All rights in the Service and all Content (excluding Your Content, as defined below) is owned by us or our third-party licensors and vendors and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and/or other intellectual property laws. Nothing contained on the Service should be construed as granting any license or right to use the Service or Content without our written permission other than as set forth herein.

We have the right, but no obligation, to monitor or screen Your Content and remove any of Your Content in our discretion, including if we deem it objectionable or inappropriate in any way. You must not submit any content that infringes any third party’s rights. By submitting any of Your Content, you: (i) represent and warrant that it is original authorship or you otherwise have acquired all right, title, and interest to do so; (ii) acknowledge that Your Content will not be treated as confidential, and may be publicly visible via the Service; (iii) grant us and our affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty-free, and fully transferable and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, modify, transmit, distribute and create derivative works of Your Content in any media and for any purpose whatsoever (including to operate, maintain, improve, and promote the Service and other commercial purposes) without attribution or compensation; and (iv) irrevocably waive any claims of moral rights, privacy, publicity, or similar rights in any of Your Content.
