6. Escort-ads Functioning as Online Service Provider
6.1 Advertiser agrees that Advertiser is the creator and producer of its Content and is solely responsible for any Content that is posted on one or more of the outlets on the Escort-ads website, and accepts all obligations associated with the Content as described elsewhere in this Agreement.
6.2 The parties acknowledge and agree that Escort-ads acts as a facilitator of communication for its third party advertisers. Escort-ads does not produce, design, or otherwise provide any content to its advertisers. As such, the parties acknowledge and agree that Escort-ads shall be deemed to be an Online Service Provider (“OSP”) as that term is defined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and shall also be deemed to be an Interactive Computer Service as that term is used in the Communications Decency Act. Nothing contained hereunder shall be interpreted as a waiver of rights in this regard. Advertiser shall give notice and comply with the notification procedures of the DMCA and agree that Escort-ads will have and shall fully benefit from the safe harbor provisions set forth in the DMCA regarding OSPs, along with the immunity, liability limitations, Good Samaritan defense and other provisions pertaining to providers and users of Interactive Computer Services set forth in 47 U.S.C. § 230 (c) et seq., the records keeping and labeling compliance exemptions contained in 18 U.S.C. §2257(a)(2)(B)(iii) & (iv), and all similar notice and other provisions limiting or otherwise insulating the liability of OSPs and providers or users of Interactive Computer Services pursuant to the statutory or decisional law of the United States, any state or territory thereof, or any jurisdiction’s laws that may apply in which Advertiser or Advertiser’s assigns elect to bring any claim against Escort-ads.
6.3 Section 230 Notice: Advertiser acknowledges its responsibility to prevent minors under its care from accessing harmful or inappropriate material. Advertiser agrees not to allow minors to view any such content, and Advertiser agrees to take responsible measures to prevent them from doing so. Numerous commercial online safety filters are available which may help users limit minors' access to harmful or inappropriate material. Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. §230(d), Advertiser is hereby informed that it can research such services at websites such as among others. Please note that Escort-ads makes no representation or warranty regarding any of the products or services referenced on such sites, and Escort-ads recommends that Advertiser conducts appropriate due diligence before purchasing or installing any online filter. Advertiser agrees to take particular steps to prevent minors from viewing content on the Escort-ads website if Advertiser's computer or mobile device can be accessed by a minor. Finally, Advertiser agrees that if it is a parent or guardian of a minor child, it is Advertiser's responsibility, not Escort-ads's, to keep any age-restricted content on the Escort-ads website from being displayed or accessed by Advertiser's children or wards.
Pursuant to the Communications Decency Act ("CDA"), 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), and court decisions interpreting the scope of the CDA, Advertiser acknowledges and understands that Escort-ads operates as the provider of an Interactive Computer Service. Thus, Escort-ads is immune from, and cannot be held responsible for, claims arising from the publication or transmission of the Content of Advertisers and third parties. Escort-ads does not create such content, and is not responsible for the publication of remarks or communications of third-parties that may arguably rise to the level of being actionable under federal or state laws including, but not limited to, the publication of material that might be considered defamatory, or violative of privacy or publicity rights. Note, that federal law allows Escort-ads to remove or block any content found to be offensive, defamatory, obscene or otherwise violative of Escort-ads's policies, without impacting Escort-ads's status as the provider of an Interactive Computer Service. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit or alter the immunity from claims provided by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and no third parties are intended to benefit from this Agreement between Advertiser and Escort-ads.
