1. You represent and warrant that you have reached the age of majority in your province or territory of residence.
2. You grant to 鶹.com.ca ULC and its affiliates ("鶹") and its sublicensees a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, revocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display your content throughout the world in any media. You also grant to 鶹 and its sublicensees the right to use the name and social media user profile associated with your content. For purposes of this agreement, "content" means photographs, text, graphics, moving images, sound, illustrations or any other materials, including any associated metadata or location information made available by or through the social media platforms from which we access your content.
3. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to your content; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify 鶹 for all claims resulting from content you supply. 鶹 takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content you supply.
4. You understand that you will not be paid for 鶹's use of your content.
5. 鶹 respects the intellectual property of others. If you want 鶹 to stop using your content, please submit a Report Infringement Form and we will stop using your content within 30 days.
6. We may amend this agreement at our sole discretion by posting the revised terms on this site or its successor. Any amendment will be effective upon the posting of the revised terms. If any amendment is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to request that we stop using your content as described above.
7. This is the entire agreement between you and 鶹 in relation to your content.
8. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your content will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify and (2) if an applicable law in your province of residence gives you the right to resolve your dispute or claim before the courts of that province notwithstanding your agreement to arbitration, you may elect either to do so or proceed in arbitration.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 304, Tumwater, WA 98501. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totalling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, 鶹.ca will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action . If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
