, and Draper and Kramer asks Users and content partners to do the same. The unauthorized posting, reproduction, copying, distribution, modification, public display or public performance of copyrighted works constitutes infringement of the copyright owner’s rights. As a condition to your use of the Sites, you agree not to use any Site to infringe the intellectual property rights of others in any way. Draper and Kramer may terminate the accounts of any User, and block access to the Sites of any User who infringes the copyrights, or other intellectual property rights, of others. Draper and Kramer reserves the right to take these actions at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, and without any liability to the User who is terminated or to the User whose access is blocked.

Draper and Kramer’s Liability

Draper and Kramer does not screen or censor the Profiles or User Content on the Sites. Draper and Kramer is not involved in the actual communications between Draper and Kramer users. As a result, Draper and Kramer has no control over the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the Profiles or User Content submitted on the Sites and makes no representations about any Profile or User Content on the Sites. In addition, note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other users with whom you come in contact through the Sites. By its very nature, other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, Draper and Kramer cannot and does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behavior of participants on any Site, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release Draper and Kramer (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

Events Beyond Draper and Kramer’s Control

You expressly absolve and release Draper and Kramer from any claim of harm resulting from a cause beyond Draper and Kramer’s control, including, but not limited to, the failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, computer viruses, unauthorized access, theft, operator errors, severe weather, earthquakes, or natural disasters, strikes or other labor problems, wars, or governmental restrictions.

DISCLAIMERS

WHILE DRAPER AND KRAMER ENDEAVORS TO PROVIDE THE MOST ACCURATE, UP-TO-DATE MATERIALS AVAILABLE, THE INFORMATION, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE MAY INCLUDE INACCURACIES OR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE QUALITY OF THE INFORMATION, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT. MOREOVER, DRAPER AND KRAMER MAY MAKE MODIFICATIONS AND/OR CHANGES IN THIS SITE OR IN THE INFORMATION, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES DESCRIBED IN THIS SITE AT ANY TIME, FOR ANY REASON.

ALL SUCH INFORMATION, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY A USER FROM DRAPER AND KRAMER THROUGH OR FROM ANY OF THE SITES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FORM, CONTENT AND ACCURACY OF ANY MATERIAL CONTAINED THEREIN PLACED BY YOU ON THE SITES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL DRAPER AND KRAMER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THIS SITE OR WITH THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THIS SITE, OR FOR ANY INFORMATION, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH THIS SITE, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE UTILIZATION OF THIS SITE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF DRAPER AND KRAMER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, TOTAL LIABILITY FOR DRAPER AND KRAMER FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER RELATED TO USE OF THIS SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $100 US DOLLARS.

Submissions

Draper and Kramer also welcomes your feedback and suggestions about how to improve this Site. Any ideas, suggestions, information, know-how, material, or any other content (collectively, “Submissions”) received through this Site, however, will be deemed to include a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and license for Draper and Kramer to, in whole or in part, adopt, publish, reproduce, disseminate, transmit, distribute, copy, use, create derivative works, display, or act on such Submissions without additional approval or consideration, in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such Submissions.

Even after you are no longer a User of the Sites, certain provisions of these Terms and Conditions will remain in effect.

Waiver
