Such sharing and its consequences (including but not limited to others reproducing or distributing your works without permission) shall not be deemed a breach by the Platform of any obligation under these Terms, and you should assess and bear the risks that such sharing may create.

Content provided by the Platform, including but not limited to audio, video, images, text and their combinations, as well as content and services licensed from third parties, is protected by the Copyright Act of the Republic of China (Taiwan).

While using the Platform, you may follow links from the LAVOYA Services to third-party websites or services, which may have their own terms or rules.

LAVOYA is not responsible for such websites or services; please assess and bear the related risks yourself.
