Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve sole discretion and right to deny, revoke, or limit use of this Site, including the reproduction and any other use of any material available through this Site.

Code of Conduct. You agree that you will not individually, or as part of any collective effort, submit or post information to this Site that could be deemed harmful or offensive to other users, nor will you impersonate another user in order to hide your identity or to implicate another in such actions. You further agree to do nothing that might disrupt the flow of data to and from this Site, impact the service or performance of this Site, or circumvent any of the controls or usage rules that we have implemented.

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, we assume no responsibility and we assume no liability for any User Content that you or any other user or third-party posts on this Site. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for the online display of your (and others') User Content.

User Content License Grant. By posting any User Content on this Site, including, without limitation, your or another’s name, likeness, logo, tradename, trademark, service mark, or copyrighted materials, you expressly grant to us, and you hereby represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant to us, a royalty free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, and worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, transmit, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such User Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media, or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for use in connection with this Site.

No Control Over Third Parties. No service opportunities, meetings, events, organizations, or individuals listed on this Site are controlled by us, and individuals participating with such do so at their own risk.

Remember, this Site is just a platform that enables you to communicate and interact with other people and organizations in your community and around the world. We cannot be responsible for the interactions that you have with other individuals on, through, or as a result of your use of this Site, so please use good judgment and keep safety in mind when you use this Site.

Because this Site is merely a platform, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more persons or organizations, you release us (and our officers, directors, members, employees, agents, volunteers, and affiliates) from all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) 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.

Linking. For your convenience, this Site may contain links to websites operated by others. Those third-party websites are not maintained or controlled by us, and we are not responsible for their content. Although we have made a good-faith effort to link only to tasteful and appropriate websites, some may contain inappropriate or objectionable material. If you find such material while using a website that you accessed through a link on this Site, please notify us immediately.

We do not control, endorse, or adopt any third-party content and shall have no responsibility for the same, including, without limitation, material that may be misleading, incomplete, erroneous, offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable. You must evaluate and bear all risks associated with third party content.

We believe that those who make information available on the Internet expect that it will be publicly and widely available. Therefore, we believe that linking to other websites is legally permissible and consistent with the expectations of those who use the Internet. However, if access to a particular website should be restricted, the operator of such website should promptly notify us.

Jurisdiction and Applicable Law.

Any action you bring to enforce these Terms of Use or any matters related to this Site shall be brought in state or federal courts located in Pennsylvania, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any such action, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. If any provision of these Terms of Use is unlawful, void, or unenforceable in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall not be affected, unless we determine that the invalid or unenforceable provision is an essential term, in which case we may at our sole discretion amend these Terms of Use.

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, we are not liable for any direct, special, or consequential damages, or any other damages of any kind, resulting from or arising out of your use of, or your inability to use, this Site or any linked website or the services provided or arranged through this Site, including, but not limited to, personal injury claims, lost wages, property damage, lost profits, business interruption, and loss of programs or other data on your information handling system.
