You are solely responsible for all content you upload, publish or display (hereinafter, “post”) on or through MiladyPro, or transmit to or share with other users (collectively the “User Content”). You may not post, transmit, or share User Content on MiladyPro that you did not create or that you do not have permission to post. You understand and agree that Cengage may, but is not obligated to, review User Content and may delete or remove (without notice) any User Content or any other content on MiladyPro in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, including User Content that in the sole judgment of Cengage violates this Agreement, or which might be offensive, illegal, or that might violate the rights, harm, or threaten the safety of users or others. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing such content. You are solely responsible at your sole cost and expense for creating backup copies and replacing any User Content you post or store on MiladyPro or provide to Cengage. We neither endorse nor assume any liability for the contents of any material uploaded or submitted by users of MiladyPro, and you understand that although we may provide you storage space and access for User Content on MiladyPro, we in no way endorse the User Content or deem the User Content to be suitable under the terms of this Agreement.

You hereby consent to such removal and waive any claim against us arising out of such removal of content (including User Content). You also understand that we reserve the right to conclude that the User Content is unsuitable in accordance with our standards, and we may come to such a conclusion even if it is based upon our opinion or mere suspicion or belief, without any duty to prove that our opinion or suspicion is well-founded and even if our opinion or suspicion is proven not to be well-founded or if we provide services to other users despite such users’ content having the same or similar characteristics as the User Content.
In addition, you may not use MiladyPro to breach security of another account or attempt to gain unauthorized access to another network or server. Not all areas, features, functionalities, or capabilities of MiladyPro may be available to you or other authorized users of MiladyPro. You shall not interfere with anyone else's use and enjoyment of MiladyPro. Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability.
We may investigate any reported violation of this Agreement or any complaints and take any action that we deem appropriate and reasonable under the circumstance to protect our systems, facilities, customers and/or third parties, including suspending or terminating without prior notice your account and access to MiladyPro. In the event we take any corrective action, we shall not be obligated to refund to you any unused prepaid charges.
To comply with applicable laws and governmental requests, to protect our systems and customers or to ensure the integrity and operation of our business and systems, we may access and disclose any information we consider necessary or appropriate, including your profile information (including name and e-mail address), usage history, and User Content residing on our computer systems. We also reserve the right to report to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other appropriate third parties any activity that we suspect violates any law.
