While the Company does its best to create a safe and welcoming space for all members, the Company cannot guarantee that all members will follow these guidelines. The Company, in its sole discretion, may remove any member’s comments, posts, content, or materials, however, the Company does not have a duty to review all member comments, posts, content, and material shared within the Membership Program, including those made in any member communities.

You agree you will not share any recordings or third-party forum postings outside the private member areas. If the Company discovers you have done so, this will be grounds for immediate termination of your participation in the Membership Program and access to the Content.
