Rights and Responsibilities of Government Marketing University:
Government Marketing University is not the publisher or author of any works posted on P2P. It is a passive service for storage and dissemination of the works that Government Marketing University users may choose to post and distribute via P2P. Government Marketing University does not screen works before they are posted, and no prior approval is required for posting. Government Marketing University disclaims all copyright and ownership in such works and all responsibility for them.
Although it cannot make an absolute guarantee of system security, Government Marketing University takes reasonable steps to maintain security. If you have reason to believe system security has been breached, contact us by email for help.
If the Government Marketing University technical staff finds that files or processes belonging to a user pose a threat to the proper technical operation of the system or to the security of other users, Government Marketing University reserves the right to delete those files or to stop those processes. If the Government Marketing University technical staff suspects an account is being used by someone who is not authorized by the account holder, Government Marketing University may temporarily disable that account to preserve system security. In all such cases, Government Marketing University will contact the user as soon as feasible.
Government Marketing University has the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (i) edit, redact, or otherwise change the content of any works posted on P2P, (ii) re-categorize any post to place it in a more appropriate category, or (iii) delete any post that is determined to be inappropriate, including but not limited to works that use offensive language and works that are advertisements.
Rights and Responsibilities of Government Marketing University Users or Other Posters to P2P:
You are legally and ethically responsible for any works – writings, files, pictures, or any other work – that you post or transmit on P2P (or any other Government Marketing University service that allows interaction or dissemination of information). In posting works on P2P, you are responsible for honoring the rights of others, including intellectual-property rights (copyright, patent, and trademark), the right to privacy, the right not to be libeled or slandered.
