Finally, your website disclaimers and documents and the other elements of website compliance must work together as a system, so documents are not interchangeable. For example:

* your Terms of Use and Customer Agreement relate to your DMCA Registration Form and to your disclaimers,

* disclaimers that are merely notices in your Terms of Use carry over to your customer agreement where they become a part of a binding contract,

* notices in your Terms of Use regarding the location of your site's servers become critical in terms of your Privacy Policy, especially for personal information transferred from users located in the European Union,

* and so on.

Conclusion

In summary, do it right. Don't cut corners with something so important as your website content and website documents. Use your own content, documents, policies, and rules for your website.

Only then will you have the confidence and peace of mind that you will not be faced with a demand letter, or worse -- a lawsuit -- from the content owner.
