3. User Conduct and Content
You understand that all information, data, text, comments, graphics, messages or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated. This means that you, and not Tangient LLC are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service.
You agree to not use the Service to:
a. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
b. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);
c. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights ("Rights") of any party;
d. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation;

h. intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national or international law;

j. collect or store personal data about other users.
You acknowledge that Tangient LLC may or may not pre-screen Content, but that Tangient LLC and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or move any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Tangient LLC and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the Terms of Service or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by Tangient LLC or submitted to the Service, including without limitation information in comments, and in all other parts of the Service.
4. Disclosure of Content and Personal Information
You acknowledge, consent and agree that Tangient LLC may access, preserve, and disclose your Content and any personal information if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the Terms of Service; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Tangient LLC, the users of the Service and the public.

6. Information Rights
Tangient LLC does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service. However, in order to provide you the Service and maintain the Service, with respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service, including without limitation page content and comments you post to the Service, you grant Tangient LLC world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty free, non-exclusive, fully sub-licensable license(s) to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, display, and translate, such Content (in whole or in part) solely in connection with the provision of the Service.
7. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Tangient LLC, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or make available through the Service, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of the Terms of Service, or your violation of any rights of another.

It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. For more information, see our full DMCA notice at http://www.wikispaces.com/DMCA .
17. Children's Privacy
This section is designed to answer your questions regarding our privacy policies and principles with respect to children under the age of 13. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that we inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age; and that we obtain the consent of parents and guardians in order for children under 13 years of age to use this Web site.
The only personally identifiable information that Wikispaces collects about you is your email address. In fact, you are not required to provide Wikispaces your email address in order to register as a user of Wikispaces. If you do provide us with your email address, then we will only use it to contact you about the Service. We do not disclose your email address to other users of Wikispaces or to any third-parties.
If you are under 13 years of age, then we will ask you for your parents' email address. On your reply we will send your parent an e-mail and then provide your parent 48 hours to refuse your registration as a Wikispaces user. If your parent refuses to allow your registration, then we will delete your information from our database. If we don't hear back from your parent, we assume it is acceptable for you to be registered as a Wikispaces user.
If you are a teacher or school, and you are creating accounts for persons under the age of 13, then Wikispaces is not required to obtain the consent directly from the parents because we presume that the teacher's or school's authorization for the collection of student's personal information is based on the school having obtained the parents' consent.
