Members are solely responsible for everything contained in their own Chatisa Pages. Gearback does not verify, endorse or otherwise vouch for the contents of any Chatisa Page. Members can be held legally liable for the contents of their Chatisa Pages, and may be held legally accountable if their Chatisa Pages include, for example, material protected by copyright, trademark, patent or trade secret law without the permission of the author or owner or defamatory comments.

The member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Gearback for any loss, liability, claim, damage, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or in connection with the contents of the member's Chatisa Page, or use of the member's Gearback Email account.

In the event that Gearback receives a complaint that the contents of a personal home page infringe intellectual property rights or otherwise is unlawful, Gearback shall request written substantiation of the complaint from the complaining party, for example, substantiation of proof of ownership in the form of a trademark, service mark, patent or copyright registration and will take such steps that it believes to be appropriate under the circumstances, including, for example:

1- Suspend the site, or a portion of the site, immediately until the dispute is resolved;

2- Provide the member with contact information for the complaining party;

3- Instruct the member to contact the complaining party to resolve the dispute;

4- Inform the complaining party of our actions and ask that party to work directly with the member;
Note: All correspondence between the parties must also be sent to Gearback (address provided).

5- Take the following action based on the progress of the dispute:
If legal action is pending or the dispute is not settled, the site, or portions of the site, may remain suspended until resolution is reached and Gearback is notified by both parties as to the outcome;
If a resolution is reached between the parties, the site, or portions of the site, will be reactivated with any mutually agreed upon modifications.

If a copyright, trademark, patent, or other infringement is obvious (such as when pirated computer programs or information used to circumvent manufacturer-installed copy-protect devices, including serial or registration numbers for software programs or any type of cracker utility, is being distributed), Gearback also reserves the right, instead of following the above stated procedures, to delete all files and remove the member without any warning.

Gearback also reserves the following rights:

- To release current or past member information in the event Gearback believes that accounts are in violation of the terms of service or Chatisa content guidelines, used to commit unlawful acts, if the information is subpoenaed and/or if Gearback deems it necessary and/or appropriate;

- To deny membership to offenders of these guidelines or terms of service;

- To amend or change these guidelines at any time and without notice;

- To use images of homesteader pages for promotional and other commercial purposes.

We reserve the right to remove any page from the system which is brought to our attention and which we find, in our sole discretion, violates these Chatisa content guidelines, or otherwise is in violation of the law. Gearback does not actively monitor the content of Chatisa Pages, but will investigate complaints of violation of these guidelines. Please submit any such complaints using our Content Violation Reporting Form. Gearback is also not responsible for any loss of data resulting from our deletion of Chatisa Pages, network or system outages, file corruption or any other reasons.

We appreciate your interest and support of Gearback and we welcome you to our community.
