The nature of some Content may be offensive, harmful, or inaccurate, and in some cases may be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. You agree that you are fully responsible for any Content that you submit to the Community. Without limiting the foregoing, H-D reserves the right, but is not obligated, to monitor all submissions and exercise editorial control over all such submissions, including without limitation the right to edit, take down or remove any Content. H-D is not responsible for any failure to monitor, review, edit and/or delete any Content submitted to the Web Site through any Community Feature.

All Content are deemed to be provided on a non-confidential basis. If you make a Contribution to a Community, you understand and agree that we may publish your Contribution in its entirety, as an edited version, or not at all, in our sole discretion.

11. If your Content includes a link to an outside web site, you must ensure that the content of the link and outside web site is appropriate for the Community.
