You understand that your Content may be downloaded, copied, syndicated, broadcast, distributed, or published by other users of the Services and by our partners and if you do not have the right to submit Content for such use, it may subject you to liability. Pingtumi will not be responsible or liable for any use of your Content by Pingtumi in accordance with these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein to any Content that you submit.

Your continued use of the Services constitutes your agreement to comply with these additional restrictions and policies. Pingtumi’s failure to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision of the Terms.
