Similarly, users of Third Party Sites may post or share Site Content and/or links to the Site on Third Party Sites. In such event, the Site and all Site Content posted on any Third Party Site will continue to be governed by the Terms of Use.

Some of the services or functionality accessible on the Site may be provided by third parties on Third Party Sites. In these cases, users who choose to access such services or functionality will be required to navigate away from the Site and to register on the Third Party Site. This registration is separate from any registration on the Site, and will be governed solely by the policies, terms and conditions of the Third Party Site, including privacy and data gathering policies. You acknowledge and agree that GGG has no liability for the services or functionality provided on such Third Party Sites, including without limitation the security of payment or other transactions, notwithstanding that in some instances such Third Party Sites may incorporate GGG trademarks, logos or other identifying materials.

Without limiting any other provision of these Terms of Use, you acknowledge and agree that GGG has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, practices, products or services of any Third Party Sites and Third Party Content contained on the Site, to which the Site is linked, or on which Site Content is posted. In addition, GGG will not and cannot investigate, monitor, censor or edit the content of any Third Party Sites or Third Party Content accessible through the Site or on which Site Content is posted. By using the Site and Service, you expressly release GGG from any and all liability arising from your use of, or access to any Third Party Sites or Third Party Content.

 

If you decide to leave the Site and access any Third Party Site or to use or install any Third Party Content, you do so at your own risk and you should be aware that our terms and policies will not govern your use of or actions on such Third Party Sites or Third Party Content. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third Party Site to which you navigate from the Site or relating to any Third Party Content you use or install from the Site.

 

From time to time we may post content on the Site at the request of a third-party that is created and/or owned by such third-parties.  Sometimes such third-party will pay GGG or give GGG other consideration for posting the content on the Site. When that happens, such content will be differentiated and labeled as “Sponsored.”

 

Release

As a convenience to users, the Site may offer a service to facilitate users’ being able to identify and locate opportunities for volunteer work with third party organizations. In offering this service, however, GGG does not endorse and makes no representations or warranties regarding any such third party organizations. GGG does not and has no duty to investigate the nature, safety, quality or integrity of any organization or of any volunteer opportunities that are offered.

If you participate in any such volunteer activities, you, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, next of kin, spouse, guardians, legal representatives, employees, executors, administrators, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), release and forever discharge GGG, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, successors and assigns, and the officers, director, employees, contractors, partners, shareholders, representatives, members and agents of all of them (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, liens, agreements, contracts, actions, suits, costs, attorneys’ fees, damages, judgments, orders and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden (collectively, the “Released Claims”) in any way directly or indirectly related to or arising directly or indirectly out of such activities. The Released Claims include those based on negligence of any of the Released Parties, products liability, personal injury, property damage or wrongful death.

 

You, on behalf of yourself and the other Releasing Parties, acknowledge that there is a possibility that subsequently to the date on which you are deemed to have accepted these Terms of Use, Releasing Parties will discover facts or incur or suffer claims that were unknown or unsuspected at the time these Terms of Use were deemed to have been accepted, which such claims if known at that time may have materially affected your acceptance of the Terms of Use. You and the other Releasing Parties acknowledge and agree that Releasing Parties are assuming any risk of such unknown facts and such unknown and unsuspected claims. Releasing Parties have been advised of the existence of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT 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.

 

Notwithstanding such provisions, this release shall constitute a full release in accordance with its terms. Releasing Parties knowingly and voluntarily waive the provisions of Section 1542, as well as any other statute, law, or rule of similar effect in any jurisdiction.

If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content so that they may make a counter-notification.

Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights.

Counter-notice:

If you believe the User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the such User Content, you may submit a counter-notice to the address listed above containing the following information:

 

  • 1.    Your physical or electronic signature;

  • 4.    Your name, physical address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Los Angeles, California, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

 

After we receive your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement. Please note that when we forward the counter-notification, it includes your personal information. By submitting a counter-notification, you consent to having your information revealed in this way. We will not forward the counter-notification to any party other than the original claimant.

 

After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within 10 days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to User Content that was removed or disabled. If we receive such notification we will be unable to restore the material. If we do not receive such notification, we may reinstate the material.

 

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.  Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of users who are repeat infringers. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.
