We reserve the right at all times (but we do not have the obligation) to remove or refuse to distribute any Content on the Services and to terminate users and reclaim user names. We also reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any Content or other information for any reason in our sole discretion, including without limitation to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, enforce the Terms, including investigation of potential violations hereof, detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, respond to user support requests, or protect the rights, property or safety of 4 Walls, its users and the public.
You may not do any of the following while accessing or using the Services:
- access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of the Services, 4 Walls’s computer systems, or the technical delivery systems of the website’s systems;
- probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measures;

- forge any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any email or posting, or in any way use the Services to send altered, deceptive or false source-identifying information;
- interfere with, or disrupt, (or attempt to do so), the access of any user, host or network, including, without limitation, sending a virus, overloading, flooding, spamming, mail-bombing the Services, or by scripting the creation of Content in such a manner as to interfere with or create an undue burden on the Services.
9. Intellectual property policy
4 Walls respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our Services to do the same. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright or other intellectual property infringement that comply with applicable law (including the Digital Millennium Copyright or “DMCA” at 17 U.S.C. §512) and are properly provided to us. If you would like the benefit of your legal protections under the DMCA, please review the DMCA to ensure your compliance.
If you believe that your Content has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement or the infringement of other intellectual property rights, please send us a written request to remove the allegedly-infringing Content (“takedown notice”). Each takedown notice must be in English and include the following information:
- Identification of the work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled.
Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., a detailed uniform resource locator or “URL”). - Your contact information, including your postal address, telephone number, and an email address.
- A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the Content or other material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner or other owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner or other owner.
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, other owner, or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
On our receipt of a takedown notice, we may publish the takedown notice to the general public, or provide a copy of the takedown notice to the user that uploaded or provided the Content accused to be infringing (“Accused Content”). For any takedown notice that is subject to the provisions of the DMCA, the original provider of the Accused Content may have the right to send a notice to us (“counter notice”) demanding that the Accused Content be restored to the Services.
In compliance with the DMCA or other applicable law, we may implement any takedown notice by removing the Accused Content or other material from public view on the Services, and we may implement any counter notice by restoring the Accused Content or other material to public view on the Services. In either case, 4 Walls shall bear no liability to you or anyone else for the posting, removal or re-posting of any Accused Content.
Independent of the DMCA and any other applicable laws or regulations, we reserve the right to remove any Accused Content without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you or anyone else. In appropriate circumstances, 4 Walls will also terminate a registered user’s account if we determine the registered user to be a repeat infringer.

13. Exclusions
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you.
14. Waiver and severability
The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
15. Controlling law and jurisdiction
These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the federal law of the United States, without regard to or application of any conflict of laws principles or rules.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless for any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to court costs, legal fees, awards or settlements) relating to or arising out of your use of the Services, including any breach by you of the Terms or any allegation that you have infringed the intellectual property rights or other rights of another person. This indemnity obligation shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms or your use of the Services.
Any controversy or claim between the parties or arising out of these Terms or any Services shall be determined by one arbitrator in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. We anticipate that you may be geographically distant from our offices. Accordingly, to reduce the cost of resolving any dispute, all arbitration hearings will be conducted by video conference or audio conference. The arbitral award will be final and binding, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

We may revise these Terms from time to time and post the revised version of the Terms on the Services. If the revision, in our sole discretion, is material we may notify you via an e-mail to the email address associated with your account.
