By submitting photos, videos, audio recordings, written comments, reviews, or other material to us, or by allowing us to access and feature content from your social media account, you agree that the material you provide may be treated as user-generated content under these terms. User-generated content may include your name, username, social media handle, image, voice, likeness, or other identifying information that appears together with the material you submit.
When you voluntarily provide content for potential use, you acknowledge that it may be displayed or shared through websites, social media channels, email communications, advertising, promotional materials, partner platforms, or other digital and media channels. Content may also be reproduced or distributed through third-party websites and services where permitted by applicable law.
You remain responsible for the content you submit. You represent that your submission is truthful and that you have the necessary rights, permissions, and authority to provide the material and grant the rights described in these terms. Your content must not violate any applicable law or regulation or infringe the rights of another person or organization.
Your submission must not contain material that infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other intellectual property rights. It should not include malicious software, harmful code, unauthorized advertising, spam, threatening material, obscene content, sexually explicit material, violent or abusive material, or content intended to harass, intimidate, degrade, or cause harm to another person or entity.
If another individual appears or can be identified in your content, you are responsible for obtaining any permission that may be required for their image, voice, name, likeness, or other personal information to be used in connection with the content. By submitting such material, you confirm that you have the necessary authorization to grant the rights described in these terms.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use the content you submit. This license may include the right to reproduce, copy, display, publish, distribute, transmit, perform, translate, edit, adapt, modify, combine, create derivative works from, and otherwise use the content in connection with our websites, communications, advertising, promotional activities, products, services, and other media.
The license may continue for an indefinite period and may apply to current and future forms of media and technology. Where permitted by applicable law, you agree that we may use the content without paying compensation to you. You should therefore avoid submitting confidential information, private materials, unpublished creative work, business information, original artwork, product concepts, stories, or other material that you do not want us to use under these terms.
We may choose whether or not to publish submitted content. We may review, moderate, edit, crop, resize, translate, adapt, decline, remove, or discontinue displaying any user-generated content at our discretion. We are not required to publish every submission, and submitting content does not create an obligation for us to use it.
Where permitted by applicable law, you agree not to assert moral rights or similar rights that would prevent reasonable editing, modification, adaptation, translation, combination, or removal of the content. This does not limit rights that cannot legally be waived or restricted under the laws applicable to you.
If you provide a name, username, or social media handle together with your submission, you authorize us to display that information alongside the content when appropriate. However, we are not required to identify you by name or username when using your content.
Content voluntarily submitted through social media or other public platforms may no longer be considered confidential. Once content is published or distributed online, it may be copied, downloaded, reposted, shared, archived, or otherwise distributed by third parties. We cannot control how third parties may use content after it has been made available outside our direct services.
You should carefully consider what you choose to submit. Do not provide information that you expect to remain private or confidential if you are not comfortable with the possibility that it may be displayed or redistributed.
You represent that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into these terms. If you are under the applicable age of majority, you should not submit content unless the applicable legal requirements and permissions have been satisfied.
You agree to take responsibility for claims resulting from content you submit or from your breach of these terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to protect and reimburse us and our affiliates, employees, officers, directors, contractors, and representatives against claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, or reasonable legal costs arising from your submitted content, your violation of these terms, or your failure to obtain the necessary rights and permissions.
This may include claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other rights belonging to another person or organization. By submitting content, you acknowledge that it may be used in the ways described above and agree not to bring claims based solely on an authorized use of the content where such claims are legally waivable.
Privacy and data protection rights may provide additional protections depending on where you live. Residents of certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, European Union, European Economic Area, United States, and other regions, may have statutory rights concerning personal information and user-generated content. Where applicable law provides a right to withdraw consent, request deletion, or otherwise restrict processing, those rights will apply to the extent required by law.
If you would like to request removal of content that you previously submitted through a social media account, please contact us at [email protected]. When making a request, provide enough information for us to identify the relevant content, such as the account name, username, post details, or a description of the material. Certain legal, technical, or third-party circumstances may affect how quickly content can be removed, particularly when it has already been copied or republished elsewhere.
Social media services are operated independently by their respective providers and are subject to their own terms, policies, privacy practices, and community guidelines. Submitting content through a social media platform does not change your responsibility to comply with the rules of that platform. Standard mobile data or messaging charges may apply when submitting content through a mobile device, depending on your service provider.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, services and user-generated content features are provided without guarantees that they will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We are not responsible for third-party websites, social media services, or other external platforms over which we have no control.
These terms may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, technology, or business practices. Updated terms will become effective when posted unless a different effective date is specified.
These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction specified by the applicable terms governing your use of the services, subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights that apply where you reside. Nothing in these terms is intended to remove or restrict rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer protection or privacy laws.
If you have questions about user-generated content, permission, privacy, removal requests, or these terms, please contact us at [email protected]. By voluntarily submitting content, you acknowledge that you have reviewed these conditions and understand that your content may be used, modified, displayed, and distributed in accordance with the rights granted above.
