Any use of the Interactive Areas or other portions of the Sites in violation of the foregoing violates these Site Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Interactive Areas and/or the Sites.

If you post User Content to the Sites, you retain rights and control of all content. You agree to allow Raise Financial to use content for internal purposes. You grant Raise Financial, its affiliates and sublicensees that right to obtain express permission in connection with such content, if we choose, for external purposes.
