on or transmitted by any User which violates or infringes on the
rights of others, which is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory,
invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise
objectionable, which encourages conduct that would constitute a
criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability or otherwise violates
any law. No conduct shall be undertaken that, in our judgment,
restricts or inhibits any other User from using or enjoying the
Service. Advertising or explicit commercial solicitations may NOT

prior written approval.
No material protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary right shall be uploaded, posted or otherwise made available on the Service without the express permission of the owner of the copyright, trademark or other proprietary right. You shall be solely liable for any damages resulting from any infringement of copyrights, proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting from any uploading, posting or submission.

Third Party Links
In an attempt to provide increased value to Users, MLS may provide
various third party web-site links from this web-site. However,
even if the third party is affiliated with MLS, MLS has no control
over these linked sites who may each have separate privacy and
data collection practices, and which are independent of MLS. Neither
MLS nor any of its affiliates and contractors, have any responsibility
or liability for these independent policies or actions and no such
party is responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
such web sites. These linked sites are only for your convenience
and you therefore access them at your own risk. Nonetheless, MLS
seeks to protect the integrity of its web site and the links placed
upon it and therefore requests feedback on not only its own site,
but for sites it links to as well (including if a specific link
does not work).
Third Party Content
We are a distributor of content supplied by third parties and Users
of the Service. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers,
or other information or content expressed or made available by
third parties, or any other user of the Service, are those of the
respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of MLS.
Chain Letter and Pyramid Schemes
Transmitting chain letters or pyramid schemes of any kind is strictly
disallowed on this Service's mail and message systems and is considered
a nuisance by a majority of users. In addition, certain chain letters
and pyramid schemes are illegal under state and federal law. Letters
or messages that offer a product or service based on the structure
of a chain letter are also of questionable legality. At a minimum,
they are a waste of this Service's resources and are not permitted.

You may not use this Service to send unsolicited advertising, promotional
material, or other forms of solicitation to other users except
in specific areas designated for such a purpose.

You are prohibited by this Terms and Use Agreement and by law from
engaging in acts of copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret
or other intellectual property or proprietary infringement.

MLS prohibits the transfer or posting on this Service of nudity,
pornographic or adult material, sexually explicit images or descriptions
involving sexual behavior, or other content deemed offensive by
MLS according to community standards and state and federal law.
