Acronym or any of its employees do not accept or consider unsolicited ideas, including ideas for new advertising campaigns, marketing strategies, new or improved products, technologies, services, processes, materials, or new product names.

Please do not send your unsolicited ideas to Acronym or anyone at Acronym. If, in spite of our request that you not send us your ideas, you still send them, then regardless of what your posting, email, letter, or other transmission may say, (1) your idea will automatically become the property of Acronym, without any compensation to you; (2) Acronym will have no obligation to return your idea to you or respond to you in any way; (3) Acronym will have no obligation to keep your idea confidential; and (4) Acronym may use your idea for any purpose whatsoever, including giving your idea to others.

15. General Provisions
a. Entire Agreement/No Waiver.
Except for any written agreement separately executed between us and relating to Service Content, this is the entire Agreement between us relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes and any all prior or contemporaneous written or oral representations, communications or agreements between us. No waiver by Acronym of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
b. Correction of Errors and Inaccuracies.
The Content may contain typographical errors or other errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. Before making or being entitled to any claim for damages or equitable relief, you agree to provide Acronym with prior written notices of any claim that any Content is defamatory, untrue or otherwise exposes Acronym to any liability or obligation to you, so that Acronym may have a reasonable opportunity to respond and cure any such alleged claim, in a manner similar to the procedure for notification of alleged copyright claims. Acronym therefore reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update the Content at any time without prior notice. Acronym does not, however, guarantee that any errors, inaccuracies or omissions will be corrected.
c. Enforcement/ Choice of Law/ Choice of Forum.
If any part of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not impact any other provision of this Agreement, all of which will remain in full force and effect. Any and all disputes relating to this Agreement, Acronym’s Privacy Policy, your use of the Site, any other Acronym web site, the Service, or the Content are governed by, and will be interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict of laws provisions. You agree to submit all such disputes to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the City of New York, New York, USA and agree to receive legal process by certified or registered mail, certified receipt at the address set forth in your registration with the Site.
d. Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by us on this Site infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Such notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to [email protected]. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing any notice or counter-notice. You should also be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
e. Territorial Limitations.
We make no representation that the Site or its content is appropriate or available for use in locations other than the United States. Those who choose to access the Site from locations other than from within the United States do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Site and/or the provision of any service, information or product thereon to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction we so desire, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any such service, information or product that we provide.
