creative materials such as stories or character ideas, screenplays, or
original artwork to our webserver.

should be aware that when you are on UNDERGRADS you could be directed
to other sites that are beyond our control. We take no responsibilities
for these 3rd party sites and their content. There are links that take
visitors outside our service. For example, if a visitor were to click

Fund. These third party sites may collect data or solicit personal information.
Always be aware of where you end up.

example, through the Undergrads Posting board -- that information can
be collected and used by organizations and people without your knowledge.
