This schedule relates to the CR Terms of Use ("TOU"), and terms used here have the meanings given to them in the TOU.
In addition, for purposes of this schedule of liquidated damages, "Item of Content" means each and every instance of content of any type posted to, stored on or transmitted via ContentRunner by any user (or any other third party in any manner). For example, each single post to ContentRunner (including but not limited to any ad, comment, flag or message posted to ContentRunner), each single data file stored on ContentRunner (including but not limited to any account information, text, code, images, video or binary file), and each single communication transmitted via ContentRunner (including but not limited to any email or response to an email) is a single "Item of Content." Each "Item of Content" shall be considered and treated as an individual, discrete "Item of Content" even if it contains the same or substantially similar content as one or more other Items of Content.
For purposes of this schedule of liquidated damages, "Account" means each and every ContentRunner account of any type applied for, requested or created by any means.
For purposes of this schedule of liquidated damages, "Instance of Unauthorized Conduct" or "Instance" means each individual time CR's servers are accessed in connection with or in facilitation of a violation of the TOU. With respect to the Instances of Unauthorized Conduct enumerated in paragraph 6 below, each day that CR's servers are accessed to facilitate one or more of the violations enumerated therein shall constitute one Instance of Unauthorized Conduct. For purposes of this schedule of liquidated damages, "Attempt" shall be defined pursuant to Washington law.
TOU violations harm the functionality, integrity, and reputation of ContentRunner; interfere with and detract from users' and customers' beneficial use and enjoyment of ContentRunner; and are detrimental to CR as a business. Pursuant to §§ 11 and 12 of the TOU, you acknowledge and agree that CR incurs actual damages as a result of the TOU violations detailed below. You further acknowledge and agree that actual damages caused by such violations are extremely difficult, impossible or impractical to determine or quantify. Consequently, you agree it is fair and reasonable for CR to obtain injunctive relief to prohibit future violations of these TOU and recover liquidated damages for past violations of these TOU, and you acknowledge that the amounts set forth below reflect reasonable estimates of CR's actual damages from each such violation and that such estimates are reasonably related to the actual damages caused to CR by each such violation.
For each TOU violation below, you therefore agree to pay liquidated damages to CR in the amount specified. You further acknowledge and agree that the imposition of liquidated damages for each such TOU violation is independent and distinct, and that the assessment of total liquidated damages for multiple TOU violations is cumulative.
For the following, you agree to pay $25 per Item of Content:
(a) an item of content without a personal, good-faith belief that the content violates the TOU; (b) an item of content on behalf of someone else; (c) an item of content that you permit, enable, induce or encourage someone else to make on your behalf; (d) more than one instance of a specific Item of Content; (e) content posted to a categorical area offered on ContentRunner for which that content is not relevant; (f) content that is the same or substantially similar to content posted to or communicated via ContentRunner for more than one categorical area; (g) content posted in a ContentRunner category to which it is not directly relevant (as explained in the TOU); (h) content that is the same or substantially similar to content posted in another ContentRunner category; (i) content that is posted in more than the single user sub-category most accurate for that user where the relevant ContentRunner category provides specific subcategories for posts by particular types of users (as explained in the TOU); (j) content the same or substantially similar to other content posted more than once within 48 hours, unless that content is discrete and separate from the previously posted content; (k) content you post to ContentRunner on behalf of another; or (l) content posted to ContentRunner by a third party on your behalf (i.e., content that you permit, enable, induce or encourage any third party to post for you).
As explained in the definition of "Item of Content" above, for purposes of calculating liquidated damages, each instance described in clauses (a) through (c) of this section shall constitute an individual Item of Content.
You agree to pay $50 per Item of Content posted or stored on, or transmitted via ContentRunner either by you or on your behalf:
(a) using any automated means to perform any step of any process for submitting content (in whole or in part); (b) by any means that circumvent any technological measure implemented by CR to restrict the manner in which content may be submitted on ContentRunner or to regulate the manner in which content (including but not limited to email) may be transmitted to other users; or (c) using Accounts that are created or used in violation of TOU.
Liquidated damages under this ¶ 2 are in addition to Liquidated Damages that may be applicable to the Item of Content pursuant to other sections of this schedule and are agreed to be a reasonable estimate of CR's actual damages for the Items of Content posted using the means described in this ¶ 2 in addition to the liquidated damages incurred by CR set forth elsewhere in this schedule.
