Plain-English summary

This service allows the company to make immediate and unilateral changes to its terms, giving little control to the user. Users outside of the US/EU may lose local legal protections. The company can remove user content at its discretion without notice or liability, and generally retains a perpetual license to user-submitted content. It may also access and disclose account information and content under various conditions, and users bear all risks associated with third-party content.

Unilateral and Immediate Changes to Terms

The Distributor reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms, including Supplemental Terms, at any time for any reason, with all changes effective immediately.

Unilateral amendment

Why it matters: This means the company can alter the agreement instantly without waiting, potentially changing your rights or obligations without direct acknowledgment or a chance to review before the changes take effect. Your continued use after changes constitutes binding acceptance.

Distributor reserves the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms, including the Supplemental Terms, at any time for any reason, and we may notify you of such changes through any of a variety of means, including a change to the “Last Updated” date set forth above and other reasonable means to be determined in our discretion. All changes shall be effective immediately.

Waiver of Local Law Protections for Non-US/EU Users

If you are accessing or using the Distributor Sites from other jurisdictions, you waive your right to assert claims or avail yourself of protections afforded you in that jurisdiction which are not available in the United States of America or in the EU.

Why it matters: Users outside the US or EU might lose legal protections specific to their own country and instead be subject to US or EU laws, which could offer less favorable rights.

If you are accessing or using the Distributor Sites from other jurisdictions, you are responsible for compliance with local laws and, to the extent allowed in the jurisdiction where you are located, you waive your right to assert claims or avail yourself of protections afforded you in that jurisdiction which are not available in the United States of America or in the EU, as applicable.

Company Can Remove User Content at Sole Discretion

The Distributor may remove your User Content at its sole discretion, at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice and with no liability of any kind.

Unilateral amendment

Why it matters: Any content you upload may be deleted by the company at any time, for any reason, without notice, and without the company being held responsible. This means you could lose your content permanently.

Distributor and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation), in their sole discretion, to refuse to post or to remove any User Content or Third-Party Content that is available on the Distributor Site, in whole or in part, at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice and with no liability of any kind.

Perpetual License to User Content (except for specific removals)

The licenses granted by you in User Content to Distributor and other users shall be perpetual and irrevocable, except that you can notify the Distributor to terminate the license for User Content you removed or deleted from your account, in which case it will terminate within a commercially reasonable time.

Broad content license

Why it matters: The company and other users essentially have a permanent right to use your content. While you can request termination for removed content, the company may still retain server copies and termination might not be immediate.

The above licenses granted by you in User Content you submit to the Distributor Site shall be perpetual and irrevocable, except that with respect to any User Content that you have removed or deleted while maintaining your Distributor Site user account, or any User Content following any deactivation or deletion of your Distributor Site user account, you may specifically notify Distributor regarding the termination of the foregoing license from you to Distributor, specifically identifying the item(s) of User Content to which such termination applies, in which case the foregoing license will terminate within a commercially reasonable time after you provide such notice to Distributor.

Account termination without notice

Why it matters: Your personal account information and shared content could be accessed and disclosed by the company under many circumstances, including legal obligations, enforcement of their terms, or to protect their interests and safety, potentially without your direct consent.

You acknowledge, consent, and agree that Distributor may access, preserve, and disclose your account information and your User Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the Terms; (c) respond to any claim that your User Content violate the rights of third parties; (d) provide certain customized features of the Distributor Sites to you, if any; (e) respond if you contact Distributor for any reason; or (f) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Distributor, its other Users, and the public.
