You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have all rights necessary to submit it and that it does not violate any law or the rights of any third party.

User Content includes private messages you send through the Service. Messages are visible only to the participants of their conversation, but they are not end-to-end encrypted (see the Privacy Policy), a participant may report a conversation to us for review, and the Acceptable Use rules below apply to private messages the same as to public content.
