Users are prohibited from posting any material of an obscene nature on the CM site. Although CM exercises due diligence to ensure that any obscene content posted by users in violation of the TOS is promptly removed, users may sometimes come across user-posted obscene content that we have not yet discovered.

1. You acknowledge that CM may or may not pre-screen all Content, but that CM and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or move any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, CM and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS 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. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by CM or submitted to CM.
2. You acknowledge and agree that CM may preserve Content and may also disclose Content if required to do so by law or to:
  1. comply with legal process;

  3. respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; or
  4. protect the rights, property, or personal safety of CM, its users and the public.
3. You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may involve
