3. Proprietary Rights in Content on SoundBarter.
SoundBarter owns and retains all proprietary rights in the Web site and the

written permission, you may not copy, modify, publish, transmit, distribute,

4. Content Posted on the Web Site - Rules, Policies, and Disclaimers.
You agree, through your use of this Sound Barter service, that you will not
use this web site to post any material which is knowingly false and/or
defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane,
sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in
violation of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the
copyright is owned by you. We have provided powerful and well-organized email
messaging on each detailed listing and in the My Listings and My Inquiries
sections of My SoundBarter, expressly for communication between members.
Consequently we require that members do not include information in their
listings and messages that will circumvent the use of SoundBarter email
messaging. Examples of such information would include, but is not limited to
phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses and web site URL’s. Although
we do not and cannot review the listings and messages posted and are not
responsible for their content, we do reserve the right to edit or delete any
content for any reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content
of your listings and messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless
SoundBarter and their agents with respect to any claim based upon hosting and
transmission of your listings and messages. We at SoundBarter also reserve the
right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the
event of a complaint or legal action arising from any content posted by you.
Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and
solicitations are inappropriate on this site. Considering the real-time nature
of this web site, it is impossible for us to review listings and messages or
confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that we do not
actively monitor the contents of posted listings and messages and therefore do
not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any listing
or message, and are not responsible for their contents. The listings and
messages express the views of their authors, not the views of SoundBarter or any
entity associated with SoundBarter. Any user who feels that a posted listing or
message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. We
have the ability to remove objectionable listings and messages and we will make
every effort to do so within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that
removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that
we may not be able to remove or edit particular listings or messages
immediately.
5. Copyright Policy.
You may not post, distribute, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted
material, trademarks, or other proprietary information without obtaining the
prior written consent of the owner of such proprietary rights. Without limiting
the foregoing, if you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the
Service in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide us with
the following information: an electronic or physical signature of the person
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; a
