1. MalibuMakos.com.

  • Responsibility of Contributors. If you comment on a blog, post material to MalibuMakos.com, post links on MalibuMakos.com, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct. That is the case regardless of what form the Content takes, which includes, but is not limited to text, photo, video, audio, or code. By using MalibuMakos.com, you represent and warrant that your Content and conduct do not violate these Terms. By submitting Content to Makos for inclusion on our website, you grant Makos a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content. This license allows Makos to make publicly-posted content available to third parties selected by Makos so that these third parties can analyze and distribute (but not publicly display) your content through their services.

2. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy.

As Makos asks others to respect its intellectual property rights, it respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material located on or linked to by MalibuMakos.com violates your copyright, you are encouraged to notify Makos. Makos will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material. Makos will terminate a visitor’s access to and use of the website if, under appropriate circumstances, the visitor is determined to be a repeat infringer of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Makos or others. In the case of such termination, Makos will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid to Makos.

3. Intellectual Property.

This Agreement does not transfer from Makos to you any Makos or third party intellectual property, and all right, title, and interest in and to such property will remain (as between the parties) solely with Makos. Malibu Makos, MalibuMakos.com, the MalibuMakos.com logo, and all other trademarks, service marks, graphics and logos used in connection with MalibuMakos.com or our Services, are trademarks or registered trademarks of Malibu Makos or Malibu Makos’s licensors. Other trademarks, service marks, graphics and logos used in connection with our Services may be the trademarks of other third parties. Your use of our Services grants you no right or license to reproduce or otherwise use any Makos or third-party trademarks.

4. Changes.

We update our Services from time to time, and that means sometimes we have to change the legal terms under which our Services are offered. If we make changes that are material, we will let you know by posting on one of our blogs, or by sending you an email or other communication before the changes take effect. The notice will designate a reasonable period of time after which the new terms will take effect. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using our Services within the designated notice period. Your continued use of our Services will be subject to the new terms. However, any dispute that arose before the changes shall be governed by the Terms (including the binding individual arbitration clause) that were in place when the dispute arose.

5. Termination.

Makos may terminate your access to all or any part of our Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. If you wish to terminate this Agreement or your MalibuMakos.com account (if you have one), you may simply discontinue using our Services. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
