ABOUT USER ACCESS AND RESPONSIBILITY 

We are giving you a ‘limited license’ to the site. Here’s what that means. You’re free to have this access (or limited license) as long as you follow these terms of use and all of our other Terms of Service as they apply to you. We’ll do our best to make sure our services are safe and working as they should, but we can’t guarantee you’ll have access continuously. In fact, we might even stop providing certain features or the services completely and don’t have to give notice if we do.

• • - We can take away your right to use our services at any time. If you violate our Terms of Use or other parts of our Terms of Service, we can take away your access to HuddleDay. Officially, this is called terminating your license, and if it happens, we’ll tell you and you must stop using our services immediately. 
• • - Using our services doesn’t mean you can use any of our trademarks or other intellectual property, like copyrights and patents. We keep all of our rights to our intellectual property, even though we let you use our services.
• • - You’re responsible for how you use our site and anything you post on it. If someone makes a claim against us because of anything you put on the site, you agree to compensate us for our legal fees and expenses (the lawyers call this, ‘indemnification’). When you post content on (or through) our site or give us content for posting, you agree that you’re completely responsible for that content and we’re not. You also agree to only post or give us content that:
• • you have the right to post is legal and doesn’t violate anyone’s rights, including intellectual property rights.

• • - By posting content on the site, you give other people some rights to that content. Whenever you post content on our site, you give us and our affiliates a permanent right (called an ‘irrevocable and non-exclusive worldwide license’) to use, edit and share that content – across the world and without paying royalties. If your name, voice, and image appear in the content you post, we also might use those on the site or in our day-to-day business. For example, if you’re a freelancer, we might share your profile with clients we think could be a good match. You also give each user and site visitor the right to access and use your content through the site. They also have the right to use, copy and share your content – as long as they do it through the site, and follow both our Terms of Service and the law.
