Any content uploaded, posted, submitted, or otherwise made available by individual users of the Sites, including without limitation blog comments, message board posts, and any other content which does not originate with the Company ("User Content"), is the sole responsibility of the person who made such User Content available on the Sites. Under no circumstances will the Company be liable in any way for any User Content made available through this Sites by you or any third party.

The Company reserves the right (but has no obligation) in its sole discretion to pre-screen, edit, refuse, move or remove any User Content that is posted on the Sites. You agree that the exercise by the Company of such discretion shall not convert or transform User Content to content owned or provided by the Company, and the user who made such User Content available on the Sites will retain ownership thereof as described below.
