  1. Ownership. The content on the OpenX Website, including text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, interactive features and the like, but excluding Submissions and Feedback (each as defined below)  (collectively, “Content”) and the OPENX trademark and logo, as well as certain other of the names, logos and materials displayed on or through the OpenX Website that constitute trademarks or logos (collectively, “Marks”) are owned by or licensed to OpenX and are subject to copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights under U.S. and international laws.  All rights in or to the OpenX Website, including in the Content and the Marks, not granted herein are expressly reserved to OpenX or its licensors.

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit for any purposes the OpenX Website, or any portion of the OpenX Website, including, without limitation, the Content and Marks, except as authorized by these Terms or as otherwise authorized in writing by OpenX and its applicable licensors. You must abide by all copyright notices, information, or restrictions contained in or associated with any Content. You agree that we may use any information we obtain about you through the OpenX Website in accordance with the provisions of our Privacy Policy.  In addition to reviewing these Terms, you should also read our Privacy Policy, which describes how we may collect and use your personal information (https://www.openx.com/privacy-center/privacy-policy/).

  1. Submissions. The OpenX Website may enable you to submit messages, comments, photographs, images, or other content (“Submissions”) to the OpenX Website. When you provide OpenX with a Submission, you grant to OpenX and its affiliates, representatives and assigns a non-exclusive, fully-paid, world-wide, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to display, publicly perform, distribute, store, transcode, broadcast, transmit, reproduce, edit, modify, create derivative works, and otherwise use and reuse your Submissions (or any portions or derivative works thereof) in any manner, in any medium, for any purpose. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of compensation or confidentiality of any nature with respect to any Submission. Submissions may be available to all users of the OpenX Website. OpenX reserves the right to display advertisements in connection with your Submissions and to use your Submissions to advertise and promote OpenX, the OpenX Website and any other OpenX products or services. OpenX reserves the right to modify Submissions in its sole and absolute discretion. OpenX is not required to host, display, or distribute any Submissions, and may refuse or remove them at any time.

OpenX shall have the right, but no obligation, to monitor Submissions to determine compliance with this Agreement. OpenX shall have the right in its sole discretion to edit, refuse to post or remove any Submission. OpenX neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice or statement in any Submission. Notwithstanding the right to monitor set forth herein, OpenX does not control any Submission that you or other users may provide. Accordingly, by permitting you to post Submissions to the OpenX Website, OpenX is not, and will not become, a publisher of such Submissions and is merely functioning as an intermediary to enable you to provide and display Submissions.  

If you make any Submissions, you represent and warrant that: (a) you own all rights in your Submissions or, alternatively, you have acquired all necessary rights in your Submissions to enable you to grant to OpenX the rights in your Submissions described herein; (b) you have paid and will pay in full all license fees, clearance fees, and any other financial obligations, of any kind, arising from any use or commercial exploitation of your Submissions; (c) your Submissions do not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or any other legal or moral rights of any third party. You agree to keep all records necessary to establish that your Submissions do not violate any of the foregoing representations and warranties and to make such records available to OpenX upon OpenX’s request; and (d) you are at least 18 years of age or between the ages of 13 and 17 and using the OpenX Website with parental or legal guardian consent and supervision.  

  1. Feedback. You further agree that OpenX and its affiliates are free to use for any purpose whatsoever, ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, comments, criticisms, reports, or other feedback other than Submissions (“Feedback”), whether oral or written, that you may send to OpenX or its affiliates. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of compensation or confidentiality of any nature, and that OpenX has no duties to you, with respect to such Feedback. 
  2. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. OpenX respects the intellectual property rights of others. Upon proper notice, OpenX will remove Submissions or other applicable content that violate copyright law and terminate repeat infringers. Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512, OpenX has implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed copyright infringement and for processing such claims in accordance with such law. If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please send OpenX’s copyright agent a notification of claimed infringement with all of the following information:

(a) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;

(b) identification of the claimed infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit OpenX to locate the material on the OpenX Website;

(c) information reasonably sufficient to permit OpenX to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address;

(d) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;

(e) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf; and

(f) your physical or electronic signature.

Please send all of the above enumerated information to the following OpenX copyright agent:

  2. Exclusions and Limitations. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you.
