ShiaTV does not endorse any User Submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and ShiaTV expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Submissions.

ShiaTV also reserves the right to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to, pornography, obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length. ShiaTV may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a User's access for uploading such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
D. In particular, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any User Submission or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification to us at >[email protected]

Impression and Click Fraud
You shall not, and shall not authorize any party to generate automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid impressions or clicks. If, in ShiaTV's reasonable business judgment, activity related to your Account is suspected or determined to be so-called "click-fraud" or "impression fraud" (the illicit manipulation of advertising revenue), whether in any automated or human way, by the use of a person, an automated script or a computer program (for example, online robots or "bots") to click on a Site advertisements, or any other fraudulent means, to increase impressions, skew results or imitate a legitimate user of a web browser clicking on an ad for the purpose of generating an improper click value and generating revenue, ShiaTV may suspend or otherwise disable your Account until such time as the matter is resolved to ShiaTV's satisfaction. You acknowledge that ShiaTV, or a third-party designated by ShiaTV, may use cookies to monitor visitor information in order to track suspicious clicks through source and behavior of the click traffic in accordance with the Privacy Policy. ShiaTV retains the right not to credit your Account for those clicks that it reasonably determines or suspects are fraudulent.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ShiaTV, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Service; (b) your violation of any of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (d) any claim that any Content uploaded, posted, transmitted or otherwise made available by you via the Service caused damage to a third party. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms and your use of the Service.
