this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 5(B), 5(C), 5(D), 6, 8, 10 and this Section

10. Third Party Content. FanArtReview is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content supplied by
third parties and Subscribers. Accordingly, FanArtReview has no more editorial control over
such content than does a public library, bookstore, or newsstand. Any opinions,
advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made
available by third parties, including information providers, Subscribers or any other
user of FanArtReview, are those of the respective site member(s) or distributor(s) and not
of FanArtReview. Neither FanArtReview nor any third-party provider of information guarantees
the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content, nor its merchantability
or fitness for any particular purpose. (Refer to Section 6 above for the complete
provisions governing limitation of liabilities and disclaimers of warranty.)
In many instances, the content available through FanArtReview represents the
opinions and judgments of the respective information provider, Subscriber, or other
user not under contract with FanArtReview. FanArtReview neither endorses nor is responsible for the
accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice or statement made on FanArtReview
by anyone other than authorized FanArtReview employee spokespersons while acting in their
official capacities. Under no circumstances will FanArtReview be liable for any loss or damage
caused by a Subscriber's reliance on information obtained through FanArtReview. It
is the responsibility of Subscriber to evaluate the accuracy, completeness or usefulness
of any information, opinion, advice or other content available through FanArtReview. Please seek the advice of professionals, as appropriate, regarding the
evaluation of any specific information, opinion, advice or other content.
11. Third Party Sales.
FanArtReview acts as a venue to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy art and other goods, from anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats, including a fixed price format. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay for items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction. Consequently, we do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer, and nothing in this agreement shall modify the governing provisions of Ca. Com. Code § 2401(2) and Uniform Com. Code § 2-401(2), under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the item to the buyer by the seller. Because we are a venue, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release FanArtReview (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
12. Trademarks.
FANSTORY, the FanStory logo, FANARTREVIEW, the FanArtReview logo, are registered trademarks of FanStory.com, Inc. All rights reserved. All other trademarks appearing on FanStory.com are the property of their respective owners.
13. Miscellaneous. This Agreement and any operating rules for FanArtReview
established by FanArtReview constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between
the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of laws
rules. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed
to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings
used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.
14. Cost.
There is no cost for using the basic services of FanArtReview. Premium services are available via subscription or surcharges, and those areas will be clearly marked.

15. Copyrights and Copyright Agent.
FanArtReview respects the rights of all copyright holders and in this regard, FanArtReview has adopted and implemented a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and account holders who infringe the rights of copyright holders. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide FanArtReview's Copyright Agent the following information required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ¤ 512:
