Instead, you hereby grant to Vinup a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content that you post on or through the Service, subject to the Service's Privacy Policy. This IP License is for the purpose of making available the Services provided to you and to others that access or use the Services.

Some of the Service is supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions, and you hereby agree that Vinup may place such advertising and promotions on the Service.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on or through the Service or otherwise have the right to grant the rights and licenses set forth in these Terms of Use; (ii) the posting and use of your Content on or through the Service does not violate, misappropriate or infringe on the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademark and/or other intellectual property rights; (iii) you agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owed by reason of Content you post on or through the Service; and (iv) you have the legal right and capacity to enter into these Terms of Use in your jurisdiction.

Vinup Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and, as between you and Vinup, Vinup owns and retains all rights in the Vinup Content and the Service. You will not remove, alter or conceal any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Vinup Content and you will not reproduce, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works based on, perform, display, publish, distribute, transmit, broadcast, sell, license or otherwise exploit the Vinup Content. 

The Vinup name and logo are trademarks of Vinup, and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of Vinup 

Although it is Vinup's intention for the Service to be available as much as possible, there will be occasions when the Service may be interrupted, including, without limitation, for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, for emergency repairs, or due to failure of telecommunications links and/or equipment. Also, Vinup reserves the right to remove any Content from the Service if we believe that it violates these Terms or the policies linked to from these Terms, without prior notice. Content removed from the Service may continue to be stored by Vinup, including, without limitation, in order to comply with certain legal obligations, but may not be retrievable without a valid court order. Consequently, Vinup encourages you to maintain your own backup of your Content. In other words, Vinup is not a backup service and you agree that you will not rely on the Service for the purposes of Content backup or storage. Vinup will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services, or the loss of any Content. You also acknowledge that the Internet may be subject to breaches of security and that the submission of Content or other information may not be secure.

Except as otherwise described in the Service's Privacy Policy, as between you and Vinup, any Content will be non-confidential and non-proprietary and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure of Content. You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with Vinup is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit any Content does not place Vinup in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public, including with regard to your Content. None of your Content will be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Vinup, and Vinup will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Content you provide.

It is Vinup's policy not to accept or consider content, information, ideas, suggestions or other materials other than those we have specifically requested and to which certain specific terms, conditions and requirements may apply. This is to avoid any misunderstandings if your ideas are similar to those we have developed or are developing independently. Accordingly, Vinup does not accept unsolicited materials or ideas, and takes no responsibility for any materials or ideas so transmitted. If, despite our policy, you choose to send us content, information, ideas, suggestions, or other materials, you further agree that Vinup is free to use any such content, information, ideas, suggestions or other materials, for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing and marketing products and services, without any liability or payment of any kind to you.
