We do not own any User Content and will not monitor, edit, or disclose any information regarding you or your User Account without your prior permission except in accordance with this Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right, solely at our own discretion, to refuse, remove, or disable access to User Content that Sphaera learns may be illegal or may violate the Terms of Use, although it has no obligation to do so. Our action or inaction to regulate Content or conduct or to enforce against any potential violation of these Terms of Use by any User (or any other third- party) does not waive our right to implement or not implement regulation or enforcement measures with respect to any subsequent or similar content, conduct, or potential Terms of Use violation.
