Legal Mumble Jumble
Because the complaints on iRipoff.com are authored by the users of the site, we cannot be legally regarded as the "speaker or publisher" of the complaints contained on the site, and hence we are not liable for reports even if they contain false, missing or inaccurate information.
If a court were to find that a consumer complaint constitutes libel or
defamation, that consumer would be held legally responsible for damages to the
reputation of that business. Under federal law (the Communications Decency Act),
because iRipoff.com does not censor posted consumer messages or investigate them
for accuracy, iRipoff.com is not legally responsible for the complaints that are
posted, even if those complaints contain remarks that are defamatory. However,
this law does not protect the person who leaves the complaints from
responsibility for those complaints.
