within DailyDiary. Nonetheless, DailyDiary reserves the right but not the duty
to monitor or remove any information transmitted or received through the
Service, to terminate your account and use of the Service, or to remove
any message from the system at any time, without notice, in DailyDiary's
sole discretion. DailyDiary encourages you to bring violations of the Member Agreement to
DailyDiary's attention, although we do not guarantee any action
will occur based on the disclosure of such information.
