19. Additional Terms in Connection with WorkLife. If, in your Service Activation Agreement with Event Protocol, you are purchasing WorkLife, or if you use WorkLife through your company, school or organization, the following additional terms apply to you:
19.1 WorkLife provides a place for people to communicate with others in their work, school or community networks (each, a “Network”) in real time.
19.2 Subject to these Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of any social media network used by you, you may forward job postings broadcast by your Employer via WorkLife’s “Referral” feature on social media networks to individuals who do not subscribe to WorkLife by using the functionality provided as part of the Referral feature on the condition that job postings are distributed solely through the Referral functionality and only: (1) to individuals who have a relationship to you on various social media networks; and (2) for the purpose of alerting those individuals of job postings that may be of interest to them. You are expressly prohibited from exploiting job postings for any commercial purpose (such as in the operation of a professional recruiting service). You are also expressly prohibited from forwarding job postings to any group or mass distribution list or forwarding job postings in violation of any local, state, federal or international laws, rules or regulations, including, without limitation, the federal CAN SPAM Act of 2003.
19.3 Each Network may have one or more individuals who are responsible for overseeing the use of, and monitoring the content posted to, such Network (the “Network Administrator”).
19.4 Users should follow their particular company’s policies, guidelines, and procedures concerning the User Content they post to the Network. Users may delete their own User Content from the Network, so long as they are a member of that Network. Network Administrators may delete the User Content of one or more Users in their Network.
19.5 Individual Users may form a group to segment the audience for certain User Content (“Group”). Each Group may have one or more administrators (the “Group Administrator”). A Group may be designated as open to any User in a Network (a “Public Group”) or a Group may be limited to certain Users in a Network with membership subject to the approval of the Group Administrator (a “Private Group”). A Group Administrator may add or remove Users to that particular Group. Though Users may establish a Private Group, User Content posted within a Private Group on a Network is owned by that Network.
19.6 Some areas of the Network may allow Users to post feedback, comments, questions, data, and other information (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for your User Content that you upload, publish, display, link to or otherwise make available (hereinafter, “post”) on the Network, and you agree that Event Protocol is only acting as a passive conduit for the online distribution and publication of your User Content. Event Protocol will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such User Content except as provided herein or as may be required by law. All User Content will automatically become the property of the company who has purchased the Network (including all User Content posted to a specific Group or Groups within a Network). Event Protocol does not have, nor does it claim, any ownership rights in any User Content. In addition, you should note that if you are no longer an eligible member of a network (e.g., you cease to be employed by the relevant company), your access to all User Content you uploaded may be terminated. Once a User is removed from a Network, the content of that User remains on the Network and is the sole property of the company which administers that Network.
19.7 You agree not to post User Content that: (i) may create a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to you or any other person; (ii) may create a risk of any other loss or damage to any person or property; (iii) may constitute or contribute to a crime or tort; (iv) contains any information or content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, or otherwise objectionable; (v) contains any information or content that is illegal; (vi) contains any information or content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships; or (vii) contains any information or content that you know is not correct and current. You agree that any User Content that you post does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including without limitation any intellectual property rights, rights of publicity and privacy.
19.8 Event Protocol takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other Users or third parties post or send over the Network. You understand and agree that any loss or damage of any kind that occurs as a result of the use of any User Content that you send, upload, download, stream, post, transmit, display, or otherwise make available or access through your use of the Network, is solely your responsibility. Event Protocol is not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User Content. You understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree that Event Protocol shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of such User Content.
19.9 You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Network Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users.
