Your use of Interactive Areas is at your own risk. As a provider of interactive services, Inkd is not liable for any statements, representations or User Content provided by its users on the Site, including without limitation through the Marketplace Service and in any public forum, personal home page or other Interactive Area. Although Inkd has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the User Content posted in any Interactive Area, Inkd reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Content posted or stored on the Site at any time and for any reason without notice, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any User Content (including Templates) you post or store on the Site at your sole cost and expense..
