If you use our Services, create content or upload files to DBLSQD, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available (any such material, "Content") through our Services, you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct. That is the case regardless of what form the Content takes, which includes, but is not limited to text, photo, video, audio, software, or code.
