SVBS currently does not operate messageboards or any type of forum where you can post Content on the Site for sharing with other users or members of the public. However, SVBS may consider creating online messageboards to help students exchange questions and answers in future. In the eventuality, you will be posting content on the Site.

You are solely responsible for the content of your information, and SVBS acts merely as a conduit for its distribution and publication. You agree to remove out-of-date and inaccurate listings and content you have submitted to the Site.

We have the right, in our sole discretion, to accept or reject content for inclusion on the Service at any time.

SVBS does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant SVBS the following world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive license(s), as applicable:
a. With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of SVBS Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purposes of providing and promoting the specific SVBS Group to which such Content was submitted or made available.

11—Identity Verification

We use techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site.

If you are a California resident, or the business entity you represent is subject to California law, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
