If notified by the User or any other user of communications which allegedly do not conform to these Terms & Conditions of Use or, with respect to non-member users of any Company Site, which do not conform to the terms of use applicable to the public access areas of any Company Site, the Company may investigate the allegation and determine in its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the communication.

The Company reserves the right to remove communications that are abusive, illegal or disruptive.
