The Operator reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to pre-screen, flag, filter, refuse, modify, or remove any content available via the Site for violating the Terms or on the grounds that such content is objectionable. Notwithstanding, the Operator is not an information content provider as defined by Australian law and is immune from any liability for Content on the Site to the extent allowed under applicable law.

You understand that the Operator does not control, does not take part in creating or generating, and is not responsible for the development of Content made available through the Site.

3. PROHIBITED CONTENT AND ACTIVITIES.
OGU sets guidelines for what may appear on the Site, but exercises no control over the Content of the Site and is unable to police all such Content, and makes no representations about its ability to enforce such guidelines.

As part of OGU's guidelines, please be advised that OGU does not encourage or promote any posts or discussions concerning unlawful activities, fraud, or deception, including posts or discussions relating to fraudulent activities such as "Stolen Accounts", "Cookie Stuffing," "Hacking", "PVA", "Fraud" activities, or using classified ads in a deceptive manner.

In the overwhelming majority of instances, however, OGU has no control whatsoever over the Content, due to the volume of the Content and because the Content is posted from people over whom OGU exercises no control. As such, OGU cannot and does not screen each post before such posts appear on the Site, and OGU makes no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind, expressed or implied, about the Content provided on the Site. OGU assumes no responsibility for the Content of the Site, including the content of any posts included in the forums or otherwise linked to the OGU site or in any web page linked to a third party within the OGU site.

If you have reason to believe that any Content pertains to discussion of unlawful activities, please inform OGU team members so that OGU may take reasonable action to remove such content. OGU will make a commercially reasonable effort to respond, but does not guarantee that it will respond to or will take action in response to all such notifications, and therefore cannot be responsible for a failure to respond.

4. THIRD PARTY CONTENT, SITES, AND SERVICES.
OGU is supported in part by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions on the service. The manner, mode and extent of advertising by OGU on its services are subject to change.

OGU will respond to valid law enforcement agency information requests in compliance with applicable legal frameworks. We cooperate with competent authorities and can provide requested information only after receiving a valid, official legal request. For U.S. law enforcement requests, these must be processed through recognized international legal channels, including but not limited to the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), or similar international treaties in accordance with Australian law. OGU reserves the right to process such requests in accordance with Australian law and in coordination with the relevant international legal processes, ensuring compliance with both U.S. and Australian legal standards. Requests from U.S. authorities will be considered in line with these procedures, and OGU will work to fulfill them to the extent permitted by law.

The request shall be made on a legal basis and sent according to the Terms of Use.

The request for information shall be made in English only and include a valid email address for us to deliver our response. Valid email is an official email of the competent authority, which is obviously associated with the competent authority in question.

OGU reserves the right to leave the request without action when it does not comply with the law.

OGU prefers to receive all type of inquiries via e-mail legal@oguser.com

Please be aware that any deficiencies in the information are possible and may be caused by whatever reasons including, but not limited to human agency, hardware and software imperfections and malfunctions.

OGU values its international cooperation with law enforcement agencies and is committed to responding to lawful information requests. However, requests from foreign authorities, including U.S. law enforcement, must be made in accordance with the applicable international legal processes and frameworks. OGU will work in compliance with Australian law and international agreements, such as the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), in responding to these requests.

The correspondence on the requests from competent authority is confidential and privileged and shall be used only for the purposes of the request.

OGU will make a commercially reasonable effort to respond, but does not guarantee that it will respond to or will take action in response to all such notifications, and therefore cannot be responsible for a failure to respond.
