Pulp Culture contains graphics, text, photographs, images, video, audio, software, code, website compilation, and website "look and feel" supplied by us or our licensors, which we call "Pulp Culture content." Pulp Culture content is protected by intellectual property laws including copyright and other proprietary rights of the United States and foreign countries.

By submitting user content to Pulp Culture, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies, perform, or publicly display your user content in any medium and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, and to authorize others to do so.

Links and Pulp Culture

Pulp Culture is a place with many third-party hyperlinks posted by users like you. We are not responsible for the content or actions of any third party websites or services associated with posted links. You agree to take sole legal responsibility for any links you post, and neither this agreement nor our privacy policy applies to any content on other websites related to those links. You should consult the terms and privacy policies of those other websites to understand your rights.

Don't spam the Pulp Culture community

You may not post any graphics, text, photographs, images, video, audio or other material that we deem to be junk or spam. Cluttering Pulp Culture with this sort of content reduces the quality of the Pulp Culture experience for others.

A Few More Legalities

Each of the following sections applies to the maximum extent permitted by law. Where jurisdictions do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or the limitation of liability in contracts, the contents of this section may not apply.

• Indemnity

  All the things you do and all the information you submit or post to Pulp Culture remain your responsibility. Indemnity is basically a way of saying that you will not hold us legally liable for any of your user content or actions that infringe the law or the rights of a third party or person in any way.

  Specifically, you agree to hold Pulp Culture, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and third party service providers harmless from and defend them against any claims, costs, damages, losses, expenses, and any other liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or related to your access to or use of Pulp Culture, your violation of this user agreement, and/or your violation of the rights of any third party or person.

• Disclaimer of Warranties

  Pulp Culture is provided "as is" and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our affiliates and third party service providers disclaim any and all warranties, express or implied, including (but not limited to) implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement of proprietary rights, or any other warranty, condition, guarantee or representation, whether oral or electronic. You are solely responsible for any damage to your computer or mobile device, loss of use, or loss of your user content. We do not guarantee that Pulp Culture will always work properly.

• Limitation of Liability

  We will not be liable for any special, consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive, reliance, or exemplary damages, whether in tort, contract, or any other legal theory, arising out of or in any way connected with this agreement or your use of or attempt to use Pulp Culture, including (but not limited to) damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, or data. This limitation on liability shall not be affected even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some states do not allow for the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. You may have other rights that vary from state to state.

  You agree to release us, our affiliates, and third-party service providers, and each associated director, employee, agents, and officers, from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential), of every kind and nature, known and unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected to your use of Pulp Culture.

• Governing Law

  The headings in this agreement are for convenience and do not control any of its provisions.

  Any claim or dispute between you and us arising out of or relating to this user agreement, in whole or in part, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without respect to its conflict of laws provisions. We agree and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal court located in King County, Washington.

• Severability and Enforcement

  If any provision of this user agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent. If no such modification is possible, that provision will be severed from the rest of this agreement.

  If we do not enforce any right or provision in this user agreement, that is not to be deemed a waiver of our right to do so in the future.

Changes

This user agreement is the entire agreement between you and us concerning Pulp Culture.

It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and us. We may modify this user agreement at any time. If we make changes to this agreement we will let you know by revising the Last Updated date at the top of the agreement.

By continuing to use Pulp Culture after a change to this agreement, you agree to those changes.
