The inclusion of any such Submitted Content on the Site does not imply endorsement or sponsorship by ORM or such Submitted Content and ORM expressly disclaims any and all liability for Submitted Content. You are solely responsible for any and all consequences of any such activities, transactions and relationships that you may conduct or form with others regardless of whether such transactions were introduced, contemplated, or completed as a result of the Site.  Any purchases that you make from such third parties or users who have advertised on or through the Site are made at your own risk and ORM expressly disclaims all warranties and guarantees, express or implied, with respect to such purchases.

Our Services may be used only for lawful purposes. Transmission, posting, distribution or storage of material or conduct in violation of any Laws strictly prohibited. You agree not to use the Site in any manner which causes any Infringement Violations of ORM or any third party. You shall be solely responsible for any violations of any Laws and for any Infringement Violations of ORM or any third party rights caused by You. The burden of proving that your activities in connection with the Site do not violate any Laws or cause any Infringement Violations rests solely with You.

12. Violations. ORM may investigate reports of abuse or misuse and, if appropriate, limit or prohibit Your use of the Site or modify Your user profile to reflect its determinations. You agree that we may access Your Account and records on a case-by-case basis to investigate complaints or allegations of abuse, infringement of third party rights, or other unauthorized use of the Site. ORM does not intend to disclose the existence or occurrence of such an investigation unless required by law, but ORM reserves the right to terminate Your Account or Your access to the site immediately, with or without notice to You, if we believe You have violated any terms of this Agreement, furnished ORM with false or misleading information, or interfered with use of the Site by others. All determinations are final and are made at ORM's sole discretion. In agreeing to this Agreement, You agree to participate in investigations and be bound by ORM's determinations. If ORM, in its sole discretion, determines that a violation of this Agreement has occurred, or if ORM believes that Your actions may cause legal liability for You, our users or us, ORM may take any actions or pursue any legal remedies that it believes are necessary or prudent, including, but not limited to, issuing a warning, filing a complaint, deleting any posted material from our Site, suspending or canceling Your Account, releasing User Information, filing a report with the appropriate authorities and/or excluding any person(s) who may have violated any terms of this Agreement. ORM may cooperate with any investigation by any federal, state, or local body or any court or tribunal. Such cooperation may be with or without notice to You. We will take each reported Account into consideration during the investigation process before making a decision.

13. Linking Policy. ORM has entered into arrangements with certain third party website owners which allow us to place on such third party’s site (“Third Party Site”), and allows the third party to place on our Site, a hyperlink (a “Link”) or a banner advertisement (“Banner Ad”) containing a Link which allows our respective users to connect to the home page of Third Party Sites or this Site, as applicable. These Links and Banner Ads are provided for the benefit of the users of the Site. A Link or Banner Ad to or from a Third Party Site does not imply that ORM endorses the content on or the business of the Third Party Site. User is solely responsible for determining the integrity and reliability of the information on the Third Party site. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on any Third Party Site. We will not, and are under no obligation to, investigate, monitor or check the Third Party Sites for accuracy or completeness, or for any obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, indecent, profane, defamatory or unlawful content or materials. If you decide to leave the Site and access a Third Party Site, you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible for the privacy policies applicable to Third Party Sites. Once you link to a Third Party Site, the ORM Privacy Policy stated on this Site is no longer in effect. We may at any time revise this Linking Policy. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit this Agreement to review the then-current Linking Policy to which you are bound.
