Providers
Subject
to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, Third Party Sites
that meet the requirements set forth below may place a Share Link (as
described below), in the form approved by Company, on pages of their
web sites to facilitate use of the Share Service. A Third Party Site
that posts a Share Link on its web site is referred to herein as an

the applicable sections of these Terms of Use. A "Share Link"
is a button and/or a text link appearing on an Online Content
Provider's web page that, upon being clicked by a user, enables us to
launch a sharing mechanism through which users can share with others
or post to their own member profile, links and content from that
page.

in the current form provided by the Company. In the event that the
Share Link is a text link, it must include the word "Matingcall.com"
as part of the link. The rights granted in this paragraph may be
revoked by Company at any time with or without cause in its sole
discretion, and upon such termination, Online Content Provider agrees
to immediately remove all Share Links from its site.
In
order for an Online Content Provider to include a Share Link on its
pages, the Third Party Site must not contain any web content that if
shared or posted by a user would be a violation of the user conduct
rules set forth above. Without limiting the forgoing, Online Content
Provider agrees not to post a Share Link on any web site that
contains, and represents and warrants that such web site does not and
will not contain, any content that is infringing, harmful,
threatening, unlawful, defamatory, abusive, inflammatory, harassing,
vulgar, obscene, lewd, fraudulent, or invasive of privacy or
publicity rights or that may expose Company or its users to any harm
or liability of any type. Upon including of a Share Link, Online
Content Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Company,
its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their directors,
officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from
and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in
connection with such Share Link, any links, content or other items or
materials which may be shared or posted through such Share Link, or
any breach or alleged breach of the foregoing representations and
warranties.
By
including a Share Link, Online Content Provider automatically grants,
and represents and warrants that it has the right to grant, to the
Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully
paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use the
Share Service in order to link to, use, copy, publish, stream,
publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in
whole or in part), summarize, and distribute the content, links and
other materials of any kind residing on any web pages on which Online
Content Provider places the Share Link.
