If any court determines that Oliver does not retain exclusive ownership of any such Postings, then Oliver retains a non-exclusive license in them. Any Postings on the Oliver public message boards may be quoted on the McLaughlin Group program, McLaughlin One On One, or any Oliver publication or broadcast without notice.
• Oliver may, for any reason, excerpt, use, distribute, publish, display or sell these Postings in any way, with no liability and you waive all moral rights in this material. [Note: "moral rights" is a legal term in intellectual property law.]

You further agree and warrant that none of your communications with or through the Site or Oliver's use of such communications, as described above, will infringe upon the rights of any third party, or contain defamatory, libelous, abusive, harassing, indecent or obscene material.
• Messages or postings that Site administrators determine do not add to a debate or discussion, or that contain offensive text, may be removed without notice.

• Oliver notes that it does not control and is not responsible for messages, information or files ("user messages") delivered to bulletin boards, chat rooms, forums or any other interactive component of the Site ("interactive services"). Oliver is not obligated to and does not systematically monitor or delete user messages. However, Oliver reserves the right to do so at any time in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason.
• Oliver does not edit user messages posted on its Web page, except that Oliver may delete as described above, or excerpt for any reason a portion or portions of such user messages for use elsewhere, including on Oliver's on-air productions. These activities do not impose any responsibility or liability on Oliver for damages arising from user messages or from Oliver's alteration of such messages. You are solely responsible for the content of the user messages you deliver to the Site, as are all other users. Oliver is not responsible for damages of any kind arising from any user message even when Oliver is advised of the possibility of such damages.

• You agree and warrant that you will not: (1) deliver any unlawful (according to local, state, federal, or foreign law), defamatory, obscene, indecent, threatening or abusive user message to or through the Site; (2) deliver any user message that infringes or violates any right of a third party, including, without limitation, copyright, patent, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights, to or through the Site; (3) introduce any program that will collect or relay information of any type from other users, interfere with the use of the Site or other users' computer equipment, or cause damage of any type to or through the Site; or (4) otherwise cause damage or exploit information for commercial purposes on or through the Site.
• You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Oliver, its subsidiaries, parent companies and affiliates, from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your breach of any provision of this Agreement or any warranty you provide herein, or otherwise arising in any way out of any material or information you post to or communication through the Site. You will cooperate fully in any defense of such claim. Oliver reserves the right to take exclusive control of the defense of any such claim.

You hereby acknowledge that you rely on any financial or securities information received on or through the Site at your own risk.

• Access to and use of the Site is currently available without charge. Oliver reserves the right to charge a fee for access to the Site, use of the Site, or access to or use of parts of the Site or services available on the Site at any time in the future.

• All registration records and such information gleaned from your use of the Site and communications with or through the Site, if any, are the property of Oliver.

• This Agreement is effective until Oliver terminates it.
• If Oliver determines, in its sole discretion, that you have not complied with any part of this Agreement, it may terminate your access to the Site and any services provided by the Site without prior notice. Such action removes your authorization to access or use the Site, and requires you to destroy all electronic or other materials and copies of such materials obtained from the Site, but you will still be bound by the agreements and warranties made by you, and by the disclaimers and limitations of liability contained in the Agreement.

• This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
