Without limiting the foregoing, Kadoo and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the Terms of Service or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

 

You understand that the Service and software embodied within the Service may include security components that permit digital materials to be protected, and that use of these materials is subject to usage rules set by Kadoo and/or Content providers who provide Content to the Service. You may not attempt to override or circumvent any of the usage rules embedded into the Service. Any unauthorized reproduction, publication, further distribution or public exhibition of the materials provided on the Service, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.

 

            7.         Interstate Nature of Communications on Kadoo Network.  You acknowledge that in using the Service you will be causing communications to be sent through Kadoo’s computer networks, portions of which are located in Washington, D.C. and Virginia, and other locations in the United States and portions of which are located abroad. As a result, and also as a result of Kadoo’s network architecture and business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the transmission of interstate communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, you acknowledge that use of the Service results in interstate data transmissions.

 

Kadoo Email and Chat will allow you and the people with whom you communicate to save your conversations in your Kadoo accounts located on Kadoo servers. This means you can access and search your message history from any computer with access to the internet. Whether or not you use this feature, other Users may choose to use it to save conversations with you in their account on Kadoo too. Your agreement to the Terms of Service constitutes your consent to allow Kadoo to store these communications on its servers. From time to time Kadoo will send you notices through the Kadoo Chat Service to let you know about important changes to the Kadoo Chat or related Services. Such messages may not be received if you violate the Terms of Service by accessing the Service in an unauthorized manner. Your agreement to the Terms of Service constitutes your agreement that you are deemed to have received any and all notices that would have been delivered had you accessed the Service in an authorized manner.

 

            8.         Special Admonitions for International Use.  Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.

 

            9.         Content Submitted or Made Available for Inclusion on the Service.  Kadoo does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service.
