Last Revised Nov. 11, 2015

Proprietary Rights in Content

1. ObiBooks does not claim any ownership rights in the text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, musical works, works of authorship, applications, or any other materials (collectively, "Content") that you transmit, submit, display or publish ("post") on, through or in connection with ObiBooks . After posting your Content on, through or in connection with the ObiBooks web site or mobile data services (collectively, "the Service"), you continue to retain any such rights that you may have in your Content, subject to the limited license herein. By posting any Content on, through or in connection with the Service, you hereby grant to ObiBooks a limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely on, through or in connection with the Service, including, without limitation, through the Service to applications, widgets, websites or mobile, including, without limitation, distributing part or all of the Service and any Content included therein, in any media formats and through any media channels, except that Content marked "private" will not be distributed outside the Service. This limited license does not grant ObiBooks the right to sell or otherwise distribute your Content outside of the Service. After you remove your Content from the Service we will cease distribution as soon as practicable, and at such time when distribution ceases, the license will terminate. The license you grant to ObiBooks is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Content to anyone else in addition to ObiBooks ), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that ObiBooks is not required to pay you or anyone else deriving rights from you for the use on the Service of the Content that you post), sublicensable (so that ObiBooks is able to use its affiliates, subcontractors and other partners such as Internet content delivery networks and wireless carriers to provide the Service), and worldwide (because the Internet and the Service are global in reach).
2. You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on, through or in connection with the Service, or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this Section 6, and (ii) the posting of your Content on, through or in connection with the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person or entity. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person or entity by reason of the use of any Content posted by you on or through the Service.
3. We reserve the right to limit the storage capacity of Content that you post on, through or in connection with the Service.
4. The Service contains content created by ObiBooks staff or licenced by ObiBooks ("ObiBooks Content"). ObiBooks Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and ObiBooks owns and retains all rights in ObiBooks Content. ObiBooks hereby grants you a limited, revocable, nonsublicencable license to reproduce and display ObiBooks Content (excluding any software code) solely for your personal use in connection with using the Service.
5. The Service contains content provided by Users ("User Content"). Except as otherwise provided within this Agreement, you may not copy, download, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, display, sell or otherwise use any User Content appearing on or through the Service.
6. The Service contains Content of third party licensors that are not Users (such licensors, "Third Party Licensors" and such content "Third Party Content"). Third Party Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and each Third Party Licensor retains all rights in its Third Party Content. You are hereby granted a limited, revocable, non-sublicencable license to view, or listen to, as applicable, the Third Party Content solely for your personal, non-commercial use in connection with viewing and using the Service. Except for the foregoing limited license, and except as otherwise expressly provided in writing by ObiBooks , you are granted no right, title or interest in any Third Party Content. You are only granted a limited license and there is not a sale with respect to Third Party Content. Except as otherwise provided within this Agreement or directly authorized by ObiBooks and/or a Third Party Licensor on the Service (e.g., as part of a promotion that encourages you to download specific Third Party Content for your use in connection with such promotion), you may not copy, download, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, display, sell or otherwise use any Third Party Content.
