USER CONTENT AGREEMENT
Please
read this User Content Agreement (“Agreement”) carefully
because it is a part of the Terms of Use Agreement and represents your legally
binding agreement with us 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 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
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 INSOMIS.
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 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.
1.
Submitting User Content.
The
term “User
Content”
means and refers to any and all content, media and materials you submit for
posting on the Site using the User Content Features, including, without
limitation, still photographs, writings, spoken statements, music, audio,
video, video recordings, audio-visual works and recordings, slides, portraits,
animated and/or motion pictures, caricatures, likenesses, vocal or other
sounds, sound recordings, voices, voice reproductions, computer graphics and
visual effects, as well as any accompanying documentation, packaging or other
materials, tangible or intangible, and to all derivative works, translations,
adaptations or variations of same, regardless of the tangible medium, broadcast
medium, format or form, now known or hereinafter developed or discovered, and regardless
of where produced, on location, in a studio or elsewhere, in black-and-white or
in color, alone or in conjunction with other work, characters, real or
imaginary, in any part of the world. User Content is also considered a
“Posting”, as such term defined in the Terms of Use Agreement, and therefore, all terms and
conditions contained within the section of the Terms of Use Agreement entitled Postings
“shall apply to all User Content you submit pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement for Posting to the Site.
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.
By
submitting User Content pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
you are certifying that you satisfy the age eligibility and requirements set
forth in the Terms
of Use Agreement.
3.
User Content Standards; Unauthorized Content.
You
are solely responsible and liable for your communications and submissions (and
the consequences) made under your name, user name, email address, password and
your registration and profile information, if any. User Content does not
reflect the views of INSOMIS, and neither INSOMIS, nor any of the Affiliates,
represents or guarantees the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any User
Content, or endorses or supports any opinions expressed in any User Content. In
no event shall INSOMIS or the Affiliates have or be construed to have any
responsibility or liability for or in connection with any User Content. If we
determine, in our sole discretion, you have not met the Age Requirements
(see Section
2 above)
or if, in our judgment, you or any User Content you submit violates this
Agreement, we reserve the right, at any time, without notice and without limiting
any and all other rights we may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity,
to (a) refuse to allow you to submit further User Content, (b) remove and
delete your User Content, (c) revoke your registration and right to use the User
Content Features and (d) use any technological, legal, operational or other
means available to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, blocking specific IP addresses or deactivating your registration,
access using your e-mail address, your user name and password.
We
make no claim the User Content Features or any User Content are appropriate for
any particular purpose or audience, or that any video, software or our User
Content 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 INSOMIS 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:
·
infringing
on a third party’s copyright or other intellectual property rights;
·
causing
harm, harassing anyone or which may prevent, prohibit, inhibit, restrict or
otherwise impair others from using or enjoying the Site;
·
unauthorized
access to the User Content Features or information of other users;
·
the
modification, impairment, disruption, alteration or interference with the use,
features, functions, operation or maintenance of the User Content Features; or
·
any
requirements, rules, terms or conditions that may be applicable to the User
Content Features.
Neither
INSOMIS nor 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. INSOMIS
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 INSOMIS or the Affiliates,
for any reason or for no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that INSOMIS shall have no
obligation or liability to you for failure to do so or for doing so in any
particular manner. If INSOMIS 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 4below),
we may remove User Content associated with such claim. INSOMIS 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.
If
you believe any User Content violates the copyright of any other party, you can
notify us by complying with the procedures set forth in our Copyright Compliance Policy.
5.

In
connection with all User Content you submit using the User Content Features,
you grant to INSOMIS, and the Affiliates, the unqualified, unrestricted,
unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual and royalty free

Site and any other channels, services, and other distribution platforms,
whether currently existing or existing or developed in the future, of INSOMIS,
and the Affiliates (collectively, the “Platforms”),
for any purpose whatsoever (including, without limitation, for any promotional
purposes) without accounting, notification, credit or other obligation to you,
and the right to license and sub-license and authorize others to exercise any
of the rights granted hereunder to INSOMIS, and the Affiliates, in our sole
discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the generality of the

limitation, the right to distribute and synchronize all or any portion of your

cast, re-publish, re-broadcast, re-platform, port, syndicate, route, and link
to and from all or any portion of your User Content; to encrypt, encode and
decode, and compress and decompress all or any portion of your User Content; to
edit, mix, combine, merge, distort, superimpose, create or add special effects,
illusions and/or other material to or of all or any portion of your User Content;

the Platforms.
By
submitting User Content, in addition to the rights, licenses and privileges
referred to above, you are also granting INSOMIS, 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 INSOMIS, and the 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 INSOMIS, and the Affiliates, without
limitation or restriction whatsoever.
The
rights, licenses and privileges described in this Agreement and granted to INSOMIS,
and the Affiliates, shall commence immediately upon submission of your User
Content to or through the User Content 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 INSOMIS
on notice to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that
neither INSOMIS, nor 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 INSOMIS 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 INSOMIS 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.
You
hereby release INSOMIS, and the Affiliates from any and all claims of any
rights, encumbrances, liens, claims, demands, actions or suits which you may or
can have in connection with your User Content, including, without limitation,
any and all liability for any use or nonuse of the your User Content, claims
for defamation, libel, slander, invasion of privacy, right of publicity,
emotional distress or economic loss. INSOMIS, and the Affiliates, have the
right to assign, transfer, convey, license, sub-license and otherwise transfer,
sub-contract, delegate, outsource or engage third parties to perform or benefit
from all or any portion of its or their rights and/or obligations to any one or
more other parties, without accounting, reporting, notification or other
obligation or liability to you whatsoever, now or in the future. You also
forever waive and relinquish all moral rights or droit moral now or hereafter
recognized in connection with your User Content and the rights granted to INSOMIS,
and the Affiliates hereunder.
INSOMIS
has the right to license, authorize and/or otherwise enter into agreements and
arrangements with any of 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 INSOMIS
does so, when you submit User Content each such Affiliate shall be entitled to
exercise and benefit from the terms and conditions, rights, licenses and
authorizations granted to INSOMIS hereunder and related thereto as if you had
entered into this Agreement with such Affiliate directly.
6.
Ownership.
INSOMIS
retains all right, title and interest in and to the User Content Features,
including, without limitation, to all associated intellectual property and
proprietary rights existing anywhere in the world and you acquire no ownership,
proprietary or other rights, title or interest in or to the User Content
Features.
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, INSOMIS 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. INSOMIS 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 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 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 INSOMIS
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 INSOMIS, you will furnish INSOMIS 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 INSOMIS is
not signatory to any such agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
you also understand and agree that INSOMIS 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.
INSOMIS
reserves the sole and exclusive right to sell advertising and otherwise
exploit, benefit from and/or realize revenue from the conduct of its business
and operating the Site, the User Content Features or other Platforms and any

or otherwise used by or in connection with the Site, the User Content Features
or other Platforms.
