Company

Content or Third Party Applications, Software or Content shared through

Use of Share Links by Online Content Providers
Subject
to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, Third Party Sites
that meet the requirements set forth below may place a Share Link (as
described below), in the form approved by Company, on pages of their
web sites to facilitate use of the Share Service. A Third Party Site
that posts a Share Link on its web site is referred to herein as an
"Online Content Provider" and shall abide and be subject to the
applicable sections of these Terms of Use. A "Share Link" is a button
and/or a text link appearing on an Online Content Provider's web page
that, upon being clicked by a user, enables us to launch a sharing
mechanism through which users can share with others or post to their
own member profile, links and content from that page.
In the
event that the Share Link is a button that contains any icons or other
graphic images, trademarks or other proprietary materials of the
Company, Online Content Provider is granted permission to use such
images, trademarks or other materials solely for the purpose of placing
the Share Link on Online Content Provider's site and solely in the
current form provided by the Company. In the event that the Share Link
is a text link, it must include the word "Facebook" as part of the
link. The rights granted in this paragraph may be revoked by Company at
any time with or without cause in its sole discretion, and upon such
termination, Online Content Provider agrees to immediately remove all
Share Links from its site.
In order for an Online Content
Provider to include a Share Link on its pages, the Third Party Site
must not contain any web content that if shared or posted by a user
would be a violation of the user conduct rules set forth above. Without
limiting the forgoing, Online Content Provider agrees not to post a
Share Link on any web site that contains, and represents and warrants
that such web site does not and will not contain, any content that is
infringing, harmful, threatening, unlawful, defamatory, abusive,
inflammatory, harassing, vulgar, obscene, lewd, fraudulent, or invasive
of privacy or publicity rights or that may expose Company or its users
to any harm or liability of any type. Upon including of a Share Link,
Online Content Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the
Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their directors,
officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from
and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in
connection with such Share Link, any links, content or other items or
materials which may be shared or posted through such Share Link, or any
breach or alleged breach of the foregoing representations and
warranties.
By including a Share Link, Online Content Provider
automatically grants, and represents and warrants that it has the right
to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive,
transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to
sublicense) to use the Share Service in order to link to, use, copy,
publish, stream, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat,
translate, excerpt (in whole or in part), summarize, and distribute the
content, links and other materials of any kind residing on any web
pages on which Online Content Provider places the Share Link.
Facebook Marketplace
All
listings posted on or through the Facebook Marketplace service and all
transactions conducted in connection therewith are subject to and
governed by the Facebook Marketplace Guidelines
(the "Guidelines") as well as these Terms of Use. When you use Facebook
Marketplace in any manner you are agreeing to abide by and be subject
to the Guidelines and the other applicable rules set forth in these
Terms of Use. The Guidelines are subject to change without prior notice
at any time, in the Company's sole discretion, so you should review the
Guidelines each time you use Facebook Marketplace. Parties to a
transaction are solely responsible for all interactions with each
other, for arranging for payment and the exchange of the goods or
services purchased if applicable, and for the results and performance
of any transaction or relationship entered into through Facebook
Marketplace. You acknowledge that Facebook is not responsible or liable
for any action or inaction of any party to a transaction, for any
failure to perform, to pay any amounts due, or to deliver any
merchandise or services as promised, or for any other aspect of the
transaction. Any fees or payments collected by Facebook applicable to
Facebook Marketplace are set forth on the Site, and all terms and
conditions applicable to such fees are set forth in the Facebook Terms of Sale
However, please note that the Terms of Sale do not apply to your
purchases of products or services from third parties through Facebook
Marketplace, as those transactions are strictly between you and the
other party to the transaction. ALL USE OF FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE IS
PROVIDED "AS IS" AND AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Facebook Platform Applications
The
Facebook Platform is a set of APIs and services provided by Facebook
that enable third-party developers ("Platform Developers") to create
websites and applications that retrieve data made available by Facebook
and its users and/or that retrieve authorized data from third-party
sites for use on the Facebook Site ("Platform Applications")
Platform
Developers may use the Facebook Platform and create Platform
Applications only in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
in an agreement entered into between Facebook and the Platform
Developer ("Developer Terms"). Our standard Developer Terms consist of
the Facebook Developer Terms of Service and the related Facebook Platform Guidelines.
We may from time to time enter into separate agreements with certain
third party Platform Developers that contain different or additional
terms, provided however, that each such separate agreement will require
the third party Platform Developer to only display your information in
accordance with your Facebook privacy settings.
The standard Developer Terms are subject to change without prior notice
at any time, in the Company's sole discretion, so you should review
these documents from time to time. ALL USE OF THE FACEBOOK PLATFORM IS
PROVIDED "AS IS" AND AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Users who install Platform Applications must agree to the terms and conditions set forth in the Platform Application Terms of Use
("Application User Terms") and in these Terms of Use. The Application
User Terms are subject to change without prior notice at any time, in
the Company's sole discretion, so you should review these terms each
time you install an application and from time to time. Platform
Developers may require you to agree to their own terms of service,
privacy policies and/or other policies as a condition of using Platform
Applications. Platform Applications have not been approved, endorsed,
or reviewed in any manner by Facebook, and we are not responsible for
your use of or inability to use any Platform Applications, including
the content, accuracy, or reliability of such Application and the
privacy practices or other policies of Developers. YOU USE SUCH
PLATFORM APPLICATIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
If you, your friends or
members of your network use any Platform Applications, such Platform
Applications may access and share certain information about you with
others in accordance with your privacy settings as further described in
our Privacy Policy.
Platform Developers are required to agree to restrictions on access,
storage and use of such information. However, while we have undertaken
contractual and technical steps to restrict possible misuse of such
information by such Platform Developers, we do not screen or approve
Developers, and we cannot and do not guarantee that all Platform
Developers will abide by such restrictions and agreements. Certain
actions you take through the Platform Applications may be displayed to
your friends in your profile, mini-feed and news feed, and you may
opt-out of displaying your Platform Application actions on the Privacy
Settings page. Please report any suspected misuse of information
through the Facebook Platform as described in our Privacy Policy.
You may set your preferences for your news feed and mini-feed here.
Facebook Connect
Facebook
Connect ("Connect") enables participating third party websites to work
just like Facebook Platform applications. Once you allow a third party
website to connect with Facebook, you will be able to use your Facebook
login information to log into that website. The third party website
will be able to: generate and publish news feed and other stories about
actions you take on their website; access Facebook information related
to you (including your profile information, friends, and privacy
settings) so you can use your Facebook information on the third party
site; and allow you to interact with your friends on the website. In
order to make Connect possible, you agree to allow Facebook to check
your Facebook cookies when you are visiting participating third party
websites, and allow Facebook to receive information concerning the
actions you take on those third party websites. In addition, once you
allow a participating third party website to connect with Facebook, you
agree to allow Facebook and such third party website to generate and
publish news feed and other stories about actions you take on the
website without any additional permission. In the event you no longer
want the third party website to publish stories about you, you can
always disable this feature by changing your application settings.
When
your friends connect their Facebook account with a participating third
party website, Facebook Connect will enable them to find Facebook
friends that may also be users of that third party website, and invite
them to use Connect as well. If you do not want your friends to be able
to invite you, you may change your privacy settings to disable this feature.
Connect
also gives you the ability to permit Facebook and participating third
party websites to generate and publish news feed and other stories
about actions you have taken on such websites, even if you have not
gone through the Connect process. In such cases, you will be asked
whether you want to publish the story on Facebook, and will be given
the opportunity to save your answer for future stories. In the event
you want to change your settings for that website, visit your application settings.
Like
Platform Applications, third party websites that participate in Connect
are required, among other things, to protect your privacy consistent
with your Facebook privacy settings and Facebook's privacy policy.
Facebook Pages
Facebook
Pages are special profiles used solely for commercial, political, or
charitable purposes. You may not set up a Facebook Page on behalf of
another individual or entity unless you are authorized to do so. This
includes fan Facebook Pages, as well as Facebook Pages to support or
criticize another individual or entity.
FACEBOOK DOES NOT
PRE-SCREEN OR APPROVE FACEBOOK PAGES, AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT A
FACEBOOK PAGE WAS ACTUALLY CREATED AND IS BEING OPERATED BY THE
INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF A FACEBOOK PAGE. NOR IS
FACEBOOK RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF ANY FACEBOOK PAGE, OR ANY
TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO OR OTHER ACTIONS TAKEN ON OR IN CONNECTION
WITH ANY FACEBOOK PAGE, INCLUDING HOW THE OWNER OF THE FACEBOOK PAGE
COLLECTS, HANDLES, USES AND / OR SHARES ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IT MAY
COLLECT FROM USERS (PLEASE REVIEW THE FACEBOOK PRIVACY POLICY
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING THE USE OR SHARING OF
YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION). YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL BEFORE PROVIDING ANY
PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OR ENTERING INTO ANY TRANSACTION IN CONNECTION
WITH A FACEBOOK PAGE.
In addition to these Terms of Use, Facebook Pages are subject to and governed by certain Additional Terms Applicable to Facebook Pages. The Additional Terms Applicable to Facebook Pages control in the event of any conflict between them and the Terms of Use.

