As a result, you are solely responsible at your own expense for creating backup copies and replacing any User Generated Content you post or store on the Site or provide to OVBE. Notwithstanding its lack of obligation, OVBE may remove any User Generated Content at any time at its sole discretion, including User Generated Content that in the sole judgment of OVBE violates this Service Agreement or which may be offensive, illegal or violate the rights of any person or entity, or harm or threaten the safety of any person or entity.

OVBE's Permitted Use of User Generated Content When you post User Generated Content to the Site, you authorize and direct OVBE to make such copies as OVBE deems necessary to facilitate the posting and storage of User Generated Content on the Site.

VI. Service Limitations OVBE may establish limits concerning use of the Service at its discretion, including by way of example only the length, number or size of photos, email messages, postings, or other content that are retained, stored, displayed, or transmitted by the Site.

OVBE urges Users to exercise caution and good judgment when paying for or attending Events. Release. OVBE does not supervise or control Events or other physical interactions among or between Users and any other persons or companies. For many reasons, for example because OVBE is not involved in any way with physical transportation to or from OVBE Events or with the actions of any individuals at Events, because OVBE does not have control over the identity or actions of Event Hosts, Users or others who attend Events, because OVBE cannot guarantee the true identity of Event attendees, and because OVBE typically has very limited control, if any, over the quality, safety, morality, legality, truthfulness or accuracy of various aspects of the Events, Users assume all risk associated with paying for and attending Events and agree to release OVBE (and its officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, and third party partners) from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of any nature arising out of or in any way connected with Events. Users further waive any and all rights and benefits otherwise conferred by any statutory or non-statutory law of any jurisdiction that would purport to limit the scope of a release or waiver, including relinquishing any rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any similar provision of the statutory or non-statutory law of any other jurisdiction (including without limitation the states of Missouri, Delaware and Pennsylvania) to the full extent that a User may lawfully waive such rights and benefits. Users attend Events at their own risk. VIII.

Users may have additional rights as a consumer under local law that this Agreement cannot change. XII. LIABILITY LIMITATION; EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR USERS You acknowledge that OVBE cannot provide the Service at a reasonable price without limiting its liability as set forth herein, so, as an express condition of use of the Site or Service, you agree to limit OVBE's potential liability to you as described in this clause. This limitation of liability is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between OVBE and you as a User. To the extent permitted by applicable law, OVBE shall not be liable for any consequential, lost profits, special, or incidental damages resulting from your access to or use of--or inability to access or use (including due to modification, suspension, blocking, discontinuance, cancellation, or termination of the Service or any part thereof)- the Site or Service, whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory. Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically acknowledge that OVBE is not liable for the defamatory, offensive, infringing, breaching, fraudulent, or illegal conduct of other Users or third parties and that the risk of injury from the foregoing rests entirely with you. These limitations apply to any matter related to the Site, Service or its content; third party Internet sites, programs or conduct; viruses or other disabling features; incompatibility between the Service and other services, software, or hardware; and any delay or failure in initiating, conducting, or completing any transmission or transaction in connection with the Service in an accurate or timely manner. These limitations also apply even if this remedy does not fully compensate you for any losses, or fails its essential purpose; or even if OVBE knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. Some states, provinces and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to Users in these jurisdictions. XIII. Special Admonitions for International Use As a consequence of the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all local rules and laws regarding user conduct on the Internet and acceptable content. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding obscene and indecent content and communications and those regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.

All disputes related to or arising from this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Georgia; to which jurisdiction and venue you and OVBE each irrevocably consent.
