Users are asked not to post or transmit offensive or inaccurate material, and to keep in mind that the pages of ITV may be viewed by children. Nonetheless, you understand that by using ITV pages, you may be exposed to content that is offensive, inaccurate, indecent, or objectionable. Under no circumstances will ITV, its staff, or its service providers be held liable for any errors or omissions in any postings or pages, or for any loss or damages of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any information contained on ITV pages.

When using ITV services, you agree not to do any of the following:

post or transmit any message, information, data, text, or other materials ("Content") that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, pornographic, vulgar, obscene, libelous, that may be invasive of another's privacy, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;

upload or transmit any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party. By submitting Content to ITV, you automatically grant -- or warrant that the owner of such Content has expressly granted -- ITV the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such Content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed.

ITV and its designees shall have the right in their sole discretion to edit, refuse to post, or remove any Content posted on ITV and to move Content from one location to another within ITV. Without limiting the foregoing, ITV and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that is in violation of the provisions hereof or otherwise objectionable.

You agree to indemnify and hold ITV, its staff, and its service providers harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your violation of these terms and conditions or your violation of any rights of another.

About Copyrighted Information

Web pages, message boards, forums, profiles, and email messages sometimes contain material in which users share material they have copied electronically from other sources. Because there are thousands of possible sources spread out across the Internet (e.g., home pages, blogs, and bulletin boards), it is difficult for ITV to determine if anything posted within or transmitted through ITV content infringes on the copyright of another party. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify the ITV Webmaster immediately so the situation can be promptly addressed.

Privacy

ITV will take reasonable measures not to disclose information about you or the contents of your communications, other than Content that is already publicly available or accessible via ITV pages, unless it appears that such disclosure is reasonably necessary (a) to comply with the law; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to enforce these terms and conditions; (d) to respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; or (e) to protect the interests of ITV or others. ITV also reserves the right to examine any email, posting, or other Content suspected of violating the terms of the ITV User Policy. For additional information on privacy, please see the ITV Privacy Policy.

ITV and its users may post links to other web sites or resources. ITV is not responsible for the availability of such web sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources.

TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER ITV, ITS STAFF, NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ITV PAGES OR FEATURES, OR FOR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES OR RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN ITV PAGES, OR RESULTING FROM ALTERATION OR DELETION OF ANY INFORMATION, EVEN IF ITV HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Miscellaneous

These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Connecticut, excluding its conflict of law provisions. You and ITV agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the state of Connecticut. The failure of ITV to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms and conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these terms and conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the court should endeavor to give effect to the intention reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of ITV or these terms and conditions must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose. The section titles herein are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. ITV reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time and from time to time.

To Report Violations

If you become aware of any violations of these terms and conditions, please notify the ITV Webmaster as soon as possible. Although ITV cannot guarantee that action will be taken as a result of your notification, all feedback is welcome.
