Reliance On Information Posted

  • Commentary and other materials posted on our site are not intended to amount to advice on which reliance should be placed. We therefore disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any visitor to our site, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

User Generated Content

  • Our sites may include discussion forums and blogs that allow interaction between users and between users and our staff (we call these “Forums”). We call the information posted to these forums or blogs by users “User Generated Content” or “UGC”.
  • If you wish to view or participate in a Forum then you must comply with any specific rules posted on the Forum. You will retain ownership of the copyright in any of your UGC that you or we publish on our site so you are free to re-use it as you wish.
  • You agree that if you post UGC to a Forum then you are granting us a right (but not an obligation) unlimited in time to publish, re-use, archive, modify, delete or commercially exploit that UGC in whole or in part as we see fit, whether on our site or otherwise, without any requirement to pay you for this and with or without attribution to you. This means that you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use any UGC you publish in whole or in part in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever and without further obligation to you. You also waive any moral rights that you may have in regard to the UGC.
  • You are responsible for all the content of any of your UGC that you or we publish. You are financially responsible to us for any claim against us by any third party that your UGC is not in accordance with the bullet points below or that otherwise relates to your UGC.
  • You agree that you will:
    • Only publish UGC that is your original content and will not infringe the copyright or other rights of any third party when publishing UGC.
    • Not post, link to or otherwise publish any UGC containing any form of advertising or promotion for goods and services or any spam or other form of unsolicited communication.
    • Not post, link to or otherwise publish any UGC with recommendations to buy or not buy a particular share or other investment or which contain confidential information of another party or which otherwise have the purpose of affecting the price or value of any share or other investment.
    • Not post, link to or otherwise publish any UGC that is threatening, abusive, libelous, indecent or otherwise unlawful.
    • Not disguise the origin of any UGC and not impersonate any person or entity (including our employees or Forum guests or hosts) or misrepresent any connection with any person or entity.
    • Not post or otherwise publish any UGC unrelated to the Forum or the Forum’s topic.
    • Not post or transmit any UGC that contains software viruses, files or code designed to interrupt,
    • Destroy or limit the functionality of our site or any computer software or equipment.
    • Not collect or store other users’ personal data.
    • Not restrict or inhibit any other user from using the Forums.
  • The Forums contain UGC submitted by users over whom we have no control so we cannot therefore guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any UGC. Some users may not behave properly and may post UGC that is misleading, untrue or offensive.
  • It is not possible for us to fully monitor all UGC published on our sites but where we have actually received notice of any UGC that is potentially misleading, untrue, offensive, unlawful, infringes third part rights or is potentially in breach of these terms and conditions, then we will review that UGC, decide whether to remove it from our site and act accordingly.
  • If you believe that any UGC published on our site infringes any legal rights that you may have or is not allowed under these terms and conditions, please notify us immediately with specific details by contacting us at custserv@mannatech.com.au.
