User Content Submission AgreementLast Updated: April 23,2008USER CONTENT SUBMISSION AGREEMENTPlease read this User Content Submission Agreement carefully because it is a part of the Terms of Use Agreement and represents your legally binding agreement with us (“Agreement”) regarding your submission (and our display and distribution) of content to the Site via certain technology, functionality and/or features we make available to you so you can upload and post such content for display via the Site (collectively, the “User Content Submission Features”). Unless defined separately, terms used in this Agreement are defined in our Terms of Use Agreement. When you submit User Content, or by using or attempting to use the User Content Submission Features, you are signifying your agreement with and acceptance of all terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as the terms and conditions contained in the Terms of Use Agreement that govern your legal and contractual relationship with The Logo Channel. We have the right to change the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time as described in our Terms of Use Agreement. If you do not agree with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time, including, without limitation, those times when we make changes, do not use, do not attempt to use, and immediately discontinue your use of, the User Content Submission Features, because if you do any of these things you are agreeing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any changes we have made. IMPORTANT NOTE: You must meet the Age Requirements in Section 2 of this Agreement and each and every time you submit or attempt to submit User Content, among other things, you will be asked to confirm your compliance. Each time you upload or submit User Content (or if you attempt to do so) you will be confirming your acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Instructions for uploading User Content can be found on the Site’s web page for the upload of User Content. To be considered for posting and display to the public, User Content must meet all the specifications and requirements relating to formatting, compatibility, operating characteristics and submission which can also be found on the Site’s web page for the upload of User Content. In order to submit User Content, you will also need to meet our Age Requirements (see Section 2 below). When you submit User Content you may also be asked to provide some information about you and your submission. This may include, without limitation, such things as a descriptive title, some information about the User Content, length, your location and/or similar information. By submitting User Content, you are also agreeing and you understand that the term “User Content” also includes, without limitation, and refers to all of the information you submit or we may receive that is related to your submission. Always keep a copy of anything you send because we are not responsible for lost, damaged, misdirected, unusable or unreadable User Content. Proof that you submitted User Content does not constitute proof that we received anything. 2. Age Requirements. 3. User Content Standards; Unauthorized Content. We make no claim the User Content Submission Features or any User Content are appropriate for any particular purpose or audience, or that any video, software or our User Content Submission Features may be accessed, used or downloaded outside of the United States, which may not be legal for certain persons or in certain countries and you do so at your own risk. You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction. The United States controls the export of products and information and you agree to comply with such restrictions and not to export or re-export any User Content including videos, information, software, materials, products or services to countries or persons prohibited under the export control laws and regulations. You agree you will not submit or attempt to submit, and we have the right to reject, refuse to accept, remove or otherwise handle as The Logo Channel deems appropriate, any “Unauthorized Content” which is defined as any User Content that is or could be construed as violating any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and/or any of the terms and conditions set forth in our Terms of Use Agreement, including, without limitation:
Neither The Logo Channel nor the Parent Companies or the Affiliates control any User Content submitted, although we may use both automated and manual means of reviewing User Content in order to prevent Unauthorized Content from appearing and being displayed on our Site. The Logo Channel reserves the right to review any submitted User Content and to delete, remove, move, edit or reject, without notice to you, any User Content that we deem, in our sole discretion, abusive, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, in violation of copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights, to be in violation of this Agreement or to be unacceptable to The Logo Channel or the Parent Companies or Affiliates, for any reason or for no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that The Logo Channel shall have no obligation or liability to you for failure to do so or for doing so in any particular manner. If The Logo Channel receives notice of any claim of infringement that satisfies specific legal requirements, such as notice and takedown requirements under U.S. copyright law (see Section 4 below), we may remove User Content associated with such claim. The Logo Channel reserves the right to provide information to law enforcement officials, governmental agencies and pursuant to judicial or regulatory compulsion, to protect their respective interests, the Site or to comply with legal, regulatory, audit and compliance obligations. 4. Copyright Infringement. 