We may also use the Personally Identifiable Information you provide to administer and
manage your account, pay commissions to you, include you on mailing lists and advertise

foregoing, we may disclose your information pursuant to our Intellectual Property Rights
Policy to a third party that alleges you have infringed their intellectual property rights.
