Our Privacy Statement describes how we handle the information you provide to us when you use our Services. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Statement) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States or other countries for storage, processing and use by WTT Media and its affiliates. 

6. USER GENERATED CONTENT

Other than personally identifiable information, which is covered in WTT Media's Privacy Statement, any reviews, comments, questions, ideas, suggestions, photos, and other material you send or post to the Services ("User Generated Content") will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Unless otherwise provided by the Other Agreements you may enter into with WTT Media, by posting, uploading, adding, communicating, storing, or otherwise transmitting User Generated Content on, to, or through the Services, you understand and agree that you are giving WTT Media a royalty free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable license to edit, alter, broadcast, post, publish, copy, disclose, distribute, perform, create derivative works from, incorporate and otherwise use the User Generated Content for any and all purposes, including commercial, promotional, or marketing purposes throughout the world in any form, or medium. You agree that WTT Media has no obligation to use any idea or material contained in User Generated Content and you have no right to compel such use. WTT Media will have no obligations with respect to User Generated Content.

You agree that none of your User Generated Content will include material that:

is unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, indecent, obscene, pornographic, or that may violate any law;

Although you are solely responsible for the content you provide, WTT Media may, but is not required to, monitor User Generated Content. If WTT Media becomes aware of User Generated Content that violates these Terms or that it believes to objectionable, WTT Media may act to restrict access to or availability of this material, without notice to you and in its sole discretion, or may take other action as described elsewhere in these Terms.

When you submit User Generated Content to WTT Media through our Services, you should be aware that your User Generated Content is transmitted across multiple computer systems on the Internet. Because no method of transmitting or storing electronic data on the Internet is ever completely secure, we cannot guarantee that such information will never be accessed, used, or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Statement. By sending User Generated Content to WTT Media you release WTT Media of any duty or obligation it might otherwise have to review or act in response to the User Generated Content, and of any duty or obligation that it might otherwise have to you in connection with any action it chooses to take in response to your User Generated Content.

If you send WTT Media ideas, suggestions, concepts, data and the like (Feedback), whether solicited or unsolicited, that is not already protected by a United States patent or is not public information, the Feedback immediately becomes the property of WTT Media. By offering Feedback to WTT Media you agree to convey your ownership interest in the Feedback to WTT Media, and that WTT Media will exclusively own all rights, title and interest therein. Furthermore, WTT Media will be free to use, without any compensation to you whatsoever, any concepts, ideas, know-how or techniques contained in any Feedback for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, and marketing products, services, and solutions using such information. WTT Media will not be liable for such use or disclosure of such Feedback or for any similarities in the Feedback and any future WTT Media uses or activities.

You acknowledge that any other agreements between you and WTT Media with respect to the Services are superseded and of no force or effect. If any provision of these Terms shall be determined to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable by a court or other legal authority of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and will be deemed replaced by an equivalent enforceable provision that, as nearly as possible, reflects the intent of the parties. The severance of any individual provision of these Terms will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

BY CONTINUING TO USE THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE
