A Business Subscriber shall be solely responsible for the Business Subscriber Content it posts itself or has posted on its behalf and the consequences of posting or publishing it. With respect to any Business Subscriber Content a Business Subscriber submits, or has submitted on its behalf, the Business Subscriber affirms, represents and warrants that: (a) it owns or has the necessary licenses, rights, consents or permissions to use and authorize Company to use all patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark rights or other proprietary rights to enable inclusion and use of such Business Subscriber Content in the manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms and Conditions; (b) it has the written consent, release or permission of each identifiable individual person in the Business Subscriber Content to use the name, likeness or other personal characteristics of each such identifiable individual to enable inclusion and use of such Business Subscriber Content in the manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms and Conditions; and (c) all Business Subscriber Content submit is complete and current at the time of submission.
“Site User Data” shall mean all the data, information, statistics, results, responses, answers, analysis, materials, and content arising from or related to a Site User’s access, interaction and/or use of the Subdomain, except that it shall not include any User Content (as defined in Section 6 below).
As between the Business Subscriber and Company, the Business Subscriber shall retain all ownership rights in and to the Business Subscriber Content and any Site User Data collected from the Subdomain(s) of the Business Subscriber. However, in order for us to display or otherwise use the Business Subscriber Content and that Site User Data for the purposes described in these Terms and Conditions, we need permission of the applicable Business Subscriber. Therefore, Business Subscriber hereby grants Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tier of sublicensees) and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, edit, modify, translate, reformat, prepare derivative works from, display or perform publicly, and otherwise exploit the Business Subscriber Content and Site User Data, in whole or in part, for the limited purposes as contemplated by the Website and these Terms and Conditions or as otherwise requested by Business Subscriber, and to use and exploit [Business Subscriber Content and] Site User Data to perform anonymized data aggregation and analytics. Business Subscriber also hereby grants Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use and reproduce Business Subscriber’s trademarks in connection with Business Subscriber’s Subdomain as contemplated by the Website and these Terms and Conditions.
If you are a Site User who has registered a Subdomain as a Business Subscriber, then you may submit to Company for approval supplemental terms and conditions and privacy policies (together, “Supplemental Terms”) for that Subdomain to govern the use of the Subdomain by other Site Users. . If approved by Company, Supplemental Terms will be posted on the Subdomain, and with respect to all Site Users of that Subdomain such Supplemental Terms are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms and Conditions and are legally binding on those Site Users. If there is a conflict between such Supplemental Terms and these Terms and Conditions, the Supplemental Terms will control for that conflict with respect to the Site Users of that Subdomain.
Any Subdomain registered by a Business Subscriber may issue rewards programs to award Incentives to Site Users (see Section 17, Promotions and Contests; Incentives). If a Business Subscriber chooses to create a rewards program, it will be responsible for choosing the length of the rewards program and providing us with funds to issue any applicable Incentives. The Business Subscriber will also be responsible for notifying us if at any time you choose to close the Subdomain, and terminate any rewards program. Upon closing of a Subdomain, any remaining funds for Incentives that have not been earned by Site Users of that Subdomain will be returned or credited back to the Business Subscriber who originally registered that Subdomain. However, any remaining funds for Incentives that have been awarded to a Site User but remain unclaimed will be forfeited and become the property of Company.
If a Subdomain closes or expires, the Business Subscriber of that Subdomain will have thirty (30) days to access the Subdomain with administrative access rights to retrieve any Business Subscriber Content or Site User Data you wish to retain, after which all such Business Subscriber Content and Site User Data of that closed or expired Subdomain will be deleted permanently. However, if there is a violation of the rules regarding posting content on this Website or a Subdomain (see Section 7, Posting Content), we reserve the right to immediately disable and close down that Subdomain and Business Subscriber will have only ten (10) days to access the Subdomain and retrieve any Business Subscriber Content and Site User Data before it is deleted permanently.
