Users grant GM a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform User Submissions in connection with the Web site and GM's business, with licenses over User Comments held on a perpetual and irrevocable basis. GM disclaims all express and implied warranties and all categories of damages liability to users, requires users to indemnify GM and its associated entities against any and all claims arising from their use of the site, and contractually shortens the limitations period for any cause of action to one year from accrual. GM reserves the right to amend the Terms at any time without notice and may, at its sole discretion, warn or terminate a user's account and permanently bar re-registration upon a guideline violation.
