Grantor invites Grantee to join in, interact with, and share Social Media Content. Grantor and Grantee agree to respect the rules of the various social media platforms. Further, Grantee must ensure to share and/or post Grantor’s Social Media Content in its entirety and to refrain from sharing and/or posting only portions of Grantor’s Social Media Content in order to avoid taking the Social Media Content out of context. Grantor reserves the right to remove posts that don’t comply, or are deemed inappropriate and/or abusive, and to remove and/or block users that continuously violate Grantor’s Social Media guidelines. Additionally, Grantor may modify the Social Media guidelines as the social media networks themselves grow and change.

Grantor expressly permits to Grantee the right to use the Video Content and/or Audio Content as stated above, which permission will not be unreasonably withheld or withdrawn, unless and until Grantor deems Grantee’s usage is in violation of the permitted uses set out herein, or for any reason Grantor may deem necessary. If and when Grantor determines Grantee’s usage is in violation of these terms of use, Grantor will instruct Grantee to immediately remove the Video Content and/or Audio Content. If Grantee fails to immediately remove the Video Content and/or Audio Content upon the demand of Grantor, Grantor reserves the right to seek all legal and other remedies available to ensure Grantor’s Intellectual Property rights and all other rights are preserved.
