US Dollars, and we may change them from time to time. Our fees are non-refundable, and you are responsible for paying them when they're due. If you don't, we may limit your ability to use the services. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms (for accounts over 180 days past due, we may deduct the amount owed from your PayPal account balance). If uclassifieds.net terminates your

- Proprietary Rights in Content on uclassifieds.net.
- uclassifieds.net does not claim any ownership rights in the text,
files, images, photos, video, sounds, musical works, works of
authorship, or any other materials (collectively, "Content")
that you post to the uClassifieds Services. After posting your Content
to the uClassifieds Services, you continue to retain all ownership
rights in such Content, and you continue to have the right to
use your Content in any way you choose. By displaying or
publishing ("posting") any Content on or through the uClassifieds
Services, you hereby grant to uclassifieds.net a limited license to
use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and
distribute such Content solely on and through the uClassifieds
Services.
Without this license, uclassifieds.net would be unable to provide
the uClassifieds Services. For example, without the right to modify
Member Content, uclassifieds.net would not be able to digitally
compress music files that Members submit or otherwise format
Content to satisfy technical requirements, and without the right
to publicly perform Member Content, uclassifieds.net could not allow
Users to listen to music posted by Members. The license you
grant to uclassifieds.net is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to
license your Content to anyone else in addition to uclassifieds.net),
fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that uclassifieds.net is not
required to pay you for the use on the uClassifieds Services of the
Content that you post), sub-licensable (so that uclassifieds.net is able
to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as Internet
content delivery networks to provide the uClassifieds Services), and
worldwide (because the Internet and the uClassifieds Services are
global in reach). This license will terminate at the time you
remove your Content from the uClassifieds Services. The license does
not grant uclassifieds.net the right to sell your Content, nor does the
license grant uclassifieds.net the right to distribute your Content
outside of the uClassifieds Services.
- You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content
posted by you on or through the uClassifieds Services or otherwise have
the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and
(ii) the posting of your Content on or through the uClassifieds
Services does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights,
copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person.
You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies
owing any person by reason of any Content posted by you to or
through the uClassifieds Services.
- The uClassifieds Services contain Content of uclassifieds.net ("uclassifieds.net
Content"). uclassifieds.net Content is protected by copyright,
trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and uclassifieds.net
owns and retains all rights in the uclassifieds.net Content and the
uClassifieds Services. uclassifieds.net hereby grants you a limited,
revocable, nonsub-licensable license to reproduce and display the
uclassifieds.net Content (excluding any software code) solely for your
personal use in connection with viewing the uClassifieds Website and
using the uClassifieds Services.
- The uClassifieds Services contain Content of Users and other

the uClassifieds Services for inappropriate Content or conduct. If at
any time uclassifieds.net chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor
the uClassifieds Services, uclassifieds.net nonetheless assumes no
responsibility for the Content, no obligation to modify or

reviewed by uclassifieds.net prior to posting and does not necessarily
reflect the opinions or policies of uclassifieds.net. uclassifieds.net makes
no warranties, express or implied, as to the Content or to the
accuracy and reliability of the Content or any material or
information that you transmit to other Members.

partial list of the kind of Content that is illegal or prohibited to
