9. User-Generated Content; Content License
Certain areas of the Site may allow users to post or upload information, data, text, photographs, graphics, messages and/or other content (“User-Generated Content”), which may include merchandise information if you are an approved seller or comments if you are a buyer. You agree that all of your User-Generated Content will comply with the requirements of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that User-Generated Content and any and all liability arising from User-Generated Content are the sole responsibility of the user who posted the content, and not NB. In addition, you understand that by using the NB Services, you may be exposed to User-Generated Content that may be personally sensitive in nature. While NB attempts to maintain a respectful online community, it does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any User-Generated Content. Under no circumstances will NB be liable in any way for any User-Generated Content, including, but not limited to, for any errors, omissions or misrepresentations in any User-Generated Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of, or arising from, any User-Generated Content
If you do choose to post content on our Site, please do not do so unless you understand that your User-Generated Content is intended to be made available publicly. You should not assume that you are anonymous online and cannot be identified by your User-Generated Content.
When, as applicable, you provide User-Generated Content to NB through the Services, or grant NB the ability to access your User-Generated Content on third party sites, you grant NB a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferable and perpetual right and license to use, host, store, cache, reproduce, publish, display (publicly or otherwise), perform (publicly or otherwise), distribute, transmit, modify, adapt (including, without limitation, in order to conform it to the requirements of any networks, devices, services, or media through which the Services are available), and create derivative works of, such User-Generated Content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purposes of allowing NB to operate the Services in accordance with their functionality, improve the Services, and develop new Services. The reference in this license to "creat[ing] derivative works" is not intended to give NB a right to make substantive editorial changes or derivations, but does, for example, enable reblogging or reposting, which allows NB subscribers or NB to redistribute User-Generated Content in a manner that allows them to add their own text or other content before or after your User-Generated Content (such as comments).
You also agree that this license includes the right for NB to make all publicly-posted User-Generated Content available to third parties selected by NB, so that those third parties can syndicate and/or analyze such User-Generated Content on other media and services. In addition, you grant NB and our affiliates the right to use the name you submit in connection with Your User-Generated Content if we so choose.
Note also that this license to your User-Generated Content continues even if you stop using the Services, primarily because of the social nature of Content shared through NB’s Services - when you post something publicly, others may choose to comment on it, making your User-Generated Content part of a social conversation that can’t later be erased without retroactively censoring the speech of others.
You also agree that you will respect the intellectual property rights of others, and represent and warrant that you have all of the necessary rights to grant us this license for all User-Generated Content you transfer to us.
10. Modifications to NB Services
NB reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify, suspend, discontinue or terminate the NB Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that NB will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, discontinuation or termination of the NB Services.
11. Termination of Your Access to NB Services
You agree that NB, in its sole discretion, may terminate your access to any of the NB Services, and/or remove, discard or modify any User-Generated Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if NB believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms. You agree that any termination of your access to the NB Services may be affected without prior notice and acknowledge and agree that NB may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the NB Services. If you use the Site in violation of these Terms, NB may, in its sole discretion, retain all data collected from your use of the Site. Further, you agree that NB shall not be liable to you or any third party for the discontinuation or termination of your access to the NB Services, or collection of information notwithstanding in the case of your violation of this Agreement, even if advised of a claim for damages.
12. Third Party Links and Services
Our Site and Services may contain links to other websites or services. We may also feature goods and services of third parties on one or more of our social media feeds or channels. These links are provided as a convenience to you and as an additional avenue of access to the information contained therein. We have not necessarily reviewed the information on those other sites and are not responsible for the content of those other sites or any products or services that may be offered through other sites. Inclusion of links to other sites should not be viewed as an endorsement of the content of linked sites. Further, your dealings with any third parties found on or through the Site or Services, the purchase of goods or services, and any terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such activities, including privacy terms, are solely between you and the third party. You agree that NB will have no liability for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of any activities you undertake in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, goods, services, information or other materials available, or through such third parties, through the Site or Services.
13. Privacy Notice
As noted elsewhere herein, the data that we obtain from you through your use of any of the Services, is subject to our Privacy Notice. The Privacy Notice can be viewed on our Privacy Notice page. The Privacy Notice contains terms and conditions that govern our collection and use of the information you provide to us, including our respective rights relative to that information.

You understand and agree that this Release is a condition precedent to your access to the Services. You acknowledge that you are aware of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor [or claimant] does not know or suspect to exist in his/her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him/her, must have materially affected his/her settlement with the debtor [or opposing party].” Nonetheless, it is your intent to release NB and the NB Affiliates, fully and finally. You hereby waive any benefits you may have pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1542 to the fullest extent permitted by law and assume the risk of any and all claims against NB and the NB Affiliates, or any of them, which you do not know or suspect to exist whether through ignorance, oversight, error or otherwise.

THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT NB HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY THE INDEMNITY PROVISIONS HEREIN, IN NO EVENT WILL NB’S DIRECT LIABILITY HEREUNDER EXCEED $100.00.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
