INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Rules Governing User Content: In consideration for being allowed to post or contribute User Content, you agree that your failure to abide by the following rules in using the Properties shall constitute a material breach of these Terms of Use.

• Do not provide User Content that is harmful to minors in any way.

TERMINATION OF PRIVILEGES

We reserve the right to deny, suspend, or terminate access to the Properties or any features of the Properties to anyone who violates these Terms of Use or who, in our sole judgment, interferes with the ability of others to enjoy the Properties or infringes the rights of others or for any other reason to be determined in our sole discretion.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE
With the exception of a Claim qualifying for, and filed in, small claims court, any Claim will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Dallas County, Texas, and the Parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and agree that it is a convenient forum and that they will not seek to transfer such Claim to any other forum or jurisdiction under the doctrine of forum non conveniens or otherwise.