of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of
laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that
might arise between you and the Company or any of our affiliates. With
respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration (as set
forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in
connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts of
California, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack

Arbitration
YOU
AND COMPANY AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS MAY OTHERWISE BE PROVIDED IN REGARD
TO SPECIFIC SERVICES ON THE SITE IN ANY SPECIFIC TERMS APPLICABLE TO
THOSE SERVICES, THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE FORUM AND REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL
DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RELATING IN ANY WAY TO OR ARISING OUT OF THESE
TERMS OF USE, THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICE (INCLUDING YOUR VISIT TO OR
USE OF THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICE) SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING
ARBITRATION, except that: (a) to the extent that either of us has in
any manner infringed upon or violated or threatened to infringe upon or
violate the other party's patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret
rights, or you have otherwise violated any of the user conduct rules
set forth above or in the Code of Conduct then the parties acknowledge
that arbitration is not an adequate remedy at law and that injunctive
or other appropriate relief may be sought; and (b) no disputes or
claims relating to any transactions you enter into with a third party
through the Facebook Marketplace may be arbitrated.
Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted by the American
Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration
Rules and, in the case of consumer disputes, the AAA's Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ( the "AAA Consumer Rules")
(collectively the "AAA Rules"). The location of the arbitration and the
allocation of costs and fees for such arbitration shall be determined
in accordance with such AAA Rules and shall be subject to the
limitations provided for in the AAA Consumer Rules (for consumer
disputes). If such costs are determined to be excessive in a consumer
dispute, the Company will be responsible for paying all arbitration
fees and arbitrator compensation in excess of what is deemed
reasonable. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered
as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NO ARBITRATION
OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER
ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY
OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICE, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION
PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. In no event shall any claim, action or
proceeding by you related in any way to the Site and/or the Service
(including your visit to or use of the Site and/or the Service) be
instituted more than three (3) years after the cause of action arose.
