4. Responsibility for Public Postings and Content. Responsibility for what is posted in public areas of our website lies with each user - you alone are responsible for the material you post or otherwise make available in public areas of our Site. You alone are responsible for assessing the credibility of other user postings. We do not control the material that you or others may post or otherwise make available in such areas, and you understand that we have no obligation to monitor any such material or to edit or delete it.

Although Our Representatives may moderate User postings, content, conduct and Terms of Use compliance on the Site at our discretion, Our Representatives have no authority to make binding commitments, promises or representations to anyone that they or anyone else on our behalf will “take care” of any alleged problem or complaint, or that they or anyone else on our behalf will otherwise stop, cure or prevent any problem, content, conduct or purported Terms of Use violation from occurring or recurring. Accordingly, you further agree that any representation (written or verbal) by any of Our Representatives (or by anyone else acting on our behalf or by anyone purportedly acting on our behalf) that we (including but not limited to any of Our Representatives, anyone else acting on our behalf, or anyone purportedly acting on our behalf) would or would not prevent, restrict, redress or regulate User postings or content (including, without limitation, screen, block, moderate, review, remove, terminate, delete, edit or otherwise stop, cure or exclude any content), or to implement other enforcement measures against any User postings, content, conduct or potential or purported Terms of Use violation is superseded by this provision and is nonbinding and unenforceable. Specifically, you agree that we, Our Representatives and anyone else authorized to act on our behalf shall in no circumstance be liable as a result of any representation that we, Our Representatives or anyone else acting on our behalf would or would not restrict or redress any User postings, content, conduct or potential or purported Terms of Use violation. This paragraph may not be modified, waived or released except by a written agreement, dated and signed by a duly authorized officer of Talen Energy Corporation and dated and signed by the individual or entity to which the modification, waiver or release is granted.
