   In addition, the PLI Entities have no control over, and shall have no liability for, any damages resulting from the use (including republication) or misuse by any third party information voluntarily made public through a Forum or any other part of the Services.  IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE ANY OF YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE OR OTHER INFORMATION PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN A FORUM OR OTHERWISE ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

10. You hereby represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant the foregoing rights and licenses.  For purpose of clarification, PLI has the right, but does not have an obligation, to Use your Submissions and Likeness.    Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, if you provide us with any ideas, proposals, suggestions or materials (including training materials) (“Input”), whether related to the Services or otherwise, you hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) your provision of any Input is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and does not place PLI under any fiduciary or other obligation; and (b) any Input is not confidential and PLI has no confidentiality obligations with respect to such Input.  Without limiting the foregoing, all Input shall be deemed a Submission and licensed to us pursuant to Section 9, above.
    
    
11. We may and expressly reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor, review, store, evaluate, alter or remove any information (including any Submissions or any messages, information, content or other materials sent to you, or received by you, in connection with the Services, or their features and functionalities), at any time before or after it appears on or in connection with any of the Services, and to monitor, review or analyze your access to or use of the Services, in each case by manual, automated or other means, and in each case for any purpose, including such purposes as may be described in our Privacy Policy.  We may disclose any such information (including any Submissions) and the circumstances surrounding its transmission to anyone for any reason or purpose.

13. Purchases; Returns; Upkeep Service. We may make available products and services for purchase through the Services, and we may use third-party suppliers and service providers to enable e-commerce functionality on the Services.  If you wish to purchase any product or service made available by us through the Services or through our telephone, mail-order, telemarketing efforts, customer service representatives, account representatives or other sales channels (each such purchase, a “Transaction”), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information.  YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION.  By submitting such information, you grant to PLI the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of Transactions initiated by you or on your behalf.  Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any Transaction.

As part of the Services, we may provide you with a tool, called My Credit Tracker, to assist you in tracking, managing, and inputting information related to your CLE credit compliance progress.  My Credit Tracker is provided solely for your convenience and is intended merely to supplement, rather than to replace, your own system and processes for tracking and managing your CLE credit compliance.
    
    IF YOU ACCESS OR USE PLI’S MY CREDIT TRACKER SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU REMAIN SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING TIMELY COMPLIANCE WITH ALL CLE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO YOU, INCLUDING TRACKING, MANAGING, AND RETAINING ALL RECORDS AND CONTENT RELATED TO SUCH COMPLIANCE.

We attempt to ensure that information provided by PLI on or in connection with the Services is complete, accurate, and current.  Despite our efforts, such information may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.  Accordingly, we make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy, or currency of such information, including all descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, products, and prices of products and services described or depicted on the Services.  Such information is also subject to change at any time without notice.  Descriptions and images of, and references to, third-party products or services available in connection with the Services do not imply PLI’s endorsement of such third-party products or services.  Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only.  The inclusion of any products or services on the Services at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available at any time.  It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the possession, use and sale of any item purchased from or in connection with the Services.  By placing an order, you represent that the products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner.
    
    
16. Third Party Content; Links. The Services may incorporate certain functionality that allows the routing and transmission of, and online access to, certain digital communications and content made available by third parties, including social media providers (such communications and content, “Third Party Content”).  By using such functionality, you acknowledge and agree that you are directing us to access and transmit to you Third Party Content associated with such functionality.  The Services may provide or incorporate links to other web sites and online resources that include Third Party Content.  Because we do not control Third Party Content, you agree that the PLI Entities are neither responsible nor liable for any Third Party Content, including the accuracy, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness, or safety of, or intellectual property rights relating to, Third Party Content.  We have no obligation to monitor Third Party Content, and we may block or disable access to any Third Party Content (in whole or part) via the Services at any time.  Your access to or receipt of Third Party Content via the Services does not imply our endorsement of, or our affiliation with any provider of, such Third Party Content. Further, your use of Third Party Content may be governed by additional terms and conditions that are not set forth in this Agreement or our Privacy Policy (for example, terms and conditions that are made available by the providers of such Third Party Content).  This Agreement does not create any legal relationship between you and the providers of such Third Party Content with respect to such Third Party Content, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty by any of the PLI Entities with respect to any Third Party Content.  YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE APPLICABLE TO SUCH THIRD PARTY CONTENT.

23. Copyright Infringement Claims.
