User Content Proprietary Rights
When you post User Content to the Site, you authorize and direct us to make such copies thereof as we deem necessary in order to facilitate the posting and storage of the User Content on the Site.

By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose on or in connection with the Company and the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing.

User Disputes
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users on the Site. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other users.

No Duty to Monitor
PSErotica acts only as a forum and technical interface between Users and we are not required to verify the qualifications of Users, nor are we required to evaluate, control or monitor in any ongoing manner exchanges between users, although we reserve the right to do so in our sole discretion. Users must use their own judgment in evaluating the qualifications of and statements made by Users. Any opinions expressed by a User are of those of the User alone, and are not to be attributed to us. We cannot and do not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, safety, timeliness, legality or applicability of anything said or written by any User. There are risks of dealing with underage persons, or persons acting under false pretenses. Authentication on the Internet is difficult, and accordingly, we cannot always confirm that each User is whom they claim to be or that they can deliver services or make payments. Users' information might be offensive, harmful, untimely, inaccurate and/or deceptive and, accordingly, you agree to exercise caution, discretion and common sense when using PSErotica.

Information, advice, opinions or comments expressed by any User via PSErotica are not intended to substitute for informed professional advice. You should not use PSErotica for emergency purposes or to seek or provide diagnosis or treatment of medical, psychiatric or psychological problems, or as a substitute for face-to-face professional consultation. If you have a medical or psychiatric emergency, call your physician or 911 immediately. PSErotica is not a referral service and we do not endorse or recommend the use of any professional services. You must use your judgment to determine when it is necessary to consult with a provider who is local, licensed in your state or country, available in person, or otherwise possesses qualities required to properly diagnose or advise you, especially in areas of expertise such as medicine, law, accounting, psychological counseling, investment, tax or other financial advice, requiring government or regulatory licensing or certification, or for high risk activities.

You may upgrade or downgrade your service subscription at anytime. The fees applicable for the Service are as published on the Site, and all fees are exclusive of all taxes or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Services are billed in advance and in accordance with the payment schedule you select. We will continue to bill your account or invoice you automatically. All payments rendered are non-refundable. Refunds and/or credits cannot be issued for unused partial months or periods pre-paid in advance. Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of data, features, or capacity of your Account. We do not accept any liability for such loss.

Termination of Service

You can cancel your account at anytime by clicking on the Deactivation link from your Account Settings page. If you cancel the Service before the end of your billing period, your cancellation will take effect immediately and you will not be charged again. Upon cancellation, we may destroy all data that were created and accessed during your subscription to the Service. We reserve the right to terminate without notice your Account or use of the Service and delete any data within PSErotica, in our sole discretion, without cause and/or without notice.
