You undertake not to do any act or thing which is inconsistent with or which is likely in any way to prejudice such title. Unauthorized use of this website may give rise to a claim for damages and/or be a criminal offence. There are two types of Submissions: Solicited Submissions and Unsolicited Submissions. "Solicited Submissions" means those Submissions (a) that we expressly request or enable you to provide to us via any feature or activity on a Site for our review or display and possible specifically-defined consideration or compensation (collectively, "Consideration") (such as prizes or other value in games, sweepstakes, contests and promotions); and (b) that you distribute on or through any of the Sites for which you do not seek Consideration (such as in our Guest Services and in Public Forums (as defined below in Section 5, entitled "PUBLIC FORUMS AND COMMUNICATION")). "Unsolicited Submissions" are any and all Submissions that do not fall within subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this paragraph. If, despite our request, you intentionally or unintentionally send us Unsolicited Submissions on or through any of the Sites, you do so even though there is no agreement whatsoever between us regarding any consideration or review of your Unsolicited Submissions or any compensation or consideration of any type. In fact, you agree that any Submissions you make are not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of any review, compensation or consideration of any type.
