We have made an effort to ensure that these Terms reflect, in plain language, your obligations, rights and remedies—while this makes these Terms a little bit longer than others might be, it is organized by headers to help you find what you need.  PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARIDNG YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, VARIOUS LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND INDEMNITIES.

Unless we expressly disclaim any terms in writing, your use of This Site and any Content we provide (we will define that below) will ALWAYS be subject to terms of use, and so your use of This Site is subject to these Terms.  If you are not willing to be bound by each and every provision of these Terms, or if anything that we require you to agree to in these Terms is not true, you may not use This Site and must immediately cease any access or use This Site.

b.                   Our Privacy Policy applies to your Account’s personal information—When you create an Account, you will be asked to provide certain information.  Like all other personal information, personal information associated with your Account will be subject to our Privacy Policy.

c.                   Your Account must be yours—You must not register or access an Account on behalf of any individual other than yourself, except for legal entities that are not individuals (such as companies, partnerships, or societies), in which case you may not register or access an Account on behalf of that entity unless you are duly authorized to do act for that entity.

h.                   Third party links are your (and those third parties’) responsibility—If your Account is linked to a third party service, like a payment processor, we may update your information with information provided through that third party service.  We are not responsible for that third party information.  The third party (or you, through your agreement with them) is responsible for that third party information.

6.                   Who Owns This Site’s Content

a.                   What “Content” means—In these Terms, we use the term “Content” to mean all materials and content — this includes designs, editorials, text, graphics, audiovisual materials, multimedia elements, photographs, videos, music, sound recordings, reports, documents, software, information, formulae, patterns, data and any other work, information or content.  So basically, anything available on or through This Site is Content—including, in the case of our Content, source code, processes, designs, technologies, URLs, domain names, trademarks and logos forming any part of This Site.

b.                   Our Content is ours, not yours—Except where expressly stated otherwise, all right, title and interest in and to This Site and all Content that you did not provide yourself (“Our Content”) fully belongs to us or others from whom we have licensed it.  Our Content is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or other proprietary rights or intellectual property laws. Our Content is licensed subject fully to these Terms. Except for the limited license we have already described above, nothing in your use of This Site grants you any right, title or interest in, or any ownership over, Our Content.

c.                   We do not control third party Content, which is theirs and not yours—This Site may link to or otherwise make available Content from third parties (collectively, “Third Party Content”).  That Third Party Content is theirs and not yours, and may be governed by terms and conditions applicable to Third Party Content.  Nothing in your use of This Site grants you any right, title or interest in, or ownership over, Third Party Content, even if you may have accessed it legitimately through the license we have given you to use This Site.

d.                   Your Content is yours—If This Site contains interactive features that allow you to provide Content (“Your Content”), we do not claim any ownership over it.  Your Content includes Content you post, upload, input, provide, submit or otherwise transfer Your Content to us or any third party, using the This Site. 

e.                   We may use Your Content, and Your Content is prohibited unless we are allowed to use it—You are not allowed to provide us with any of Your Content unless we have the right to use it.  Because we have no obligation to monitor Your Content, this is true regardless of what Your Content states, or any context or disclaimers you provide in connection with providing Your Content.  So, if you make Your Content available in any way through This Site, we deem that to mean that you have:

(i)                 Your Content is Fully Licensed for This Site—given us a royalty-free and fully paid-up (meaning we have no obligation to pay you), non-exclusive (meaning you may give it to others), irrevocable and perpetual (meaning that you may not terminate the license, which we will explain below), license that is without any territorial or geographic limitation (we will refer to all of that as a “Full License”) to use copy, distribute, transmit, display, edit, delete, publish and translate (we will refer to that as “Fully Use”) Your Content to the extent we reasonably determine it is necessary for us to provide This Site as it may exist in any medium from time to time;

(ii)               Your Content is Fully Licensed so that we may administer these Terms—given use a Full License to Fully Use Your Content in order to ensure adherence to, or enforce, these Terms, or to comply with any applicable law;

(iii)             We rely on you to not give us anything unless we are Fully Licensed to Fully Use Your Content—confirmed, represented and warranted to us that you have all right, title and interest, as well as the power and authority necessary, to grant a Full License for us to Fully Use Your Content to us as set out above; and

(iv)              We may hold you legally responsible if someone claims we cannot use Your Content—agreed to indemnify us from (and disclaim our responsibility for) any actions, proceedings, claims, liabilities, damages and reasonable expenses (including legal expenses) relating to or arising from Your Content, including instances where Your Content (A) infringes anyone’s intellectual property rights, or (B) is inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful.

f.                    Our obligation to protect Your Content is limited—We will and have established commercially reasonable security measures to ensure that our personnel only use Your Content in accordance with the Full Licenses granted under these Terms.

g.                   If you do not agree to how These Terms deal with Your Content, do not provide it—If you cannot provide Your Content in accordance with these Terms, we prohibit you from using it in connection with This Site.

h.                   Deleting Your Content—If permitted by the functionality of This Site, you may delete Your Content through This Site (or by deleting Your Account), but you acknowledge and agree that, because your Full License is irrevocable and perpetual, we may retain copies of Your Content for archival or compliance purposes or to otherwise provide This Site to you or others, subject always to your Full License to us set out above, even if you delete any Account to which Your Content is connected.  You may always contact us regarding Your Content as set out in these Terms, This Site or our Privacy Policy.

i.                    If you give us feedback, you also give us the right to use it—If you provide us any comments, ideas, suggestions and impressions of This Site or our products and services (collectively, the “Feedback”), you give us a Full License to use it for any purposes, including commercial exploitation in perpetuity, regardless of whether we actively solicited that Feedback or not.

j.                    We are only responsible for Our Content, not Your Content or Third Party Content—You are exclusively responsible for determining the accuracy, suitability, harmfulness or legality of any of Your Content, even if you did not create it.  We do not have any obligation to monitor, censor or review any of Your Content or any Third-Party Content, or to monitor use of This Site. If we do decide, in our sole discretion, to review or take any action with Content other than Our Content, it creates no obligation for us to do that in the future. 

k.                   We may take action if we receive complaints—If we receive a complaint relating to use of This Site by you, including as it relates to Your Content or your use of Third Party Content, you acknowledge and agree that we may, in our sole and absolute discretion and without notice or liability, investigate the complaint, and restrict, suspend or terminate your access to the This Site, or and censor, alter or remove Your Content, or take any other action that is permitted by applicable law.  Nothing we do (or do not do) waives or limits our right to any rights or remedies that we have.
