1.INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Internet site(s) of Animal U, Inc.(“AUI“). AUI and any and all entities that control, are controlled by, or are affiliated with or under common control of AUI are collectively referred to herein as “we,” “us” or “our”.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY AUI SITE. By using any AUI Site or by clicking a box that states that you accept or agree to these terms, you signify your agreement to these terms of use. If you do not agree to these terms of use, you may not use the AUI Sites.
Note that special terms may apply to some services offered on AUI Sites, like subscription-based services, rules for particular contests or sweepstakes or other features or activities. These terms are posted in connection with the applicable service. Any such terms are in addition to these terms of use, and in the event of a conflict, prevail over these terms of use.
You acknowledge that these terms of use are supported by reasonable and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that such consideration includes your use of the AUI Sites and receipt of data, materials and information available at or through the AUI Sites, the possibility of our use or display of your Solicited Submissions (as defined below in Section 3, entitled “SUBMISSIONS”) and the possibility of the publicity and promotion from our use or display of your Solicited Submissions.
2.USE OF CONTENT
All information, materials, functions and other content (including Submissions, as defined in Section 3, entitled “SUBMISSIONS”) (“Content“) contained on AUI Site(s) are our copyrighted property or the copyrighted property of our licensors or licensees. All trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress are proprietary to us and/or our licensors or licensees. We may change the AUI Site(s) or delete Content or features at any time, in any way, for any or no reason.
Except as we specifically agree in writing, no Content from any AUI Site may be used, reproduced, transmitted, distributed or otherwise exploited in any way other than as part of the AUI Site, except that where an AUI Site is configured to enable the download of particular Content, you may download one copy of such Content to a single computer for your personal, noncommercial home use only, provided that you (a) keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices, (b) make no modifications to the Content, and© do not use the Content in a manner that suggests an association with any of our products, services or brands. Any business use, “re-mailing” or high-volume or automated use of AUI Sites is prohibited.
In the event that we offer downloads of software on an AUI Site and you download such software, the software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the “Software“) are licensed to you by us or third-party licensors for your personal, noncommercial home use only. We do not transfer title to the Software to you. You may not distribute or otherwise exploit the Software or decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-readable form.
3.SUBMISSIONS
In these terms of use, we use the word “Submissions” to mean text, messages, ideas, concepts, suggestions, stories, artwork, photographs, drawings, videos, audiovisual works, musical compositions (including lyrics) and sound recordings, characterizations, your and/or other persons’ names, likenesses, voices, usernames, profiles, actions, appearances, performances and/or other biographical information or material, and/or other similar materials that you submit, post, upload, embed, display, communicate or otherwise distribute (collectively, “Distribute“) on or through an AUI Site.
There are two types of Submissions: Solicited Submissions and Unsolicited Submissions. “Solicited Submissions” means those Submissions (a) that we expressly request or enable you to provide to us via any feature or activity on an AUI Site for our review or display, including the AU Underground Concert Series, and possible specifically-defined consideration or compensation (collectively, “Consideration“) (such as prizes or other value in games, sweepstakes, contests and promotions, and/or publicity as in the AU Underground Concert Series); and (b) that you Distribute on or through any AUI Site for which you do not seek Consideration (such as in our Customer Services and in Public Forums (as defined below in Section 6, entitled “PUBLIC FORUMS AND COMMUNICATION”)). “Unsolicited Submissions” are any and all Submissions that do not fall within subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this paragraph.
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY UNSOLICITED SUBMISSIONS; NO IMPLIED CONTRACT.
Our company policy does not allow us to accept or consider Unsolicited Submissions so please do not Distribute Unsolicited Submissions on or through any AUI Sites. We want to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by us or under our direction might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. WE THEREFORE ASK THAT YOU NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY UNSOLICITED SUBMISSION. In any event, you agree that any Submissions you make are not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of any review, compensation or consideration of any type (other than any stated Consideration).
Except as expressly stated in these terms of use, the provisions of these terms of use apply equally to Unsolicited Submissions and Solicited Submissions. Accordingly, we, our licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users shall be entitled to exploit and disclose all Submissions, and we shall not be liable to you or to any person claiming through you for any exploitation or disclosure of any Submission.
