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.

You acknowledge that any other agreements between you and WTT Media with respect to the Services are superseded and of no force or effect.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
