If at any time, Company chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the content, Company nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the content, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate content, and no responsibility for the conduct of the User submitting any such content.
User Content
The Site may permit the submission and posting of questions and answers and may also permit the submission and posting of other text, messages, and/or other content submitted by you and other users (all of the foregoing, collectively, “User Submissions”), and the hosting, sharing, and/or publishing of such User Submissions. You understand that whether or not such User Submissions are published, the Company does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any User Submissions. You acknowledge that you shall not be due any remuneration in connection with your User Submissions from the Company or from any other User.
You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with your User Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that: (i) your submission of User Submissions and the publication and use thereof by the Company does not violate the copyrights, trade secrets rights or other intellectual property rights of any third party, nor shall it constitute or result in a breach of any duty or obligation of confidentiality owed by you to any third party, and (ii) you have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual person in the User Submission to use the name or likeness of each and every such identifiable individual person to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Company and this Agreement.
By submitting User Submissions to the Site, you hereby grant to the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute and exploit such User Submission in any manner and in any form of media, whether currently or hereafter existing. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary right, title and interest in and to each such User Submission to validly grant such license to the Company.
In connection with User Submissions and any other transmission of messages or material facilitated by the Site, you further agree that you will not: (i) submit or transmit material that is not authorized by the copyright owner, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post the material and grant the rights granted to the Company in the paragraph above; (ii) publish or transmit falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage the Company or any third party; (iii) submit or transmit material that is unlawful, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law or is otherwise inappropriate; (iv) post or transmit advertisements or solicitations of business; or (v) impersonate another person. If notified by a user or a content owner of a User Submission that allegedly does not conform to this Agreement, the Company may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and in its sole discretion whether to remove the User Submission, which it reserves the right to do at any time. Additionally, the Company may, at any time, remove any User Submission that in the sole judgment of the Company violates this Agreement.
User Submissions may be provided by (without limitation) Users who are Syndicators, contacts referred by Syndicators (including without limitation Investee Entities, their customers, scientific advisors, background references, suppliers and distributors), accredited investors who are Users of the Propel(x) platform, and external experts referred by the Company. The insights, recommendations, views and other content reflected in a User Submission should be taken as opinion rather than statements of facts. Investors should conduct their own diligence before making an investment. Nothing contained in a User Submission constitutes tax, legal, insurance or investment advice, or the recommendation of or an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or invest in, any investment product, vehicle, service or instrument. Such an offer or solicitation may only be made by delivery to a prospective investor of formal offering materials, including subscription or account documents or form, which should be reviewed carefully by any such investor before making the decision to invest in any particular company issuer listed, reviewed or discussed on the Propel(x) platform. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, you hereby release Propel(x) (and our officers, directors, agents, investors, subsidiaries, and employees) and each other User from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses or damages (whether direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or otherwise) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or in any way related to User Submissions (including your reliance thereon). You acknowledge that, in connection with the foregoing release, you hereby irrevocably waive all rights granted to you under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any analogous applicable state or federal law or regulation. Said Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California reads as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims which 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.”
