These terms of service (“Terms of Service” or “Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions governing your use of the IONE Sites and Services. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Site” or “Company Sites” includes the IONE Sites, Services, and any interactive features or applications that post or link to these Terms of Service.

By accessing or using the Company Sites, you (the “User”) signify that you have read, understand and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service, as they may be amended from time to time, whether or not you have registered as a member of any Company Sites. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use this Company Site. Since IONE offers many different Services, additional terms or requirements may apply to certain service offerings and these additional terms will accompany such offering.

Some of our Company Sites and Services allow you to upload, submit, send or receive content. You understand that you are solely responsible for your profile (including your name, image, likeness) and all information, including without limitation, data files, written text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds, photographs, videos or other images and other content that you upload, post or display on or through the Services or the IONE Sites, including from any third party services, or transmit to or share with other users from the Company Sites (collectively the “User Content”). You may not post, transmit, or share User Content on the Services or on the Site that you did not create or that you do not have permission to post, transmit or share. Our Services display third party content that is not owned or controlled by us. This content is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. Although we may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our polices, we do not generally review content. You understand and agree that IONE has no obligation to monitor, pre-screen, review, flag, filter or modify the Sites, but reserves the right to edit, refuse to post, delete or remove (without notice) any User Content in its sole discretion, including User Content that in the sole judgment of IONE violates these Terms of Service or which might be offensive, illegal, or that might violate the rights, harm, or threaten the safety of others. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to User Content that you may find offensive, indecent or objectionable and that, accordingly, you agree to use the Services at your own risk. In no event shall IONE assume or have any responsibility or liability for any posted User Content, including for any claims, damages or losses resulting from the use and/or appearance of such User Content on the Company Sites. IONE reserves the right at all times to disclose any information (including the identity of the persons providing information or User Content on any Company Sites), as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental request.

When you post User Content to any of the Company Sites, you authorize and direct us to make copies thereof as we deem necessary in order to facilitate the posting and storage of the User Content on the Site. When you upload, store, submit, send or receive User Content to and through our Services, or any part of the Company Sites, you automatically grant to us (and third parties we work with such as our affiliates, third party vendors and licensees) a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, host, store, reproduce, create derivative works, excerpt (in whole or part) communicate, publically perform, publish, display and distribute such User Content for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, on or in connection with the IONE Sites or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. This license continues even if you stop using our Services. Company does not assert any ownership over your User Content; rather, as between us and you, subject to the rights granted to us in these Terms, you retain full ownership of all of your User Content and any associated intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights; provided that you acknowledge and agree that you are fully responsible for protecting and enforcing such rights and that IONE shall have at no obligation to do so on your behalf. Please be certain that you have the necessary rights to grant us this license for any User Content that you submit to our Services and Company Sites.
