User Content
When you use the Service, we may employ clear GIFs (also known as web beacons) which are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our Users. In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. This information allows for more accurate reporting and improvement of the Service.

Device identifiers
When you access the Service by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smartphones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor, and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers,” such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by HelloSivi. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Service. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Service. Some features of the Service may not function properly if the use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled. Device Identifiers used by HelloSivi include the Android Advertising ID and iOS Advertising Identifier.

Location data
When you access the Service by or through a mobile device, we may access, collect, monitor, and/or remotely store “location data,” which may include GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device. Location data may convey to us information about how you browse and use the Service. Some features of the Service, particularly location-based services, may not function properly if the use or availability of location data is impaired or disabled.

HelloSivi reserves the right but is not obligated, to reject and/or remove any User Content that HelloSivi believes, in its sole discretion, violates these provisions. You understand that publishing your User Content on or via the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer’s Guild of America, or any other rights organization. Further, you understand that if you contribute User Content under a Brand, the Brand Owner will own—and be entirely responsible for—all such User Content.

Some areas of the Service allow Users to submit and publish content such as profile information, comments, questions, photographs, illustrations, fonts, designs, and other content or information (any such materials a User submits, posts, displays, prints, or otherwise makes available on or via the Service without compensation “User Content”).

Your User Content and HelloSivi’s use thereof as contemplated by this Agreement and the Service will not violate any law or infringe any rights of any third party, including but not limited to any Intellectual Property Rights and privacy and publicity rights.

HelloSivi may exercise the rights to your User Content granted under this Agreement without liability for payment of any guild fees, residuals, payments, fees, or royalties payable under any collective bargaining agreement or otherwise.

There is no suit action or claim or other legal or administrative proceeding now pending or threatened which might directly or indirectly affect any of your User Content or which might in any way impair the rights granted by you hereunder.

If your User Content contains or incorporates in any manner any components including but not limited to design elements, fonts, clipart, sprites, vectors or brush tools and the like that are included in design programs, by uploading any such User Content to HelloSivi, you represent and warrant that the end-user license agreement, terms of service or the equivalent license agreed to by you allows you to incorporate such elements in the User Content created by you, and to license such User Content to HelloSivi for the purposes set forth herein.

Your User Content is neither obscene, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.

To the best of your knowledge, all your User Content and other information that you provide to us is truthful and accurate.

You will not transmit unsolicited emails or engage in spamming to publicize or promote your relationship with HelloSivi.

If you use the Service to post, publish or print User Content, you agree that you have verified that the User Content does not contain anything that is illegal, infringes (or is otherwise deceptively similar to) any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, or otherwise breaches these terms.

You will not engage in pay-per-click advertising using keywords that compete with HelloSivi’s own campaigns in order to promote your relationship with HelloSivi nor will you use or engage a third party on your behalf to use HelloSivi in any domain name.

Upon making or learning of any claim that is inconsistent with any of the representations or warranties made by you, HelloSivi shall send you written notice of such claim, using the email address provided by you to HelloSivi, specifying the details of the claim as then known to HelloSivi. Pending the determination of such claim, HelloSivi may withhold from royalties and/or other compensation due to you hereunder, such sums as are reasonably related to the probable value of the claim as determined by HelloSivi.

HelloSivi takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other User or third party posts, publishes, or prints over or using the Service. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, publishing, and printing it, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Content. You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content or Stock Media that is inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate for children, or otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you agree that HelloSivi shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of User Content, Stock Media or your use of either in printed form. In the event that your User Content is alleged to be offensive, inappropriate for children, unlawful, or otherwise in breach of these terms, you agree that HelloSivi may disclose such User Content to law enforcement or other government authorities.

By publishing any designs containing User Content using the Service, you expressly grant, and you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant to HelloSivi a multi-use, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, syndicate, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such User Content and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your User Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for use in connection with the Service and HelloSivi’s (and its successors’ and affiliates’) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels.
