ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
When you access a Nimble Offering, send e-mails or electronically chat with Nimble, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications

REVIEWS, COMMUNICATIONS AND SUBMISSIONS
Generally
Without limiting the scope of these Terms of Use, you agree to comply with the following requirements when you submit reviews, forum posts and other content via
any Nimble Offering. Inappropriate, obscene, defamatory, offensive language, crude or explicit sexual content, discussions of any matters which are explicitly
or by inference illegal in any way, discussions of illegal or any other drugs, and racially and ethnically offensive speech are examples of unsuitable content that
are not permitted within the Nimble Offerings. Content standards may vary depending on where you are within a Nimble Offering and the expectations of the relevant
game community. Some game play may involve use of stronger language than others, including mild expletives. You should always use your best and most respectful and
conservative judgment in interacting as part of any game play, and submitting any content, such as a review or post to any forums or message boards, within a Nimble Offering.
We expressly reserve the right, but have no obligation, to: (a) monitor any communications within the Nimble Offerings, including, without limitation, to ensure
that appropriate standards of online conduct are being observed, and (b) immediately or at any time remove any content that we deem objectionable or unsuitable in
our sole discretion. Nimble does not endorse, approve, or prescreen any content that you or other users post or communicate on or through any Nimble Offerings. Nimble
does not assume any responsibility or liability for any content that is generated, posted or communicated by any user on or through the Nimble Offerings. You agree to
indemnify Nimble and each of their respective employees, contractors, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, vendors, and content providers from any
liability or damages arising out of or resulting from any content you post or communicate on or through the Nimble Offerings.
Without limiting the generality of these policies and standards, the following actions are examples of behavior that violate these Terms of Use and may result in any or all of your Nimble account(s) being immediately suspended or terminated:
- Posting, transmitting, promoting, or distributing any content that is illegal
- Harassing or threatening any other user of a Nimble Offering or any employee or contractor of Nimble
