• With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of Very Good Cause Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purposes of providing and promoting the specific Very Good Cause Group to which such Content was submitted or made available.

"Publicly accessible" areas of the Service are those areas of the Very Good Cause network of properties that are intended by Very Good Cause to be available to the general public. By way of example, publicly accessible areas of the Service would include Very Good Cause Message Boards and portions of Very Good Cause Groups, Photos and Briefcase that are open to both members and visitors. However, publicly accessible areas of the Service would not include portions of Very Good Cause Groups, Photos, and Briefcase that are limited to members or visitors, Very Good Cause services intended for private communication such as Very Good Cause Mail or Very Good Cause Messenger, or areas off of the Very Good Cause network of properties such as portions of World Wide Web sites that are accessible through hypertext or other links but are not hosted or served by Very Good Cause.

You agree to indemnify and hold Very Good Cause and its affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or make available through the Service, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another.

Further, you agree that Very Good Cause is not liable to you or any third-party for termination of your account (including any associated email address), or termination of your access to the Service.

As Very Good Cause IDs and the related email addresses are the property of Very Good Cause, upon termination of your account the Very Good Cause I.D. or email address previously associated with your account will become available to other Very Good Cause users to select as their Very Good Cause I.D. While Very Good Cause will take reasonable steps as described in our Privacy Policy to secure the information provided by you prior to the termination of your account, you understand and agree that it is solely your responsibility and obligation to notify others that you no longer can be contacted at a particular terminated Very Good Cause I.D. or email address.
