7. Material Provided by You and Other Users. The Site may allow you to submit and share information, text, data, images, photographs, and other works of authorship (collectively, "User Content"). The term "User Content" includes, without limitation, any information you provide to us in connection with your registration on the Site and any member profile you create under an account with a third-party (such as Facebook and other social media providers), to the extent that you use said member profile in connection with the Site. If you submit User Content to the Site, you grant us an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, unrestricted license (with the right to sub-license the rights to others) to reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, and publicly display and perform User Content in whole or in part in any media now known or later developed; to use the names, likenesses, voices, and other information you submit as part of User Content; and to identify User Content with our description or additional information.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor." If you reside in any other jurisdiction that places similar restrictions on a general release, you waive those restrictions to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. 3 We have the right to delete, modify, or supplement User Content and to prohibit you from submitting User Content at any time for any reason without notice to anyone. You are solely responsible for any User Content that you submit to the Site. We do not endorse or adopt any User Content.

8. Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement. We respect the copyright and other proprietary rights of third parties. However, we cannot monitor all material posted on the Site. If you believe that any material posted on the Site infringes your copyright, then you may request the removal of those materials from the Site in accordance with the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), and the procedures described below. A notice of infringing material that complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) ("Notice") must be sent to the agent we have designated with the Copyright Office: info@famatch.com PLEASE NOTE: This address serves solely to receive notices of claimed infringement on the Site. Other messages or inquiries sent to this address will receive no reply. When we receive a Notice, we may remove the identified material and make a good-faith effort to inform the user who posted the allegedly infringing material (the "Alleged Infringer") of the Notice and subsequent removal. The Alleged Infringer may then provide us with a counter-notice ("Counter-Notice") that the initial infringement Notice was erroneous. Such Counter-Notice must comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). Upon receipt of a compliant Counter-Notice, we will notify you of the Counter-Notice and restore the material within 10 to 14 business days of receipt of the Counter-Notice, unless you inform us that you have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing party from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Site.

15. General Provisions.

If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give the fullest permissible effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect, if doing so does not deprive either party of a material benefit under these Terms. You may not assign your rights under the Terms without FA Match's prior written consent, and any attempted assignment in violation of this provision is null and void. FA Match may assign these Terms and transfer any of its rights or obligations at any time for any reason.
