Yes, now you can see the dumbest agreement on earth

This is what EMS sports wants you to agree to before you post a review of their stuff:

http://www.powerreviews.com/legal/terms_of_use_en_US.html

I guess "Power Reviews" is running their review site.

An excerpt that will probably get me in trouble:

What you are promising by submitting UGC: By submitting UGC you represent and warrant that: (i) you are the sole owner of the UGC; (ii) the UGC is accurate; (iii) you are at least thirteen (13) years old; and, (iv) the UGC you submit does not violate these Terms of Use. Because you are solely responsible for what you post, you also agree to indemnify PowerReviews and PowerReviews's clients for a breach of your representations and warranties.
Where you can find additional information on PowerReviews's use of the UGC: PowerReviews's use of any UGC you submit is subject to PowerReviews's Privacy Policy, which can be found at http://www.powerreviews.com/legal/privacy_policy_en_US.html.

Oh by the way, they sey this in their thank you message:

Hello @comcast.net. Here is a list of the reviews we have connected to your email address. Currently, we have a limited set of managing options for your reviews:

Deleting a review: Unfortunately, we do not allow deletion of reviews as they become our property upon submission. However, if you would like to disconnect the review from your identity and unlink it from your email address, please feel free to do so at any time. Unlink a review.

Removing media: If you would like to remove an image or video you've shared along with a review, you can do so by finding the review in question below and clicking on the "Remove" button directly underneath the item.

SO - I'm solely responsible for what I post, but posts are their property!?

sheesh.  Please, someone put them out of their misery
