If you do not adhere to this Code of Conduct, we reserve the right to terminate your use of the Service and/or to remove any content posted by you on the Website. We reserve the right to take such action without first notifying you of our intention to do so.

THE CODE OF CONDUCT

You agree to abide by the following Code of Conduct when using the Service.
We provide the Service to you solely for your personal, private use. You undertake not to use the Service:
(a) for any unlawful purpose;
(b) in any way so that the Service is interrupted, damaged, rendered less efficient, or the functionality of the Service is in any way impaired;
(c) in any way that may damage or disrupt another user's computer;
(d) for the transmission, uploading or posting of any computer viruses or any other harmful or deleterious files or programs;
(e) to transmit, upload or post any material which is defamatory, offensive, racist, vulgar, libellous or of an obscene or menacing character, or in such a way as to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety;
(f) in any way that will affect us adversely or reflect negatively on MTVNE, its affiliates, the Website, our goodwill, name or reputation or cause duress, distress or discomfort to us or anyone else, or discourage any person, firm or enterprise from using all or any portion, features or functions of the Website, or from advertising, linking or becoming a supplier to us in connection with the Website;
(g) as a means to threaten, stalk, harass, abuse or otherwise insult other users or to collect or store personal data about other users;
(h) in a manner which constitutes a violation or infringement of any person, firm or company's rights (including but not limited to rights of copyright or confidentiality);
(i) to create a false identity for the purpose of misleading others as to the identity of the sender or the origin of a message, including, but not limited to impersonating an MTV employee, manager, host or another user; or
(j) to transmit, upload, post or otherwise make available any solicited or unauthorised advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail", "spam", "chain letters", "pyramid schemes" or any duplicative or unsolicited messages.

We do not control the content posted via users of the Service and as such, do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such content. Postings do not represent our views or those of any of our employees or representatives. By using the Service you acknowledge that you may be exposed to content that is offensive or objectionable. Furthermore, whilst we make every effort to test and check information and content on the website for viruses, we recommend that you run anti-virus programs on any such information and/or content obtained or accessed via the Website.

You acknowledge that we shall have the right (but not the obligation) to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any Posting, in whole or part, that MTVNE deems inappropriate for inclusion in the Service, for any reason or for no reason.

You understand, acknowledge and agree that Postings originating from any User ID are the sole responsibility of the individual associated with that User ID. This means that you, and not MTVNE, are entirely responsible for the consequences of all your Postings and other activity on the Service or otherwise on the Website. Under no circumstances will MTVNE be liable in any way for any content or any damage incurred as a result of you accessing any content posted or otherwise transmitted via the Service.

The Service is public and not private and you should assume your Postings may be read by others, with or without your knowledge or permission. MTVNE shall have no liability if unauthorised persons obtain access to the Service.

Your use of the Service is at your own risk and you should not disclose or make available your personal information in any Posting or in any part of the Service.
