Subject to this reservation, BRUT disclaims any liability for the use of third party websites or user comments accessible via the Application. Once you are redirected to a third party website, these General Terms of Use cease to apply; only the general conditions of the third-party site apply.

If you access unlawful sites or comments via the Application, please notify us immediately at: support-web@brut.media.

User’s obligations regarding the comments that he/she publishes on the Application

The Application allows users to post comments on the content viewed. As such, you are solely responsible, in your use of the Application, for ensuring that any comments you post do not violate the law or infringe the rights of third parties. We are technically unable to control and will not review your comments before they are posted on the Application.

By posting comments on the Application, you represent and warrant that you have all the necessary rights to post such comments on the Application (including, where applicable, intellectual property rights).

Any unlawful comment (or comment which BRUT deems to be unlawful) brought to its attention will immediately be removed from the Application.

You agree to hold us harmless for any claim or action (including reasonable attorney's fees and associated legal costs), to the extent that such claims or actions are based on a third-party claim that a comment that you have posted in connection with your use of the Application is in violation of any intellectual property rights or other rights of such third party.

In the event of a claim or action by a third party as described above, you undertake, at our request, to immediately provide us with complete and honest information as may be necessary for an investigation of these claims and for organizing our legal defense.

The parties further agree to replace the null or invalid clause with a clause closest in content to that originally agreed.
