Enforcement of the Work or conduct rules set forth in these Terms is solely at our discretion, and failure to enforce such rules in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce such rules in other instances. In addition, these rules do not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation that the Sites will not contain any content that is prohibited by such rules. As a provider of interactive services, we are not liable for any statements, representations, or Work provided by its users in any public forum, blog or other area of the Sites. Although StoryBee Inc. has no obligation to do so, it reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any Work posted or stored on the Sites at any time and for any reason without notice, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any Work you post or store on the Sites at your sole cost and expense. Any use of the Sites in violation of the foregoing violates these Terms and may result in, among other things, termination, or suspension of your rights to use the Sites.

Except as otherwise provided, you retain ownership of all Work you submit. However, if you submit Work to the Sites, unless we indicate otherwise, you grant StoryBee Inc. and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such Work throughout the world in any manner or media, including without limitation in advertising, fundraising and other communications in support of StoryBee Inc., the issues, organizations or causes supported by StoryBee Inc., without any right of compensation or attribution. You grant us and our affiliates and sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose. You represent and warrant that (a) you own and control all of the rights to the Work that you post or you otherwise have the right to post such Work to the Sites; (b) the Work is accurate and not misleading; and (c) use and posting of the Work you supply does not violate these Terms and will not violate any rights of or cause injury to any person or entity.
