B. Rules for Communication and Anti-Spam Policy.
It is possible for Members to contact each other on the Website for reasons such as challenging each other to Challenges. In doing so, Members are obligated to only send messages that (i) are free of obvious or hidden advertisement, (ii) are neither subjective, intentionally false, derogatory, defamatory, immoral, nor pornographic in nature nor fulfill any other element of offense, (iii) are not damaging to any third parties, (iv) do not contain any viruses or computer programs that could affect the function of external computers, (v) are not surveys or chain letters, (vi) were not written with the intent to expand a certain political, ideological, or religious denomination, and (vii) were not written with the intent to collect, save, or use personal information from users without their explicit consent, especially for promotional purposes.
ModelBase opposes the practice commonly referred to as "Spam." If You are reported and a claim of "Spam" is validated by ModelBase against You, You will have Your Account either immediately TERMINATED or SUSPENDED, at the sole discretion of ModelBase. Additionally, any winnings, if any, may be voided at the sole discretion of ModelBase. ModelBase defines "Spam" as (i) electronic mail messages addressed to a recipient with whom the initiator does not have an existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient, (ii) messages posted to forum and message boards that are off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion), cross-posted to unrelated newsgroups, or posted in excessive volume; or (iii) solicitations posted to chat rooms, or to groups or individuals via Internet relay chat, via the ModelBase internal communication systems or "instant messaging" system.

D. Penalties for Abuse, Inappropriate Online Conduct and Violating ModelBase's Terms and Conditions.
ModelBase reserves the right to block, cancel or terminate Member Accounts without notice in cases of abusive behavior or suspicion of abuse, inappropriate online conduct, and/or for a violation of these Terms and Conditions, particularly in those instances detailed in sections 13(A) and 13(B). Upon the receipt of a credible and validated complaint, ModelBase may elect to immediately suspend or terminate Member's Account. (Suspension serves as a "final" warning and is intended to prevent You from continuing any abusive behavior.) If this occurs, then Challenges or Challenges which have already begun will be aborted by ModelBase and the results will not be evaluated; the Player in violation must then compensate ModelBase for any problems arising therefrom. ModelBase will evaluate each validated abuse incident on a case-by-case basis and impose suspension or termination at its sole discretion, and may void any associated winnings. ModelBase reserves the right to lift any suspension against You at any time, at its sole discretion. ModelBase reserves the right to institute civil or criminal proceedings against You and/or report You to the relevant regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
Furthermore, if a Player's Account is blocked or terminated then that Player is obligated to pay a contract penalty to ModelBase. The contract penalty shall be the average turnover profit that the Player generated per month for the last three months before the contract penalty. If the relationship has existed for less than three months, then the average will be taken from the full duration of contract. ModelBase reserves the right to withhold funds from the abusive Player's Account in compensation for damages to ModelBase or third-parties, as well as to pay for this contract penalty.
14. Circumvention.
You acknowledge and agree that You shall not circumvent or attempt to circumvent any of these Terms and Conditions, the Service or any Challenges offered through this Website or otherwise interrupt or attempt to interrupt the operations of the Website (collectively, a "Circumvention Act").

The provisions of these Terms and Conditions are intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms and Conditions, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

B. Rules for Communication and Anti-Spam Policy.
It is possible for Members to contact each other on the Website for reasons such as challenging each other to Challenges. In doing so, Members are obligated to only send messages that (i) are free of obvious or hidden advertisement, (ii) are neither subjective, intentionally false, derogatory, defamatory, immoral, nor pornographic in nature nor fulfill any other element of offense, (iii) are not damaging to any third parties, (iv) do not contain any viruses or computer programs that could affect the function of external computers, (v) are not surveys or chain letters, (vi) were not written with the intent to expand a certain political, ideological, or religious denomination, and (vii) were not written with the intent to collect, save, or use personal information from users without their explicit consent, especially for promotional purposes.

If You are reported and a claim of "Spam" is validated by ModelBase against You, You will have Your Account either immediately TERMINATED or SUSPENDED, at the sole discretion of ModelBase. Additionally, any winnings, if any, may be voided at the sole discretion of ModelBase.

D. Penalties for Abuse, Inappropriate Online Conduct and Violating ModelBase's Terms and Conditions.
ModelBase reserves the right to block, cancel or terminate Member Accounts without notice in cases of abusive behavior or suspicion of abuse, inappropriate online conduct, and/or for a violation of these Terms and Conditions, particularly in those instances detailed in sections 13(A) and 13(B). Upon the receipt of a credible and validated complaint, ModelBase may elect to immediately suspend or terminate Member's Account. (Suspension serves as a "final" warning and is intended to prevent You from continuing any abusive behavior.) If this occurs, then Challenges or Challenges which have already begun will be aborted by ModelBase and the results will not be evaluated; the Player in violation must then compensate ModelBase for any problems arising therefrom. ModelBase will evaluate each validated abuse incident on a case-by-case basis and impose suspension or termination at its sole discretion, and may void any associated winnings. ModelBase reserves the right to lift any suspension against You at any time, at its sole discretion. ModelBase reserves the right to institute civil or criminal proceedings against You and/or report You to the relevant regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
Furthermore, if a Player's Account is blocked or terminated then that Player is obligated to pay a contract penalty to ModelBase. The contract penalty shall be the average turnover profit that the Player generated per month for the last three months before the contract penalty. If the relationship has existed for less than three months, then the average will be taken from the full duration of contract. ModelBase reserves the right to withhold funds from the abusive Player's Account in compensation for damages to ModelBase or third-parties, as well as to pay for this contract penalty.
14. Circumvention.
You acknowledge and agree that You shall not circumvent or attempt to circumvent any of these Terms and Conditions, the Service or any Challenges offered through this Website or otherwise interrupt or attempt to interrupt the operations of the Website (collectively, a "Circumvention Act").

If for any reason any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms and Conditions, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
