Subject to Section 3 of these Terms, Boomity reserves the right to display advertisements in connection with User Submissions and to use User Submissions for advertising and promotional purposes. Boomity does not pre-screen User Submissions and you agree that you are solely responsible for all of your User Submissions.

You represent and warrant that your User Submissions and Boomity’s authorized use thereof do not and will not infringe the rights of any third party (including, without limitation, intellectual property rights, rights of privacy or publicity, or any other legal or moral rights).
All User Submissions contained in a private group will be deemed to be the “Confidential Information” of the individual or entity that has established such private group (the “Group Owner”). Boomity agrees that it will use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of providing the Boomity Network with respect to the private group to which such Confidential Information relates. In addition, Boomity agrees that it will disclose Confidential Information only to (a) Boomity’s employees and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of providing the Boomity Network, (b) individuals who have the appropriate password for the relevant private group and (c) individuals to whom the Group Owner has authorized or directed Boomity to disclose Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Boomity will not be in violation of this Section 3 with respect to a disclosure of Confidential Information that is in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body or that is otherwise required by law, provided that Boomity gives the Group Owner, if permitted by law, prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure and provides reasonable assistance to the Group Owner, at the Group Owner’s expense, in efforts by the Group Owner to obtain an order protecting such Confidential Information from public disclosure. Upon removal of a private group from the Boomity Network, Boomity will return to the Group Owner or destroy all copies of any Confidential Information from such private group in Boomity’s possession, provided that the Group Owner requests the same in writing within thirty (30) days after such removal. In no event will the following information be considered Confidential Information under this Section 3: (a) any information that was publicly known prior to the time of disclosure to Boomity; (b) any information that becomes publicly known after disclosure to Boomity other than as a result of a breach of this Section 3 by Boomity; (c) any information that is already in the possession of Boomity at the time of disclosure to Boomity; or (d) any information that is independently developed by Boomity.
