The Website may be supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions, and you hereby agree that PERL may place such advertising and promotions on the Website or on, about, or in conjunction with your Content.

PERL Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and, as between you and PERL, PERL owns and retains all rights in the PERL Content and the Website. You will not remove, alter or conceal any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the PERL Content and you will not reproduce, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works based on, perform, display, publish, distribute, transmit, broadcast, sell, license or otherwise exploit the PERL Content.

In addition, all page headers, custom graphics, button icons and scripts are service marks, trademarks and/or trade dress of PERL, and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without prior written permission from PERL.
Although it is PERL’s intention for the Website to be available as much as possible, there will be occasions when the Website may be interrupted, including, without limitation, for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, for emergency repairs, or due to failure of telecommunications links and/or equipment. Also, PERL reserves the right to remove any Content from the Website for any reason, without prior notice. Content removed from the Website may continue to be stored by PERL, including, without limitation, in order to comply with certain legal obligations, but may not be retrievable without a valid court order. Consequently, PERL encourages you to maintain your own backup of your Content. In other words, PERL is not a backup service and you agree that you will not rely on the Website for the purposes of Content backup or storage.

You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with PERL is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit any Content does not place PERL in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public, including with regard to your Content. None of your Content will be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of PERL, and PERL will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Content you provide.
It is PERL’s policy not to accept or consider content, information, ideas, suggestions or other materials other than those we have specifically requested and to which certain specific terms, conditions and requirements may apply. This is to avoid any misunderstandings if your ideas are similar to those we have developed or are developing independently. Accordingly, PERL does not accept unsolicited materials or ideas, and takes no responsibility for any materials or ideas so transmitted. If, despite our policy, you choose to send us content, information, ideas, suggestions, or other materials, you further agree that PERL is free to use any such content, information, ideas, suggestions or other materials, for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing and marketing products and services, without any liability or payment of any kind to you. You further acknowledge that it is in PERL’s sole discretion to share, reproduce, publish, or post on the Website any Content submitted by you or on your behalf.
