13. Section 230 Notice

A. Immunity from Liability

YPN PR Newswire operates as an interactive online service provider and is entitled to protections under Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230). This statute grants immunity for certain content published or transmitted by third parties through our Services.

You also agree to compensate the Company for any expenses incurred as a result of your action.

B. Notification

Under Section 230, we are required to inform you that parental control technologies, such as filters, monitoring tools, and restriction software, are available to assist parents or guardians in limiting minors’ access to online content.

Common examples include Bark, Qustodio, Net Nanny, Norton Family, Google Family Link (Android), and Apple’s Screen Time. YPN PR Newswire does not endorse or recommend any specific service but provides this information in compliance with Section 230(c).

C. Publisher Role

Certain Services may allow users to publish or upload material, including articles, press releases, opinions, or comments (“Submissions”). YPN PR Newswire reserves the right to review, modify, or remove any Submission at its sole discretion.

When content is posted or distributed through our Services, whether by you or others, YPN PR Newswire acts as a publisher of third-party content, as defined under Section 230.

D. Publication Decisions

For Services such as press release distribution, YPN PR Newswire may collaborate with affiliate networks, media outlets, and third-party partners to maximize visibility.

If a channel partner, third party, or recipient raises an objection or submits a complaint about a Submission, our policy is to promptly remove or suspend the content. In cases involving multiple violations of our Terms, Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), or Service Agreements, YPN PR Newswire may terminate your account or paid access without notice or refund.

E. Removal Determinations

Given the high volume of Submissions received, not all content subject to complaint may be reviewed or removed.

Failure to remove a Submission does not imply endorsement, approval, or review of the material. You expressly waive any claim suggesting that our decision to retain or remove content indicates approval or validation of that content.

F. Promissory Estoppel

Your relationship with YPN PR Newswire is defined exclusively by these Terms and any executed Service Agreement.

Any promise, assurance, or communication not contained in these documents, or not expressly confirmed in writing on Company letterhead, signed by an authorized corporate officer, and citing this Section, shall not constitute a binding agreement or promissory estoppel.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that YPN PR Newswire, its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners, and agents (“Company Entities”) shall not be liable for any form of damages or losses, whether direct or indirect, arising from your use of our Services, websites, or materials.

This includes but is not limited to:

• Loss of profits, revenue, or data

• Business interruption or goodwill loss

• Reputational damage

1. The publication, refusal, or retraction of any content or submission;

2. Any outcomes or results generated through our Services;

3. Any ratings, summaries, or classifications derived in whole or in part from AI or third-party systems.

If liability is ever established despite these limitations, the total amount recoverable from the Company Entities shall not exceed the lesser of USD $100 or the total amount you paid to YPN PR Newswire or its affiliates within the preceding six (6) months for the specific Service giving rise to the claim.

These limitations shall apply even if any stated remedy is deemed to have failed in its essential purpose.
