1.2 Advertiser further warrants and agrees that all Content submitted and/or posted is exempt from Section 2257 obligations, unless such Content is submitted for inclusion in the specific section on www.maturesensual.sexy reserved for Section 2257 Content. If such content is deemed not to be exempt from Section 2257, then Advertiser is solely responsible for the keeping of all records required by Section 2257 or as requested by MatureSensual. If demanded by MatureSensual, Advertiser shall promptly provide MatureSensual with the full legal name of its Records Custodian, and a copy of any and all age records required by Section 2257, relating to content posted on www.maturesensual.sexy . In addition, if Advertiser resides in a jurisdiction other than the United States (the “Foreign Jurisdiction”), or is submitting Content from a Foreign Jurisdiction, Advertiser shall keep all records as may be required under the laws of such Foreign Jurisdiction, in addition to any other obligations imposed hereunder.
1.3 Advertiser bears full and sole responsibility for the production, publication, and posting of the Content. Advertiser shall notify MatureSensual within one business day of first posting of any corrections, changes or deletions necessary thereto. No refunds or credits (which include credits, adjustments, coupons, and the like) are provided by MatureSensual and none should be expected by Advertiser.
(a) However, to the extent MatureSensual does provide a refund, MatureSensual , at its sole discretion, will either (i) issue a credit back to any credit card used to pay for the advertising service; or (ii) issue a refund check which will be mailed to the Advertiser of record at such Advertiser’s address on record.

At the end of a reporting period, as determined by MatureSensual in its sole discretion, MatureSensual will submit to Advertiser a report documenting the calculation of the advertising fee and such fee will be deducted from the retainer amount. MatureSensual ’s records, files, statistics, and reports will be the only basis for the calculation of the advertising fee, and are not subject to audit. Any questions concerning such calculation must be submitted within five (5) business days of MatureSensual ‘s submitting the report to Advertiser or such fee calculation will be deemed final. The parties acknowledge and agree that a variable fee model as described above is a common method for calculating an advertising fee between independent internet businesses and does not mean and does not imply that MatureSensual owns, controls, or has any influence over Advertiser’s business.

(d) Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Advertiser’s financial institution or vendor may impose a fee on Advertiser as a result of Advertiser paying its advertising or service fees to MatureSensual using such financial institution or vendor’s credit card or other payment method. Advertiser is advised to understand such fees in advance as Advertiser is solely responsible for payment of such fees. Additionally, Advertiser further agrees that MatureSensual’s stated prices will be listed in either dollar and cents (e.g. $10.99) or the cents will be rounded to the nearest dollar amount.

Advertiser acknowledges that until MatureSensual receives written notice of termination, that MatureSensual may utilize Advertiser’s Content in its archived section www.maturesensual.sexy but all contact information will be removed from such Content. After effective termination of license rights by Advertiser, MatureSensual shall remove any Content from www.maturesensual.sexy.

6.2 The parties acknowledge and agree that MatureSensual acts as a facilitator of communication for its third party advertisers. MatureSensual does not produce, design, or otherwise provide any content to its advertisers. As such, the parties acknowledge and agree that MatureSensual shall be deemed to be an Online Service Provider (“OSP”) as that term is defined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and shall also be deemed to be an Interactive Computer Service as that term is used in the Communications Decency Act. Nothing contained hereunder shall be interpreted as a waiver of rights in this regard. Advertiser shall give notice and comply with the notification procedures of the DMCA and agree that MatureSensual will have and shall fully benefit from the safe harbor provisions set forth in the DMCA regarding OSPs, along with the immunity, liability limitations, Good Samaritan defense and other provisions pertaining to providers and users of Interactive Computer Services set forth in 47 U.S.C. § 230 (c) et seq., the records keeping and labeling compliance exemptions contained in 18 U.S.C. §2257(a)(2)(B)(iii) & (iv), and all similar notice and other provisions limiting or otherwise insulating the liability of OSPs and providers or users of Interactive Computer Services pursuant to the statutory or decisional law of the United States, any state or territory thereof, or any jurisdiction’s laws that may apply in which Advertiser or Advertiser’s assigns elect to bring any claim against MatureSensual or any of MatureSensual’s assigns or sub-licensees of rights granted to MatureSensual hereunder.
6.3 Section 230 Notice: Advertiser acknowledges its responsibility to prevent minors under its care from accessing harmful or inappropriate material. Advertiser agrees not to allow minors to view any such content, and Advertiser agrees to take responsible measures to prevent them from doing so. Numerous commercial online safety filters are available which may help users limit minors’ access to harmful or inappropriate material. Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. §230(d), Advertiser is hereby informed that it can research such services at websites such as: https://www.getnetwise.org or https://www.child-internet-safety.com/internet_filters.php, among others. Please note that MatureSensual makes no representation or warranty regarding any of the products or services referenced on such sites, and MatureSensual recommends that Advertiser conducts appropriate due diligence before purchasing or installing any online filter. Advertiser agrees to take particular steps to prevent minors from viewing content on www.maturesensual.sexy if Advertiser’s computer or mobile device can be accessed by a minor. Finally, Advertiser agrees that if it is a parent or guardian of a minor child, it is Advertiser’s responsibility, not MatureSensual’s, to keep any age-restricted content on www.maturesensual.sexy from being displayed or accessed by Advertiser’s children or wards.
Pursuant to the Communications Decency Act (“CDA”), 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), and court decisions interpreting the scope of the CDA, Advertiser acknowledges and understands that MatureSensual operates as the provider of an Interactive Computer Service. Thus, MatureSensual is immune from, and cannot be held responsible for, claims arising from the publication or transmission of the Content of Advertisers and third parties. MatureSensual does not create such content, and is not responsible for the publication of remarks or communications of third-parties that may arguably rise to the level of being actionable under federal or state laws including, but not limited to, the publication of material that might be considered defamatory, or violative of privacy or publicity rights. Note, that federal law allows MatureSensual to remove or block any content found to be offensive, defamatory, obscene or otherwise violative of MatureSensual’s policies, without impacting MatureSensual’s status as the provider of an Interactive Computer Service. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit or alter the immunity from claims provided by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and no third parties are intended to benefit from this Agreement between Advertiser and MatureSensual.