5. Rights Granted to The Logo Channel. By submitting User Content, in addition to the rights, licenses and privileges referred to above, you are also granting The Logo Channel, the Parent Companies and the Affiliates, the unqualified, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual and royalty free right, license, authorization and permission to use and refer to your name, logo, marks, image, characteristic or other distinctive identification in presentations, marketing materials, customer lists and financial reports, to do, perform, take advantage of and exploit any and all of the rights set forth herein in connection with the marketing, advertising and promotion of the Platforms, and any products, goods, features, functions, capabilities and/or services associated with The Logo Channel, the Parent Companies and Affiliates and to use and otherwise exploit any ideas, concepts, content, material, expression or form of expression, in whole or in part, contained in your User Content, for any purpose whatsoever, without any credit, compensation or accounting to you, in products or services developed by The Logo Channel, the Parent Companies and the Affiliates, without limitation or restriction whatsoever. The rights, licenses and privileges described in this Agreement and granted to The Logo Channel, the Parent Companies and the Affiliates, shall commence immediately upon submission of your User Content to or through the User Content Submission Features and continue thereafter perpetually and indefinitely, regardless of whether you continue or remain a registered user or not, unless and until terminated, in whole or in part, by The Logo Channel on notice to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that neither The Logo Channel, nor the Parent Companies or the Affiliates, shall be required or have any obligation to host, index, display, accept or use any submitted User Content (or take advantage of any or all of the particular rights and authorities granted or otherwise available) and The Logo Channel may, in its sole discretion, remove or refuse to host, index, display, accept, use or do anything at all with respect to any User Content. Once you submit or attempt to submit User Content you shall have no right to prohibit, restrict, revoke or terminate any of the rights granted to The Logo Channel or the Parent Companies or the Affiliates. You are not entitled to and you will not receive any compensation or other consideration for your User Content or any use made of your User Content once submitted. You also understand and agree that neither all or any portion of your User Content, nor any commercial, advertisement, promotional, marketing or other material associated with your User Content, need to be submitted for approval prior to use. The Logo Channel has the right to license, authorize and/or otherwise enter into agreements and arrangements with any Parent Companies or the Affiliates to do or perform any of the activities, exercise any of the rights and/or undertake any of the responsibilities granted or imposed under this Agreement, in whole or in part. To the extent The Logo Channel does so, when you submit User Content each such Parent Company and Affiliate shall be entitled to exercise and benefit from the terms and conditions, rights, licenses and authorizations granted to The Logo Channel hereunder and related thereto as if you had entered into this Agreement with such Parent Company or Affiliate directly. 6. Ownership. Except for the licenses, authorizations, consents and rights granted hereunder and described in this Agreement, as comprehensive and broad as they may seem or actually be, The Logo Channel acquires no title or ownership rights in or to any User Content you submit and nothing in this Agreement conveys to us any ownership rights in your User Content. The Logo Channel is acting only as a host, bulletin board or conduit for submitted User Content, with all of the specific rights granted by you hereunder. Although by your submission of any User Content you are requesting and directing us and any of the Parent Companies or the Affiliates with whom we have made arrangements, to take advantage of and exploit all of the rights and privileges granted hereunder (including, without limitation, the right to display and post the User Content on the Platforms), neither we, nor any of the Parent Companies or the Affiliates have any obligation to do any of these things. You must own the rights to the User Content you submit and the right to grant all of the authorizations, permissions, approvals, consents, rights and licenses as described in this Agreement. If you do not exclusively own all of these rights, you must have all necessary authorizations, permissions, approvals, consents, rights and licenses from the owner(s) to enter into this Agreement and perform and comply with all of its obligations. You represent, warrant and covenant to The Logo Channel and, by submitting User Content, you reaffirm each such representation, warranty and covenant, that (a) you are not a minor and you have the legal right and capability to enter into this Agreement and perform and comply with all of its terms and condition or, if you are a teenager, your parent or legal guardian has agreed to this Agreement on your behalf, (b) all of the information provided by you associated with your User Content is correct, complete and current, (c) your submission of any User Content does not violate this Agreement, any rights of any other party, any of your obligations, any law or regulation or infringes upon or misappropriates any intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights of any party, (d) you make in the Terms of Use Agreement, including, without limitation, those relating to Postings and (e) you hold and will continue to hold all the ownership, license, proprietary and other rights necessary to enter into, authorize, grant rights and perform your obligations under this Agreement as described. Upon the request of The Logo Channel, you will furnish The Logo Channel any documentation, substantiation and releases necessary and reasonably required to verify and substantiate your compliance with any or all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants. You represent and warrant that the submission of your User Content is not subject to or under the jurisdiction of any guild or union collective bargaining agreement, and you further acknowledge that The Logo Channel is not signatory to any such agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you also understand and agree that The Logo Channel shall not be obligated or responsible for providing any guild or residual payments in connection with the submission and exploitation of the User Content. You acknowledge that other persons may have submitted User Content to us, may have made public or developed, or may originate, submit, make public or develop, material similar or identical to all or a portion of your User Content or concepts contained therein, and you understand and agree you will not be entitled to any compensation because of the use or exploitation thereof and the submission of User Content, or any posting or display thereof, is not any admission of novelty, priority or originality. Even if you subsequently see or learn of a presentation, motion picture, still photograph, film, video or any other content which appears to incorporate any idea or concept or include anything similar or identical to that contained in any User Content you or anyone else submits, that is purely coincidental and unavoidable. 7. Financial Consideration. 8. Indemnification. 9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability. 10. General.
