User Content; License Grant
a. Forums for User Content. BIC’s Site and Services may provide you and other users the ability to post, upload email, transmit, or otherwise make available content, including written content and images (collectively, “User Content”). You understand agree that any User Content that you post, upload or otherwise make available will be viewable, accessible and used by BIC and others and that once posted or uploaded you may not have any privacy or other protections for such User Content. You are therefore advised to exercise caution before posting or uploading any confidential or proprietary information or images that you would not otherwise want third parties to see, access or use. All User Content is the sole responsibility of the entity or person that makes it available. BIC assumes no responsibility for the access and/or use of User Content by third parties.

BIC may reserve the right to remove, take down and/or refuse to display User Content that violates BIC’s Terms or applicable laws or regulations or otherwise is objectionable to BIC in our sole discretion, but that such right does not mean that BIC monitors the Site and Services or review or screen any User Content.
