You are welcome to post, transmit or submit messages and other materials (which include uploading files, inputting data or any other materials or engaging in any form of communication in connection with this Site) (collectively "Messages") to bulletin boards, chat rooms or other public areas within, or in connection with, this Site (collectively "Forums"). However, FTS accepts no responsibility whatsoever in connection with or arising from such Messages.

FTS does not endorse and has no control over the content of Messages submitted by others to Forums. Messages submitted to Forums are not necessarily reviewed by FTS prior to posting and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of FTS. FTS makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the content of the Messages in the Forums or the accuracy and reliability of any Messages and other materials in the Forums. Nonetheless, FTS reserves the right to prevent you from submitting Materials to Forums and to edit, restrict, or remove such Messages for any reason at any time.

FTS assumes no responsibility for actively monitoring Forums for inappropriate Messages. If at any time FTS chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Forums, FTS nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the content of the Messages, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Messages, and no responsibility for the conduct of the user submitting any Message. In submitting Messages to Forums, you agree to strictly limit yourself to discussions about the subject matter for which the Forums are intended. You agree that FTS accepts no liability whatsoever if it determines to prevent your Messages from being submitted or if it edits, restricts or removes your Messages. You also agree to permit any other user of this Site to access, view, store, or reproduce the material for that other user’s personal use and not to restrict or inhibit the use of the Site by any other person.

You agree that you will not submit Messages to Forums that:

• are unlawful, threatening, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent, including any communication that constitutes (or encourages conduct that would constitute) a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability, or otherwise violates any local, state, national, or international law;
• violate the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of any other person. By submitting Messages to Forums, you represent to FTS that you are the rightful owner of such material or that you have first obtained permission to submit the material from the rightful owner;
• improperly assume or claim the identity, characteristics, or qualifications of another person;
• are for purposes of spamming;
• contain any virus or other harmful component;
• are libelous, or an invasion of privacy or publicity rights or any other third party rights; or
• are for commercial purposes or contain advertising or are intended to solicit a person to buy or sell services or to make donations.

You agree that any Message whatsoever submitted by you becomes the property of FTS and may be used, copied, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, publicly performed, published, displayed, or deleted as FTS sees fit.

You agree to release FTS, its parents and affiliates together with their respective employees, agents, officers, directors, and shareholders, from any and all liability and obligations whatsoever in connection with or arising from your use of Forums. If at any time you are not happy with the Forums or object to any material within Forums, your sole remedy is to cease using them.

FTS does not knowingly accept unsolicited submissions including, without limitation, submissions of scripts, story lines, articles, fan fiction, characters, drawings, information, suggestions, ideas or concepts. FTS’s policy is to simply delete any such submission without reading it or forwarding it to other FTS staff or to any other unit of Fox. Therefore, any similarity between an unsolicited submission and any elements in any FTS or other Fox creative work including, without limitation, a film, series, story, title, or concept would be purely coincidental.

If unsolicited submissions are sent to FTS via this Site, however, these submissions become the property of FTS and may be used, copied, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, publicly performed, published, displayed, or deleted as FTS sees fit. You agree that you are not entitled to any compensation, credit, or notice whatsoever and that by sending an unsolicited submission you waive the right to make any claim against FTS, its parents, or affiliates relating to unsolicited submissions, including, without limitation, unfair competition, breach of implied contract, or breach of confidentiality.

FTS also reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to forward the information you submit to its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates for legitimate business purposes. Nothing in these Terms of Use or contained in the Site shall constitute a promise by FTS to interview, hire, or employ any individual who submits information to it, nor shall anything in these Terms of Use or contained in the Site constitute a promise that FTS will review any or all of the information submitted to it by users.
