Upon performance of actions through, or use of, the Services, the personal details that you provided will be recorded. You are required to provide correct, accurate and full details and, by the fact of use of the Services, confirm the validity of the details provided.

If you publish your contact information in any User Submissions or as part of your Public Profile, you may receive unsolicited messages from other users of the Services or others. We therefore encourage you to only post information that you are sure you want to be accessible to anyone.
